Punch And Pie Will Not Be Provided

Today marks 3 years since I started blogging. The first site was originally created as a joke for my friends, then discovered somehow by Tim Blair whose links sent me a mighty 70 hits a day. Now, just in the last week, 90% of traffic here is referral and attempted comment spammers (as well as people searching for "tub girl", which is really not right).

A lot has changed since then (including just about everyone's url, not just mine). Back then I was in the middle of my second and last 27th year and, from looking at some old archives, full of the newbie need to praise/link Instapundit all the time. In my defense, I claim it wasn't as lame to do that back then. The initial site was mostly political commentary bluster, now I lack the self-confidence to pretty much believe in anything anymore.

But at least I still have my lame jokes. And since I seem to be addicted to this stuff, those jokes and I will probably be around for awhile.




Happy anniversary. Today is also mine - four years ago today I made a really lame post on a Tripod site.

If you were to do a retrospective, I would implore you to bring back the hugs. Just saying.

Happy to be in the other 10%.

Congratulations. According to Hallmark, the third anniversary is the "burlap" anniversary -- enjoy!
