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%.
