Last Licks: Putting Together a Blogoversary Best-Of

Pushed ahead in queue, one last time.

Well, on December 30th, this stupid moronblog turns one year old.

Yeahp, one year. One stupid, dreadful, useless year of blogging stupid opinions and wisecracks.

Here's my famous First Post, which reads, in its entirety, "First Post." Pretty original for a blogger, huh?

And then that was followed by a profane rewriting of Poe's Raven that I typed up one night for no good reason and then sent to Son of Nixon, who seemed to like it.

On a roll, I then caught some stupid British writer actually comparing Saddam Hussein favorably to Jesus Christ. Butcher of Baghdad, Son of Man-- what's the difference, really?

And then, of course, I finally got some attention with my famously-dorky and stupid D&D Guide to the Democratic Presidential Candidates. That post-- getting linked by NRO and all -- actually wound up getting me actual readers and stuff.

At some point I guess I'll put together a Best-Of list -- actually, I'm thinking of doing a Hey, Remember the Last Year of Blogging? VH-1 style show featuring Johnny Coldcuts, Geoffrey the Duck, Rich "Psycho" Giamboni, and maybe that Lisa Loeb chick from Blender -- and so I'd like a little input on what my best-of actually is.

Yes, this is self-indulgent. Because I'm self-indulgent. That's what I do best. I indulge myself.

I figure I know the bigger best-of stuff -- God, I've reposted it enough already -- but if there's little stuff that slipped through the cracks maybe someone can remind me of it.

It's not really a poll or anything, but I guess I'll guage responses to figure out what my actual best posts are/were.

Addendum: Thanks for all the suggestions so far!

Another Addendum: Hey, if I've had a particularly egregious misfire, let me know about that, too. I know I've written some lame pieces.
