So Ishbadiddle is, today, officially 3,000 posts old!
Our 17 authors (and our guests) have covered 1,889 topics. Along the way (and the following list is culled from the Featured Posts archive; no way am I going to sift through 2,999 posts today), we have:
Organized flood relief from Hurricane Katrina; helped ourselves get organized; written manifesto after manifesto after manifesto after manifesto; tried to turn blogs into semantic webs; considered renting our apartment to Old Dirty Bastard; drank with Robert Plant; interviewed DEVO's Gerald Casale; announced not one, but two weddings; rescued sparrows and accident victims; discovered who the really influential authors are; defended our right to protest; detailed why invading Iraq was a bad idea and how to bring about peace in the Middle East; uncovered the hidden Buffy - Necronomicon link and the cigarette - Palm Pilot link; named chickens after rap stars; proposed a method to keep pornography out of children's hands while protecting our First Amendment rights; wondered why the Second Amendment was more important than fighting terrorism; discussed our religion; got climbed on by monkeys; told New York stories; talked about history and molasses; wrote a great idea for a bad screenplay; mourned a Beatle; questioned the appeal of the Mafia; and tried to keep the conversation civil.
And then there was September 11th, which we all wrote about again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again.... This was an important way for us, an important way for me, to deal with 9/11, and I cannot thank you all enough for helping each other through.
A huge thank you to all our contributors, our regular commenters, our linkers and blogrollers, our blog and RSS feed and LiveJournal readers. And of course to Trip without whom Ishbadiddle would not be possible.
On to the next 3,000 posts!
Congrats on becoming a meaningful part of the daily lives of so many of us! At least the cranks and crackpots like me ...
