Milestones

This weekend I went over 2,000 hits on my profile. And in only 15 months or so. I'm not sure whether that's good or bad, but I was impressed. It seems like a decent number for someone who never posts pictures of himself nude, although if I did that would probably drive the number down. Now that I've reached the 2,000 number maybe I should start selling T-shirts or otherwise whoring this thing out for money. But that would entail effort, and in case you haven't noticed, we're not all that big on sustained effort around here. Or quality, coherent storytelling or even decent editing.

Instead I'll just thank each and every one of you that has stopped by and made my little blogging habit such an interesting experience. (This is where you pretend like I just typed "thank you" 2,007 times. Don't tell anyone we're faking it; they'll never notice).

During the last 15 months I've learned a lot from all of you. For instance, it turns out that lesbians aren't mythical creatures like unicorns! Who knew? It turns out that someone invented a board game based on German government, and apparently it doesn't involve cutting a deal with Russia and then invading Poland. Belgian Malinois dogs are nuts, but gorgeous animals. Some people talk to their breakfast foods before drwoning them in syrup. Pink is the new black. Strippers like tequila more than I do, but not as much as I like strippers. Jewish mothers are insane. Irish people like Guinness. OK, I knew that one. And most amazing of all, none of you have attmepted to track me down and kill me for the endlessly asinine comments I leave all over the place.

Of course, if you try it now, you'll be in deep shit. My German Two-handed Sword class starts tonight. For real. More on that tomorrow. Assuming , of course, I don't accidentally lop off a classmate's head tonight, or vice versa.
