I have been meaning to ask you this for sometime now but “Damn” the “Olsen twins” really? Sometimes these
“Goonies” just amaze me. I wonder what “Wil Wheaton” thinks of “Attack of the Clones” Did “Rodd” like it? I’m not sure about “Nigella Lawson” or “Andy Roddick” though. Whoops I sure hope this dosen’t skew the stats. 🙂

I take full responsibility for the nude Olsen Twins thing.

So when are you going to complete the set of continents blogged? There can’t be that many bloggers who’ve managed four already: you might well be the first ever. Think of it, a place in history awaits…
In any case, many happy returns on the occasion of your second blogbirthday.

Well, I was supposed to hit Africa this spring for my friend’s wedding, but it’s been postponed. It’s still possible I’ll cross that one off this year. So what’s that leave? South America? Hmm. I can’t think of any reason I might go there. South America will be my undoing.
Do we still count Antarctica? That one might actually be doable. It’s not far from us down here… 🙂

Happy Blogday!!
You know, I totally forgot that Wil Wheaton commented. *sigh* I love him.

Antarctica is *definitely* stil counted, I’m afraid.
As for South America, if you ever reach the point where you’ve blogged from all the other continents then I think you owe it to your readers to make sure you complete the set. 😛

Happy second blogday, and here’s to many more. (And why not refer to Snook as “the precious” this year for a change?)

Ha! Good idea. (Now I’m envisioning some sort of “Gollum-izer”, that would take a URL and randomly replace nouns with “the precious” and throw in phrases like “We hates it forever!”. Hey, that could be fun!)

I have been reading since almost the very beginning (where did those years go?) and have never as much as though about leaving any comments before. But hey, this is an appropriate time so I thought I’d just say your site is great and I read it all the time, in a non-creepily obsessed way… well, I do hope so. I’m pretty biased, so I probably am at least a little creepy. Anyway the original point of this post was to congratulate you so I shall do that. Keep up the goodness, but I’m not pressuring you or anything. I would still read it if it was awful.

Wow, thanks for that! I’ve often wondered if there were secret lurking readers out there. You should say “hi” more often. Really, we don’t bite. 🙂

Heheh I nominate your Mom’s post in the lurker callout thread for best post ever.
