More Milestones

This is another proud moment for the blog.  Today, BTYBP issues its first retraction.

That's right, up until now this blog has been setting the standard* of factual accuracy, academic rigor and journalistic integrity.

*I just didn't say what standard.

However, it has come to my attention that my previous "Milestones" post unfairly slandered one of my hapless  loyal followers: Jenn M.

Apparently, my comments about her being a "lurker" and not understanding the RSS feed were unfounded.  Jenn has in fact been a loyal follower under the pseudonym "genevieve".  Which, by the way, I know two Genevieves and you are not one of them!  That position has been filled.

I am however still not convinced she knows how to use a microwave.  Show me the proof Jenn.  Preferably in the form of a pizza pocket.

So in the interests of balance and fairness - Fox News style - I've decided to share the following completely true facts about Jenn: 

Jenn cannot be killed.  So far this is true.
Jenn can open automatic doors.  With her mind.  
Jenn has a unicorn named Tabitha.  No, it's invisible.  And no, you can't ride it.
Jenn knows what you did last summer.  And you should be very, very ashamed.

MILESTONES

Hey friends!

I didn't even realize it, but yesterday was our 100th post!  We made it!!

This calls for champagne!  Let me check just the budget...

Okay so this calls for Oreos! 

I want to give my most sincere thanks to my followers.  All twelve of you.  You know who else had twelve followers?  Jesus.  Although I'm pretty sure one of them wasn't his mom.

To all my lurkers: follow me already!  Don't think I can't see your page views.  What, you think you're "too cool" to subscribe? 

One lurker in particular deserves special mention: Jenn M, who keeps texting me for the address to the blog :P

You know who has the address?  YOUR RSS FEED.  USE IT.  Seriously, my mom figured it out and she can barely work the microwave. 

Now it's time for...

The 100th Post Awards:

E3, for being by FAR the most prolific commenter.  Your Oreos are in the mail.

Jenn M, for being my most faithful non-follower.  Your encouragement keeps me going.

Andrew (another lurker), for lending me Raging Bull and Catch 22.  Not blog-related, but still cool.

WE DID IT!!

Today is a momentous occasion!

Not only have I finished a whole month's worth of posts, but today I got my first blogging gig! I was asked to do some blogging (paid in gratitude) for Ecology Ottawa.

You can check it out here.

In other news, I may be mildly concussed. The hits just keep on coming. Thanks to Ultimate I now have a sore body, a black eye, a tan that will never even out, and a nagging suspicion that I have blown a gasket in my brain.

And you know what? Totally worth it.
