HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, DARLINGS!!!
It's been one year since I started blogging. Exactly. So it's time to reflect. Time to take stock. Time to look back. Time to review. Time to examine where I thought I was headed. Time to evaluate whether I was remotely close to properly predicting where my blogging would lead. Well, on second thought, it's not really time for me to do that.
That's your job.
I just type here.
Anyway, to help you happy readers on your way, here's what I said in my Opening Salvo.
And now, over two hundred fifty (250) posts later, it's time to celebrate with a little contest. The (booby (literally)) prize for which will be the use, by me, of the un-retouched version of the photograph set out below in this post as my "profile" picture for one month. Trust me, you will all enjoy it. I will not. In the un-retouched photo, you'll be able to clearly see that I am wearing this swimsuit.
- CONTEST: I have identified my all-time favorite comment left on my blog over the past year. That fact is not relevant to the contest. I just thought I'd mention it. Now, with respect to the contest . . . . If, during a period commencing upon the publication of this post and expiring seventy-two hours after such publication, twenty (20) different people show up here on my blog and leave a comment on this post identifying their favorite post on this blog (or someone else's blog if they didn't happen to enjoy any of the posts on this blog over the past year), I will begin using the above-referenced unretouched version of the photograph set out below for my profile picture, and I will continue to use the above-referenced unretouched version of the photograph set out below as my profile picture for one month or until enough people ask me to stop. Which could easily happen. Seriously.

So ... that's it!
Happy anniversary, darlings!!
P.S.
My favorite comment ever?
Of course you want to know.
It's appended to this post, my third or so. And it's from an anonymous poster commenting under the handle "Funshine Bear" (how could you not love it?) who said: "A Finnish peasant woman, a harvest field mouse, whips, chains, whistles, yoyo's, my grandma riding by on bicycle giving me the finger, and a duck."
Priceless.
Seriously.

Okay Garrett, this is hard, and I am not going to waste too much time trying to decide like I usually do. Garbage in Garbage out remember? So, I have narrowed it down to two of my favorite posts by you. Again, I haven't really taken the time to disect, but these two stick out for me.
1) On Probabilities and the Alphabet - Part 1
2) On Doing the Right Thing - Part 1
What I liked about "On Doing the Right Thing - part 1 is not only did it make me laugh out loud, but it shows that you are human and not just a guy in speedos standing by your glamorous pool. However, I am very much looking forward to seeing this photo you propose to show.
Seriously.
One down, nineteen to go.
Where are your people garrett? Where is that frog, I mean fog? Where is the pink? Where is Erin? Where are they all to discuss and choose?
Come on guys, garrett needs 19 more people to feed his ego.
Garrett, you need to take lessons from me. I have my own ego machine independent of anything and anyone. It works magnificently, especially in interviews.
Fog, posts not comments. Step down from the bike and take a moment.
Come on Guy! Don't you want to see Garrett in his speedos!!
Garrett, I give you full permission to slap the pink in two.
Come on Guys!!
It was supposed to be plural. Sorry.
Two down, eighteen to go.
Fifty-four hours to go.
I enjoyed the hurricane escape updates.
Three down, seventeen to go.
Twenty-seven hours remaining.
Looks like I may get lucky here. Due to, of course, my staggering unpopularity!
I like the one about nose hairs.
Now lets have a look at your willy.
I like the one about juggling.
Dant
Gotta be 12 days of Harvey & Eck!
Chinese Ho!
Half naked thursday
I liked the ones about your poker winnings...
I like the post about your toe nails. The Big Toe Captain Part 1
I really enjoyed the post about your erasers. On My Eraser - Part 1
Gotta be the one about getting those pants hemmed and the subsequent updates
I liked the one on curriencies.
Thats hot!
I like all y'alls postin's.
I liked this one the best!
October, 2005 Duck, Duck, Poop.
Priceless. I printed it out and hung it on my wall.
Me Chinese, Me play joke
Me put pee pee in your coke!
Me forgot,
Sept. 30, 2005 'That is some Wall'
is me favorite.
It is some wall.
I believe there are only 2 or 3 more to go.
Please Erin and the pink, discuss.
According to the good folks at blogpatrol, there were several comments left by the same person.
I'm giving credit for seven unique people leaving comments, and that's probably overly generous.
So, we're at seven down, thirteen more to go.
Thirteen hours to the deadline.
Good going guys.
Whoo-hoo!
I get to keep one secret, at least. Far less than twenty souls showed up so no SPEEDO for blogland. Thank goodness.
Fools!
I've already seen that. No big whoop!
