A milestone for our open thread

Not being the types to ignore a trumped-up milestone when it could be milked for a post instead, we bring you the 100th our open thread post since Election Night 2006. Though our statistics are padded by Lonnie's penchant for cut-and-paste (which he defends as a step above cut-and-run), you have to admire his persistence.

In a little over two months, we've spanned the globe, or at least the central time zone, to bring you the constant variety of sports, the thrill of politics, the agony of the news, and the rare but ever-popular hermaphrodite deer. Having inadvertently yet thoroughly ignored the community-building aspect of the blogosphere, we've been linked to but one blog (though we neither endorse nor oppose blogsforhillary.com) and have fielded a mere 80 publishable comments (though we're not very selective, as demonstrated by the number of "anonymous" comments).

Nonetheless, we've never failed to amuse ourselves, many of our friends, and at least a smattering of the hundreds (?) who wander by in search of the latest Mediacom/SinclairBroadcasting news or Maureen Dowd.

Up next: a nostalgic look at today's teenagers' lack of appreciation for a Rocky-inspired Tavin video shot during an ice storm at a Wisconsin baseball game. Would you expect anything else?
