Happy Anniversary Mitchieville
It’s hard to believe, but Mitchieville is four years old today. What started as a nothing blog December 31, 2004, has quickly grown to a slightly bigger than nothing blog just four years later. And I have you to thank for that. Well, actually, I have me to thank for that, but without you Mitchieville wouldn’t be around. Hmmm, I suppose that technically even if you weren’t around or ever showed up that Mitchieville would still be running, so I guess I should say that without me there would be no Mitchieville and you…well, you have nice sweater vests.
I was going to wish you a great new year, and give you a really inspiring end of the year message, but when I tried that at Christmas I became ill and nearly met God, so I’m afraid if I applied the same type of message now that I did at Christmas, I might get hit by a transport truck. Actually, I suppose that since I got appendicitis at Christmas after my message, I should equate getting a disease or a physical anomaly over having a random violent event happen to me. It doesn’t make as much sense saying I’d get hit by a transport truck as it does saying that I would wish you a happy new year and then develop AIDS. So let’s go with that–I’m afraid to wish you a happy new year because when I wished you a Merry Christmas I had my appendix burst, so I figure if I wish you a happy new year I’ll come down with AIDS and die. Ya, the AIDS crack was way better.
Thanks to all the older and newer writers on Mitchieville, you are the only reason I come to this God-forsaken place. Without you folks writing your little hearts out, I wouldn’t even show up for work, I would just hang out at the Daily Kos and make fun of Conservatives and wish death upon my political and ideological enemies. You guys truly rock.
Thanks to all the readers from Albuquerque to Zambia, except that I don’t have any readers from Zambia, nor do I expect to ever get a readership from there. I do have a person that comes every day from the Cote De Ivory and a person who shows up religiously from Malaysia, and that combined kicks any Zambian in the world right in their Zambian balls. So there you go, thanks for showing up.
And that’s it, I have to get back to stuffing Tylenol 3 in my gob and sipping on Gibson top shelf rye. That’s what I do now that I have one less organ to worry about, I pop pills and abuse alcohol. I know you wish you were me, but jealousy is just plain sad, and you sound petty when you talk nonsense like that. Just get your own drinking and pill habit and stop envying me, life is too short.
I’m sorry, but I have to say this, I don’t care what the ramifications are: Have a Wonderful and safe New Year and all the best in 2009!
Man, did anyone else get a twinge of pain in their eye socket when they read that, or was that just me?

Four wondermuss years of awesome, Mayor. Here’s to at least three or four more months of the same!
Good to hear that you back to eating and drinking the Breakfast of Champions.

That was a wonderful Mayoral year-end address Mayor and after reading it 16 times I for one can’t wait to tear into ‘09.

Well, you’ve got me all teary-eyed again,Mayor.
Happy New Year.
Oh, and would someone from Zambia, or Zaire, or even Washington, which is pretty damned close, alphabetically speaking, start blogging here, and complete the Mayor’s dream!

Your Honor,
just look both ways before you cross the street tomorrow.
Happy, happy anniversary and new year, with many more to come.

Good stuff Mayor. Let’s work on the next four years. They can be known as your “Obama years” of hope.

If it’s a birthday, do we get to pinch an inch?
