Well, I certainly have egg on my face now. I (almost) totally forgot about something really important. But at least I’m not alone in my shameful-egg-faced-ness; Tim also seems to have forgotten (although I’m sure he’ll have a cool excuse like, "My homework ate my dog.") What is it that we have forgotten, you ask? Well, I’m glad that you inquired. We have overlooked the birth-versary-day of The Blue Beaver Beer Blog. It’s true, it’s damn true. One year ago Tim and I posted our very first entries (on the 22nd and 23rd of October 2006, respectively). Admittedly, those first two didn’t seem like much:
Ring…Ring…Ring…. Click "operator," Pause "I’m in."
and
I want to log in to you.
There you are the words that started it all. Someday they’ll be as well known as that Neil Armstrong quote. You know, the one about men leaping. Of course we didn’t actually write those ourselves, we totally ripped off were inspired by other sources. However, in the weeks and months that followed we became better, stronger, faster. For the record, my first real post was exactly one year ago today, so therefore I didn’t totally miss our birth-versary-day.
With that in mind do you remember when your favourite t.v. series used to do those "clip-shows". Remember how they used to use some cheap ploy to get the main characters to fondly recollect things that happened to them. Remember that feeling you’d get watching the "clip-shows", a feeling akin to being cheated out of something you were really looking foward to? Well, then come back here to relive that feeling as we present to you some clips of past posts. That way we won’t have to come up with anything new for at least a week.
No, I never forgot, Ernie. I just was seized by apathy from lack of sleep and work stress. And also, I was going to do something about it, but my dog was teaching me to bark with an English accent. It became all consuming, for hours.
