Happy Blog Day to me!

Jayze2.jpg

A year ago today I posted my first entry here at YESBUTNOBUTYES.

I was a relative blog newbie.
Green under the collar.
Unsure of how to exploit my newfound platform.

But, like a few of our newest writers, I was a fan of the site for a long time. So I was determined to live up to the questionable standards of the past.

Hey, it only took a few thousands dollars to convince Scaramouch to let me join the crew.
Hopefully I've made him regret that decision.

At the start Scara advice was simple: "Make sure you post an image with every story," he said, followed by "original content is better than reposting."

Great. I promptly reposted this pube hair.

Over the past year I've learned a little about how this game works. Mostly, if you post stuff that could get someone fired, you're doing something right.

Yeah, I've done my fair share of NSFW and featured T&Acentric things. Okay, mostly NSFW but more on that tomorrow.

I caught hell from friends for booty meat. LOTR fans liked but Firewalls hated this one. This sex in the city spoof however, never really took off.

I've also learned that no matter how good the post, any spelling, grammar or word mistake will incite a riot and make you the laughing stock of the comment section.
(But that's nothing new.)

Oh, and never post spoilers about The Wire in the main body of the post. Save that for the jump. This will save you many annoyed comments from your fellow contributors.

Lastly I have to thank the folks at Gorilla Mask and Campus Clicks - 2 sites you should add to your daily search - for picking up many of my stories.
(Stories? Look after 520+ posts, I'm under the delusion that I'm a writer.)

Anyway, here's two year number too!

Thanks for playing along.

Congratulations Baierman! Though completely unintentional, looks like we'll be sharing the same anniversary :-)

A few thousand dollars? You got a good deal. I gave Scara my collection of Garbage Pail Kids stickers, and promised free babysitting for a year.

Congratulations on surviving that long! Few do.

Baierman - that reminds me, your annual subscription is now due.

Where's your head at?

said E on October 9, 2008 2:06 PM.

Happy anniversary, Baierman.

Scara, how about this year I pay you in stock options?

said Baierman on October 9, 2008 5:10 PM.

CLC...Garbage Pail Kids.....that's why I love your writing....I almost got whiplash from that blast from the past....

the 20 yr olds I'm surrounded by all day would never get that one....it was before they were born...
