Guess what today is, guys. That’s right. Is our birfday!

Today is the one-year anniversary of the very first SodBlog posting. Just to give you an idea of what the scope of all this is, if this website wasn’t actually a website and was instead, say, a Shetland pony, we would look something like this:

That’s right. We’d be an incredibly adorable pony. Don’t you just want to feed us sugar cubes?

So since birthdays are a time for self-reflection and seeing how much cake you can fit into your mouth, what is it we’ve learned in the past year?

• We are still kicking the ass of Abe Vigoda’s website traffic.
• Trying to title all posts with “Sod [fill in the blank]” gets a bit tiresome after a while.
• Nate has a lot of really nice memories of his childhood.
• A good way to attract traffic is to call Sarah Palin awful, terrible things.
• When in doubt, write about funny cat videos you find on YouTube.
• That Colbert kid I hired is kind of a slacker.
• We like talking about facial hair. Probably more than we should.
• If you break your thoughts down into a neatly organized, bulleted list, it really helps to keep things organized and concise.

So that’s that. One year down, and only fifty or sixty more until we can afford to retire. So what can you expect from the SodBlog in the future? I’m glad you asked. I don’t want to give too much away, so I’ll just give you a one-word hint.

War.

That’s right. In the coming year, we will be going to war with every other website on the Internet until we are the last one standing amidst a pile of broken, crushed, HTML-encoded corpses. One we are finished, there will be nothing left on the Internet but us, and then you will have no choice but to visit here every single day, because we’ll be all that’s left. There can be only one. May it be the SodBlog.

Now who wants some cake?
