Three Hundred.

Well, it looks like we’ve made it the big 300. Another century of blog to get through the tough summer stretch of May-June-July-August-September. Well, maybe not tough for you – all sitting on the beach-like, sipping mai tais and eating Fritos, while your lonely computer sat somewhere far away on a desk. Alone. With only a surge protector to keep it company. And even though you were on vacation, YAB marched on. The Funny was there waiting for you when you returned.

But now it’s back to the grind, and YAB continues its quest to return to the glory days – those days where the new post actually reflected its calendar birthdate. Right now, the guys down in Statistics and Measures tell me we’re 10 off the pace. At 200, we were 6. But considering that gap was as high as 14 when I took off 6 days for a lawfully-wedded vacation of my own, we’re happy with what content we’ve been able to bring. Leak hasn’t stopped, but at least it’s been slowed. Look for big things in Century 4.

Maybe reaching this point should deserve some sort of upgrade. Like a new banner. Or celebrity endorsements. Yeah, that would be nice.
I can see it now – “Starting at quarterback, from Syracuse University, Number 5 – Donovan McYabb!” I think I’ll give his mother a call.

As always, there's a t-shirt on the line. Previous winners, I haven't forgotten about you. You have until Friday, October 7th (the real one, not the backdated one.)
