#1 should've posted a taste, plus he has his top 25 posts linked:
Hey, how 'bout that? This joint is now five years old.

I started this blog with a simple goal in mind: to attract gullible millions into a worldwide online cult and then bilk them of their life savings. Five years, 450-odd posts and almost that many pageviews later, my actual market appeal has proven somewhat more selective. Extremely more selective. Still, it's much more than I deserve, and I'd like offer my very sincere thanks for your patronage. I sure hope you had 1% of the fun reading the junk I post here as had typing it, even if (especially if?) you don't see eye-to-eye with me politically. If any of it annoyed you I hope that deep down, were also a tiny bit amused.

This being a semidecicentennial and all, it seemed like an occasion for a retrospective of some sort. Like on "Happy Days" when the cast would sit around and say "remember the time that Potsie dressed up like a cheerleader and ended up heavy petting with Fonz at the submarine races?" and then the screen would go wiggly and the rest of the episode was filler from older programs. That's basically what's below the fold here: annotated wiggly flashbacks to the 25 Iowahawk episodes over the past five years that I think generated the most positive reaction from readers. Or, at least, the stuff you told me stunk less than normal.

Yes, I know that "Happy Days" eventually had so many flashback retrospective episodes that they started having meta-retro-retro-flashback-on-previous-flashback episodes. My promise to you: this is the last maudlin narcissistic flashbacking you'll see here for the next five years, or 60,000 miles. And, as is my blogiversary tradition, I am temporarily opening the comments for your suggestions, insults, knock knock jokes, Vi*gra spam, etc. Have at it!
