WDR's 2 Year Anniversary Blowout Craptacular

So the time has come once again to mark another milestone for this blog. Two years have passed since we started this project, and man have things changed. We've had some laughs, shed some tears, and wrote at least four posts that lied about our current situations. Joe has settled down with three of his baby's mamas down in the hole that is LA, and Zhuang-o now has a fancy degree that enables him to work at The Daily Bugle where he has to get pictures of that damn Spider-man. I have gone from unemployed sack of shit to a rising 2L sack of shit. I mean, that's evolution man.

So what do we have to show for our 2 years in Web 2.0? Well, we're about to get our 20,000th visitor, and if they're anything like 83% of our visitors, they're sure to visit one particularly shameful post looking for dirty, dirty pictures. If it's not that, then it's some foreign dude looking for nutrition tips from Ronnie Coleman. Jesus fucking Christ, that guy has some random following. Strangely enough, we haven't had another search for "Banana Bread Rape", but we have had many people come away disappointed because they were looking for video of "Can you speak up? I'm wearing a towel." Sorry, it was only a quote.

Even though our postings have become more and more infrequent (we've barely cracked double digits this year), we haven't made up for it with an increase of quality. That's just the WDR way. I'd like to especially blame Joe for this, who not only hasn't posted in forever, but set up a Google Reader that was promised to compensate for his lack of posts, but lookey-here, that shit was updated only once since November.

Nonetheless, we will continue to persevere. I recently had a look at our first post, our Manifesto, and I felt we've accomplished our mission. We initially were cautious, and said it was subject to change, but I think it sums up our blog perfectly. Here's to hoping we continue to live up to it.
