Happy Birthday To Us
Somewhere around this time last year, a stupid idea became a reality, and a really difficult-to-publicize name was attached to a heavily biased blog about Chicago sports. Since we've spent the last year giving you our side of the story, here's a little trip down memory lane.
- Remember where it all started?
- Remember Brad, The TPC, and Bloomerang back when they contributed to the site (and before our Cubs coverage was entirely one-sided)?
- That time we tried to quit abruptly.
- Our various experiments in boredom: Fun with sign generators, and other randomness.
- That time we won an award for best logo (link is apparently busted).
- When Fisting Andrew Golota joined the crew.
- The clusterfuck "Free Shit Month."
- Our logo contest.
- Our first piece of breaking news, and our first article to be linked to by Deadspin.
- The first revelation of Aaron Gray's true identity.
- The still uncompleted mission.
- Former site mainstays "GMOTD" and "WTTHT"
It's been a hell of a year, and hopefully the next year is even better. We really appreciate all of our loyal readers - all two of you. If you've been sticking around and reading us regularly, you've probably developed a tumor in your brain. We're sorry.
As an added bonus on our anniversary, anyone who comments on this post gets a chance to win a free shirt. I'll pick one of the comments at random and send a shirt out, and because I'm a nice guy, you can get your pick of the logo.
Long live the Dong.

Screw the t-shirt, I want the Chuck Norris cake! I bet a kryptonite knife wouldn't even cut through those pecks.
If Chuck Norris' face is on your cake, your birthday had better be happy.....or else!
If "stalking" wins, can I have his shirt?
congrats on one year
Well that's one way to get some comments on here finally. Shit, I'll leave one too -- I could use a new Dong shirt, I think I donated the last one to good will.
Hey, now. I comment on here from time to time. In fact, I think I was the last one to leave a comment before this post.
How could you ignore the possibility to win things? It's so...alluring!
Well, Gepetto commented on his own post, so I guess we know who's getting the shirt. By the way, Chicago Bull celebrated their first birthday recently, put up a few more posts over the next few weeks, then seemingly fell off the face of the internet. Please don't become the next Chicago Bull. (blog, not player)
Psh - I don't count. I already have two shirts.
Yeah, I was wondering what happened to CB...RIP Noc and Doc C
Wait, you guys cover the Cubs?
This is such a great blog!!!!!
