This is the first bloggy place I ever commented on. Ever. It was a heady thing, until I hit “submit comment” while simultaneously realizing that what I had written was really stupid. Thankfully, it was ignored, like most of my comments are. Ah, sweet mediocrity.

Late as always, but still wishing you the very best in the coming years. IMAO absolutely MUST continue, twitter or not. Since hippies keep breeding and the dark side persists, you will nevah evah run out of foddah. Happy blogiversary!!! The moon is always at the ready…

Man, I still remember my first deep-dive in the In My World archive. So damn funny stuff… and then the book came out, and some guy I don’t even know paid it for me (including trans-national shipping). Because random Americans are still awesome.

All hail the True Blog Overlord!

I’ve been here for about six of those years, and it’s been great fun! I came too late for the puppy-blender piece, but I’ve had great fun every day since I first came. A few highlights:

- W in Curious George pajamas
- W appreciating pudding-cup time
- the Rumsfeld Strangler
- LOLTERIZT
- John Edwards Fabulous Facts
- ronin profiles

This is a fun place, and it’s not just the folks who post. The commenters are genuinely funny, and they’re nice! There are a few blogs that I no longer visit, even though the folks who run them are pretty good, because the commenters are such assholes. A big western thank you to Frank, Harvey, Basil, Sarah, and the rest of the IMAO gang, and also to my fellow commenters. You guys and gals are the best.

What would I do without IMAO?
My job, I guess.

Congrats on 7 years, Frank!

I accidently found this site when I googled IMAO ‘cuz I didn’t know blog acronyms. Lurked for about a year; felt like therapy, and family reunion conversation rolled into one.>>> Frank J. off to Bible study; good one Frank, maranatha.

Wow, 7 years is impressive in the blog world. Congrats to “all” the “different” ~~personalities~~ bloggers for making such a fun place that I enjoy visiting multiple times daily (often when I should be working, or at least “on break”). I’ve only been here…a year or two?…but it seems longer…in the good way. For the life of me I cannot remember where I got here from or how I found you, but I’m glad I did. With laughter being the best medicine and a daily requirement for myownself, you guys truly are/will be responsible for keeping me sane over the next 3.5 years of tribulation.

IMAO will also always be special to me because it’s where I first learned about Sarah Palin, The Fred, and that Michelle Bauchmann (sp?) gal in the Senate (?) that certainly looks promising.

Raising my glass of ice water to toast your awesomeness. Clink!

As a special present, I am now following you on Twitter, Frank J.

I don’t actually use twitter, but you seemed like you really wanted it.

I remember when I first read IMAO. It was back in late 1989, and I fired up my Commodore 64 and dialed up my new AOL account. Suddenly I surfed onto a website called IMAO. The first post I read debated who would win in a gang fight between Milli Vanilli and The New Kids On The Block. There wasn’t as much politics discussed then, as we had just come off eight years of Ronald Reagan and the first Bush hadn’t yet begun to screw things up yet. Frank J was not yet married, and many of his posts displayed his obsession with Sally Field, so he spent a lot of time trying to convince people that Steel Magnolias was what he called “one of the most important motion pictures of all time.” I would have responded to one of the posts, but he kept threatening to “shun” anyone who didn’t agree that Sally Field was “like totally awesome.”

Harvey made mention of some upstart actor he’d just seen on an episode of Roseanne, named Fred Thompson, that he predicted would have a promising future. Basil had seen a singer named KD Lang on Saturday Night Live, and commented that “he seemed pretty cool.”

Boy, it’s hard to believe that was seven long years ago. Wow.

I’ve been reading since about late 2003, and keep coming back. I quit commenting because I always seemed to go back to how much oil we’ve got up here in Alberta (hint – more than Saudi Arabia). Anyways, congrats on the seven years, and hopefully your Canadian Invasion plans won’t take another seven to complete!
