Happy 1013, Aviary! Ironic after that Last Post, Right?

You may be wondering why I chose to celebrate Post #1013 and not #1000! Well, it's certainly not because I didn't notice until today that I passed up that thousandth and just kept posting anyway! Certainly not! It's not that reason, certainly!

I guess the biggest question is how bloggers celebrate 10001013 posts. I figure the best way to celebrate is always like famous people, which is why I'll be in rehab a week before my 21st birthday... but, really, that's a different story for the tabloids. What have my idols been up to?

Stop the ACLU

Who the Hell: An anti-American Civil Liberties Union blog, which, when put that way, really does sound like it's evil, doesn't it?
Celebration for #1000: Ate own first born.

Daily Kos
URL: http://www.dailykos.com/
Who the Hell: One of terribly many liberal blogs. I chose this specific one with a roulette wheel.
Celebration for #1000: Ate first born of random rich man (picked by roulette wheel).

Dave Barry's Blog
URL: http://weblog.herald.com/column/davebarry/
Who the Hell: The blog of the formerly very busy, now very lazy, newspaper columnist/humorist where he posts all the crazy news everyone sends him.
Celebration for #1000: There was this man in Sydney, Australia who exploded a toilet with a squirrel in it. The squirrel escaped unharmed and stole the man's wallet.

Grand Text Auto
URL: http://www.grandtextauto.gatech.edu/
Who the Hell: This is a scholarly blog, applying scholarship and various types of critiques to New Media (the Internet, video games, etc.)
Celebration for #1000: Posted ten new Wikipedia articles to which they had added information about New Media. BUT ALL THE TEXT WAS FORMATTED OFF CENTER!!! THOSE PRANKSTERS!!!

LDS Blogs
URL: http://www.mormon-blogs.com/
Who the Hell: The Mormon sector of the Blogosphere and a webring... believe me, I was as surprised as you are. (Learn more about the Bloggernacle Choir!)
Celebration for #1000: Got together and sang. Their MIDI rendition of Star-Spangled Banner was stirring.

I Can Has Cheezburger?

Who the Hell: Almost good KittenWar as?
Celebration for #1000: Posted picture of kitten mewing, "1000 POSTS, BITCHES!"

Of course, I didn't have a 1000th post celebration! I'm having this one!

So why did I really choose this number, 1013? It does have a meaning, for your information, and perhaps some of you need a history lesson.

Ever heard of a little show called The X-Files? Did you know Mulder's apartment number was 1013? Did you know his birthday was 10/13? DID YOU KNOW HIS EYESIGHT WAS ALSO 10/13?!?! And remember, Ten Thirteen Productions was the production company for the show.

So thank you, Writer/Director/Producer Chris Carter. You officially made me into a nerd.

And thank you, Aviarians, for reading.
