And also you.
And you. You too.
Yup, it celebrates the blogging community and the World Wide Web (some call it Web 2.0) and all its creative and collective and collaborative (and alliterative) and communal chaos and connectiveness.
Yay us. Yay me.
I admit to being conflicted over this. I carefully pored over Time's announcement and did not see one mention of The Laughorist. At all.
And, to be honest, the essay praising us did not mention you either.
Or you either.
No mention of The Wonderful World of Nothing Worthwhile, Meloncutter Musings, or These Are Me Thinks, or the Not-So News, or The Pole Affair, or To Love, Honor, and Dismay, or Odat's Mumblings, or The Bestest Blog, or Ron Bramlett, or I'm Sorry World, or Flip This Body , or Dafathsdays, or Sheila's Thoughts of the Day, or Natalie, or HeartsinSanFrancisco, or JR'sThumbprints -- all right already. You get the picture. (The Shangri-Las: "Yes, we see.")
Alas, no specific citation of A Chuisle Mo Chroi, or Eat Your Young, or Dating Profile of the Day, or LaughMoreLoveMoreFearNot, or Monicker either.
What about the reliably and humorously observant Mist1? Not a word.
O Time! O tempora, o mores!
Hey, this is getting to read like the Litany of Saints, Sinners, and Everything-in-Between. Does anyone know what a litany literally is anymore? asks the ex-seminarian.
But as I said from my very first post, this is all about solipsism, so how can I claim to be disappointed?
Carry on.
As you were.
Who will the Person of the Year be in 2007?
You? Or you? You? Me?
The Cornflake King? [welcome back, and say hello to Crunchy Durden!]
Just me, The Laughorist?
Laugh. Or....
Else.

2007 will more than likely be the "next incoming President of the USA" - not that I have any idea whom that will be.
hooray us!!!
I have to wonder if every person with a blog, web page, myspace account or other form of internet communication, emailed Time Magazine and requested an HTML banner we can put on our pages, if we would get one? I got one for Bestest Blog of The Day! I Should get one for being Person of the Year from time.
Dammit, We are getting screwed here. We need to demand what is rightfully ours.
I think I will call my Congresswoman and start bitching right now!
Later Y'all....
Ain't it just grand????

I wrote a post on this topic, too. I thought yours was tres clever. But I was actually honored to have blogging recognized as a legitimate form of communication. It gets a bad rap, and most of my flesh friends won't read my blog. And honestly, it's pretty good stuff. So, I say, bring on the awards!
Darling... I became lost at solipsism. All the best! ~M
I had no idea I was famous. Or you. Or You, either.
Well, damn. And damn. And also damn.
I'll just be happy to be A Person in the year 2007. I grew up thinking that 1984 would be definitive, as Orwell promised, so it still takes an adjustment to assimilate the fact that we're so far beyond it now. In years, that is, not necessarily in details.
I hope it's a wonderful year for you, and all of us.
I have cancelled my subscription.
