Yeah, it's our birthday! Today marks the one-year anniversary of The Big Picture and after 365 days of pure and utter crap, we're still going strong. (It's also Pearl Harbor Day. We find the coincidence sorta odd).
This site started as a way to keep our writing fresh in between columns at the UW paper, but has evolved into something that is far beyond just a hobby. Starting with about two and half readers, TBP has evolved in to a daily stop for a nice chunk of sports fans.
We're still writing and updating daily thanks to all of you. Your emails, comments, links, etc. are our motivation to keep doing this. While blogging has helped us pick up chicks (we tell them we own a website -- hey, it's true ya know), we're not exactly getting compensated for our time. It's the readers, commentors and funny ass stories in the world of sports that keep us going.
No presents necessary today, but if someone can arrange Jenn Sterger to jump out of that cake, that'd be pretty cool.
As we keep saying, if you like the site, that's awesome! We can't thank you enough.
If you don't like the site, well, that's cool and thanks for reading anyway, you fucking assholes. Love us or hate us, pass on this site to your friends, family, boss, the woman your boss is nailing on the side, her friends, your secratary, your legitimate (and illegitimate) children, and anyone you know who owns a computer.
Thanks again for everything, folks. And hey, it's a birthday party after all, so go have some cake and go pin the tail on the ass of that hot chick from Marketing!
Be sure to sign the birthday card.
(And a huge, giant high five to JMC, who threw us a big b-day bash in the post above!)
Zach! Happy brithday to the Big Picture. I've been following for awhile and it's a stop for me everyday.
ReplyDeleteDear writers of the Big Picture:
ReplyDeleteI have read your blog since its inception, and am pleased to see that it is your blogs birthday, and wish you this. Go Crazy! Thank you so much for Bashing my son, Joe Buck. Where I am, I dont know. Everything I so blue. All we eat is Billy goats. I mean, I started out a Cubs broadcaster, but, I am a Cards man thru and thru. This must be Hell.
Well, Thank you for Giving my son what he so richly deserves.
Im surprised he didnt sell me down the rive during the series and put me in That stupidfucking Chevy series of commercials that he was pimping.
Your avid every day reader in Hell. (probably for bearing that bastard child)
