Hello bitchez! Do you know what today is? It is the tenth anniversary of your Wonkette. (Actually, tomorrow is the tenth anniversary of your Wonkette, but tomorrow is Saturday and you will be drunk.) We know this because we tweeted at Ana Marie Cox and asked her "oh hey, do you happen to know when the tenth anniversary of Wonkette is?" and she told us. And you say we're not real journalists.
10 years!? What the hell, how did this happen so fast? I blame the little children who are always wishing for it to be Christmas soon and then Summertime soon and then their birthdays soon. Fuckers keep using their magic hopey powers for speeding up time instead of keeping Tinkerbell alive, or preventing The Gypsies from taking them away in sacks. With their facebook snapchats and dubstep machines anymore KIDS THESE DAYS can't be tricked into believing bullshit tales. Plus they like George W. Bush, for some fucking reason. FUCK!
I've only been attending class here since 2008. I had been following The Mudflats, because (duh) Babble Spice, and because I once spent a year in Alaska. A commenter who went by "austintx" over there would occasionally post a link to a Wonket article or comment. (If that was one of youse guys, thanks).
The 'Flats is still a good blog, but went back to being mostly AK-centric (which it was pre-Palin). Also, Jeanne puts a lot of effort into keeping it civil, but that leads to it being a bit inappropriate for snark and dick jokes. So I found myself spending more time here.
I was one of the members of the Great You're-Not-The-Boss-Of-Me Commenter Kerfuffle. In fact, I may have been the first to voluntarily nuke my account (I may also have been* pretty drunk at the time, given that I didn't actually object to any of the Rules). I confessed this to Editrix at the SF Drinky Thing. I don't recall her reply exactly, but it had something to do with "fucking whiners", so I knew I had done the right thing to start a new account.
Since, IRL, I live among retirees and pink-necks, this vile little snark mob means quite a bit to me. Thanks for having us, Becca.
Truck Nutz as a thing we mock on here or as an actual thing people still put on their trucks? I saw a truck in High Point the other day with a pair, but its definitely not as common as it was a couple years ago.
I tried that business model of setting dignity aside and asking people for money. It did not work out well. The officers threw away my cardboard sign, called animal control to pick up my dog, and court-ordered me into detox.
In 10 more years, though, I think I can make this work.
Ah, the bitter bitter tears of stress. Alcohol feels good. Yelling at other adults feels good. Then menopause will kick in and you will learn that you learned nothing.
<blockquote>And set something out as a quote</blockquote> by using blockquote instead of i.
OK, I&#039;ve been coyly hinting about this in some of my recent comments during Homecoming Week here, but now I want to declare emphatically that
<strong> This Wonkette Is The Best Politics Blog Evar. </strong>
(Suck it, Politico.)
I LOVES ME SOME WONKET!

Uh, what were we talking about again?
Pete&#039;s headline was funnier?
The Trix era here has been a antidote to thinking too much.
Incidentally, you can also do <b>bold</b> by substituting b for i.

A can of Hobo Beans!
Your mom sent you a thing.

Any chance of webcasts? By which I mean drinking parties gone wild.
Any chance of hearing from Sara K. Smith or Jim Newell? And of course the fellow with the top hat!

Happy 10 Years!
