Blog: “Good morning.”
Me: “Bleh. cough”
Blog: “So, um, did you read Unbecoming Levity yet today?”
Me: “Ah, no. I got out of bed and stumbled over to the keyboard here. I don’t have a computer hidden in the bedroom so, no, I didn’t read Chuck’s blog yet.”
Me: [Surfs over to Chuck’s blog.]
Blog: [Looks dour]
Me: Oh, crap. [Checks the Aces Full archive archive for January. Scrolls down to January 13. Nada.]
Blog: You don’t love me anymore!
Me: Happy belated 4th anniversary?
Posted by James at March 16, 2006 8:03 AMTo be fair to myself, Jan 13 is one day after my wedding anniversary, and generally January is full of more important stuff.
Posted by: James at March 16, 2006 8:31 AMHappy Anniversary, Aces!

Posted by: Mike L. at March 16, 2006 8:39 AMHas it really been 4 years?
Yours is the only blog I read with any regularity. I enjoy how we all come together to discuss weighty subjects as well as silly items. I find I frequently mail items from the Friday Shotgun to other friends.
AFOL is a great space. Thanks for four great years!
While we're having a nostalgic moment, I have to confess I went back and read through many of the postings from the longest-running discussion, and really enjoyed myself all over again.
NOTE: I have purposely not mentioned the name of the post because I don't want you to get a whole new slew of postings on the subject.
Posted by: Patti M. at March 16, 2006 10:43 AMAlthough I'm a new reader ... it's a fantastic source for interesting news and commentary. You do a great job James! :)
Posted by: Keri at March 16, 2006 10:52 AMThanks, people. Maybe one of these days, I'll change the tagline. It's so old that most people probably don't get the joke anymore.
Posted by: James at March 16, 2006 10:57 AMI never got the joke in the first place. I liked "All your blogs are belong to us."
Posted by: Julie at March 16, 2006 11:07 AMThat tag line was a while ago, wasn't it?
The new tag line is a joke based on the Klez.E worm. It used to send you a virus attachment with a message something like this:
"This is a very nice game. This game is my first work. I hope you would enjoy it."
And if you opened the attachment it would infect your computer. The virus wasn't funny at all, but I thought the strangely off English message was.
You know me. I like language humor. Especially Engrish.
Posted by: James at March 16, 2006 11:22 AMI got the tag line, I just never got the blog title. I assume it has something to do with your interest in poker.
Posted by: Patti M. at March 16, 2006 11:30 AMHappy Anniversary to Aces. I, too, like coming here and chatting about whatever. Keep up the good work James!
Posted by: briwei at March 16, 2006 12:23 PMHope you're feeling better, James. Although my own blog is intermittent and frivolous, "Aces..." remains a fantastic inspiration. Happy Anniversary!
