The End of the 00s: It Begins To End!

by The End of the 00s

Oh hello! As a special treat for this holiday season, we’ve commissioned some thoughts (both deep and shallow) from writers (both near and far) to look back (in anger or otherwise) on the 00s. (Whew!) You may think that this was just a delightful public service on our part, but you’d be wrong. It actually means we’re going to schedule these fine and glorious contributions throughout the holidaze that follow for the benefit of us regular folks doing somewhat less typing for a few days! Daddy’s fingers are tired and crampy. Also we will not really get into this whole “BUT IT’S NOT REALLY THE END OF THE DECADE!” business from you people that are obsessed with the fact that there was no “Year 0,” which, FINE, OKAY, I understand that you don’t want to make Pope Gregory XIII mad, but I really don’t care? Which is weird. Usually I can get my panties in a bunch about nearly anything but this whole decade business isn’t crossing the threshold. In any event, now you are warned, and get excited!
