2012: The Perfect Year
As long-time Scissorheads know, Mock, Paper, Scissors started as a craft-DIY blog, and it become a primal scream during the Chimpy McStagger reign of error. A snarky, primal scream, that is. The best part of this, of course, is that you, the internets band of incorrigible spitballers®, have joined in the screaming.
There is no doubt in my mind that the best, smartest, funniest, snarkiest people in the blogosphere comment here. And at the same time, there are no kinder, gentler people than the Scissorheads. We would give a hand to a leper, we’ve helped to feed the hungry, we’ve sent letters to the powerful to beg them to show mercy to the powerless. From Hurricane Sandy to the 2012 Goat Rodeo, the various gun massacres, and now as we slide down the Fiscal Bunny Slope (with apologies to those who will have a real, devastating impact now that the GOP has flung the last cinderblock onto the highway for the year and walked away from their mess again), we have used our voices well this year.
I’m constantly amazed and amused by your comments, the thoughtfulness of the discussion, and the wit displayed; the outraged indignation of good Scissorheads when the pandering and pontificating poltroons, fetus-fondlers, and god-botherers fling poo at us, it makes the time and attention it takes to keep the MPS machine running all worthwhile. It is an honor and a pleasure to have you spend some of your precious time here.
From the bottom of my toes to the tip of my nose, I want to thank every one of you by name — but I’m afraid I would leave someone out. Just know that I always liked you best.
As always, I leave you with what I think of as our song:
Regards,
Tengrain
Lovely – thanks!
Take a bow, Evil Twin, for hosting the best place on the internets every single day. I hope you have the best year ever (but since that would likely involve Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachman running for something together, or a threesome with them and Peggy Nooners, I may have to rethink this).
What nice things to say! You are so sweet, despite your evilness. I would never have mocked Peggington Noonington had it not been for you pointing her out to me. No, I must own my own evilness in the New Year. The sailor kissing the blonde on the ABC kissathon at midnight had major cold sores – well, it’s very cold out tonight.
K, you’re the best, and an inspiration to the rest of us to PAY ATTENTION and not take ANYTHING lying down.
Happy New Year, Brother. May 2012 bless you with riches of the heart.
Happy New Year, old chum! You are one of the “goodest” of the internet’s good guys. I think Alex Chilton wrote “The Ballad of El Goodo” about you.
In the blogosphere, you’re the guy to emulate. Thanks.
The thanks go back to you TG. MPS’ slice of snark is my #1 stop on the interweb. You made 2012 fun and I’m looking forward to an even funner 2013. Kudos to your support staff’s major contributions to the blog. Happy 2013 to all.
All of the above. Thanks for maintaining an outlet for us to pour it all out. You are one of the best stops on the digital highway.
(In a gravelly voice) You gotta nice place here. It’d be a shame if anything happened to it.
Woof!
¡Feliz año nuevo a todos!
Right back atcha TG.
