What's in a Label?

Over the six-plus years of its existence this blog has accumulated quite the, well, accumulation of labels. You know, those little words and/or phrases at the bottom of most posts, used on more respectable blogs to help classify posts; here they serve that purpose largely by accident, provided they don't get in the way of a good/cheap laugh.

While preparing my most recent post I went hunting through the label bin and was both struck and amused by the assortment I found. Coincidentally I also wanted to atone for the lack of posting over the last month or so, so starting tomorrow you will be treated -- yes, treated -- to a two-part series consisting of an alphabetized list of post labels.

You. Are. Welcome.

Mmmmm, Meta

Sorry I haven't posted, but I hope to make up for that by adding Sorry I Haven't Posted to my section of the blogroll.

I learned about the site's "editor/collector" via this New Yorker article. One more thing to add to the list of fine products of Buffalo, from chicken wings (that website isn't nearly busy enough) to (educationally) EMM.
