Happy Birthday!
(Category: Bestofme Symphony )

My fourth child turned a year old today. Of course the babe was adopted months ago but I'm still mighty happy to see the little bugger his the first anniversary mark.

Go visit adopting daddy Gary Cruse and see what the Bestofme Symphony looks like on its first birthday.

Bestofme Symphony, 27th Edition Demi-Anniversarial Memespectaculation!
(Category: Bestofme Symphony )

The Bestofme Symphony is a half year old now. Imagine that! This little meme has made it to its 27th edition, been hosted by a score of blogs and continues chugging along under its own power. The only thing it hasn't had yet is an Instalanche, but we'll keep hoping... (Hello? Mr.Reynolds, sir? Over here!)

[update] I mistakenly dropped Simon's submission. I'm adding it now but since it's Thursday most folks have probably already read this and we'll have it in next week's edition too. Simon's entry was 2004 Annual Family Report. It's an "annual report" with a difference - this one is about important things. [/update]

Today's reading begins with Zero Intelligence and an article called Pink - The color of the beast. It seem that schools have been having a problem with the color pink. It's a little Queer Eye for the Gangbanger Guy.

The Smarter Cop gives us Followed to a "T". Pietro doesn't know why John F*** Kerry's making such a big deal of President Bush's Iraq policy. After all, based on Kerry's editorialized suggestions for Iraq in 2002, the President easily gets 100%.

Andrew from Dodgeblogium asks if there is Hope for British music? This is the post (but one) that started the whole band thing going. G.o.D. may not be where they want to be just yet, but they sure have come a long bloody way, that is for sure.

The Owners Manual arrives with White Talking. Bill Cosby said it better (well, that's arguable) but Gary said it before he did.

Bestofme Symphony, 3rd performance
(Category: Bestofme Symphony )

The third performance of the Bestofme Symphony has an astounding 19 participants and 21 submissions. Why is that astounding (since the previous Symphony had 27 participants)? Because not only is this the holiday week but I did no agressive recruitment. For the innaugural performance I hit up the people on my blogroll. Last week I emailed people who had participated in the Carnival of the Vanities. This week I did nothing but post reminders on my own site and send email to the people on my reminder list. I believe that in only its 3rd week, the Bestofme Symphony has gathered enough momentum to keep itself flying (with your continued support, of course)!

The Bestofme Symphony, 1st edition
(Category: Bestofme Symphony )

Welcome to the premiere performance of the Bestofme Symphony. Participation has been fantastic with 28 entries in this first edition. Like any good symphony, you'll find a lot of individual sounds that have been coalesced into one. I'm very happy to be offering some of the best stuff in the Blogosphere for your reading pleasure.

Comments on presentation and content, future Symphonies, etceteras are appreciated. If bloggers out there would link to this it would help enormously to get this meme launched in grand style and I'd be eternally grateful. Well, maybe not eternally, but at least until something really important pushed it out of the swiss cheese I like to call a brain.

Without further ado, the Symphony begins:
