See that post down there, yeah, scroll down, that one — the one by Jess Greco announcing our new ‘Pitch Yourself’ program, that’s PRBC’s 100th post!  I know, it snuck up on us too.  (Anyone wishing to send gifts of spirits or other adult beverages, drop me  a note — we’ve got diverse tastes, whatever it is someone will like it).  In lieu of having a party for ourselves, we’re giving you, our wonderful readers, who we love to (hopefully) entertain, inform, and opine to on a weekdaily basis a gift — more of us!

Granted, we had a lot of good times together, especially after my AWFUL relationship with MySpace, and don’t even get me started on Friendster (man, he just tried way too hard).
