ReplyDeleteIchiro had a pretty good year, too.

By the way, would it be possible for you to put a little button at the bottom of your page that directs me to your previous entries? Something that says "previous entries," I'm seeing. Or is that not a blogger option?
ReplyDeleteGoing through your archive links is a pain in the Roberto Colon.

Out of curiosity, what was 2007 for Drew Carey? He's one person on your list I lost all track of.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year all!
Thanks Ken; I'll take Tina Fey and stick with that. Happy new year!
ReplyDeleteI'll just settle for not getting tased, bro.
ReplyDeleteWow. If only the NSA could keep tabs on that many people. Wait a minute, they do. Best to you and your family too.
ReplyDeleteBut since you broached the subject the day before yesterday's clusterpost, can we talk?
I have nothing against those Rose Parade horses that insist on walking sideways. I’m just wondering it you know why? I have a horse, and I still don’t see the attraction of that particular gait. The only reason I can think of for a horse to walk sideways is to keep from stepping in the droppings from the horse in front. Hey, maybe that’s it? Nevermind. Happy New Year.
Great list.
ReplyDeleteTwo questions:
1. How long did it take you to write?
2. If not from memory, how?
Bynum?
ReplyDeleteI'm sure the early part of the summer wasn't fun.
Google hit whore!
ReplyDeleteIt took about a half hour to write, using a little help from the internet. But much of the list is from memory. I just thought: "Who do I envy?" and it all came spilling out.
ReplyDeleteDrew Carey was listed because he got Bob Barker's very plum job hosting THE PRICE IS RIGHT.
This is definitely the best new years wish that I have read in all the blogosphere.
ReplyDeleteLove and my very best wishes from Mexico

Happy New Year and let's hope those moguls come to their senses soon!
ReplyDeleteAnd let's not forget Phillip Seymour Hoffman.
ReplyDeleteAnd Anderson Cooper.
Bitter animator - Drew Carey is the new host of The Price is Right.
ReplyDeleteAnd Ken, good work putting Scorsese first. As he should be.
is it Rosh Hashana already?
ReplyDeleteAnd a happy New Year with a great, new, and fair WGA contract for everyone!
ReplyDeleteAh, I didn't know about The Price Is Right. A sweet job indeed.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year all!
If Scorcese can win the Oscar for that lousy movie maybe I can win the lottery. I'm as undeserving as he was.
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for a year of great blogging. Looking forward to more in 2008.
