Crawling Towards the Finish Line

I believe my stint here at Shot in the Dark is almost finished.

[Wavy lines blur the picture, indicating a transition to a flashback.]

...this is pretty much it until Thursday.

[More wavy lines. Back to the present.]

Yep, this is it for me.

[Deafening noise as everybody sighs in relief together.]

Time to go down the checklist and see if I accomplished everything I set out to do this week here at Shot in the Dark:

* Gratuitous swipe at "The Blog House"...........Check.

* Gratuitous swipe at Hugh Hewitt.............Check.

* Gratuitous swipe at a local lefty blog............Check.

* Gratuitous swipe at Power Line..............Check.

* Make Shot in the Dark #1 for google search of "Iron Maiden saved western civilization"...................Check.

* Get linked by Polinaut, Captain Ed and Pajamas Media............Check. Check. Check.

(By way of comparison, in nearly two years of blogging at my other site, I've been linked to by Polinaut zero times, PM zero times, and Cpt. Ed twice. And one of those times was for merely participating in a charity poker tournament.)

* Gratuitously pimp my own blog............Check (and see above).

While this looks like an impressive list of accomplishments, there were a couple of things I was unable to do:

* Find Mitch's hidden cache of sarin gas.

* Liveblog Mitch's radio show on Saturday. (Think of it: I'd be liveblogging what Mitch was saying on the air. Mitch would have inevitably seen the liveblog and made some comment about it over the air, which would then have ended up reproduced in the liveblog ON HIS OWN SITE. Far out! The whole thing could have sucked us into some sort of trippy, mind-bending audio/blogular Mobius strip. It would have been sweet.)

In any event, I proclaim my guest run at Shot in the Dark a rousing success. Now it's my turn for a vacation. Big thanks to Bogus Doug for keeping the home fires burning, and to the Nihilist in Golf Pants for - er, I dunno - writing a post about Screech.

Oh, and one more thing:

Bruce Springsteen is irredeemably boring.

Later.
