1 Happy St

Sometimes when I'm with my friends in a group setting, this blog will get mentioned in conversation. Somebody will say something like "oh, you've never been to his blog?" Then the other person will say "no". Then the first person will say "yeah it's pretty gay, but I check it out sometimes."

And that will be the end of it.

Other times, somebody will come up to me and say something like "Dude, I hadn't been to your blog in like 2 weeks, but I just spent the last 30 minutes catching up on all of it. I loved your joke about Elian Gonzalez." Then I'll say "yeah, thanks. Wait, what joke about Elian Gonzalez?" And he'll be all "hmm, maybe that wasn't your blog. I caught up on a lot of reading this morning."

And that will be the end of it.

But on Saturday, I had a first. I was at lunch with a handful of friends and we were well on our way to that first conversation up there. But watch how it turned out:

Guy 1: "You've never been to his blog? It's pretty gay, but I check it out sometimes."
Guy 2: "What's it called?"
Guy 1: "Number 1 Happy Street"
Guy 2: "Ha....What the frig is the address here?"
Me: "Wait a second. You get it?"
Guy 2: "Yeah, My Blue Heaven. Awesome movie."

I think I'm in love with Guy 2.

Do you like our new look?

No? Well screw you, this site is free. What do you expect?

Oh you said yes?

Well then, thank you very much. I mean we try to give the people (all 3 of them) what they want.

Oh you really did say no?

Well screw you, this site is still free.

Oh you were just kidding?

Well never mind then. I take back that 'screw you' I just said.

Oh you were just kidding about just kidding?

Well how about I take this rubber hose and.......

No seriously, do you like the new look?

You don't? Well [bleep] you, you [bleepin']...........

I'm just kidding, I still love you.

So what do you think? You like our new look?

Today marks the 2nd birthday of 1HappySt. We have been dreading this day for some time because we all know what the terrible 2's bring, and 1HappySt has been showing signs of mischief since birth. So all we ask is that if you see 1HappySt in a supermarket throwing a temper tantrum, please don't stare or make any rude comments. That doesn't help anybody. We're sure that in a year or two, this will all pass and 1HappySt will be in pre-school or something and a school counselor will recommend it be put on ritalin and then everything will be okay. Until then, how about a Random Brian-style?

- What would we say instead of "he'd be turning over in his grave if he saw this" if the guy we're talking about was cremated?

[Editor's Note: I'm not sure who that little girl is, but that picture came up when I typed in "2nd birthday" into flickr. And she made me laugh so in she goes. Her name is Katie.]

I hope everyone likes the new layout. It's really a work in progress but hopefully, we'll get all the kinks worked out over the weekend. If you have any suggestions or comments, feel free to email us.

Among some of the new features you'll notice are the expandable archive list in the right column along with some new widgets available from our host service, Blogger. The poll to the left is one example of what's to come.

It's been confirmed. Click here for details. Brian encourages jokes at his own expense for being so wrong about our Joe. 1HappySt wishes them happiness.

Word has it that 1HappySt's resident whipping boy has proposed to Gina Glocksen and she said yes. This is not official, just a rumor. Details to follow as soon as we can find them.

Welcome to all the readers that have linked here from The Corner. We hope you will take some time to look around. We tend not to get too political here at 1 Happy St. but there's something here for everyone. Okay, well maybe not everyone. In the words of Vincent Antonelli, the patron saint of 1 Happy St, "Everyone thinks they have a sense of humor, but then they don't all."

We here at 1 Happy St. were trying to think of ways to reach a larger spectrum of people including people like convicts, she-males, sportos, motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, waistoids, dweebs, dickheads... and we could think of no better place to reach all of those people than MySpace.

This is the 200th post at 1 Happy St.
To celebrate, I give you Territory War. Enjoy.
