The Blog Turns One
Tuesday, September 29th, 2009 | Life Update
I never thought this day would come: My little blog celebrated a year in the life today. I’m so proud. In celebration of this important milestone I decided it was time for a new look, so out with the red, and in with the blue. Whose idea was red anyway? Pfft. Red hasn’t been fashionable since I wowed the girls in my preschool class with this sweater.
In addition to the new appearance I also opted for a new name, half because I was growing weary of Truthiness and half to spite all those blogspot bloggers who have to marry themselves to the titles of the blogs. A beautiful thing is spite.
Welcome to Tongue-in-Cheek, a place where I can say just about anything I want without fear of repercussions because, hey, it’s tongue-in-cheek.
Happy birthday, blog. Many happy returns.

“to spite all those blogspot bloggers who have to marry themselves to the titles of the blogs”.
Ya, you don’t seem to be big on marriage. :)

You should know that my entire apartment spent a good three minutes looking at your picture. You were such a cute lil’ baby!!!

Rachel, “were”?
Wow, the preschool girls must have gotten into fights over you! It used to be sweaters aye? Not cardigans yet? :)

I thought we agreed on the name, “south of campus”?

TVA, I think you agreed on the name “south of campus”

Rob, you were one good looking little kid. Who would have guessed? What happened to that innocent smile?

Rachel- Who do you mean by “your whole apartment?” I have been at work, did we get a dog or do you have multiple personalities now?

I suggest a new color scheme to be changed monthly: burnt orange for October, brown for November, green for December, blue for January, red for February, shamrock for March, pastel for April, pink (in honor of the Giro D’Italia) for May, something for June, yellow (need I explain) for July, etc……

TVA – “South of Campus,” really? That’s about as likable as “Kingston Fossil Plant.”
Rachel’s Husband – Did you know that there are at least, but no less than, two Rachel’s in this world who read this blog? *Cue dramatic music*

I have been hired by the Tennessee Valley authority to represent it in all legal matters. According to the official bylaws of this blog, the accusations you have hurled against TVA constitute slander, defamation, fraud, treason and operating without a license. The TVA demands an immediate apology or else it we have no other recourse but to engage in legal chicanery.

So Hill, I am what you might call the “unofficial” representative of Rachel’s husband, capice? You know that the phrase ” at least” and “no less than two” are essentially equivalent. Now, we can all be friendly here, we all like lasagna, are scared of out mothers, and owe money to our cousins’ Sully. So just because my buddy, Rachel’s hubby is a little slow to catch on, doesn’t mean we have to put him down. The man’s got feelings. Arrivederci.
Many happy returns.

Stottlemeyre… do you know about your client’s previous “legal chicanery” against the plaintiff? You should rethink your strategy before wasting our time again. Unless you’re only in it for the money.

Mr. DiMangini, “at least” and “no less than two” are most definitely not “essentially equivalent.”
“At least” means there is a possibility of three, four, five, etc. Rachels reading this blog.
“No less than two” means there cannot be zero or one Rachel reading this blog.
People cannot make rash assumptions and judgments and think they can get away with it scot-free. People die when they don’t think.
Mr. DiMangini, it is very clear that you don’t have a law degree. Maybe you should limit your “representative” business to something of a less vital nature, like dog food or the Snuggie.
Guess what Rob? I’m pretty sure that nice red sweater used to be mine…then Steve’s…then yours. There is no doubt that it looked best on me, but I no longer hold the rights to any pictures of me in it!

Slander! Libel! I know for a fact, Mr. Dave Martin (if that is your real name), that said sweater was gifted to me by our cousin for Christmas. Your memory fails you, sir.
Get real everyone, deceased supreme court justices strike fear into the hearts of no men! Now, to more pressing matters: if the magic talisman is not delivered to me by midnight I have no choice but to activate the Doomsday Device!

You have weird friends.
Oh, and the photo must have been taken before I accidentally shaved you bald. Who knew I was supposed to put an extension on the hair clippers…?

Rob!!! Thanks for your comment!!! It was awesome!!! P.S. You’re mocking my comments when you get comments like these?!?!?
Remember me? I’m Jeff Brown’s neice, Katie. I think we were in charge of taking gifts from people at their wedding…anyway…Your blog is pretty funny! It’s a great read. Also, I have a friend I am going to set you up with. I gave her your blog address to get a sneak peak first, ya know, a girl’s got to have the upper hand.
Let me know if you’re up for a blind date and I’ll get it all set up!
