The year in review... but only the stuff that REALLY mattered

Samizdata Illuminatus (Arkham, Massachusetts) Antics & parties

(0)

I do not know about you but I just hate those 'year in review' things that clog up the TV and the internet at this time of year. And now for something completely different.

1 Jan 2004: The year started with a party
2 Jan 2004: many people with hangovers...
8 Feb 2004: Party at Samizdata.net HQ
29 Feb 2004: Capitalist Ball in Brussels
14 April 2004: A bunch of Aussie bloggers miss the target date by 14 days
23 April 2004: St. George's Day
19 July 2005: another inexplicable party to celebrate the arrival of an Irish Samizdatista
31 July 2004: Yet another party to celebrate Hot American Babes at Samizdata.net HQ
13 August 2004: Lonely and disconsolate, we have a party...
11 September 2004: Death to the Wahhabbis!
22 October 2004: Some Texan blogger misses out on some really good chili...
1 November 2004: Halloween
3 November 2004: Samizdata.net exclusive: Michael Moore gets a nice letter from Dubya
5 November 2004: Fond fantasies about blowing up Parliament
5 December 2004: Samizdata.net Christmas party

Oh, and some good and bad things happened in Iraq, some guy got elected in the US and some other stuff happened in some other places.

You forgot to mention that in late December Perry de Havilland threatened once again to emigrate (well, part-time) to New Hampshire. Thousands of Britons filled the streets of London, many weeping openly and entreating the Pope of Liberventionism not to desert them, but Perry was adamant. "You're finished if you accept ID cards," he declared. "There'll be more freedom in the New Iraq."

Asked what he would do if America followed suit, he replied "I've already paid $1,000,000 in Rands for an option on the first flight of the Starship Mayflower (captain: Dale Amon) to Mars, where there's a real chance of creating a minarchy."

Luniversal: and a Happy New Year to you, my darling.
