Time Flies By...

...When we're having fun. Surprisingly, it also flies by on this blog. Wednesday, the 20th of January will be the fifth birthday of The Dictionary of Unfortunate Ideas.

I know I've promised this before, but changes are coming:

• A new layout*, which we hope will be easier to read, more entertaining, and one that our lawyers will approve of. (You have no idea how hard they can hit you with those alligator skinned briefcases.)
• Comments! Yes, that's what I wrote: comments. You people seldom mail us, so we're making it easier to participate. There will be a few rules of course, for courtesy's sake (see: lawyers above), but we want you to get your funny on with us. (Don't get too excited; that's a reference to your comedic "funny.")
• Personality disorders! Waitaminute, we've already got those in spades.

Who knows, maybe there will be even more surprises in the near future.

And of course, we'll have the Best of 2010, and a few other reminiscences from the last five years.

Stay tuned!

*It helps ratchet up the excitement if you say this in the same voice as the presenter on The Price Is Right.
