Hey-o, this marks my 500th entry on Goulash! Let's say I spend 25 minutes and write 300 words for each entry; that totals out to 12,500 minutes (a little over 200 hours) and 150,000 words I've spent on this site. Boy, I don't find those numbers depressing in the slightest!
It's been a wild ride, though. I remember when we first started. You, still in training pants, and me, learning the hard way not to eat shaving cream. We've come a long way since, now that you've given up on bladder control entirely and I've moved to my gravy-only diet. Good times, good times: lots of words, plenty of readers, and tons more yarns, aching to be let free in this space. Go me, go you, go Goulash!
We continue our march towards 1000 on Sunday.
Posted by Cody at August 18, 2005 7:22 PMFirst off, I'm the first comment on post 500.
Second, apparently my code-name changed to just Diddy. I will not abide.
Third, my dad, Boj and myself will be taking a little trip to Atlanta tomorrow and catching a night game at Turner Field. The Braves just so happened to catch the Padres. I know what you are thinking, Ranger fans: "The Ho plays for San Diego." Yes, he does. And not only does he play for them, he is your starting pitcher tomorrow night. So, I'd advise everyone with cable to turn it to TBS and try to catch the first inning and a third, since that is the longest the Ho has ever pitched into a game. I will be the Arlington resident holding up the sign that reads: "A trade and 800 miles will never put an end to the torture."

I found out about the Cobra Tequila at El Carmen. It's in fact Vietnamese Rice Wine, aged and potent, like a super strong sake. When the cobra drowns in it, it emits small traces of venom, and when aged, combined with the sake, it turns into a hallucinagen. So, it's illegal for El Carmen to sell it, in fact its an insurance liability for them to even have it and they have to pay extra premiums. They have two big bottles of it though.

We'll drink the whole thing and then wander around Beverly Hills hallucinating from the cobra venom. We may end up stealing a fire truck or giving Paris Hilton a concussion. Either way, we definitely won't create any memories.
