Today is a big day here in Fug Nation. Today is our birthday, and this little blog is five years old. If it were a person, it would be in kindergarten and probably wearing a dress over pants right now, the better to hang upside down on the monkey bars without any stupid boys seeing its underwear. We started GFY as a joke between friends, as some of you might know, and it's hard to believe how many new friends it has brought us, if you'll forgive the mushiness of that particular sentiment. We are very lucky indeed to be here today, and we know that we owe it all to our tremendously awesome readers. Thank you all so much for hanging out with us for the last five years -- a time during which some of you slogged through high school or college in its entirety, some of you graduated, some had babies, got married, or changed jobs (maybe more than once), some of you finally grew a satisfactory mustache, some of you got over that asshat who broke your heart, and some of you fell in love again (maybe more than once), all of the Americans in the crew lived through an entire presidential administration and started a new one, a lot of you watched a couple of Olympics, and all of you -- hopefully -- spent little bit of time procrastinating around these parts. And for that we thank you. And we'll be back to business as usual tomorrow. But as our gift to you, we leave you with some video clips of defining moments in our collective consciousness. BEHOLD.
1) Kimberly Rips Off Her Wig:
2) Sammy Jo Gets Into a Catfight With Stupid Amanda, Claudia Blaisdel HILARIOUSLY Sets The Hotel On Fire With Her Hate Candles And Exhibits Poor Reflexes, and Blake AWESOMELY Tries to Choke Out Alexis (I'm so sure):
3) Kelly Taylor Chooses Herself In The World's Most UNSATISFACTORY Ending To a Love Triangle:
4) This Ballet Is Impossible Unless Cooper Nielson Can Also Bend The Rules of Time and Space to Allow His Prima Ballerina To Get A TOTALLY NEW HAIRSTYLE Right In the Middle of It:
5) A Dog Eats Dan Scott's Heart; Chad Michael Murray Says A Thousand Words With Just One Squint:
6) Dawson Leery Cries As Joey Leaves Him For Pacey; America Laughs, High-Fives
... That's a pretty great sampling of the pop-culture moments we hold dear, and which we've probably referenced ad nauseum the past five years and will again in all the years to come. Thanks for riding it out with us, everyone! And please, stick around.
With love,
The Fug Girls
