I hope that this year we're able to bring you even more wacky tacky adventures. It's a big place, and we've only just begun to explore all the wacky tacky that this wide world has to offer. Until then, please help us celebrate our first Blog-O-Versary with these anniversary songs.

"Anniversary Waltz"
I Love Lucy - "Hollywood Anniversary"

And with you, you wacky tacky turkey necks, may I always dance the anniversary waltz!
