The post that launched a million words: West Virginia Kossacks.

It was 3 years ago today,
Carnacki taught the band to play...

And, what a long strange trip it's been.

Happy Birthday West Virginia Blue | 13 comments

Thanks for building us a home! (4.00 / 4)

I'm proud of my single-digit UID. I'm thrilled to have a place to call my own when I need to rant about some of the idiocies in our lovely state. I'm relieved to have a circle of (e-)friends when I need a boost for my spirits.

So thank you to you all - even stevewvu - for making this a real community. May we celebrate many, many more birthdays together!

Thank you. We'll have to drink to celebrate soon.

Even the PNAC PastyBoy showed up for the celebration! (2.00 / 2)

Must be one of stevedubya's old pals.

But it looks like steve's already nabbed more than his fair share of cake even before the candles were lit. Ol' pal, you'd better gulp down a tall jar of that Prenter Punch, before you choke on that Niger yellowcake!

Do you think Don Blankenship will raise a glass of his poisoned well water in a toast? ;) Thanks, man. May we have many more years to mark the anniversary of our site.

Thanks to everyone on wvablue (4.00 / 3)

I've enjoyed the discussion and learning for the past 3 years.
Carnacki and Clem - thanks for being the catalysts for so much progressive change in WV. We've got a long road ahead, but we can get there. You guys have inspired me more often than you know.

This one goes out to Carnacki, Clem, and all my wvablue friends:

I Am Carnacki.

What would we do without the Blue....WVABLUE that is (4.00 / 3)

This blog has gone a long way to bring out the progressive issues of our mountain state, without which we all wouldn't be as knowledgeable about the inner workings of the varied communities that exist all across Appalachia. So many conclusions have been crystalized on this site about the powers that be, so many myths have been debunked, so many rumors disspelled or confirmed, what would we do without you WVABLUE?
