It's been an interesting few weeks here at
YM HQ, especially on the
whitebar: everyone on the
Tumblr was fired. I was finally
taken off probation. Other
Tumblrs were spawned. 99 more or less deleted everything he's ever posted on this here site (an
archive-cum-sidebar is currently in the works). There was a short-lived
Dadaist revolution. Tempers have flared.
Asses have been fisted. The family is broken up. We made
Page Six. We got penisy. And the word "pussy" was thrown around quite a bit.
Clearly, this month has been nothing short of
superlative. Thus, your monthly stat dose, as promised, over a week late. We'll affix the typical warning to this kind of thing:
I'm terrible at math and can't actually count past 14 reliably, so you're going to have to just go with it. Next time, if we remember, we'll plan for this kind of thing better. Onward.

†The YM Dramaspora ends when 99 and Dana have both posted to the either the Tumblr or blog again. I will meanwhile refuse to shut the fuck up about this until it happens.*As previously mentioned, 99 "unpublished" all of his posts, except for those which he had help on - that's five for this month. The count listed is the total count for the month pre-unpublishing, going on bylines.^For the sake of math, we're going to use one New York City square block: two east/west, two north/south. We know this isn't the exact size of the "four city blocks" needed for said party, but said point is illustrated: smoking astro-turf is far more difficult and expensive than you could possibly imagine, though it doesn't go without saying that we were willing to give it a shot.
