It kind of snuck up on us, like a pack of Desert Storm trading cards or a really quiet hippo. But here it is, folks: This is post No. 1,000 on this little experiment we like to call RandBall. Much like the conception of a child, we started this nonsense about nine months ago. The way we figure, that means we’ve posted, on average per weekday, about five times. We think the chart will show that’s pretty impressive. In any event, this seems like a good time to evaluate what we have going on here. So: We’re going to play a little game called just the We Wish We Hadn’t Said That/We’re Glad We Said That/We Wish We Would Have Said That, a short trip down RandBall memory lane. So catchy. And we’re also going to open up the floor to commenters to let us know what they’d like to see more/less of going forward. Just don’t say more nudity. It’s so obvious you don’t even have to mention it. Also, are there any posts/subjects/comments worthy of a RandBall Walk of Fame?

We Wish We Hadn’t Said That: “Dallas over Seattle. 24-21. Last-second field goal. Romomania starts anew.” Jan. 5, 2007, a prediction right before the famous Romo botched snap playoff game. Unbelievable. … Joe Mauer: .312, 17 HR, 86 RBI. Yeah, that was about right.

We’re Glad We Said That: That nugget about the Twins from 2.5 months ago. We had this team fairly pegged by mid-June, at least.

We Wish We Had Said That: This jacket is dry-clean only. Which means, it’s dirty. Love that Mitch Hedberg line.

So let’s hear from you: What do you like, dislike, want more of, want enshrined? What is your favorite post, comment, running topic, etc., of all-time? And who do you like for Commenter Of the Week?
