WE'RE NO DISNEY/PIXAR, BUT IT'S BEEN VASTLY MORE SUCCESSFUL THAN QUAKER OATS/SNAPPLE: Today is the seventh anniversary of Matt and Alex combining their independent blogs with what Isaac, Phil and I were doing here. "For a day or two, anyway," we wrote, we'd refer to the combined "A List A Day"/"Throwing Things"/"Live From Five Minutes Ago" entity as "A List Of Things Thrown Five Minutes Ago." [TPE and Kim joined soon thereafter as well.]
How long ago was it? Among the things we blogged that week were the season one finale of The O.C. and overall finale of Friends, George Huff's ouster from Idol, and the funny "Debbie Downer" sketch which just aired on SNL for the first time. Good times, gang.
