The Very Best of The Fermented Brick

What can we say? The Fermented Brick has been live for about ten days now, and my god hasn't the time just flown? So many memories, good times, laughter and tears were packed into those days.

So in honour of these amazing and incredible times, The Fermented Brick presents...

THE VERY BEST OF THE FERMENTED BRICK

It's hard to know where to start? I know the beginning would be the best place, but honestly there are just so many highlights that need further highlighting. If you're a regular reader (hi Dellis!), you might want to take your over-excitement medicine because this is going to be an action packed high-octane speedway rocket-sled ride down Memory Lane.

Strap on the plastic pants, we're going in...

Who could ever forget that time when The FermentedBrick spent its first six weeks gestating as nary but a dead link on Blogspot because nothing had been posted? My god those were the days. Back then in November 2005 everything was different. The Internet was everywhere making communication instantaneous, people could walk about with "mobile" "phones" that ran on this new magick called electricity -- no longer relying on crude oil or the prayers of small children to run, and thousands of new blogs we're being born every day. But not The Fermented Brick. Oh no.

The Fermented Brick was content to bide its time, like a coiled worm ready to strike or an eagle hording only the best acorns for winter.

Then there was the incredible first post. A post that rocked the Blogosphere to its very foundations with the author's erudition and immense typing prestidigitation skills that saw a mere 26 letters arranged into what we now know as "words" and "sentences"; these further arrayed in such a fashion that entire worlds opened before the reader's eyes.

It was obvious that the author was a skilled alphabetical artisan, and as any sane reader would instantly divine he had sexual charms that no women should be able to resist, but inexplicably had...

The first post though ushered in a totally new era of blogging, insofar as The Fermented Brick was concerned, and within days it had garnered an insane number of comments! (Please note: the author considers zero to be an insane number)

Who could forget the second post? They said it couldn't be done, that the mighty testament to the human sipirit that was the first post could never be bettered, and yet they were wrong, so wrong. Ladies, that sensation you're feeling right now are your ovaries crying out...

Be strong.

I would include a screenshot of the second post here, but my technical advisors tell me that's it is far too much awesome for even the Windows Clipboard to handle. Instead I'm going to risk incurring the wrath of the Old Ones, and include a link to it here. Forgive me, horrors that hath no name, for I know not what I do...

Then there was the run on nature photography -- a set of post so haunting, so...so... *sob*

Who among us could ever say that they don't remember reading about the very best of The Fermented Brick? I know I'll never forget that special moment.

Look, sorry...I can't type any more at the moment. There's just too many good times, so many memories... Although I can report that at the moment the world's greatest scientific minds are gathering to try and explain how The Fermented Brick managed to get to ten posts in ten days, as it's quite obvious to lay-men such as you and I that this blog is expanding faster than the universe. Obviously some fundamental laws are being broken here, and while part of my brain is telling me it's to do with the blog taking full advantage of the massive energies released in the Casimir Effect and therefore the laws of Relativty are still unbroken, the other part of my brain is cautioning me not to blog drunk any more.
