Well what do you know! Today marks my 1000th post! Can you believe it? I’ve been blogging for a little under 3 years, 1070 days to be exact, and I’m up to my 1000th post. So on average I’ve almost blogged everyday! Isn’t that crazy? What could I have possibly talked about all this time? Apparently, some pretty crappy stuff, because in celebration of my 1000th post, I’ve made the following video to commemorate the 10 worst posts I’ve ever done. Enjoy!
The 10 Worst Puntabulous Posts from Craig McAnally on Vimeo.
Thanks to Avitable for the tech help!

Have you been smoking? You sound like Lauren Bacall.
June 24th, 2008 at 9:12 am
Congrats, babe
Funny video, too
June 24th, 2008 at 9:19 am
Hayden is the number 1 (fan) in 1000!!!!! The top ten posts don’t seem so bad when you present them and I actually loved that Franken Berry post now that you just trashed it…maybe bad puntabulous posts are like a fine wine, they get better with age (just like myself!)…Keep posting Craig, I’ll take a bad post over no post!
P.S. I am sure you got a haircut because you were videotaping yourself, didn’t you?!
June 24th, 2008 at 9:25 am
Congratulations on #1000!
June 24th, 2008 at 9:38 am
Mazel tov. Here’s to 1000 more.
June 24th, 2008 at 9:47 am
Congrats on 1000
June 24th, 2008 at 9:54 am
1,000! I guess that would make it a grand post, regardless of whether it’s good or not.
But this *was* good! Great, in fact. I was laughing out loud (literally, not a mere LOL) when you sniffed the photo of yourself. Hysterical.
But I’d put PEZ first.
And Polt wants to have sex with you?!? Whaaat???
And I agree with Hayden, the Franken isn’t so bad, but to base an entire blog on it? Yeah, maybe not so good. But #1? Nah.
Pez is

I need to edit my comments better. Damn dangling sentences. My brain must’ve still been trying to figure out who Capt. Flaccid is…
June 24th, 2008 at 9:57 am
Is this the first time you’ve done a video post with you actually talking??
This is definitely the first time I’ve heard it. You don’t sound at ALL like how I have been imagining in my head.
June 24th, 2008 at 10:26 am
Um the face you make at number 6….
priceless.
June 24th, 2008 at 10:32 am
Crap! Your posts normally come up before I leave for work where I could have watched this video with sound. But now I have to wait until I get home tonight, which won’t be until after 11, so I won’t be one of the first people to make a clever observation about the video, which makes me quite sad.
June 24th, 2008 at 10:33 am
I can’t watch it now, I’ll have to do so when I get home. Nonetheless, congrats on the milestone!
And Dave S., don’t worry, Polt wants to have sex with you too (although, not having seen the video yet, I have no idea what you’re referencing…)
HUGS…
June 24th, 2008 at 10:55 am
Oh Polt, of all the people that should be watching this video right now, it’s you.
Miss Britt: Yes, this is the first time I’ve done a video of me talking casually. Apparently I sound like Lauren Bacall?
And thanks everyone!
June 24th, 2008 at 10:55 am
How can you trash Franken Berry and leave out Burnt Sienna? Based on that, I believe that a retraction of the Franken Berry post should be issued? Will there be Save Franken Berry shirts, coasters, clocks, mouse pads, cups, thongs, boxers and whatever else you can hawk for sale soon? Is this just an evil ploy at commercialism?
June 24th, 2008 at 11:00 am
Congratulations on 1000!!
June 24th, 2008 at 11:31 am
CRAIG is a Welsh name meaning ‘ROCK’.
A ROCK is a large mass of STONE
A STONE is a unit of British WEIGHT
WEIGHT is an amount of MASS
MASS is a body of coherent MATTER
MATTER is something of IMPORTANCE
IMPORTANCE is to be PROMINENT
PROMINENT is to be OUTSTANDING
OUTSTANDING is to be AWESOME
Therefore: CRAIG is AWESOME
Congratulations on 1000! I’m sure 1001-2000 will be just as fantastic.
June 24th, 2008 at 12:16 pm
Congrats on 1000! Funny post. I love my Evil Bunny shirt by the way. Now I’ve just got to remember to take a picture wearing it and send it to you. Dave: I think he was kissing his own picture, not sniffing it, but I could be wrong.
June 24th, 2008 at 12:21 pm
Impressive FDot! Thanks!
Scottie C: No, it was a sniff. I’m glad you like your shirt! I want a pic!
June 24th, 2008 at 12:29 pm
“Someone is eating a PEZ out of me”. I’m not sure why, but I had to listen to that twice. It stirred something for some reason.
Congrats on 1000, and Yes, You are Awsome!
I have a tendency to sniff inkjet copies too, and gas cans.
June 24th, 2008 at 12:31 pm
Oh, Craig, you only mentioned Pez Craig as an obvious ploy to get us to tell you that we want to taste the gay. Especially Polt.
June 24th, 2008 at 12:41 pm
Congratulations on the 1000th… beyond impressive and anything I will achieve !!!
Many thanks for all the great reading!
Cheers Paul

That was the most entertaining 68 minutes Bossy ever spent in her life. And Bossy would argue, even when you got “nothing” for us, you got SOMETHING.
Congratulations.
June 24th, 2008 at 1:45 pm
Mark and Jere: No, you may not eat pez out of my booty.
Yarravillepaul: Don’t be ridiculous. You are awesome!
Bossy: Thanks!
June 24th, 2008 at 1:51 pm
Hayden: The “Burnt Sienna” post is one of my favorites of all time. It belongs nowhere near this list.
Craig, I enjoyed your revulsion at the inadvertent Family Guy rip-off. You can take solace in the fact that, chances are, Family Guy ripped the gag off of some other source too. A source like me and my friends cracking each other up between spasmotic bouts of paste-eating in second grade.
June 24th, 2008 at 2:06 pm
Ok Craig I love you but I could not sit through this. I only have an hour for lunch. Aren’t you supposed to have a New York accent or something? Or are you a closet Midwesterner? We don’t have accents, you know. Happy 1000th. Oh and I love your hair in action. Every time you lower your head it’s like watching a porcupine. If I were your mom I’d be ruffling it all the time.
June 24th, 2008 at 3:20 pm
The Pez Dispenser had me roaring. Not the post, of course: the dry critique. I’m sure it made sense at the time. Congratulations on your millennial post.
June 24th, 2008 at 4:06 pm
Congrats on the 1,000! And I liked the Pez dispenser.
June 24th, 2008 at 4:15 pm
Happy 1,000th, a cake with a thousand candles for you!
The pink shirt post was the first day I read Puntabulous, so there must have been something about that that made me come back.
June 24th, 2008 at 4:34 pm
I liked when you inserted yourself into movies!
The titanic one was good!
And I remember a post where you were like “Should I stop doing horoscopes?” lol.
And I’m with Miss Britt: “This is definitely the first time I’ve heard (your voice). You don’t sound at ALL like how I have been imagining in my head.”
June 24th, 2008 at 4:38 pm
Nicky: Those are really old posts. Have you been reading Puntabulous all along? Or have you just gone back and read my archives?
Also, how did everyone expect me to sound? Gayer? Manlier? New Yorkerish?
People always tell me I have a Mid-Western accent.
June 24th, 2008 at 4:45 pm
Your voice is *exactly* that of my high school junior prom date.
… Yeah, turns out he was gay. But a lovely person! And very cute.
June 24th, 2008 at 4:53 pm
Okay…having come home from work, and actually watched the video, I have a few comments.
1) You actually do sound a bit like Lauren Becall. But look at the bright side, you could sound like Humphrey Bogart.
2) Not sure what the whole Pez thing was about, but I bet you DO taste like gay.
3) Jere: I’m used to tasting the gay (several times a week, thank you very much), but what’s important is that I have yet to taste the Puntabulous gay!
4) And yes, I do in fact want to have sex with Craiggers (like this comes as a surprise to ANYone). But all of you who making snide comments about it, let’s remember…to my recollection, I was the only reader mentioned by name in the video. That shows how special I am to Craiggers. So there. :p
HUGS…
June 24th, 2008 at 4:56 pm
I hope you had your tongue firmly inserted in your cheek while making that post. (And I mean his facial cheek! Get you mind out of the pez dispenser!). Craig, I thoroughly enjoy your blog and only regret I found it so late. You are creative, funny and just quirky (and normal) enough.
Congratulations on your 1000th post!
I expected a little more New York in your accent and will admit your voice it wasn’t quite what I expected. Your voice is a little deeper than I thought it would be is all.
FDot: that post of yours was fantastic!
June 24th, 2008 at 5:11 pm
Actually I was just kidding about the non-accent midwesterners have. I myself have an “Inland North” accent. Craig, check out gotoquiz.com and take the “what American accent do you have” quiz, then get back to us. I’m not sure if they have a “gayer” or “manlier” accent, but now we’re all curious.
June 24th, 2008 at 6:36 pm
I can’t believe I watched the whole thing. It must be because you’re so gorgeous.
Congrats on 1000 posts
*smooches*
June 24th, 2008 at 6:40 pm
When I first found your blog I went back and read some older entries randomly, and I still do every once in a while.
And I expected you to sound… less deep. lol. Not high-pitched and girly, but like, in the middle. Actually, like me basically. haha.
June 24th, 2008 at 6:52 pm
I quite liked the pez post, actually! It could definitely pass as some kind of satirical take on the commodification of homosexual identity in contemporary pop culture. Or you know, whatever, it’s kinda funny too.
All of those posts were still very good, I thought! And any chance to see and hear you in action is awesome. You’re adorable; I love the dangerously spiky hair.
June 24th, 2008 at 7:29 pm
I agree the pez post has something. Surely it comes out of the list by popular demand. Also I think the ‘This is all I’ve got for you’ post has some depth to it, seriously. However pumpkin/super viagra sullies the whole franchise, and the pun one, you’re right that isn’t even a pun. It’s just about a play on words, but whose blog wasn’t shoddy at the start out. You recouped brilliantly.
Most blogs are shoddy at the get go and shoddy all the way up to their deaths 6 months later. Your’s is consistently great, that’s why we all read it and it’s why Polt wants to have sex with you. Congrats on the 1K. Long may it continue.
June 24th, 2008 at 8:47 pm
How many comments have you made? 5,000? 10,000?
June 24th, 2008 at 8:52 pm
Ryan R: 8039 comments so far.
June 24th, 2008 at 9:14 pm
Hey Craig -
Congratulations and thanks for making me laugh 990 times!
June 24th, 2008 at 9:15 pm
Just kidding - even one of your “worst” posts brightens my day!
June 24th, 2008 at 9:44 pm
Hey, congrats on 1000 posts. Hoping for many more. You have a great voice, its deep but kind of soft and very pleasant. You do sound a bit New Yorkerish at times though, not severe but some words. I liked the pez thing too. Well, maybe not the tasting gay thing seeing how as I am a straight woman, but the concept was cute.
June 24th, 2008 at 9:54 pm
Lawls and roffles…
The Pez one was my favorite.
Whorecake, Craig! Congrats on 1,000 posts!
June 24th, 2008 at 10:32 pm
You’re my role model! I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…but I already did…but fuck it: YOU’RE MY ROLE MODEL. You’re awesome! do more video posts. hahaha! ok. how much more love can i give you without looking like a total ass? don’t answer that.
June 24th, 2008 at 11:38 pm
The comments around here are often as fun as the posts. I’m pretty sure “Get your mind out of the pez dispenser!” will confuse the hell out of my coworkers when I say it during a staff meeting and then laugh hysterically this week.
Craig: the booty is off limits for pez eating, got it.
June 24th, 2008 at 11:40 pm
Also, I remember the karaoke video so your voice didn’t really shock me like it did others. Accents are funny things. I grew up in Utah and Nevada, but I’m constantly mistaken for a Canadian.
June 25th, 2008 at 12:12 am
Oh come on, who here hasn’t sat on a pumpkin stem at one time or another?
June 25th, 2008 at 9:07 am
[…] I make exceptions for the occasional video post like Craig’s 1000th post on Puntabulous but it just doesn’t fit into my internetting time to have to watch tons […]
June 25th, 2008 at 11:10 am
Lauren Bacall?
I was thinking Brenda Vaccaro.
Anyway, congrats on 1000 posts!
June 25th, 2008 at 5:16 pm
Congratulations on your 1000 post! (Even though it took us a day to be able to watch the video, as we’re still in the boondocks with almost no internet).
Looking forward to the next thousand.
June 25th, 2008 at 5:22 pm
you’re new york accent is cute! (or whatever east coast accent, i’m from the midwest i cant tell)
June 26th, 2008 at 10:02 pm
I recently passed my 1,000th post on June 4, 2008. Mine isn’t quite as fabulous as yours but it does have some meat to it.

June 27th, 2008 at 7:52 am
Congratulations on 1000 posts, Craig! I can always count on Puntabulous for a laugh.
June 30th, 2008 at 3:52 pm
Just getting around to watching this (been on va-ca), and I agree with others, your voice is unexpected. It took me until around 3:12 to get used to it. I hear a little yankee in your accent, but nothing close to my relatives from upstate. Congrats on 1000, and I will definitely keep reading (and laughing of course).
July 2nd, 2008 at 6:38 am
“Especially, Polt, who is dying to have sex with me . . . ”
LOL!
