Happy anniversary to Napoleon, who abdicated the imperial throne on this date in 1814, subsequent to exile to Elba. His goal of world domination came up short.

Happy anniversary to Yuri Gagarin, becoming the first man in space on this date in 1961. Durned Russkies.

Happy anniversary to Tiger Woods and his first Masters victory on this date in 1997. I watch a lot of golf, partly so that I can yell "Phrasing!" at a sport where the goal is to use a wood to get the ball in a hole with the fewest number of strokes.

1 year since my first eBay sale. 30-something dollars for my well-read childhood G.I. Joe comics, as a test.

Happy one-year anniversary to the time that I rooked some ebay newbie out of a bunch of G.I. Joe comic books. Best thirty bucks I ever spent.

Okay, from now on, everyone must refer to Introvertigo as ManCaveCollectibles ...I kind of hope he/they got some value out of them but the most valuable was tore to crap. I followed his store for awhile to see if he resold them but I don't think he ever did.

I prefer Sid's version. Both died aged 21.

Happy anniversary to Ezra Pound, released from a hospital for the criminally insane on this date in 1958. It is so heartwarming when an anti-Semitic fascist charged with treason gets a second chance. What the fuck?

Happy anniversary to Winston Churchill, knighted on this date in 1953. So, who on the Back Porch should be knighted? Sir Introvertigo has a nice ring to it, after all...

Happy anniversary to Benito Mussolini, who, on this date in 1945, was executed for his hang-ups, or something like that.

Happy anniversary to the Chunnel, opened on this date in 1994, connecting the Brits with those dastardly French. Wait, there aren't any French on this site, are there?
