Well, folks, it looks like it's time to say So Long, Farewell and auf Wiedersehen. (Readers of this blog know I prefer Harold Arlen over Rodgers and Hammerstein, hence the title of this post.)

For two years I've blogged for the good people at AOL and it has been nothing short of glorious: Who else would give me a forum to write about everything from presidential politics to American Idol ... to my personal travails with Ped Egg and my Polish cleaning lady? This has been a tremendous experience.

Through it all my producer Will Hines has been an extraordinary collaborator and friend. We've been able to dress up a young man as Cindy McCain, consult Tim Gunn on polygamist fashions, and ask random New Yorkers about their Spank Bank holdings. And we made major news when we uncovered the Michelle Obama "Whitey" tape.

In our award-winning "This or That?" series, we forced innocent passersby to choose between Christian Science or Scientology ... Fried Dumplings or Steamed Dumplings ... and Beau Bridges or Randy Quaid. Then we asked them to make the hardest choice of all:



Experts were always on hand, like when we examined the world's worst sibling rivalry:



But more often the expert was you, as when we explored the protocol of hooking up at a baby shower:



Before Will took over the 180 ship, producer Dave Larzalere brought his warped wit with, among others, this classic survey:



And at the start of this venture, my pal Gideon Evans produced this gem:



Thanks to master editors Dave Kovenetsky and Doug Morrione, our longtime PA/trumpeter Andrew Oom, studio cameraman Tim Meyers, party promoter Mike Whitmore, DJ Rafael Jiminez and boss man Mike Rubens. Thanks also to Andrew Zipern, James Luria, Coates Bateman and Stephen Pendlebury at AOL.

AND HUGE THANKS AND LOVE TO EVERYONE WHO VISITED!
