2010: Year Of The (Blank)

[Ardamus]

I've been playing with this in my head about 2010. As crazy of a year it was, I've been trying to think of light hearted way of remembering this year.

For example, in DC, 2010 was Year Of The Crepes here. All of a sudden, everyone wants to slang crepes on every corner for some reason. LOL.

year of the david versus goliath, also known as wikileaks

the  year people went apeshit for crappy food from tweeting food trucks

the year WeLoveDC displaced BYT and Big Yawn before it for the prestigious 930 Forum pimping award

the year it became easy to find cask ale in DC

The year of the original snowpocalypse/snowmagedon and we (most of us here) lived (and suffered through) to tell about it. All others are the snow spawn of our own Mid-Atlantic excesses of Mother Nature's winter dumping.

Plus, if you remember, when it hit, it snowed on top of a good layer of snow and then snowed again afterwards. Take THAT, NYC!

Actually the original Snowpocalypse was in December 2009!   The February 2010 one was Snowpocalypse II...

i'm not sure if you have young children . . . but if you, or anybody else reading this does, force them to watch this show called "boohbah".  you will regret it, and they will grow up wanting to take acid . . . but hey, what else do you have to look forward to?

2010: Year of the adorable baby animals at the National Zoo

Andean bear cubs, clouded leopard cubs, kiwis, lion cubs, cheetah cubs, etc.

Check out their flickr page if you missed any of the cuteness during the year.

"Bow Tie Wednesday"

and I rather enjoy most of the food from the twittering trucks, so much better than by the pound dreck near L'Enfant.  Nothing wrong with some above average comfort food mid-day, get me out of office to.

which is why it's also "Curry Wednesday"

Liking the responses I'm seeing here. Now that its  in the past, 2011 has to have some better nicknames.

2010: the year the gulf went black

2010: the year of the unpronounceable volcano

2010: the year walkonby invades every thread to remind us for the 17,298,941th time that downloading is ruining music, and then make some tangentially-related exaggeration.

2010: The year that Kevin Shields got off of his seriously delayed droning ass and actually played some gigs!

Wouldn't that be the 2009 year? or even the 2008 year?
