Howdy folks! Tomorrow is the one-year anniversary of Chortle. And to celebrate? I’m taking a damn vacation. (Ok, technically, I’m traveling for a wedding right now. But my toddler isn’t here, so we’re definitely calling it a vacation.)
Anyway, I’ve scheduled a bunch of funny guest posts for the rest of the week (all free!). Next week, we’ll get back to our normal rhythms.
But first! What’s an anniversary without a look backwards? Please enjoy the ten most popular Chortle posts from our first year.

The unexpected benefits of losing brain cells to old age: I know I read the “Coachella” piece one short month ago, because I always read Chortle, but today I am laughing out loud at it, with no recognition that I had read it before! A win!
Congratulations Greg on your successful first year of Chortle!!! Next year, let’s lobby Google to include Chortleficial Intelligence in all search results.
