TDC's Sixth Birthday Special

On October 20, 2005, The Desert Colossus celebrates its sixth year of operation, and a year and a half of continous operation since its relaunch in March of 2004. Contained in this featurette (and I call it a featurette because it pales in comparison to the depth of last year's special) is a "birthday card" signed by some frequent visitors and great friends of this site. Also, there's an update of the "By the Numbers" section from last year's birthday special along with some statistics to see how we did over the last year.

Many Happy Returns!

Happy Birthday and congratulations!

Now about the party...I know it would be appropriate to celebrate at the Desert Colossus, but those sand storms, you know? You're sure to lose a few guests here and there. Unless you're planning on having a Gerudo pop out of a cake, I'll risk the blinding sand for that.

Happy Birthday TDC. Whoogah, whoogah, whoogah!
Bring out the party games. Lets throw some confetti. Strobe lights. Smoke machines. Come one come all except for you Kamakazi Plumber. You know what you did. Ha Ha Ha. Lets party for three days(which isn't that long considering MM's time speed) Lets go streaking through Hyrule fields. YEAH!!!!!

Speaking of celebrations...

How about this for the party: we hire the Indigo-gos, have Darth Sauron's Gerudo-in-the-cake idea, Julians "Special" brownies, a piñata shaped like Goht, and.... pin the tail on Epona! Yeah!

Anyways.....Happy Birthday, TDC!!!

A river of sinking sand.
A wall-less maze of red flags.
A familiar emblem on a rooftop.
A poe with an invisible game to play.
A pack of leevers with nothing better to do.
A much-needed refuge on a wide slab of rock.
A Desert Colossus that reaches out and invites you in.
A whopping Happy 6th Birthday to The Desert Colossus!
No matter how you got here, no doubt you'll see why we call it home.
Thanks, Jack!
