urban monarch one year anniversary
July 13, 2007 by Cash

It’s official. UM has been around for a whole year. In that time, authors have come and gone, features have been featured, and plenty of alcohol, grooming products, and fiber bars have been sampled.
I’m quite proud of the work we do here @ UM, but on this important occasion I thought it would be fun to look back at some of the ahem, less important information we’ve shared with you, our most valuable readers.
Sifu:
When Sifu first wrote this post on curing hiccups, we laughed. Reading it today, I laugh all over again. Hey, we were young and needed the content
Gucci’s fascination with an imaginary girl named “Bambi” was well documented during his stint with UM. In this post, he asks her to kindly refrain from bothering him while he “stamps his authority” all over some “Ryu” character’s face.
Boy howdy did Glenn hate the products we had him review. Maybe ‘hate’ is too strong a word, but he wasn’t making any friends with the likes of Zirh, that’s for sure. Glenn provided a lot of solid information, which made his post on ‘how to annoy people’ quite curious indeed.
Greg:
Over the last year; Greg and I have fallen into certain natural roles here @ UM. I consider him the Urban Monarch Sex Editor in Chief, and I would say I’m the Drinking Editor in Chief (”drunk editor in chief” might be even more appropriate). We both write about a variety of topics, of course, but those seem to be our primary areas of focus. I remember my surprise then on seeing his post titled “The Freezing Point of Soda“. “Bob” made a comment that went a few steps further.
Cash:
Oh lord. So many to choose from. I try to include informative, helpful information in my posts but sometimes let’s face it, I’m working against a deadline and running out of time. Hopefully, this is the explanation behind my post on Parking Meters For The Homeless.
To all our contributors, sponsors and (especially!) readers alike, thank you for being part of our first year.
Isn’t the one year anniversary gift typically “Vodka”? Hmm. If not, it certainly should be.


I’m very proud of all of you guys. Keep it coming
Is there a UM anniversary party in the near future? If there isn’t THERE DEFINITELY SHOULD BE!
Rock ‘n roll guys!
Re: Zirh, I use Clean every day, and I actually don’t hate shaving now that I wetshave. Highly recommended for guys to pick up a safety razor, shave soap, and a badger hair brush from ClassicShaving.com.
freezing soda is curious thing…
wow.. I had no idea this blog has only been around for a year–that must mean I have been reading it pretty much since it came out. Anyway guys, thanks for all the reviews, comments, and general drunken stories. This blog is a must-read for me and should be for every man everywhere.
Kudos!
congrats on making it a year. was it all that you expected?
I know how hard it is to keep a blog going. Great job.
Happy Anniversary,
It was a pleasure contributing to this project.
Gucci
A little bit late…happy anniversary, most of the time you write interesting things;)
Go ahead!
