    That was the "gag" that made the song funny.

    Well, hold on a sec Sparky. We're talking about the "Diamond Anniversary" flavor that's being offered for this year only, not the, ah, "regular" one.

    If we're going to offer a semi-serious 100 entity award (and we shouldn't call it DXCC, I think the League's lawyers would have something to say about that... and they'd be right, so why look for trouble?) we need to talk about it a little big more.

    I worked Estonia the other night. Only 70 more to go...
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Add Papua, New Guinea (YB9) and Java (YB2) to the list. That makes 51.
