Wow. We can't believe the kids over at HX still talk us. We've given them some pretty nasty lip over the past few months. We made light of their financially-motivated love affair with Michael Lucas. We took the piss out of that whole anniversary party fist fight. And we undoubtedly had a laugh at new editor Brandon Voss' expense. Yet, they still named us as one of their favorite 800 things of the year. Why so many favorites? They're celebrating their 800th issue, of course.

Not only are we one of their top 800 faves, we're actually in the top 100: 59, to be exact - sandwiched between New York's Leslie/Lohman Art Gallery, but above Perez Hilton. Here's what they had to say:

Good thing we can take a little razzing, cuz Queerty.com editor Andrew Belonsky sure dished it out this year! Taking a breather from the bitchery, the former HX peon told us that his favorite “outing” story of ’06 was actually Pluto’s being exposed as a dwarf planet. “I’ve never felt more deceived in my life,” he says.

As for the "former HX peon" bit, just ask Mr. Voss about his career trajectory.

So, who else is on the list? Well, our friends over at Gayz of Our Lives, 114 minutes of Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct 2 and Peter Berlin, to name a few.
