Has it been another 500 entries already? Once again we've crossed another arbitrary milestone as I've managed to come up with 1,500 total PTB entries. It's taken a bit longer to do this time around; after my health cratered back in February things were very slow going for a while. As before, let's look back on some of my favorites from the last set of 500. Since this list reaches back into the end of 2006, we might as well consider this a "best of 2007" list as well.
