Realx? Whaddaya mean, relax? Why should I relax? Everything is fine, I'm happy, I can quit blogging whenever I want, why should I relax??? Huh? Huh?

Have a good trip....

Pejman, see Lisa Simpson on pep pills:

Bart: You've been all edgy and suspicious ever since I gave you those Pep Pills.

Lisa: Whatareyoutalkingabout-I don't need pep pills to be suspicious-If I wanna comment on it, I'll comment on it-Who's gonna stop me? You, Pep Pill Boy?-Pep boys-pills-Beverly Sills-Ohboyahboy-Uh oh-uh oh...Uh oh. I gotta stop taking those pills.

I will endeavour to be a more prolific blogger, as requested, but increases in quantity run the risk of decreases in quality, so...yeah.

Have a fun "vacation"!

Steve, say it ain't so...Bernstein's version of the immortal Ninth??? Please allow me to recommend the rendition by Gardiner and the Orchestre Revolutionnaire et Romantique...an 'authentic' reading at its best, and it'll revolutionize your idea of what the Ninth should be.

Well, while you're gone, I'll endeavor to include more naked drunkenness (or is that drunken nakedness) on my site until you can pick up the slack again.

Best wishes!
Dave

"Name any movie better than the book." the princess bride. the grapes of wrath. i'm pretty sure that's all.

Have fun, though I wouldn't have made the mistake of getting married if I were you.
nothing good can come out of it, really.

hush. you'll scare him. *shhh*

Just when I'm getting addicted, you leave. Enjoy the trip.

Whoa! Is that "About Me" link FUBAR, or is it my computer? (I won't even contemplate the idea that I actually know you).

Oh man. I wake up to this news. It's going to be a long day . . .

Well, she hasn't come screaming back.

Yet.

Akatsukami-san: That 'about me' link is FUBAR ... or we are using the same browser, which that link doesn't like.

Carey: I doubt she'll come screaming back -- no matter what we all may wish for our reading pleasure. What could be scarier than dealing with the VP himself?
She must be one gutsy lady to survive that! ;-)

The Shakes

I was ok without my fix for the first couple of days, but now I think I must be coming down. I thought he was going to check in and post now and again? What's going on? Everything is hazy. I feel cold...

This is wrong. There's no reason -- beyond perverted sadism -- that VP would leave us hanging like this. Come on, can't he find an internet cafe, or post from a friend's house...? Hey -- isn't this supposed to be the "always on" internet, everybody wired, all the time? It's 2002, fercryinoutloud!

(sniff)...Come back, VodkaPundit.

Dear VP:
Just as I was getting over the 'recent unpleasantness' with the server situation throwing you offline and giving me a case of serious delirium tremens, now you tell me I must teetotal through the entire weekend without your punditry. Geez, I hope this marriage thing is worth it.

This absence has gone on long enough. Dump the babe and return to bloggery!

Maybe VP's family decided to keep the babe and dump VP. I remember what my dear old mum said to me when I got married - "Son, you're damn lucky she puts up with you. If you ever split up, we're keeping her."

Yeah, I remember having a woman dump me saying "You know, I wish I could date your family instead of you."

Maybe VP got lost finding his way home. :)

Movies better than the book: The Right Stuff

All right, VP. That's enough of a break Get off the babysitter and come out with your wits up.
