Well, don’t stay away too long.

Take a break, you’ve earned it! And thanks for the update, I was beginning to think you’d been swallowed by a giant hound. (I would have said whale but for the previous post.)

Can someone tell me where Nose Candy Andy is buried? I want to dig him up and make a movie called “Weekend At Breitbart’s.”

After the film is completed I’ll put him back. I’m not a savage.

Enjoy your break, I’m sure I can find something (someone) to amuse me somewhere and provide my daily dose of SIWOTI.

Edit: By which I mean, you usually point me to an incident of SIWOTI, not that you yourself provide the example. But you probably knew what I meant.

Kindle App for your phone when L&T takes her Kindle back.

What wmd1961 said. I won one of the first gen iPads a couple of years back in a drawing at work. I truly hate reading printed books at this point, at least as far as fiction goes. Reference books and non-fiction I still prefer to have sitting on a desk at hand, but that’s changing.

I do all my reference work online (CPA). But a couple of my partners still prefer to pick up the (now huge) paperback Internal Revenue Code/Regulations and leaf through them. When the online versions are so much EASIER & FASTER to search. Don’t get it. And the funny thing is I’m a lot older than they are. But they’re conservative dudes and I’m a feminazi lib lady so maybe that’s some of it.

Also, too. They’ll take my Kindle when they pry it out of my cold, dead hands. ;-)

I’ll be back soon … which is more than Andrew Breitbart can say.

hahahhahaha… I know I shouldn’t laugh but….hahahahahahahah

Because I am poor and can’t afford any gadgets, I have Kindle for PC. Works just fine.

mrs TBogg needs amusing (wink wink nudge nudge – say no more).

“Pirates of Penzance” on repeat?

You say you’ll take a break but soon the stoopidity and the snark will call and you will not be able to resist…

Feminazi lib lady? Did you get the black leather boots and riding crop that goes with that?

It just sounds lovely.

lt&c in nyc? just in time for tboww! ahh, the lord works in mysterious ways, no?

We are so addicted to our Kindles that it’s shocking. Always big readers here anyway, but the ability to carry a couple hundred books around is delicious. Plus my eyes are getting old (alas) and the ability to set the font size really matters now. Love the Kindle!

What rickhill said. If our demonic overlord is gone too long, the stoopudity drain will soon back up, clogged with bits of decaying Breitbart flesh, Jonah’s partially masticated cheetos, Bristol’s unused condoms, shreds of Malkin’s cheerleader skirt, and, of course, mounds of pure shit expelled from wingnut pieholes.

Enjoy your vaca, Mr. Bogg, but please return before it gets knee-deep in here. I think you’ll be back before sooner rather than later. Resistance is futile.

I like my Kindle, too, but let me just point out: I downloaded (for free) various Sherlock Holmes stories. The Hound of the Baskervilles has, in its first three or four chapters, one ransom-note-like, cut-out-from-a-newspaper-type message, the London Times article from which it was cut, and one other typographical oddity. And all three are just omitted from the Kindle version. The text just goes on without them. Before you realize what has happened, you think you’ve fallen asleep and skipped some essential material.

Okay, it was free. But still.

Oh well… I suppose we’ll have to amuse ourselves with archived links of basset pr0n until you and Mrs TBogg return from your scandalous walks along the beach while holding hands – IN PUBLIC, no less!

I never thought I’d prefer a Kindle to a good old fashioned book … but, Tebow help me, I do.

This sentence just breaks my heart.

I’m embarrassed to admit this, but because the rest of my family had hooked onto the Easton Press 100 Greatest Books routine, I, like the lemming that I am, joined the club, so to speak. Who could pass up Corinthian leather?

So, my wife and I have 50 of these books, some of which I have read, none of which she has read, sitting in what masquerades as a bookcase in a Manhattan apartment. Then, one day, a delivery from QVC included a Kindle-lite. When I asked her why she bought it, her response was that it would encourage her to read more books. She’s had some of the classics sitting in front of her face for 20 years, untouched by her, and she needs a machine to prompt her to read?!?!?!

And now you have joined the dark side.

I’m just a year older than you…exactly a year. How am I so out of touch with convenience?

And, what is more important: Is nothing sacred???????????????

I would add a few overworked spangles from Shakira’s costumes.

I imagine you’ll find Andrew at Hillside Memorial in West Los Angeles, a jewish cemetery at which his rich parents purchased rich space for not only their rich selves, but rich offspring to come.

Should you decide to stop by, I’d ask that you show restraint and limit yourself to dancing on his grave, or hurling on it, or merely shouting a simple “fuck you” at it.

Pursuit of your stated intent is a bad idea. It turned out badly for Victor Frankenstein, as you know, and it’d turn out badly for you as well. I beseech you, please do not reanimate the corpse of Andrew Breitbart.

And lastly, Tom B, I agree. Here in Hollywood, every jacaranda tree in town has suddenly burst into full bloom (on the same day, yet, do they all have a deal with each other?), and all I wanna do is sit out front and watch the palm trees wave in the breeze. Could do it for days, and probably will, to the distress of all else.

Soon enough, it’ll be hotter than a latina weathergirl, so I relish these days, and try to remember them: to save ‘em up, sort of, for later.

Enjoy your time off, Tom, and know that in my opinion it could not possibly be more well-deserved.

Fine. More real books for me. I cannot stand e-readers. I think they’re the result of a conspiracy to make people read less by making it so damn uncomfortable.

And your little find-myself jaunt better not preclude Thursday night basset blogging, Mister. What do we pay you for, anyhow?

“Real books” are the books you read. It doesn’t really matter if they’re paper or digital, as long as you keep the habit of reading, and for many people, an e-reader does that.

Los Jacarandas have already bloomed and faded and finished here…. But here, we have Black Krim tommytoes and Mortgage Lifters, the apricots and peaches are all ripe RIGHT NAOW, and there are proto-grapes growing. Spring is quick in the Southwest, and there’s no time for lazing around. Time for putting up jam and preserving and pickling! Soon enough it’ll be too hot to breathe, much less eat or move or think.

Ah Crystal Pier Hotel.

I used to hang out next door at Blind Melons on evenings when they had a decent band.

Good old Sandy Eggo. Sorta miss it.

Which will undoubtedly be illegal in Tennessee by Friday.

What do we pay you for, anyhow?

I knew it! “Spaghetti Lee” is an anagram for “George Soros”! Well played!

“because I’m fairly certain that someone is saying something dumb on the internet.”

Well, if not something dumb, at least something with the verb in the wrong mood: indicative rather than subjunctive after “wish”, e.g., “I wish I were not such a grammar nerd.”

In the meantime, please patronize the other fine bloggers …

If they had half of Fenway’s grace or Wembley’s intelligence, or even vice versa, I might bother to condescend to them
