Dave Barry's Blog, page 4

I���m shutting the Blog down.

Actually, technically, TypePad is shutting it down, by going out of business September 30. After that date this site will disappear, and I���ve made the decision not to attempt to migrate it to another platform. Everything, except Keith Richards, eventually comes to an end, and it just feels like it���s time, after all these years, to let the Blog go to that Big Archive in the Sky.

It has been a fun couple of decades, hanging out here with you very funny folks -- discussing the International Squirrel Conspiracy, and what WBAGNFARB, and all the entities, human and otherwise, that qualify for Florida drivers��� licenses, and the many, many other random topics that made up whatever this weird thing has been. Thanks to all of you ��� the people who sent me all those news items; the excellent commenters; the lurkers ��� for being part of this. Really: Thank you. You made it work.

I plan to keep posting here until the end of the month. After that you can find me on my Substack (you don���t have to subscribe to read my posts). You can also email me there at [email protected] if you see something you think I need to be aware of. And you can continue to find each other on the Facebook page, where a bunch of Blog people hang out.

For now, everybody please try to remain calm. We will get through this.

Also -- needless to say -- Judi will be fired.

Is it only me but when the Four Tops sing the song "Bernadette" doesn't it sound like they are singing "Burn the Dead"? So a few lines of the song sound like:

"Whatever you do

"Please Burn the Dead"
