At first I was mildly annoyed, but as minutes and then hours passed….

.... my palms began to sweat. By bedtime, I was pacing the floor, the ashtray littered with butts.  “I’ll be ok”, I said to myself over and over.  It was a long night.

The next morning, I bounded down the stairs. “SAB will be back and up”, I whispered feverishly. It wasn’t! “Nooooooo....!”

There would be no mutual flogging… no incisive wit… no attack, dodge, weave, bob, thrust, strike!

By noon, I had no appetite, the cat was in hiding. Every five minutes I tried… that damn sign-on thing became my enemy. Was this a nightmare from which I would never wake?

By night-time, I knew I was in bad shape. I actually longed to have 108 call me a moron. I prayed to see one of realitybasedbob’s inane posts.  It would be OK if Move_Zig thought McCain was a chi-com plant. Even Sparkie. Anything, anything!

In the darkness, I cursed Rob Port.  I needed a fix and I needed it now. I was sweating and trembling. I had pain in my gut. I knew what it was… withdrawal! I was in the grip of SAB-tremens…

Feverishly, I got up. I took a dose of LGF… I shot up a hit of Gates of Vienna. Later, I emptied a hidden bottle of Power Line. Nothing helped.

Would I ever see BatWing again? Would Whistler, Anna, Zsa Zsa, RG, Proof, 2hotel9, Chief, Neimans and the others ever give me a rush again? 

Now I was out on the darkened streets.  Cars slowed to the curb… “Yo, you need sumpin’? Grass? Coke?” I stumbled over… “You got any SAB, man? I’ll pay anything...”

I would have given $50 for one hit of Hannitized. A $100 to trip on LDS.

I had hit bottom.  Friends commented that I looked ill… thin.... in need of a shave. I didn’t care. I needed my FIX!!!

In desperation, I checked into a clinic on the second night. At 2:00 A.M., the doctor on duty finally saw me. He looked nervous and distracted, but I told him my story anyway.

When I was done, he shook his head sadly and slowly.  “Me too, pal, me too.  Can’t help you. Right now I’m hoping 200 cc’s of Michelle Malkin will get me through this shift.  Go home. Take two aspirin, and call me in the morning.”

I guess you didn’t get invited to the SAB party we had last night?


[W]hat you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Better come up with a disaster plan that includes a backup generator for the home and a backup satellite based internet service similar to that offered by hughesnet, and a friend to come over to remove sharp, pointy objects from the home in case of disaster.

I had a short power shortage during a thunderstorm the other day.  I was able to hook up with the laptop and my cell phone (Verizon data plan).

For power I can recharge off of the car battery.

Party?!? There was a party?

At least I can take comfort in the knowledge it was not the Democrat Party.

Well we wanted it to be a family friendly affair.

PP, I feel your pain(bites lower lip coyly), but I was inoculated. Past 2 weeks I been fighting a couple of connectivity issues, just to clear them up in time to see sayanything vanish.

I can say with confidence that my backlog of news reading is all caught up.

Yeah, I though about that too, but in a major disaster who’s to say you’ll be able to hit a repeater? That’s why I offered the satellite system as a backup, seems to work well for the camel humpers.

Was McCain invited to the party?

I could go for a good party. Too much R(eading)&R(esearch) for me of late.

I pig on a spit over a fire, some Maker’s Mark n’ ice, maybe a puff or two!

Tomorrow I’m headed out to the Polish joint for vodka, borscht, and boar. It’ll suffice until I can get out of the city and do some real partying.

I pig on a spit over a fire,

What??? did you intend to say “I spit on a pig over a fire”....dude, that’s gross, no way am I partying with you. Now if it’s A pig on a spit over a fire, we’re talking.

Let’s go down to the Sunset Grill SAB
Watch the working girls go by
Watch the “basket people” walk around and mumble
And gaze out at the auburn sky
Maybe we’ll leave come springtime
Meanwhile, have another beer
What would we do without all these jerks anyway?
Besides, all our friends are here


...for great justice
