Gees, I love that song, don't you? Don't worry, he'll live on here and in your memories for a long time to come. You can thank me for that.
On another note, for the first time in 4 years of blogging, I'm actually going on vacation this week. Really. I'm turning off the computer while I'm in New York and I'm not posting ahead or nuthin'. I'm feeling frazzled after a crazy month of May and I just feel empty. Even my mom told me that she's noticed a lot of cat photos on the blog lately. Sheesh.
So, I'm hoping to get around my blogroll before I leave and then enjoy a couple of days just tooling around the Big Apple with, oh....100 of my closest teenage friends for the remainder of the week. Sounds relaxing, doesn't it? Yeah/no. Kill me now.
And while I'm killing myself in NYC, it's good to know that the boys will be holding down the fort here. Why do I think there's gonna be a whole lot of nuthin' going on here? Well, nothing productive, anyway. Hobbes is already setting the pace...

OH MY GOSH.
I had not watched the video before (although it seems to ring a memory, like I'd seen it on Lawrence Welk?!
Anyway, about 15 seconds into the video, I've had enough. I click the little "pause" button, but the VIDEO WOULD NOT STOP. I clicked "play" then "pause, again and again. AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
He's Russian, eh? The Commies must have been pointing their machine guns at him to make him smile the entire time. No human could possibly smile that long unless a gun is in the orchestra pit.
I am missing you already!
Have a great trip, pally!
And have a great time in NYC! I'll be waving at ya, 350 miles north!
Ok, so when I first saw the photo of Hobbes and the title of the post in my blog roll I thought something had happened to Hobbes!!! Then I clicked on the video and laughed until I cried!
So glad they put the lyrics up there for me :D
Have fun in NY and enjoy your well deserved break!
Jen
You deserve a break! Enjoy your time off, and I can't wait to hear your stories about NYC!
I can't believe someone actually transcribed that.
Have fun in NYC - Give my regards to Broadway!
And great photo of Hobbes (as always).
I am laughing so much at the comments. I wish there was a "like" button on here.
Enjoy your erm, vacation? It will probably give you lots to write about when you get back.
Oh no you don't! I'll not click on that link. I'm really sorry for your loss, but not to the point of listening to that.
Keep the kitty pix coming. We love 'em!
Have fun in NYC and be sure to take your camera and note pad.
acckkkkk! what has chaperoning kids to do with having any rest? a holiday? .... yikes.... .... it will be a NY Zoo ....
those lucky, lucky boys..... staying home where it is truly relaxing.....well, it would be for me I know that...... hear that Joseph?...lucky you!
and hey...tell your Mom ...I love cat photos ...
That sounds lovely!! All of us deserve & need a good long blog break sometimes. Enjoy!!! I think I'm going to do the same at the end of June- week before our reception! We'll have family in and with the last minute shopping and plans it'll just be too much!
Okay, the title of this post gave me an instant belly ache! I'm glad it's not a cat or family member (sorry to the theme song guy dude)!
Have a great time in NYC! Can't wait to hear your stories when you get back!
I'm pretty sure I'll get over his passing quite quickly. He's a bit creepy looking.
I don't blame you for take a blog vacation. Enjoy
Going computer free is gonna be a blast! I hope you have the best time in New York. I know you will!
Have a great trip, Lin and can't wait to hear what tales you'll be telling when you're blogging again later!
Wow, a real vacation getaway, good for you! I haven't had one of those since our honeymoon back in 2007! By the way, tell your mom I said you can never have enough cat pictures. I'm a huge fan of Hobbes and Gracie.
The New York Times did a full obit on him today (Wednesday)....
Helene--Hold down the fort for me, Helene!
Diane--I LOVE NYC! But this is a very different trip because we are chaperoning a cabillion band kids. I hope I survive. (I like his "plastic" hair)
Catherine--No crazy in NY--I am a chaperone. :( Crazy was the trip to NY before this one. :)
Vanilla--IF I survive.
Rebecca--Oh, you missed all the best parts. It's hard to believe but it gets better (worse?) as it goes on. It's actually an American song that he removed the words because he thought it would be banned in the Soviet for being "too American."
Veronica Lee--I'm following your lead, pally! ;)
Rebecca--I just hope I survive all those teens!
Jen--Oops, I'm sorry I scared you for a second! :( Nah, everyone is good here....just going on a band trip.
Hot Rocks--Oh, I'm sure it's going to be crazy with all those kids. I doubt this will be a "break!" Yikes!
Grace--We are going to see Phantom, Grace. That show never gets old!
Helene--The pallies are great, aren't they?
Chuck--Almost forgot the notepad--gotta have that! Camera is packed, although it is just the point and shoot. Go ahead, Chuck. Click just once!
Bumblevee--I know. There is a part of me that wishes I was the one staying home in the quiet. Yeah, it is going to be madness. It will be non-stop. Ugh.
Nancy--I'm finding that I just don't have anything to write about when I'm so pooped. I hope this sparks me a bit.
Beaded Tail--I'm sorry!! But he's sorta like family, isn't he??? ;)
Ann--ANN! SHAME ON YOU! We LOVE him....don't we??? You can at least say that you have been listening to him for years. ;)
Liz--I need to shut down and not feel guilty about it. That's the hard part.
Karen--I just hope I survive! I waiting for the relaxing part when I get to Will Oaks Campground! :)
Karen--We usually go away each year, but I blog while I'm on vacation, believe it or not. This time I am shutting it down. I think I have to for sanity's sake.
Grace--WOW! That is something that he gained such notoriety in the end. Kind of cool, eh?
Yes, Hobbes looks up to the task of holding down a piece of turf.
