Yeah. Screw all this.

update: Okay. So maybe not a final final moment of unabashed pragmatism…

Dude?
And, by extension, screw all of us.
Yeah, thanks.
I think JWebb wants a refund.
I can name that mildly censored Pink Floyd lyric in three words! “Not Now John” off The Final Cut (awaiting monetary award)!
No, Allah. If I wanted a refund, I would’ve started with the donation I sent your way.
Thanks for everything, Jeff Goldstein.
Is this the untimely end of free ice cream?
I thought that was payment for services rendered, J.
You’re right, Allah. My apologies.
So does this mean we can look forward to lots of abashed anti-pragmatism? I’ll certainly keep an eye out for that.
<zzzziiiipp> “OK, this—line up.”
Turing word: chief—“Hey, chief, did you finish all of this?” “Barely. I don’t think I could’ve done another one.”
I’ve been thinking the same thing lately, but then today I downloaded The Whispers’ 1981 R&B classic, “It’s a Love Thing,” and the next thing I knew I was up off my cynical ass dancing around like a nitwit.
Oh dear.
Shane! Come back, Shane!
Kerouac: “Aw, fuck it. I’ll just drink myself to death at my Mom’s house. I always wanted to die in Florida…”
Thanks Jeff.
It’s been quite an education. Thank you for sharing your gifts.
Hey Allah –
Tell me: do you ever get tired of being a fucking vulture?
Waiting to pounce on Goldstein like a wounded deer, so someone can join you in the “I don’t have any creativity left so it must be the very act of blogging that’s stupid, not a reflection of my limited reserves of creativity and drive?”
And I even tend to agree with much of what you say about burnout. But jesus man, get a life. Have you found a job yet?
ATTENTION ALL BURNOUT VICTIMS: Take a BREAK. Quitting is for pussies.
I have spoken. Let it be so.
Not that I matter, but still…I have spoken and whatnot.
(also known as the “Jeff, no quitting, Mister, you’re too funny and have too much to say, just chill out and blog _when_ you want about _what_ you want and fuck everyone else” post)
Like the man said, thanks for sharing your gifts. And remember, it’s not a crime to stop feeding the fucking birds. We’ll get sustenance elsewhere, but keep a hungry eye out for when you refill the feeders with sunflower seeds — and pie!
YES!!!
More traffic for the rest of us. Over here folks! OVER HERE!
…
This blows.
However, the post may only be the end of the ‘unabashed pragmatism’ series itself, not PW. Yes. That’s what it means. Jeff told me himself.
Didn’t you, Jeff?
DIDN’T YOU, JEFF!!?!!?!?!!?
Hey.Jeff.pleeeezzz … anusol or ozonol … gobs & gobs … but not aurally.
OK. Help me out here.. I took a day off and I think I missed something.
Was that a;
‘Screw all this’ (I’m in a crappy mood and I just felt like sayin that..)
-or-
‘Screw all this’ (I’ve blogged all I want today..I’m stopping and crackin a beer and watchin’ some TV, and goin to bed… )
-or-
‘Screw all this’ (I’m burnt out and need some time away from bloggin.. see ya all in a year or two..or three..)
Oh yeah right.
.
Didn’t the world just buy you a new box in order to feed their pathetic Goldstein Addiction?
You actually bought Pie with the money and now that it’s gone you’re bolting! Cad!
Hmmmmmm ….
My guess is that Jeff is pulling last week’s Ace “I Quit!” Stunt in a desperate bid for ratings. BAM!
well, I, for one, are dumb enough to fall for it. BAM!
btw- Bill, if you’re looking for a good practical joke, do a reverse search on the number Oliver gives you – if it’s not a cell phone, send over a large pizza 45 minutes before he’s scheduled to appear. Include a diet Vanilla Cherry Dr Pepper, if possible
If it is a cell phone, then send it over to Media Matters.
In the spirit of ‘I’d buy that for a dollar’ I’d kick something your way through the PayPal. I’m sure a couple of others would as well.
Cheers …
… ps. one of you still needs to be punched in the nuts before the show, in the alternative you could channel Barry White.
After Ace’s recent joke about quitting, didn’t anybody learn not to assume bloggers are serious when they make statements like this?
Or maybe Goldstein is trying to get the same spike in visitors that Ace got when rumors began to circulate about his quitting…
Later,
bbeck
“I’m goin’ to Montana soon,
Gonna be a dental floss tycoon.
Just me and the pygmy pony!
With my zircon-encrusted tweezers…”
-FZ (rip)
Everybody feels like this sometimes. Time to head out to the firing range and expend at least 500 rounds of your caliber of choice, Jeff.
Jeff…in case I never get another chance, thanks, man. Obviously, I’m hoping you’ll be back soon. Good luck.
…and so, what happens to the Internet radio show?
I hear Fox News is expanding its radio division. Maybe this is Mr. Goldstein’s next step to fame and glory.
Working alongside Sean Hannity… now there’s a nightmare.
Can’t think of anything pithy or amusing to say so just: thanks.
jeff – follow your heart. and THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!!
Thanks for the giggles and this insight and the insightful giggles. Spend some time with Satch, and come around again if the urge strikes.
Damn, and I thought today couldn’t get any worse. Well it’s been fun Jeff. Hope you change your mind soon.
Jeff,
Thanks for everything – the fiction, the laughs, THE HYPOCRICY, the expression GAYPORNCOCKOFLIES (which I will forever think of as one word), the Satchel updates, the word “gambol”, the disturbing mental images of popular figures, the unbelievable (because they were so believable) interviews.
Onward and upward, to bigger and better things.
Take a few weeks off and see if it comes back. If you find something you just have to write about, write it and put it on draft, but stay away. It worked for me. Eh… kinda.
Besides, I have October in the pool.
ACK! I don’t see any fat lady … I need a fat lady.
You write like fire. Anything that sucks energy away from that is a menace.
We await your novels.
Heh.
I think someone’s looking for a “retirement” Instalink.
It ain’t over until Geffner says it’s over.
What Ana said about the fire thing and lots of love.
And symbolic flowers strewn along your path, and pie too so don’t step in it.
It was the cherry pie with crumbly topping that convinced you, wasn’t it?
Um, so dude, like, kin I have yer laptop when you quit?
Do you know how easy it is to disturb a legend with just one character?
Man … I like that update.
ALL HAIL JEFF!
HAIL!
HAIL!
(smiley emoticon thing that I can’t get to work.)
And some sparkly things for his merry men.
whoa… i hope it wasn’t a rather lackluster series of comments i made late last year that contributed to this decision.
i haven’t been reading your site (or anyone’s) regularly lately, due to a buttload of schoolwork and personal junk, but still: ;(
good luck on whatever your next venture (cyber or otherwise) is.
hope you write a book or something some day; you’re a smart and funny guy.
Hey Jeff not to get all serious and all but you’re funny and intelligent and I wish could write as good as you. Good luck on whatever.
Thanks for giving me good laughs many times when I needed a good laugh.
Shizen. Here it’s just my second TIME, man. My timing, not so good—ir would have been worse to not find you at all, sezisezi.
Yeah, like fire. That fits.
