No new Dave Berry (Bummer alert)
Self | 10/20/04 | JusticeTalion

Posted on 10/20/2004 1:06:17 PM PDT by JusticeTalion

Just saw a crawl on the Fox News channel that says Dave Berry is taking some time off from his Pullitzer prize winning column. He is expecting to return to it in 2006. Bummer. His is truly great stuff. Time to break out the early columns for our weekly Berry fix, I guess.

God bless our troops wherever they may be.

I hope he's writing another book. His books (those that are not just a collection of columns) are great! And, they're coffee-table size.

I have several of his books.

Among a few of my very favorites is "Restrooms And Other Resorts".

Great read!

Funniest Dave Barry column, ever:

His article about the potato gun still makes me laugh! What a hoot. I hope he enjoys his time off and comes back loaded for bear.

Dave Berry is taking some time off from his Pullitzer prize winning column. He is expecting to return to it in 2006.

Some time off? Some time off is "He is expected to return in the middle of November".

NO!!! This is the worst news of the day. Dave Barry is my hero! (Really, I'm not being facetious here. I've read every one of his books.) Looks like I'll have to take out my frustrations by giving noogies to Kerry supporters.
