I announced that I was quitting blogging, and since I announced it on April 1st, a lot of people thought it was a joke. It is not. I am quitting. I just don’t have a timeline for when I’ll quit, yet.
So just to give you notice. I’m going to continue blogging as normal, but one day you won’t see me update and that’s because I’m gone forever.
…Though it could just be because it’s the weekend and I don’t usually blog then. Or I was sick. Or I just couldn’t think of anything to blog. But maybe it will mean I’m gone forever. So one day — who knows when — POOF! — gone forever. So enjoy every day of IMAO like it’s its last.
So is this an April Fool’s joke that you’re continuing NOT on April 1st so it’s more convincing?
If you stop blogging, the terrorist win.
Frank, stop playing with your 3DS! It is causing brain damage! The whole thing was a plot by Obama to get your brain rewired. Pretty soon we will start seeing pro-Obama editorials and then “poof” you will be gone! Do you find yourself in the room with the curtains shut looking outside for strange guys in black SUV’s? That’s the 3DS working on the paranoia center of your brain. When you find yourself at police headquarters naked as a jaybird accused of flashing the neighbor, you will know that the 3DS has full control!
Always suspected you would leave us in a poof.
I still hope your kidding. But the stress of work and family life. I guess something has to give. Good luck in all your aspirations, I wish for all your hopes and dreams to be fulfilled.
GodSPeed Frank.
Long live IMAO
It true, too bad. I have enjoyed lurking around you site.
You’re breaking up with us? No, I forbid it!
Or you could be dead.
That was what caused me to stop blogging.
I got better, so maybe I’ll start up again.
P.S. I hope that, when the timeline comes together, it’s got a date like March 31, 2075, or something.
Maybe I should quit reading IMAO now and avoid the rush.
Aw Frank, but where will we get updates and cute pictures of Buttercup if you quit blogging? You can’t do that to us!
So Frank if you quit blogging, Basil had better become a lot funnier.
If you quit blogging, who is going to properly torture leftists?
I cantz live with noz LOLTerroritz
Eh, Harvey’s funny, We’ll miss you uh, uh, uh, Oh yeah! Frank!
One of these days, and it won’t be long,
The angels in heaven done signed Frank’s name,
You’ll be looking for him but he’ll be gone,
The angels in heaven done signed his name.
Hope this is just due to a phase of the moon (which hasn’t been nuked yet).
‘Need to spend more time with my (biological) family’. Frank is focused on literally, I know it sounds like a trite phrase, but literally, ‘Winning! The Future’.
Quitters never ‘Win The Future’.
…..Or aliens abducted Frank.
…..Or Frank got raptured.
…..Or Frank spontaneously combusted.
You always know how to remind me of my own mortality, Frank J.
This is Frank’s way of admitting that we bullied him into doing what we want.
We own you, Frank! We own you!
You know….I thought I was wrong once but it turns out I was mistaken….
Yeah? Well, permission denied, Frank.
Please don’t quit blogging on a Wednesday; we need the LOLOBAMA pictures.
Hmm… …I wonder if this announcement will have an effect on the 2011 “Spaddie” awards. Time will tell.
There’s plenty of trashy blogs and newspapers out there on the internet (think Huffpost and such). What we have here is a rare haven of political cleverness and prickly personalities honed to provocative perfection. Don’t ever let IMAO fall by the wayside and leave us with naught but the leftist trash that so saturates this nobel internet.
Easy fix for you Frank, just teach Buttercup to use the computer then she can help you post when you don’t have time. :p
So enjoy every day of
IMAOthe Obama nightmare like it’s its last. Cuz the way things are going, it just might be.But then we wouldn’t have
Dick NixonFrank Fleming to kick around any more!!Frank, you yourself know that the reason we’re all here is that we just can’t quit you.
But the feeling isn’t mutual??
Harumphf!! This calls for more commenting! Later.
Be serious, Frank.
You’re not quitting.
The End.
What would you do instead? Besides, the 2012 campaign season just started! Think of all the material!
But, if you quit what would you do? I mean, you’d just be some weird looking guy who’s raising Harvey’s child, with no outlet to express your feelings about the democrats and their ongoing plan to end civilization as we know it. What fun would that be?
well, crap.
Maybe that’s what that date, December 21st, 2012! is all about!
Maybe those Mayans knew something we don’t. That when Frank J quits blogging, our world will end! How did they know?
Don’t do it Frank! At least not on that date. I really don’t think I could deal with both you quiting and the world ending on the same day.
But alas, our fate awaits.
Is this just a metaphor? We will all quit blogging one day. It is how we are built.
The reason I never started a blog was I kept thinking, “What happens when I quit?”
Frank, if you quit the innertubes would never be quite the same. But I wouldn’t blame you.
Burn-out is 2 things.
1) It sucks.
2) Sarah’s realizing, “Aw, my Frankie Wankie is finally growing up!”
If you were on Mars you’d be saying, “Hey man, I got 5 kids to feed!”
You’ve got a family to take care of which takes a whole lot of brain frying energy.
It’s not particularly easy to be funny & creatively spontaneous when you’re exhausted from diaper fumes.
But I’ve read you long enough to know that the funny bone is ingrained in you. You can’t give up cold turkey.
And you’ve got your PJM gig that eats up time too. And those are funny reads in themselves.
Anyway, what was I saying? Oh yeah, stay outta my booze!
Sorry, Townhall gig, not PJM. Or is it both?
As a long time lurker, I congratulate you for bailing. Not because family matters (what are you, a responsible Christian or something? meh,) but that your funny just doesn’t measure up anymore. No, I expect the detritus to move on to even worse things like Ace ‘0 Spades or (shudder) Iowahawk.
Adios and vaya con Dios, amigo.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO AMERICA NEEDS YOU!!!
AT LEAST UNTIL THE MOON IS RIDDLED WITH LARGE CRATERS FROM NUCLEAR MISSILES..
Well, poop…
Where would we go to get our 2012 election news? Eh, though I suppose raising you and Harvey’s child would be a full time gig.
Just as well – I shouldn’t be sitting here reading this right now anyway – I gotta go take a haircut.
Frank, I feel like crying like a baby. Well I’m going to miss your writing for sure when this happens. But I understand it has to do with so many years the same thing and then God’s grand plan came spiraling into your life and you deserve all good things. Today I cried anyway because I was mean to a guy I love. I felt terrible I was so b —y. Then I read your anouncment. I am sadder, but I know your nuclear light might sputter out slowly so I will read every last drop or radiation but like I said I understand, and your baby is beautiful and utterly charming. You deserve all that. And they deserve your time !
Son of Bob’s right, Frank, and you know it. Liberals will continue to piss you off, but you won’t have an outlet. You’ll get tremendous rant constipation. The pain will be excruciating, and you’ll wish we were still here.
Worse, I won’t have anyone with whom I can share the joy of an Iowa class battleship.
Other than that, know that I wish the three of you the best in all you do, and and I’m grateful for the laughs that help keep me sane.
There’s a rumor around that Frank responds to money.
But I prefer donations “in-kind” so I, for one, am buying him sick medicine. That’s my contribution.
A 10-pound sack of Idaho potatoes. Remember, he’s 1/2 Irish. So he can lick half the bag, and SarahK and eat the other half!
(Keep going with IMAO, Frank. You know it keeps you focused. Besides, as Veeshir would probably advocate: Why miss blogging “the funniest end to civilization, ever!”)
Fine! Quit, you quitting quitter!
Heh. Quitter is a funny word. Quitter.
Ok, fine! I’ll buy a damn t-shirt.
It is a leftist conspiracy! Someone from Obama’s Secret Police has infiltrated the site already and started deleting my comments for no apparent reason. I’m not a potty mouth, or a Russian Spai! Honest! I think someone’s out to get me… >.>
Ok, so it seems its my computer that’s been infiltrated by OSP (Obama’s Secret Police), not the site. It momentarily prevents me from seeing things, then makes them appear only after doing so would make me look stupid. Very clever Obama…
You can’t quit! I need the sweet, sweet blog money to pay for my scrapbooking habit!
I refuse to buy in to this transparent attempt to extorte loyalty from us, your faithful readers. I will continue to read this blog just because you want to make us think we won’t be able to. Even when you quit, I’ll still read, just because you try to tell me I can’t. So there.
<Ok, fine! I’ll buy a damn t-shirt. Thread winner.
Or how about this – if you quit, we will start a “Frank J is the Joe Biden of the Internet” campaign. Just try to sleep with that hanging over your head.
Way to go SarahK! With your vote, FrankJ won’t dare quit!
I can’t believe you all are taking Frank literally for once. He just said he isn’t blogging forever, not that he’s out of here tomorrow. Youi forget, we control the bacon supply!
SarahK has spoken, and thus it will be so.
No! No! Please no! I’ll kill myself!
