Toot.
That's the sound of me blowing my own horn again.
(This was the first instance.)
I've been published in The Boston Herald for a second time. God bless them for being such poor judges of talent that I was able to bamboozle them once more!
This time around, the horn I am tootling is a New Year's Eve party horn. Go, read, enjoy (or, at least, pretend to do so, by leaving a comment that lets them know they have discovered the most spectacular writing talent since Mark Twain fathered Ernest Hemingway.)
(I suppose I should let you know that Mark Twain didn't actually father Ernest Hemingway. I figure if you're gullible enough to buy into the notion that I'm a writer worth paying, you probably need to have such things made unambiguously clear.)
HERE is where you should go to read my latest desecration of the language. My byline will be there someplace.
(However, if you'd like to learn how to draw things, such as the horn at the top of this page which I stole, go to How To Draw Cartoons Online! All in all, I'd say that would be a better use of your time.)
Soon, with a brand new year of idiocy!
(And I'll be back writing some more stuff, too.)

Bon-bons?
Facetious?
I can't help but note that you're taking credit for something that you did while still in 2011.
/sigh
Cheating already!
Happy New Year, darling child of inanity!
Congratulations on the Boston Herald piece. Quite an accomplishment. Your goals are courageous and noteworthy. Someday , somewhere, people will erect a statue in your honor. I'll alert the pigeons. Happy New Year.
I go along with Stephen on this one!!
Ha!
Happy New Year

You're not going to tell us you got paid - for that?
What are you doing at work on a Saturday? Or have you finally hit the big time and bought Internet at home?
Anyway, Congrats! And I really mean that. It's not every day a person can terrorize innocent Bostonians with reruns from his blog. And I thought I was just the privileged one for visiting your blog to read them. I feel small and insignificant now. Pass me a sympathy bon-bon.
What a good way to start the New Year. Certainly bodes well for your future!
You shop once a week!
God bless you.
Happy New Year, my friend.

A fine set of resolutions! Happy New Year, Jim!
Happy New Year to you and your WIFE. May 2012 be full of happiness and good health, good food, good times, good fun, and lots more blog posts, and of course, lots more being published in the Boston Herald. You may like to know that I have occasionally written articles for our local newspaper, but I don't think it has the same circulation as the BH.
woohoo! i like your list. i should start a similar one. though mine will include no tobacco use. i will compensate by having a far greater intake of chocolate than you do.
Ha. Well said, as usual. I have no doubt that you will give your resolutions everything that you have got! Happy New Year! Big hugs. =:]
I'm disappointed. You're on my sidebar as one of the blogs I read, and the title of this post, "Toot" had me expecting something, well, different.
I suppose I was a 12 year old boy in my past life.
Happy New Year! May it be a fantastic one.

I'm with Michelle... what's with the Saturday posting? I'd have missed it entirely if it weren't for Skip.
Nice piece in the Herald. But I have a nit to pick... 7,000 ciggies in the coming years is only a pack a day. Surely you can do better than that? I did, but I'm better now: 365 cigars per year. Sometimes a bit more, but it's hard to keep score.
Still working on the no smoking -or at least "reduced" cigs -but I have to say you sure do know how to pile it on, don't 'cha?
I see you're planning yet another softball season and even planning to be at least 90% more in shape than your teammates too. No wimpering or whining now, come APril and May when those games begin! And finally, congrats on being "published" in the truer sense of the word too. It really was a good piece to read -but then, you rarely disappoint!
Now have a very Happy New Year to you and your dear wife! Peace.
Happy New Year, Suldog.
Happy New Year and congratulations - just off to read the article ~ Eddie
Only 12 bird-flippings? I admire your self-control. . . I've been trying to cut back myself. . .

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to you and your lovely wife.
Loved the Boston Herald piece. Hope you'll survive your resolutions ;-)
We should all live life with such reckless enjoyment. Congrats on your opportunity to inspire all of Boston with your New Year's resolutions. Your post has inspired me to make my own resolution to eat more of what I like(chocolate), rather than more boring fiber.
Here's to another year of Suldog's obvious jokes, maudlin sentimentality, and self-righteous claptrap!
amazing since it frowns on commercialism. I would have thought it would have gone the other way -- are you back to work??The holidays fly by tooooooooooooooooooooofast for me I still want to hold it close..sk
Oh, THAT kind of toot! Toot back atcha.
Why would I even think of commenting on a post that's all about self-promotion?
Well, because I want some attention. That's why.
Congratulations to you, Jim, and to the Herald.
Now that was a fun op-ed! Congrats on the placement!
That was a great piece. They are defintely not poor judges of talent.
Congratulations!
Happy New Year to you.
I dunno. After reading this piece, I think I might be able to make and keep some resolutions too!
You've inspired me.
Truly.
*toot, toot*
Great piece!
Okay now, all I wanted to do was stop by and say Happy New Year. I have now spent approximately 20 minutes reading your recent posts, 5 minutes reading your Boston Herald article, 10 minutes registering with the Boston Herald (honestly, how can so many people already have the name I want to use?) an additional 5 minutes commenting about your op/ed, and 2 minutes wiping laughter tears from my eyes.
If you weren't worth it, I'd be really upset.
Happy new year!

Great job...but then again, aren't they all? :)
Great set of new year resolutions! I enjoyed your article.
Whoo-hoo! Congratulations! I'm off to read and leave my comment, although I think they've already caught on they have a very gifted writer on their hands. Oh, and Happy New Year!
You never fail to make me smile.. and laugh. Thanks for that. :)
