About: On vacation: Here’s a postcard we picked up on the way

  • This is the image we found when we did a Google Images search for “Vacation Postcard Grand Rapids.” Even though it’s 100 percent inaccurate (Grand Rapids is in Michigan), we’re gonna run with it. We’re taking the next four days off. Back Monday night. In case you miss us guys a little much, check out our newest AOL News article about Queen Elizabeth’s money problems. Which also has nothing to do with Oklahoma. source

About: We’re taking a break for a couple of days. Be back soon.

  • We love you guys, but we need a break. We’ve been posting on ShortFormBlog for over a year straight. The last day we missed was Feb. 2, 2009. And well, we have a good flow. But for purposes of our own mental health, we’re taking a break starting tonight, lasting until tomorrow, likely to be broken Sunday morning (something about a health care vote) and unbroken until Monday. We love you guys, but we think our posting quality will go up after a day or two off. (thanks Columbusneon for the image) source
  • Edit: We plan on posting today (Sunday, March 21) about nothing BUT health care. Everything else (including Ben Folds doing Chatroulette, which is hilarious) is off-limits today.
