My favorite place. Good luck man.
MM
yeah mine too.
Best of luck. You've been a real hoot, and thanks for everything. Sorry to see you hang it up. Now where can I vent my angry white male rage? DrakeD
Sad day in Mudville.
Do you mean it this time? ;-)
I don't think I have a choice this time, AO. Like I said, exigencies.
What a lousy way to start a week. I am truly bummed out by this.
Still, as grownups, we all understand exigencies, and ya gotta do what ya gotta do.
Hope to see you back soon.
Thanks for the great site while it lasted. I will always hope to find you again. My favorite.

Dang Rodger.This is sudden and excruciating,like a heart attack...Well I wish you nothing but the best pal.Sure has been intertaining and educational.Met a lot of real nice and very bright folks here at C&S. If you set up shop again in another place,hope you'll let us know.Maybe we'll here from you from time to time over at SondraK's....So long my friend.
anyone care to recommend their second favorite blog like this? ... though this place is in a class by itself and will be sorely missed
WTF Rodger? I hope it's for a shitload of money, and not something bad. See you in two weeks.
Casca
You rock my world and I will miss your work more than you know. A great voice in the "new media", you will not be easily replaced.
Happy Trails.
Admiringly,
Donna L.
i am simply stunned. god Bless and look for the beer money. your admirer
Say it ain't so King Roger.
I'm really sorry to see you go man. My list of dormant/dead blogs is getting almost as almost as long the must-read list.
I do pray that whatever exigencies are involved resolve themselves and you can resume enlightening the world again.
I too am open to suggestions. I've yet to find another place with anywhere near the same shall we say visual impact.
WTF??!?!?!?!?!?!!??!?!??!?!!??!?!!?!?
now who's gonna scrub the showers???!?!?
e-C
Big bummer. Thanks for all your past efforts, they were appreciated. Good luck.
Thanks for the good times Rodger, I will miss you. I will miss this site. Good Luck, and God Bless you and your family. Paul C.
Bugger, I will miss this site. Thanks for all the laughs.
Vaya Con Dios Rodger.
unclemike
Losing you is as much a loss as when Steve DenBest and Toren Smith stopped posting. I will really miss your posts.
Good luck and I hope life will be good to you
I always wondered what the man behind the blog looked like. Thanks for attaching a photo of yourself to this final post! :)
I do hope and pray only the best for you and your's. Thanks for the great reads over the years. In advance:
Merry Christmas, Happy New Year!!
p.s.
My husband begins retirement today. Our days are about to change also.
So that's what that post with the pix of "shut happens" was all about, eh? A warning shot across the bow?
And now this?
I am truly saddened to see you give it up. DAMN! I'd visit several times a day just to see what was new.
Now my favorite blog is finito.
DAMN!
Best of luck, Rodger. Go get rich.
VIlmar
Sorry to see you go. I really enjoyed the site.
I hope it all works out for you. The next time you are in my area, stop by and have a cup of coffee.
Daggonit Rodger, I never got to strafe the fleeing liberals as you pulled the B-52 off a bomb run on SanFransicko.
Many thanks for a great ride though. Your pics and especially your commentary have been funny, educational and thought provoking (I mean that in a good way of course) Now I'm going to go fetal position in a corner and suffer withdrawal from the best all around blogsite there is.
May your all your exigencies turn out well for you and yours.
God bless you my friend.

Thanks for all the laughs, hmmmmmms, wtfs, omgs, etc. You will be missed! Now how will I start my day? I guess I'll have to get used to viewing my screen without coffee spots dribbling down.......
Best wishes to you and yours...
LM
Thank you for the service you provided. You touched many and kept us from loosing it by giving us a place to vent. Crap Rodger, you were my first. Ha! See ya at SondraK's occasionally, I hope.
GenCpl Rilerite = MitchM
Thanks for everything Roger and the best of luck to you. Hopefully we'll see you again some time in the future.
Best of luck Rodger, you'll never know how much your wit has entertained and challenged. Hope to see you back soon.
I feel the same way as the gang on the last episode of Cheers... They closed the bar? Now where do we go?
STG, Rodger, your place is my favorite spot on the web and I'm really, REALLY going to miss you and your clever wit and corrosive vitriol. You can be a real bastard when you set your mind to it, and I mean that in the nicest way possible!
I hope this "new opportunity" you speak of brings you a MoSup great happiness and success!
Meanwhile, I'll mosey over to SondraK's place and lurk there... maybe we can talk her into doing an occasional rollover? I'll be on my best behavior.
So thanks, Rodger, for everything. You're a hero.
--Jack
I'll miss this place. I was just getting comfy here...God Bless
I'm damned sorry to see you go, Roger. Best of luck to you.
Sgsaur
Just damn, Rodger! Just when I was starting back blogging too. Hell, if you stay, I'll let you use "nipple whisperer™"
How do I change my 'favorites list' to 'exigencies'? There goes the neighborhood. If you needed bail money, Bonzo Livermore finked out, again?
mjslack
You're still my hero Rodger!
thanks for all the laughs and some of the rage.
jr
Good luck Rodger! Thanks for the laughs --- if I know anything, it's that you won't stay away for long!
Roger,
I will miss your blog, and eagerly await when you return in one capacity or another. Thank you for a lot of laughs.
I used to live in AAC for half of my life. I still recognize allusions to the area. I hope your exigencies carry you to a more gun-friendly state as mine did.
Engineer_Jim
Dittos to pretty much what everyone else has said. I'm gonna miss you sorely, Rodger. Now what am I going to do with this computer thingy?
GrinfilledCelt
Well, fooey! Calm seas and following winds, Roger.
Thank you Rodger, for the laughter, the anger, the joy and the sorrow.
But mostly, thank you for being you and for being my friend.
You will be hearing from me.
I hope I will hear from you.
Sigh...no reason to turn the computer on any more...
Best to you Rodg in all your endeavors!
Tom
Aw, he'll be back. He's drawn to blogging like a priest to a cub scout meeting.

Well sh**. And two is eight.
Best to you in your changing life; and best to us in ours.

Thanks for the ride Rodger. You will be sorely missed. This was my go to blog. Now what to do??
Hopefully you're just taking some time off to brush up your skills in the B52.
Oh! Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!
I'll miss you so!!!!
Stepperg
Let's just keep this simple.. I'm very sad nad sorry to see my favorite leave the scene. The past several years here have given me some of the most thought provoking material ever.
My God bless you and yours.
David "Cannon Man" Steele, Fort Wayne Ind.
Well, I guess I will have to start a blog of my own. It will be structured to copy what was the best blog on the internet, yours. The only thing it will be missing is the wit, wisdom, style, content, educational and entertainment that came from yours.
Of coarse after your blog, nobody will visit mine because it sucks. Bastard!!!! Don't leave us. We don't want to be blog orphans.
Bastard!!!!
chuckintacoma
You have done this to me before. I cant take the withdrawal again. Thanks for every word and picture that graced the face of this site.
See ya round.
MooPoo
!!! Can't add anything that hasn't already been said. You have made my world a better place. Thanks so much Rodger, and may the grace of god be with you.
What Casca said (bucketful of money). Damn, I'm going to miss your site. All the best.
Morenuancedthanyou
Thanks for being a great part of my daily round of blogs; C & S will certainly be missed. Best of luck in your new ventures.
Best of luck Rodger. I've been lurking here for quite a while. I'll miss your attitude.. it's pretty close to my own.
Magy
Thank you, thank you, you are going out on top and we're gonna miss you and all that crap. Thaaats Alll Folks!
Thanks very much for helping us keep our sense of humor while others were losing theirs. Best
It was great while it lasted.
All the best to you Rodger.
Take it easy Rodge. Even though I never found myself commenting, I read every morning and every night.
Excremento.
Let us know ( one one of our blogs ) if, in the future, you are going to blog under a new pseudonym.
Well, Putangina! Ano'ng gagawin ko ngayon?

Dang, this is a crappy thing to see. Gonna miss ya big time Rodge. This is my number one funniest place on the internets. Life's not going to be the same without you.
>>>
WTF, RODGE???!!!!!
Now what am I going to do with my mornings???!!!! *SIGH* A sad day...
Feelings are strange
especially when they come true
and I had a feeling
you'd be leaving soon
so I tried to rearrange
all my emotions
but it seems the same
no matter what I do.
Chorus:
Blue umbrella
rest upon my shoulder
hide the pain
while the rain
makes up my mind
well, my feet are wet
from thinking this thing over
and it's been so long
since I felt the warm sunshine
just give me one good reason
and I promise I won't ask you any more
just give me one extra season
so I can figure out the other four.
Day time
makes me wonder why you left me
night time
makes me wonder what I said
next time
are the words I'd like to plan on
but, last time
was the only thing you said.
Chorus:
well, now...don't that just suck?
But, man, I understand...
The mornings just won't be the same Rodger, thanks for being there for us. I understand and hope you'll reconsider down the road. Meantime God Bless!!!
Well, crap!
Good luck, man!
Goodbye and thanks for all the fish. May your journey in the future be smooth and sweet. Enjoy and farewell.
It's all my fault, isn't it? Sorry. :-(
10-4 Good Buddy, See ya' on the Flip Flop. Watch out for Smokie and them Pregnant Roller Skates.
Thanks for the laughs .. have taught my wife, family and friends to recognize the name 'Terpsboy' in the subject line and know that I was forwarding a good photo-shop and/or a joke. Best to MoSup, too.

damn. double damm. you know I wish you all the best, my friend, but you'll sure be missed. my morning cup of coffee will be that much less now.
this has been one damned special place and voids like this can't be filled. fare thee well, fellow wanderer, and thanks.
Ohhh,,this is JUST UNACCEPTABLE!!!!!
Damn, ruined my whole day. Really gonna miss ya.

"Til we meet again!....." You have been my favorite blog. Period.

I don't talk much, only lurk and read. Every day starts here and ends here. I'm truly sorry to see you hang up the sword - return if you can.
Burgie
Rodg,
Just when I thought I was so jaded and cynical that I could weather anything, along comes Shut Happens. What a kick to the balls this is.
My fav blog to try to sneak in a comment either funny or provocative. And to read others who are much better at it.
But mostly, you are a True Master of the Art of Blog.
It was easily a year before I stopped clicking on den Beste. I suspect C&S will hear my forlorn knock equally as long.
Stay well Rodg.
PS We'll still carry on the good fight. Hillary will not become president while you're in our world.
Crap! My computer is down for two days and you go and do this?
You made me chuckle on many a bad day and think a couple of deep thoughts in between.
Good luck my friend. Fair winds and following seas...
-embycil
Crap!!! That's all I can say. Crap!!! Yours is the first place I go to everyday.
Best of luck Professor. G-d love ya!
So, who is going to be the guy to make sure Hillary doesn't get elected?
We're going to miss you. Well, I guess I can go back to reading SondraK. But it won't be the same.
Rodge, you are the greatest. Was never disappointed with a visit here. The best to you and thanks for the great site.
I wish you the very best Rodger.
You'll be sorely missed.
Rob
Rodg, Have I told you, I love you lately? First BSNN!Now this!
I never could figure out how you and others could devote so much time and effort.You were really good at this blogging thing.
BOAZO
Oh Crap!
Without you to steal one liners and jokes from my wife is going to find out that I'm really not all that funny.
Good Luck and may God Bless,
Damn, the only blog I even read anymore. Please give me a clue where to find the start-over site.
Rodge
This has been my favorite site for a long time. Thanks for all your efforts. Come back soon, please. You'll be missed.
I was always hidden on this site..Was the best Caveman is sad goes and throws a rock at his dog
Anyone looking for a used computer, no need for this to clutter up my desk anymore.
Good luck and good hunting.
Gonna miss ya.
mech
Shattered to read this news Rodger. No site is as funny and unpredictable and suits my sense of humour as C&S does. I still remember when you left FR, that was quite a wrench too! Wishing you all the best for the future and please accept my sincere gratitude for the countless laughs (and rage) you've provoked here. Cheers, Byron
Gaaaah!! I hate the withdrawl symptoms I get when you don't post. Seriously, best of luck to you Rodger. Thank you for the years of great work!
Rats.
I have enjoyed your humor since it was first linked by either hog on ice or cabal of doom. You rock rodger. I mean the squirell catupult was the greatest thing ever. I laughed about that for at least a week, and still chuckle everytime I see a squirell.
Best of luck man, but please say it aint so, and your just pulling our legs.
No matter what you are a great blogger with a great sense of humor.
Rodger, this is almost as distressing as my kitten dying last week.
Geezus...
Rog! You know we are all lost without you. I hope your ER's aren't too bad and we get you back soon. Until then we will all be waiting at the barn.
Fare well and thanks for the laughs and a place to vent.
Here we go again...
Godammit Rodger, get yer meds refilled and get back to yer keyboard!!!
How the fuck do you expect us to survive without your expert wit and PS skills?!?!
*wiping tears from eyes*
You better get back to me on how that fried chicken recipe turns out in yer pressure cooker!
Yeh.
Whut the rest of them said.
Truly enjoyed the site; sort of like me, if I had time. And talent.
Steered me to some really good other sites, SondraK, Wild Thing and others, exchanged comments and insults with some of the best people on earth.
(sniff.)
First thing in the morning.
Last thing at night.
Now just an empty middle of the day with no beginning and no end.
Hate seeing you go, but you gotta do what you gotta do.
Hope you're back soon, rested, refreshed, and even more cantankerous!
Till then, may the wind be always at your back, and the road rise to greet your feet.
Denis
Darn, damn! NO this is horrible. I am so sorry Rodger for whatever the reason is.
Thank you for the best mornings around the cybertown. The best laughs and no one has existed that has a way of saying it like you do to make a point. The best thing of all is your friendship, it means so very much to me. You have made a difference in my life and I cherish our laughter and sincerity.
Love ya Rodger!
I have never commented here before. I been reading this site for a long time and it's one of my top 5. Sure will miss you.
Hope you have time on the way out to fire up the B-52 and take a few cities with you.
Jim in Monroe.
Long Live the "Real King of France!"
Withdrawal is a real bitch. Lord, give me strength. :))
Seriously, I am very, veru moved by your comments. *snif*
Jeepers. I will miss you!
I am spoiled by the great stuff I saw here every single day for the last year or so I have been lurking.
I applaud your genius and thank you.
He'll be back after the fall grape stomping is done.
Casca
I'm going to miss your site. You are the master of photoshopped rollovers and also making the hildabeast appear uglier than she really is (I would not have thought that to be possible)
Anyway, I want to wish you the best of luck in whatever you plan to be doing.
cg
This ain't funny,Rodg.
I lurk here twice a day,everyday.
This ain't funny at all.
Poletax
I can't believe it Rodger. You are the reason the internet was invented. By far the best web site going. You will be missed more than you can ever imagine. Thanks for the great ride; God Bless and good luck.
Well that sure frosts the ol' pumpkin.
What the others said, in spades.
Thanks, good luck.
Cheers!
What a kick in the gut. I haven't felt like this since the last time you threatened to quit blogging. We managed to beg, plead and prod you back but when you say "exigencies", it sounds serious. I'm gonna miss you, bud. This was the first and often only page I would hit. God bless.
Hell Rodger, another favorite bites the dust. Hope you come back sometime. Take care and God Bless in what ever you do. BTW, love that picture!
I felt the need to do it so here ya go folks. I posted a little tribute for Rodger over at my site...
"Roger's Dream: A Near Reality"
I'll just look in real quick and see if anybody's around.....HELLO!..hello..ello..lo..o......Dangit....MISS YALL..miss yall..iss all..ll...............
nooooooooooooooooooooo Don't leave me! My headshrinker says I've been doing so well! Without this site I... I...
I only think of me. I can't imagine what would cause you to give this up. Bless you Rog, I've often wished to meet you face-to-face, perhaps I shall not give up on that just yet.
Like I said, someday there will be a footnote in history books about the rebirth of American Liberalism which will tell the tale of the influence of the Internet and blogs (just as the photostatic copy machine was instrumental in the fall of the USSR) and C&S will be mentioned in that footnote. In the history books. Best
Roger - I'll miss this site. God Bless and all the best in your new pursuit.
Haha JMcD! I've done the same thing at least a dozen times today to see if Rodger changed his mind and came back!!
He was right- withdrawal is so hard. Maybe I'll go back through the archives and re-read them all to wean myself.
TFV
Holy crap Rodge! Where did you get that picture of me?
Can I say "AW DARN?
You can't do that! Too many people wake up looking forward to you every day.
Don't you get enough traffic to get paying ads? That shoe guy makes $100,000 a year for god sakes.
Rodger,
Does this mean that you are starting an 'exploratory committee' to 'test the waters' in your bid to replace Steny Hoyer? You know, he ran unopposed here in Calvert County.
Just say the word and I'll be more than happy to be your campaign manager on the 'Milton Friedman' platform.
Godspeed and may the best days of your past be the worst days of your future.
I will miss you Mr. Schlong, you do what is best for you.
I already miss the blog so much I'm coming back just to read the farewell comments.
With a tear from my eye--mary
send me your e-mail and if I ever start a super secret blog I'll tell you.
You already have mine. Will you let me know, too?
Tim
C&S fans have certainly come out of the woodwork, haven't they?
I have a suggestion. How about if one of you start a C&S message board. Personally, I don't have the skills to set up and run such a thing, but I'll bet at least one of us does. We could all post our own finds so there wouldn't be any pressure on Roger to "perform". I've been looking for such a place for a while now but no luck. Seems to me that we have a ready made group of right minded people here to get it off to a good start.
GrinfilledCelt
Thanks for the memories, PeckSniff.
You have always been my favorite, from back to the spoon days.
Spunky
My favorite sight!!!
Dang, go hunting for a week and poof!
I even took some pictures for you.
Saw lots of ptarmagin (the kids shot their heads off with a .41 mag and a .30-06) they taste like steak, BTW.
Saw two Golden Eagles- HUGE and beutiful, They won't stoop to begging for fish like the Baldies in Seldovia.
Gonna miss your fine work!
RAK
Sorry to hear about your kids, RAK. My condolences. The rest of that sounds like fun.
GrinfilledCelt
Best wishes Rodger. Thanks for everything.
RKV
I keep checking back here...
hoping...
that this is just another bad dream...
SIGH...
Take it easy Rodge.

Damn! I kept (keep) hoping you're kidding. But, sigh, apparently not.
Damn!
Just...
Damn!

Hey TFV...."He was right-withdrawel is so hard"..........Are we experiencing 'coitus interuptus'?
GrinfilledCelt: It does read that way, yes it does.
Well.... as I have said many times... Rodger was my first
TFV
(blog that is)
I can't bring myself to delete this site from my bookmarks (you were 4th from the top). I will leave it sit in tribute. For those about to stop (bloggin), we salute you.
C'mon Rodger, there's still loads of Chinamen to piss off.
Oh. I take back the offer of your use of "Nipple Whisperer"
What they said.
Damn.
For all y'all who now need a methadone treatment, I can recommend Ace of Spades for the withdrawals.
Damn.
JMcD, no I think it's "Cogitatus Interuptus"

Hahaha...Right Mitch and we don't need much of that.
