It Appears They've "Gone Drinkin'," Sir

We're taking a quasi-break over the next couple weeks - there will be some new stuff going up over the holidays, but Kim and I's holiday plans preclude posting at the rate to which you've grown accustomed. A shame, cause DC Talk was hankerin' for a spankerin' this week, with cheap shots at Mats and inexpicable "analysis" like "the next seven weeks will go a long way towards determining the Leafs season." O RLY?? Please submit any tips, rants, comments, or wishes below.

Thanks for stopping by to read our site. It's already grown beyond what Kim and I first envisioned as a way to ward off embolisms by expunging our spleens onto the Internet five times a week. We're really grateful that so many people take time out of their lives to come by and read. Thanks especially to the small but fierce band of commenters who come by, and the other members of the Leafs blogosphere, especially PPP, Bitter Leaf, and Raking Leafs, who have been so quick to welcome the new kids up from the minors.

We're coming back in a big way after the break, with new content and perhaps some new features, after my triumphant victory in the Mailbag Quest (check Grimace's last mailbag - and kudos, Richard, on the thoughtful response!), so try to stay in the Cox Bloc habit. Hope you enjoy whatever it is you're doing this year, and don't be a stranger....
