Noodles pulls the plug
Noodles, one of the original MOBsters at Peoples Republic of Minnesota recently announced his retirement or at least a summer hiatus. Alas, I see the site is now gone, with some squatter having immediately taken his URL. My old Blogger URL was similarly grabbed by some sort of sex site. (I disavow any connection.)
Noodles and his site hold an honored place in my own site's history. His and Jo's Attic were the two blogs that inspired me. I have yet to find a better way to say this, but I said at the time, if they can do it, why can't I?
Jo has moved on, leaving the site to some deranged relatives, but it's still out there and I still check on DrJonz and the gang.
Noodles (and Macaroni Penguin), thanks for inspiring me to get started. I'm approaching the two year mark, and really have enjoyed the recreational and intellectual experience of it all. I know it gets easier near elections, when the pols and MSM give us so much material to work with. And I know it gets harder to be creative during the summer, when everyone's mind is at the beach or near the grill. But I still enjoy it, and I owe much to Noodles for that.

Maybe Noodles will one day return as well.

You are right you can always start again but you could have put up a header that you were on assigment or in the witness protection program. That way you could have saved that damn cool blog name. Make sure you and Noodlette make appearances at MOB events though!
Rex - Considering you can actually write I have always been flattered that I could have inspired you. Glad you kept it up.
