Larry David – On second thought…

From 7 Totally Awesome and Totally True Ways People Quit Their Jobs:

Larry david While a writer for “Saturday Night Live” in the mid-1980s, comedian Larry David continually found his sketches on the chopping block. Fed up with his lack of input, David launched into a foul-mouthed tirade aimed at the show’s producer, Dick Ebersol, resigning in disgust ten minutes before airtime. While that in itself is a pretty impressive resignation, what came next is the stuff of comedy legend.

After spending the weekend lamenting his hasty decision, David returned to work on Monday as if nothing had happened. While his fellow writers were confused as to what he was doing there, Ebersol let David off the hook, and he kept his job. The incident later became the basis for an episode of Seinfeld.

Happy Birthday B&P – Still fun after all these years!

Happy birthday1Way back on March 31, 2002, the first Welcome to Bits & Pieces post appeared.  Posting was sporadic then.  as a matter of fact the first content post wasn’t until April 3rd of that year.  2004 only had a few posts all year, one of which on August 12th, was the first post to have an image in it.  It wasn’t until March of 2005 that I got serious about posting regularly.  (I just noticed that some of those early post’s images are not showing up now. I believe they may be lost for good.)

Well, eight years and 24,655 posts later brings us to today.  It was on January 28, 2008 that B&P moved to it’s own domain that you see today.

 Thanks to all the other bloggers without whom this blog would be all about Gus and Charlotte and hundreds more pictures overlooking the river.  And thanks to you, the loyal readers, some who have been here for years, and to the newest readers who have just discovered B&P.

A special thanks to the readers who comment and have turned B&P into a worldwide little neighborhood.  You make doing Bits and Pieces still fun after all these years!
