Where the hell is Wolcott?
Saturday everything below his two most recent posts had been truncated.
Very creepy. Very "Where's the rest of me?!" [Ronald Reagan, KINGS ROW (1942).]
I assumed it was some kind of EOF marker SNAFU (Step right up. Two acronyms; no waiting) or a pointer had gone quietly mad, but I never thought he would fall off the end of the Internet.
James?
Are you there, James?
Or have you finally achieved that state of pure, literary samurai energy. Spark-gapping like God's own Synapse on transports of adjectives never heard by the ears of Men to a different plane of existence.
A better Plane. A Plane...with no Snakes whatsoever.
To..
"...softly and suddenly vanish away,
And never be met with again!”
Man, it would suck hard ice if my favorite Snarker has gone all Boojum on me.
But in the event you've snuck into the Pantheon for drinks, for Chrissake...
Slip us a post
from the Great Writer Beyond
And tell us how Voltaire
is getting along.
And how wild is Wilde
Now that he's nothing but class.
Is Hunter Shark Hunting
Nixon's worm-eaten ass?
Did hitting the dirt
Really mess with Poe's head?
And does Bill the Shakes
Know how well he's still read?
Tell every scribe there
That we love 'em a lot
And they'd better not fuck
With our pal, Jim Wolcott.

I thought it was my computer. Glad I'm not alone, however, what am I to do without Wolcott?
Come, listen, my men, while I tell you again
The five unmistakable marks
By which you may know, wheresoever you go,
The warranted genuine Snarks
Let us take them in order. The first is the taste,
Which is meager and hollow, but crisp:
Like a coat that is rather too tight in the waist,
With a flavor of Will-o-the-wisp.
"Its habit of getting up late you'll agree
That it carries too far, when I say
That it frequently breakfasts at five-o'clock tea,
And dines on the following day.
"The third is its slowness in taking a jest.
Should you happen to venture on one,
It will sigh like a thing that is deeply distressed:
And it always looks grave at a pun.
"The fourth is its fondness for bathing-machines,
Which is constantly carries about,
And believes that they add to the beauty of scenes--
A sentiment open to doubt.
"The fifth is ambition. It next will be right
To describe each particular batch:
Distinguishing those that have feathers, and bite,
And those that have whiskers, and scratch.
"For, although common Snarks do no manner of harm,
Yet, I feel it my duty to say,
Some are BOOJUMS--"
Thanks for this post. I've been trying to access Wolcott for a couple of days-- at first it was truncated posts then just a blank page. Like the other anonymous said, I thought it was just me. Come back, James!

First Fafblog, now Wolcott -- it's a conspiracy!
Well damn,that sucks.And it's creepy too.I hope nothing is wrong.
Hmmm...I've posted many times about those Vicious Attack Internets (they have eaten my blog a couple times already.)
Plus I suspect they have eaten faf too!
What is zooming the Internets Highway coming to?
And who has PIE? (They gets distracted by PIE Bloggin Fridays.)
"Shark-hunting Nixon's worm-eaten ass..."
You mad, mad, man, you! :o) :o)
give 'em time, sometimes real life takes precedence..
"'Where's the rest of me?!' [Ronald Reagan, KINGS ROW (1942).]"
he'll be saying the same thing again, should he come to, inside that frigidaire® mausoleum/hat box he calls internment....

kevronius,
I thought he was in a glass dealie. Like Lenin, except you have to keep feeding quarters into the slot.
anon,
real life always takes precedence, but everything is gone. Not just new stuff that's missing, but archives. Ads. Logo. And that ain't right.
tanbark,
Thanks amigo. Inside my head its always amusing :-)
Karen McL,
It is a mystery. And, yes, pie sounds good right about now.
But when doesn't it?
eddie blake,
Ah. Another fan of Carrolling.
I found Walcott! I found Walcott! Is on teh 2,347,845th layer of that damn webpage you have linked above. He's trying to find the bottom.
Okay, I retract. It's not normal.
It's definitely weird.
Probably it's just some bugaboo in the matrix over yonder at VF, but still...
olley olley oxenfree James!
gitchyer ass in here and tell us where you've been! (and whipe that smirk off your face young man)
He's baaaaaaaack!
