It's frozen, Siouxie. Put your PC in the microwave on high for two minutes.
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | January 03, 2008 at 11:17 AM
ahhhhhhh...that would splain it.

Wait, you commented on it already. How did not see it?
Posted by: Elon Weintraub | January 03, 2008 at 11:28 AM
I finally thawed it out and submitted a question.
Posted by: Siouxie | January 03, 2008 at 11:33 AM
Cool! Dave is having a chat! Will Gene Weingarten be there?
Posted by: Guin | January 03, 2008 at 11:34 AM
Crap. Why didn't you put this up earlier, judi? I don't have time to read it now. If Dave finds out, you're gonna get fired.
Posted by: SW | January 03, 2008 at 11:35 AM
Yay, Dave is having a chat! Will Gene Weingarten be there?
Posted by: Guin | January 03, 2008 at 11:39 AM
SW, the Post archives their chats for a couple of weeks. You'll be able to read it later.
Posted by: Guin | January 03, 2008 at 11:40 AM

Are you sure Dave can make it due to the current weather conditions?
Posted by: Meditrina | January 03, 2008 at 12:00 PM
He can always work from home.
Posted by: Elon Weintraub | January 03, 2008 at 12:01 PM
At first I thought this was a (mildly rude and not quite safe for work) madlibs thing.
Posted by: danceswithvowels | January 03, 2008 at 12:19 PM
He's blogging now. Answered Annie's question too!!
YAY Annie!!
Posted by: Siouxie | January 03, 2008 at 12:26 PM

Siouxie from the frozen south ( Miami): What do you think about global warming now???
Dave Barry: I want it to come back to Miami.
Posted by: Siouxie | January 03, 2008 at 12:28 PM
He's coming to NH tomorrow!!!!

No fair! Annie got two questions. That no good, conniving, little, yellow livered...
Posted by: Elon Weintraub | January 03, 2008 at 12:39 PM
dave did not have a chance to answer my final question:
why is everyone so obsessed with your hair and the color of your shirt? why don't they focus on your rock-hard abs of steel?
or maybe he didn't answer it because he's so modest.
Posted by: judi | January 03, 2008 at 01:09 PM
One hour?! Man, Weingarten kicks his ass.
Posted by: gfunksizzle | January 03, 2008 at 01:12 PM
You know, of course, that some people will read his column and think things actually occurred as written during 2007. Those would be the people who were drunk most of 2007...
Posted by: Kathybear | January 03, 2008 at 01:24 PM
How far back does people's obsession with Dave's hair go back?
Posted by: Steve (The Other Steve) | January 03, 2008 at 01:25 PM
What's this about Dave's back hair?
Posted by: CJrun | January 03, 2008 at 01:30 PM
LMAO judi!!! I would have loved to have seen his reply.
Probably, he'd fire you.
Posted by: Siouxie | January 03, 2008 at 01:30 PM
well, there was a column called "the hair apparent" in Greatest Hits, which came out in 1988. So he probably wrote in 86 or 87. It's one of my favorites :) actually i might try to find that and put it up on the columns page at db.com later today... but anyway, it's been at least 20 years :)
Posted by: judi | January 03, 2008 at 01:31 PM
Dave, I see you failed to note the accomplishments of the Boston Red Sox and New England Patriots in your "year in review". Do you think this will negatively impact your presidential campaign?
Doc Rick - that was SO your question. ;-P

they didn't occur as written?
Posted by: crossgirl | January 03, 2008 at 01:42 PM
judi, and his hair has looked the same ever since.
Posted by: Siouxie | January 03, 2008 at 01:43 PM
cg, of course they did. CJ told me and he never gets drunk.
Posted by: Siouxie | January 03, 2008 at 01:45 PM
The Cheez It sandwich question was mine. I'm so proud.
Posted by: Boo Augustus | January 03, 2008 at 01:49 PM
Boo - I was disgusted. Good job!
Posted by: DeskDiva | January 03, 2008 at 01:52 PM
Sio, I choose not to get drunk. I achieve that by refusing to sober up.
Posted by: CJrun | January 03, 2008 at 02:08 PM
Thanks for the hair story, Judi!
Posted by: Steve (The Other Steve) | January 03, 2008 at 02:46 PM
Ah, well...good interview, guys! You asked awesome, funny questions, and Dave gave his usual funny answers. I missed the interview 'cause I was huddled under blankets in my Miami home waiting for global warming to come back.
I loved the 'digs' at Gene's desk, which from Dave's comments, I assume, is a trifle untidy. (I bed the 'untidy' includes more than his desk, too.)

judi's linky
Posted by: Siouxie | January 03, 2008 at 03:36 PM
Excellent. Just awesome to know Dave isn't fooled for even a second by our nation's leaders, Paris and Brittney.
Posted by: lilrascal | January 03, 2008 at 03:49 PM
judi, that was GREAT!
Posted by: Siouxie | January 03, 2008 at 03:52 PM
Dave, please do a 2008 'PREVIEW'
Posted by: lilrascal | January 03, 2008 at 04:04 PM
*snork*
Too funny, lilrascal!
Posted by: Siouxie | January 03, 2008 at 04:52 PM
So, Punkin, are we going to meet up in New Hamster and stalk Dave or are you too tied up with the little gourdlet these days? Probably he'd be too busy "working" (cough, cough) to have a beer with us anyway.
(By the way, aren't these Miamians a howl, talkin' about how *cold* it is? We got ten below zero here in Beantown with the wind chill factor today, how about you? Dave's in for a real treat when he arrives at the Manchester Airport or wherever.)
Posted by: Jeff Carrie's friend Jean | January 03, 2008 at 05:36 PM
It was a great transcript and a great column, and good to see so many blogits having their questions posted. And the s.b. too, of course. :)
Posted by: Eleanor | January 03, 2008 at 07:14 PM
judi - GREAT link!! I don't think I ever read that one before. Thanks!
Posted by: DeskDiva | January 03, 2008 at 10:23 PM
Did you read this part of the interview? Very cool!!!
Dave Barry: I'm going to be writing more columns this year. I'm going to New Hampshire tomorrow to write about the primary for The Miami Herald, and I'll probably write more about the presidential race after that, because if there's anything more entertaining than the way we choose the president of the United States, I don't know what it is. I'll also be going to China this summer for the Olympics, where I will be competing in the pole vault.
