Robin Williams' Incisive Polit-Wit

Dear Mr. Robin Williams,

We here at If I Blog It They Will Come would like to first apologize for our semi-hiatus over the past two weeks, as we've been busy soaking up both what remains of the summer sun and both political party conventions. Exactly one week ago we came across this clip of you on The Late Show with David Letterman going off about the selection of Sarah Palin as the Republican VP nominee.



Needless to say,we couldn't have said it any better. We were astounded by your humorous and witty take on the situation, but coming from you we would expect nothing less. We here at If I Blog It They Will Come only wish we could be as on point each time we spoke about our quest of getting you to visit our blog and send a photo of yourself doing so to djayek@yahoo.com. It would probably make our task a helluva a lot easier and our site a lot more popular. So we started thinking, maybe if you didn't want to send us the photo we've been asking for just yet, perhaps you might feel inclined to pen us a few lines of incisive wit that we might be able to use to finally get your attention. That way, we're more well versed in just what it takes to catch a Robin WIlliams, or to get a photo of you looking at our blog. What do you say? In any case, we thank you for your time and consideration on the matter.

Sincerely,
The Impressed Folks at If I Blog It They Will Come

The Retreat

Dear Mr. Williams,

May we be the first to say (and if not the first, the 2nd or 3rd, but we will not accept being 4th) that your appearance on the Late Show with David Letterman last night was absolutely priceless. You were so on and had us rolling on the floor. Between your spot on Walter Brennan impersonation and your jokes about the bearded Mr. Letterman resembling a Rabbi and then a certain influential President, we weren't sure which part of the night split our sides the most.

However, once you got to talking about your work in Iraq and with the troops, we listened intently. When you showed the clip of your performance we were shocked when all of the troops did an about face right in the middle of your routine for 40 seconds of bugling or as it was called "the retreat". At first we thought, "how dare they?" but that shock quickly turned to appreciation of their dedication.

That's when we got an idea. What if we held a "retreat" of our own in the form of this post. Since September when we began pursuit of our most recent goal you've basically been in the throes of your own daily routine, but if we were to sound our own horn perhaps you'd be forced to do an about face and stare directly into our midst. Perhaps only then you'll see the true meaning of the hard work and dedication inherent in the work we do here at "If I Blog It They Will Come".

So without further ado, consider this our version of "The retreat" not in that we're running away. It's our 40 seconds of bugle music...won't you please look our way and send us a photo of yourself looking at our blog to djayek@yahoo.com. Thank you so much for your time and consideration. We look forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely,
The Huge Fans of Bugle Music at "If I Blog It They Will Come"

p.s. Those bugles snacks aren't so bad either.

Top Ten Reasons You Should Send Us A Photo of Yourself Looking at If I Blog It They Will Come

Dear Mr. Williams,

We here at "If I Blog It They Will Come" would like to wish you a belated Happy New Year! After celebrating with a ball drop of our own and some illegal fireworks procured south of the border, we are rarin' to go in 2008. While our fireworks may have been entertaining, we imagine they won't be able to compare to the fireworks we're preparing to witness tonight as you welcome back top late night dog, David Letterman from his extended hiatus.

The way we see it, those folks at Worldwide Pants are geniuses. Who else could provide the much needed comic punch to make up for the several months of late night comedy silence we've all been dealing wit for over 2 months. Thanks to the rapid fire comedic mastery of Robin Williams, we're sure to experience almost the exact amount of laughs with one guest than we probably would've over those two months with lesser guests. After all a little Robin Williams goes a long way. That's precisely what attracted us to you as a subject for our bloggery. One photo of you looking at our blog would go a long way towards making our lives complete. We figured if one of our comedic idols admired our persuasive writing chops then all of the hard work would be worthwhile. So what do you say?
