goddamn awesome! congratulations, Bob, I'm looking forward to reading it.

Goddamn awesome for me too!

Will it be available on that Amazon Kindle thingy too?

Congrats Bob! That must be a great feeling! Im going to order asap!

SWEET! Congrats, Bob!

Definitely ordering a copy along with the Morning Awesome mug. GO!

Awesome! Congratulations, Bob!

OK - echoing the Kindle question - I see that it IS available on Kindle - and I have a Kindle (Love it for the most part). However - there's no color with Kindle - just black and white. SO - are there color pictures in the book - or colored charts? So long as its black and white I may change my order to a Kindle edition...

(OTOH - when is the book signing? Cuz - then I'd buy a print copy and would want an autograph!)

(OTO-OH) - I thought that "here" was going to take us to a picture of Bob holding his book. Very disappointed. ;-)

QT

Congratulations! Can't wait to read it.

Thanks, QT! I gave my wife a Kindle for her birthday. She absolutely loves (and I secretly covet) it.

Kudos and huzzah, Mr. The Bob Cesca, can't wait to read it! I will be shoplifting my copy from the neighborhood Bookatoria as soon as it arrives!

^^Just say no to crime, Elvis!

Meanwhile, I posted on Open Left about this landmark achievement:

http://www.openleft.com/viewQuickHits.do#5468

It will be up on my site soon as well! :)

QT

When should I program my TIVO for your first appearance on The Daily Show/Colbert to shill your tome??

Woo-Hoo! Happy birthday, book!

Mr. Cesca: here is my recommendation for your book:

QT

Coolio! I land in Chicago on Saturday... First stop: a bookstore...

Very exciting, Bob! And it's about damn time! You've been such a tease about this whole thing, I thought we were going to have to start thinking up naughty names for you.

I'd like an Audiobook version please.

oh yay! Waves at Bob!

Thanks! And for the record - you're even cuter now, without all the facial hair!

QT

Whoa. What QT said. Dangerously, crushingly hottt.
I can has Video book?

^^Jane, I'm rather too easily pleased. I've been grinning at the picture since it showed up. I think I might have to organize a book signing at my local barnes and noble or something. I've a hunch the picture's a few degrees cooler than the hotness of the man himself.

QT

Congrats Bob! It will be my next book purchase. Best of luck.

"I can has Video book?" Oh, dear Jane...has the hottness affected your typing?

Aw shucks, y'all.

What the hell happened to the beard??

Will be picking up the book as soon as I can.

I can't wait to read it!

I can has video book too?! (I'm with Jane & QT on the hotness.)

Bob Cesca said:

Aw shucks, y'all

Yeah, you're doomed. Now that we know that you're still gorgeous, I'm afraid we're going to be brutal in our compliments. I'm only afraid of what this may do to board cohesion, although you may actually get enjoyment out of the impending cat fights. LOL!

Anyway - shall I take your silence as meaning that it's safe to buy the Kindle version (I won't be missing anything?)

QT

CONGRATS!

Will we see you on Colbert or Daily Show??!!

Anybody know a site we can read it free?
is it any good?
Can I borrow it after you're done?
that a new book in your pocket or are you just glad to see us?
Ahuh, now you expect us all to go buy this table level don't ya?

ty ty be here all week

My mom already pre-ordered it for me as a gift so WOO HOO I'll get it soon.

What's this shit about no facial hair? I only realized (when QT was drooling over it :-) ) that Bob HAD a beard. Don't tell me it's gone. I LIKE beards. Hell, I'll read it anyway. *grumbling*

Congrats, Bob. Can't wait.

And after I post the comment THERE is the picture. No beard. QT I don't see how you can complain, though. Shit, I'm starting to sound like you, girl.

And Jane. And Kat. Oh I give up. Ok, Bob is hot. I never knew this so you can't say I came here for the hottiness but WTF, gravy. An updated daily picture is now in order.

And Mr. The Hot Bob Cesca, if we mail our copy with a postpaid thing to send it back, will you sign your Bobness on it?

Wait - where did you see me complain? He was gorgeous with the beard, he's even more gorgeous without it. I'm only complaining because I can't figure out a good plot to get the man (beard or no) to my local bookshop where I can have a good look at the whole specimen.

(To be fair - we only had that tiny black and white on HuffPost to go by with the beard, so it's possible we've lost a lot now that he's clipped it. But from the looks of things - it's growing back in. We should team up and plan to petition for a picture when (if) its all grown back. I mean - an in your face smiling picture like this one. Which... always makes me smile!

QT (still dazzled, waves at Bob again!)

Oh, DP! I like your idea way better! Hey! Maybe we can demand a daily vlog?

Bob... we want a vlog. Just one a day, in the mix of all your postings. How 'bout it?

QT

DP - "your Bobness?" In an effort to not shock QT, I shall refrain from comment.

And I'll let y'all fight over Bob. While I give you that he is hot...I only have eyes for my Rachel. Plus, I have a better chance with her since she wouldn't be interested in Elvis and Carl anyways.

Cough! sputter, spew! chortle! cough!

Wow, yeah, I'll have to agree with The Ladies there, Mr. The Bob Cesca. Very hot indeed. Now that you've been shorn and are just sporting the 5 of-the-clock shadow, I won't have to compete in the manly yeti-like ruggedness and can scrap plans to grow my own pitiful chin-whiskers, huzzah!

You have a sort of Aaron Sorkin nerd hotness going on with the glasses and whatnot. And I mean that in as gay a way as possible.

I'm in on the vlog or the pic.

Kat, I almost said "will you put your Bobness on it" then scratched that and put "sign", realizing that it could be--especially with this bunch--misconstrued horribly. Whew. Glad I read before posting.

So Elvis and Carl are hot to Kat but not to Rachel? Or only Rachel is hot to Kat? This is getting complicated.

QT's getting used to it...

I think she means that neither myself nor Mr. The Broadway Carl represent any sort of threat to her lesbianic lust for Ms. Rachel Maddow, since both Carl and I possess penises and prefer women that won't necessarily call The Police when we want to interface with their woman parts accordingly. Thus we pose no threat to Kat's feverish desire to make with the Glorious Forbidden Love of Whose Name We Shall Not Speak, unless it is to call it "hot girl-on-girl action."

Ah. That makes sense.

Do you also LOOK like Data, ED?

I look like a cross between Candy Crowley and David Frum, which makes me the most unpleasant human being on earth.

LOL that's scary.

What Elvis said. Meeeooowww. (about Rachel. His Crowley/Frum post is just disturbing)

Elvis.... I might call The Police under the right circumstances.

Oh wait. You meant, the police!

Ahem! Kindly tell Mr. Hotness Cesca that I will happily call The Police or The U2 or whomever he deems appropriate.

And now that KatinWilm has let it be known that you and Broadway Carl are hot (but not enough to tempt her away from Rachel) you'll have to prove it by me and DP. I warn you, though, you have a tough act to follow. My heart's just about sewn up here for Bob.

QT

RE: Facial hair.

I shaved my beard back in the Spring, shortly after my bike accident. Sorry, beard peoples!

That's funny, I had a beard accident shortly after I shaved my bike. You get out of my head, Mr. The Bob Cesca!!

Also, QT: Only one other Goddamn Awesomite knows what I look like besides Mr. The Bob, so if Kat's telling you I'm not fucking hideous, she's talking out of her butthole.

QT - I have absolutely no idea what Elvis & Carl look like, and if Elvis is correct in his description, I don't particularly want to know. What I meant was that since Rachel is a lesbian, and I would be willing to become a lesbian for her, my lust for her would far outweigh Elvis's & Carl's lust, since they have penises, and therefore are of no interest to Rachel.

And Elvis, I haven't spoken out of my butthole since a very unfortunate incident in '98. In addition, you make me nervous talking about it since I've read what you would be willing to do to other people's buttholes.

Willing and able, Katin, meeeOW! And I do mean OW. I may look like a cross between Candy Crowley and David Frum but I'm swinging Typhoon-class submarine-sized pipe.

Well, damn, Elvis. That might make you hotter than Bob. ;)

Indeed, madam, huzzah!

I shaved my beard back in the Spring, shortly after my bike accident. Sorry, beard peoples!

Apology accepted - it is your face after all. :)
Did that fucker ever get charged for not seeing you?
And now Elvis informs us that he's not going to grow one so apparently I can stop saving my pennies for the beard-a-thon...

"RE: Facial hair.

Was your beard ruptured? Or contused? Are we talking bicycle or motor? Should we start a widget for beard implants?

I hope you weren't hurt other than in the beard...

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Congrats, sir.
