As you know, all of us here at Not Bob take the Not Bob brand seriously, and are always looking for ways to improve and upgrade your experience with Not Bob.

After an extensive period of research into what it is that makes a Not Bob post the je ne sais quois experience that it is (is it the seeming reasonableness? the thinly-masked know-it-all-ism? the good manners?), including the use of focus groups and polling), your friends at Not Bob are thrilled and honored to announce the following exciting new developments:

(1) More editions of "Ask Not Bob"! That's correct, more of those fake letters to Not Bob which Not Bob can use in his lovably passive-aggressive way to make his seemingly rational yet subtly dismissive points. Get your letters in! Not that we'll use them, of course -- we like to make up our own.

(2) More Fenwick! Yup, Not Bob's much-beloved associate Fenwick will make more regular appearances in Not Bob posts. Look for Fenwick to be used as kind of a Greek chorus, or maybe a set-up person, or even simply an Everyperson. As an associate of indeterminate gender, Fenwick can serve as a handy placeholder for each and every member of the LawTalkers community. Fenwick will star in a series of advertisements promoting the Not Bob brand of shtick.

(3) You can take Not Bob out of Podunkville, but you can't take the Podunkville out of Not Bob! This season, Not Bob and his wacky friends and neighbors (all your favorites -- Big Ed, Big Edna (her real name is Michelle), Wanda of Help Me, Wanda's hair salon, the Harvard law chick mechanic at Big Ed's Fina station, Big Ed's brother Big Earl, all of the fun kids at the Dew Drop Inn, and various assistant managers, cashiers, and patrons at the Piggly-Wiggly) will visit various cities across the US of A. See Big Ed at the Rainbow Room, Wanda at the Sears Tower, and Big Earl at the Folsom Street Fair. Should be a *lot* of fun.

(4) The day Not Bob's music died -- today! Sadly, there is a time and a purpose to all things, and the time has passed for Not Bob song parodies. Sure, "Don't Cry For Me, Fashionistas," "What Would Billmore Baggins Do," and "Me and Paigow P" were all classics, but, well, they were also all composed a long time ago. We all share your disappointment with recent efforts, and have terminated with extreme prejudice those writers who created those flops. Enough said.

We here at Not Bob value your reading of Not Bob posts, and look forward to continuing to provide you with high quality posts at a fair price.

Have a Not Bob Day!
