Also, wasn't it the Times that once ran an obit a few years ago with byline by someone who had themselves died? I can't remember whose obit it was nor what byline.
@VoxPopuli: Holy shit, I do remember hearing about that! But, I'm in the same situation, I don't remember who it was on either end. It's funny--whenever I hear about obituary writers I always flash to Basket Case by Carl Hiaasen.
@ian spiegelman: Hey, didn't you spend years cashing checks from News Corp and using Page Six as your personal bully pulpit? Why should anyone give a shit about what you think about anything?
@KirkLazarus: I used it as a bully pulpit to kick bad people. Meanwhile, if you want to attack me, why don't you use your real name, pussy? Is it because you're a little internet fucking sissy who has to hide behind a pseudonym, you lame little nothing? Give me your name, face me, and I'll take you on, you fucking nothing. Otherwise, shut your no one from nowhere face. When I call someone out, they goddamn know who's doing it. If you want to call me out, you'll tell me your fucking name, zero.
@Baroness: Oh Baroness, I'm always here for you and all my old friends. No matter how much things change around here. The core spirit of this place remains the same, I think. It's just hard to see most of the time.
@bess marvin, girl detective: I didn't challenge him to a fight, I challenged him to attack me under his real name so that I could attack HIS work like he attacked mine. And I'm kind of disappointed in YOU. Like I can't challenge people using the term "pussy" when they were being pussies? I'm sorry, but I don't fight PC. A little jerk who is a pussy is a pussy.
@ian spiegelman: don't fight PC. nice. so if mr. lazarus was black would you used the term nigger or hispanic would you call him a spic? i mean, who cares if it's a racial slur, you don't fight PC cause your name is on the line. like marlo stanfield, your NAME is your NAME. right? RIGHT?
@ian spiegelman: Despite the un-PC nature of your post, I'm on Team Spiegelman all the way on this one. Because in my view, why the hell should anyone give a shit about what @KirkLazarus has to say about anything at all?

No, it's not Rick Astley. It's page-views for Sheila.

If you can, that is- the phone line seems to have been cut here at Gawker Haus. I feel like Ingrid in Gaslight.

What is it about this place that makes its writers eventually go bonkers?

Didn't you ever call anyone a "dickless motherfucker"? I know I can barely let a week go by without that phrase?
New York kids don't play, we use all the words available. Don't be a pussy!

That was my thought when I saw the byline "Enid Nemy."
