We should do a study of just how many obits are written and published for living persons.

But, did Enid Nemy get paid when the obit ran?

@steveholtsmother: Ha. No way.

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.

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

@Frances Houseman: No, page-view bonuses are in effect until the end of this month. And he can't stiff Sheila without breaking the law.

So, NYT typos are now worthy Gawker items? As far as obituaries go, it's no "Beloved Cunt".

@Baroness: I teach our youth how to proofread and edit each fall and always use typos culled from the NYT. They are as hilarious as they are rampant!

@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.

@ian spiegelman: Sigh.. a real man! See, that's what Caroline Kennedy's been dying, for Ian. Let me give you her number, PM me.

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

@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?

please.

@ian spiegelman: Not exactly very enlightened language for a guy whose writing I valued here on Gawker.

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?

Someone in the other thread said, of Sunny von Bülow, "She's still alive?"

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