What precious Sarah Lacy does NOT say is, they start at five in the FUCKING MORNING, when decent people are just going to bed. #wereadtwittersoyoudonthaveto
@ms_priestypants: Oh, I want a mini elephant! Have you seen the mini donkey though? Much more affordable and can be used for hauling around tiny amounts of luggage.
@DahlELama: Agreed! I figured he had moved on, but still hadn't seen any sort of official confirmation until I read this post. The upside: he's been twittering more lately.
@DahlELama: Well, it's certainly nice to be missed, but I really didn't know I was leaving until I was gone too! You see, I was fired because my "tone" was deemed "too butch" for Gawker 2009. So there you go.
@The Cajun Boy: You've gotta be fucking kidding me. You are, right? Yes, yes you must be.
Is there a petition we can sign to get you back or something? Or are you writing elsewhere that we might be able to stalk, er, that is, follow like normal people?
@DahlELama: Seriously. Unless Gawker is going to become a gay ghetto, Denton is going to have to hire butch straight guys and femme straight girls again. Besides, um, your stuff has...what's the word...merit?
@The Cajun Boy: Are you jesting? Ugh. Take best care, Cajun. We liked you and found your tone most appropriate. It's tough times to be in this retarded racket.
@The Cajun Boy: Please add me to the list of those who are disappointed. I enjoyed pretty much all your posts; I liked your responsiveness and I really liked the fact that your material trickled out over the night, like you were up with the rest of us and not just shooting your wad before going to bed.
BTW: I've glanced at your blogspot a couple of times looking for an explanation and I'll certainly give this "Animal" site whirl. Good luck.
Wait, is this the same Sarah Lacy who epically wrote, "People who would never use MySpace or Digg or Twitter are joining Twitter" in a Business Weekopus?!
Countries like Brazil, Russia, and many others require U.S. citizens to apply for visas as a point of pride. They do it not because there is any great risk in facilitating the entrance of U.S. citizens into their country as tourists. Rather, they do it because the U.S. requires their citizens to apply for visas. The U.S. generally requires visas of citizens from countries where the citizens frequently wish to immigrate to the U.S. The U.S. is worried that casual visitors from such countries may remain illegally and uses the mechanism of the visa to control entrance and make tracking more effective. Countries like Russia and Brazil are, in turn, insulted. ("We have such wonderful country! Why would we want to stay there!") Hence the red tape and the sometimes absurdly high processing fees (Russia, e.g., is over $100 for standard processing. What’s that exchange rate again?).
It's not scary when wikipedia updates events in near real time, or writes things like "In September 2009, Lacy was widely criticized and ridiculed on Internet discussion boards..." when we're only 3 days into September. It's only really scary when they report on things that happen the day after they're written about.
Sa-rah-rah and that Spitzer girl.. what's her name? It's in the Gawker masthead and I can't even remember it to down here in the comments .. they should have a reality show.
On a farm with, like cows.
Just like Paris and the other what's her name... srsly.
I'm usually one to rush to the defense of the U.S. -- and especially in light of this week's ridiculous 9/11 ad crap fest out of Brazil -- but I'm pretty sure Brazil's slightly pain-in-the-ass Visa procedure was a response to our extremely pain-in-the-ass Visa procedure for them.

Maybe come visit us at Wordsmoker.com once in a while? We don't suck over there. At least not compared to here.

Aw, but seriously, you will be missed. I like it when I can tell who wrote a post just by their style, and you sir, had a style.
