When people talk about 9/11 you never hear "twenty o'one" but "two thousand one".. but alas, Charles Osgood, the olde who hosts CBS Sunday Morning, always announces the date by saying "Twenty o'nine" .. and for some reason, hearing him say it that way makes it sound like that format is strictly reserved for the oldes. For the rest of us, it's normally spoken as "two thousand nine", so therefore I can only presume we'll be saying "two thousand ten" #media
@iplaudius: I've kind of stopped trying to read too deeply into HamNo's posts. He gets about three paragraphs deep in snark and ceases to make sense. #media
@iplaudius: You're right, you're right. Besides, this is no way to go about getting my star back. Pretend I didn't say anything other than that thing I said earlier about Quinn Quinn the quinquagenarian. #media
Shall we place bets on the purchaser? I'm thinking CBS Interactive, since they seem to be desperate to purchase websites that their geeky teenage sons read (see: CNet, Last.FM, etc.).
"This is a terrible time to be in the news business," said Arthur J. Marsinning Jr., who recently purchased The Onion for an undisclosed sum said to be north of $14,000. "Therefore, it stands to reason that this is an excellent time to be in the fake-news business."
Marsinning plans to combine staff and facilities with those of his current company, Wackee Novelties Inc., which manufactures party favors such as Blaat! brand artificial throw-up and Whoopsy-Poop brand artificial dog-doo. "If information-gathering is anything like disgusting-substances production," he added, "then I'm pretty sure that the fake kind will not only smell better, but be far more profitable, too."
