Lee, I changed my mind. Reading your Message-ID killed Frank Sinatra.
And they wrote:
-> And another, on a newsgroup called alt.religion.kibology, made reference -> to the other mammoth pop culture event of the week in his provocative -> posting titled "Jerry Seinfeld killed Frank Sinatra!": -> -> "The last words of Ol' Blue Eyes were, 'Please turn off this incredibly -> lame over-hyped final episode before I die of boredom! Dammit, I'm gonna -> hurry up and die right now just to get CNN to talk about something else -> for a few minutes!"
Which was followed by an HTML comment:
-> <!--content stop-->
I said that. Except for "content stop". Kibo's content never stops.
So we should note:
1.) They like to quote me whenever a celebrity dies.
Remember Kurt Cobain? Burgess Meredith? Carl Sagan?
When Bob Hope dies, I'll get my own sitcom for sure.2.) In standard real-world journalistic style, when someone says
something on the Internet, you can only quote it if you
take their name off it. (Like when The Economist panned
a Spot story I wrote and didn't even have the guts to
mention my name because they knew that if everyone knew
it was by Kibo they'd have to love it.)3.) This page broke my browsers. It crashes my Netscape, and
my Internet Explorer displays two-thirds of an ad covering
a paragraph in the middle of the page.
Or maybe that's the way they wanted it.-- K.
And once I get my own nightly
newscast, my signoff will be
the trusty, avuncular
"And that's the way I wanted it." Except every 97th episode, where
I'll just scream "THE END!!!!!!!!"
