When I was doing archival research last week, I ran across some transcripts of radio "interviews" given by a certain lady bureaucrat in the DOL, and as it turns out, the Women's Bureau just handed the interviewers a list of questions and the interviewee, the charming and brilliant Frieda Miller (with whom I am sure you are all familiar), would simply read her prepared responses off the script.  This included such nuggets as, "Oh, that's an excellent question," and, in response to a glowing introduction, "that was so flattering, I do hope I can live up to it."  She gave the same interview to half a dozen different interviewers over the course of a month, wrote a new one, and started again. 

Now, I'm not saying Onstad does that -- who would say such a terrible thing? -- but I'm just throwing this story out there, because, you know, interviews, and stuff.

Cort, I would say thank you, but this really is the level of service we've come to expect and, therefore, take for granted from a man who has his own verb. 

For reals.

It's strange to see him standing with his creations.  There's something off about it.

Here's a 2-page PDF of the interview assembled from CourtJstr's .png files.

It's a little on the huge side. Sorry. Nevertheless.

Thanks Hudson.

Anyone need it as a Targa file or MacWrite document?

How do I know that clicking on that won't give my computer Comic Sans.

Hell of cans for you.  Comic Sans is an STD now.  Ha ha ha ha.

Cans for Hudson too.  Bravo.

The Onion not only has a print edition, but it's distributed in newspaper boxes here in Chicago (where they're based) next to the <ahem> legitimate newspapers.

Also, hold your hosss, people.  There will be an expanded web interview posted online next week for their comics feature.

Anyway, yeah, I love that I can pick up a copy of The Onion on the way out of the local supermarket.  I read it online for years - it's kinda surreal to see people reading it on the train.

The first print edition that came out in this area had a front page story about a recall of defective pug dogs:
http://www.theonion.com/content/news/dog_breeders_issue_massive_recall

I was walking the pugs a couple days later and a woman stopped to pet them and asked me, all excited, if I'd seen that article. I had to break it to her that everything in The Onion is a joke.

HEE!!! Wasn't there a Taiwanese or Chinese newspaper agency that mistook the "Senators strike for a new Congress building" seriously and didn't do any fact-checking before they ran it as an actual news story? Heh. I love the Onion.

Goddamn, it hurts to type today. My right wrist feels like it's channeling an arthritic old lady. Even Icy-Hot doesn't help. It's the damned 1977 280Z that I've been driving. The gearbox is hell of jilapidated and my wrist is killing me. I need to figure something out fast so my wrist doesn't fall off.
