In Fond Remembrance: The Mercury's "Butter Hogs"

Comments

I miss Matt Davis and trolling too.

When is the Mercury going to hire me simply for the purpose of fucking with elected officials and legitimate news sources?

Maybe after you pitch and write some freelance crap, and then apply for a staff position.

Anyone else need any life coaching? I have 40 minutes left at work...

Maybe Nigel jacquiss can do follow up investigations into who j/o's while their guest house lawn is being over-watered.

Uh, yeah, I had a story in a Barnes & Noble anthology once, WANNA SEE A COPY?

Fnarf. Best part of this was in the Fred Meyer shooting Leonard grabbing a load of butter from the aisles first and I was like, "what if they get funny about us taking pictures?" He said, I think, "if they get 'funny' I'll ask them when was the last time they had a fire code inspection."

And then something about British people which I won't repeat. He was the fire bureau commissioner at the time. I miss elected officials with a sense of humor. Btw Charlie Hales? He can go butter himself.

Wow. I agree with Matt Davis about something. But we have Novick now, Matt, he just seems to use his sense of humor more judiciously these days.
