Re: “New Column!”
Oh, I say, chaps, you really dug into the distant past for this one. Did you know that Edgar Bergen was a lousy ventriloquist? Perfect for radio, however, as his lips moved. Couldn't throw his voice worth a tinker's damn.
But funny? His fights with W C Fields were choice, quite delightful in the whole. Though Bergan's lips moving was more than a little off-putting.
Thanks for the memory lane trip, however do you really think the average slack-jawed twenty something knows what a ventriloquist is? Or remember Bergan and his dummies? Or even radio? (It's that box in your mother's bed room that rings in the mornings from which music occassionally sounds.)
Well, back to business.
Not funny.

Re: “Open Letter to the Ice Cream Truck Driver Guy that Stops at Our Office Every Day”
Well, Wm. Steven,
I admit indulging ones self with a spot of frozen custard is quite refreshing, however, venting your frustration in this tawdry manner in a publication of this, uh, sorry, almost said quality, b'gawd. Ha. Don't want to mislead any readers, don't you know.
Of this, of this, let's say, well, let's say, virtue, ah, yes, that's it, virtue. A frightfully woody term. Ha. Quite right.
Now then, to the task at hand: Not funny.

Re: “Nerd Reenacts "Three Little Pigs" with Giant Fart Ring Machine”
P.S. Funny
Re: “Nerd Reenacts "Three Little Pigs" with Giant Fart Ring Machine”
Well, chappies, this item strikes a new low in humour don't you know. E'gad, is this fellow serious? This is. . . well, excellent. Hysterical. The man is a sophisticated bon vivant.
As anyone who follows British humour knows, bathroom jokes strike the typical Brit as hysterical much in the same manner a fart joke ellates the typical American six year old. Benny Hill would be thrilled and would plagarize it in a Scot's minute.
Wait until the boys at the home office in Llandred Wells, Wales, hear about this.
Warmest regards,

P.S. Not funny. The column, that is. Our stuff as always is quite droll for the most part.
Re: “Sam Adams Rally: Just Off the Train”
Chappies,
Not sure what all the brouhaha about Mr. Adams is about. We men of the Royal Navy have a long tradition of taking cabin boys aboard ship ever since Henry VII created the service, don't you know. Between cabin boys, sucking limes to prevent scurvy and a daily ration of grog, life at sea wasn't all that bad.
Of course, in those days, men were men and cabin boys were nervous. Egad, I made a mot, don't you know, a sort of a joke, a witicism, even, g'gawd, eh what? Hah!
Well, back to the job at hand.
Not funny!
Re: “What an Awesome Nazi!”
Well, chappies, we happen to agree with parts of your review. Not the entirety, but at least parts.
For the record, we at the International Guild of Satirists, Humourists, Comedians and Pranksters, Ltd., of Llandedryd Wells, Wales (pronounced in Welsh: Thlandedryd Wethls) have awards two Dubious Achievement Awards for this movie.
What say you to that, eh, what?
First, the 2008 Award for the most Dubious German Accent in a Movie goes to Tom Cruise , and,
a Certificate of Dubious Dramatic Worth for the 29th consecutive movie in which Mr. Cruise has successfully played Tom Cruise.
