Congratulations, news editor Denis Theriault (and by “congratulations,” I mean “fuck you”), for being the first Mercury employee to make it into the New York Post—a personal dream of mine for years that has now been shattered. BUT HEY! It couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy (and by “nicer,” I mean “fuck you”).

On the upside, the story isn’t very interesting, as it’s solely about how awkward Jeopardy can be when Alex Trebek is introducing the contestants. As we all know, Denis previously wrote about his success on Jeopardy, and therefore dealt with this awkwardness first hand. From the NYP:

Actually this isn’t a quote from the article, because the story’s way too boring, and I’m way too mad. Denis is, of course, as CHARMING as usual, so read it for yourself here. And by “it” I mean “fuck you, Denis and New York Post.”

Bang bang, choo-choo train, let me see you shake that thang. Wm. Steven Humphrey is the editor-in-chief of the Portland Mercury and has held the job since 2000. (So don’t get any funny ideas.)

  1. It looks like when Denis commented on the story he didn’t follow the posting guidelines. From reading the other comments, I gather that you are also required to complain about the New York Post, Jeopardy, or Taxes.

  2. I’ve been telling you for years, Steve, to strip naked, paint yourself silver, and assault a Spider-Man impersonator in Times Square while screaming “Galactus is coming! Galactus is coming!”– but you never listen. Apparently making it into the Post just ISN’T ALL THAT IMPORTANT TO YOU.

  4. Are we talking about the right paper here? The New York Post? That shitty rag Murdoch puts out that is even less worthy of birdcages than the Merc? Yeah, I guess I could see WSH wanting to write for it.
