Sploid: Like crack or on crack?Sploid admits cheerfully that it "just can't stop smoking that breaking-news crack." But after reading West Coast editor Ken Layne's "Shift Memo" to no one in particular, we can't help but wonder if that's not a euphemism for smoking a Whitney Houston-sized hunk o' sweet crackity-cracklin' goodness. Layne's Faulknerian memo takes us from his fond recollections of a Fox newscast about real estate deals: And then the perky real-estate gal explained how you find these places before they get too expensive. I quote from memory: ...to ruminations on Quizno subs: The "black angus steak sandwich" is mighty good. Get the jumbo size and you can eat the other half for breakfast, like a champion. ...to being instructed to cut back on "oddball stories" And today I see this fantastic story about the Pig Olympics in China. What to do? This story has everything: action, drama, pigs showing incredible dexterity and determination. I let it go. ...to his delicious recipe for "the special Day Drink": 100% cranberry juice (which is incredibly bitter by itself) and this sparkling water they sell at the store and ice cubes. It's a healthy hydrating treat, and as your day progresses you can start substituting vodka for the water, a little at a time, and it's nighttime before you know it. But I just drink the Day version, until it's night. Once again, the only thing that's missing is a reference to Stalin. Email This Post |
