The years in rumor.

January 2nd, 2007
Author Graeme McMillan

So, this is 2007, huh? Rich Johnston takes one last look back at 2006 in the fictitious company of some esteemed comic commentators, while competing rumor column All The Rage celebrates a new year with a new writer. After all, new year doesn’t mean that our tastes are any less salacious…

    “All the Rage” runs through writers like Doctor Who runs through, um, Doctors.

    I secretly would love to try writing a rumor column, but I’m scared that I’d not find out anything juicy and start just making things up. “This week, Alan Moore cut off his hand so that it could achieve individual sentience. Avatar has since created a whole new line of books to be written by the hand.”

    Remember, each new writer begins with every story they’ve come across for years. By the fifth week, then we’ll see the cut of their job!

    So, his ploy to get the blognoscenti linking him worked?

    Well, yes. But was there any doubt about that?

    Well, no.

    Steve will do fine on All The Rage. He’s been prepping that column for weeks.

    And yet few blogs have picked up on the Byrne item that both Rich and Steve covered. (I’m ready to be corrected on this).

    Tim, there’s not much to pick up on — “Byrne still an asshole” is no longer a story, if it ever was.

    Two points to Draper Carlson for prompting my first full online reaction laugh of 2007.

    Graeme, I’ve never considered you esteemed. ;)

    And Rod Odom wins the award for drinking the most Byrne Kool Aid EVER. “He didn’t like a member going to a funeral, so he’s gone. No big deal.” How can one even manage to type that seriously? He went to the eulogy to share the condolences of many of his board mates with the family of a board member who had died. Byrne requested the ban immediately after the guy posted on the board to let everyone know he had passed on their sentiments to the family present at the funeral. Byrne finds new ways to prove his douche-hood almost daily.

    That wasn’t really Rod. I’ve deleted the comment.

    And yet I don’t want to see KHuxfod’s comment deleted. Otherwise none of us can make jokes about new gritty city dramas set to premiere on HBO using “douche-hood” in the title. Or is that a car part for a French car? No, that’d be “Bidet-hood”.
