New Pompous Asshole Magazine To Compete With Cigar Aficionado
NEW YORK—Upscale consumers who enjoy cigars, wine, and "all the finer things in life" will have a new magazine to enjoy beginning next month when Pompous Asshole hits the stands. Targeted at the 23- to 60-year-old pompous-asshole demographic, the new monthly magazine is expected to compete directly with Cigar Aficionado for advertising dollars. "Pompous Asshole is the magazine of the good life," said publisher Paul Westman, "And, unlike Cigar Aficionado, we truly cover it all: From tips on choosing the right humidor to advice on where to gamble in Monte Carlo to the lowdown on the new Jaguar XJ8, Pompous Asshole is the magazine no rich prick can afford to be without."

I found this article, which explains about 3/4ths of this blogs content...

Oh yeah, good to hear from Newt Gingrich's Chicago Campaign Chairman...

"one in three (library) workers suffer from poor psychological health."

But what does this prove if they were already nuts before they got hired?

Getting back to the point: Is Coach Dikka behind dis magazine?

Fungster said...

Better him that Smiff, I tell you what. Smiff might, well, actually, change things. You know, like reserving the right to fire any baseball manager at any time for any reason. That should be in the constitution man! He may get a certain weatherman flogged for being slightly less right than the other guys. Oh, and let the terrists have access to counsel. Didn't you learn the lessons of 9-11?

I apologise for hijacking this particular post. But when one is a commenter, and not a contributor, the only way to post something of interest is to take the lamest post by the lamest guy within the last day or two to get it in.

k-mad said...

Is the Fungster hinting around at a longing to become a contributor?

Fungster said...

Well, da blog is supposed to be about da great game of baseball, and so contributor level would not be appropriate. Besides, I've heard that Smiff bites. But when you go off topic, and boy do you go off topic, then the Fungster can shine. If there was guest level contributor, limiting the posts to no more than a handful a week, that would be more apropos. If I were full time, I would try and keep up with Smiff. And no-one can keep up with Smiff. Esp when Dick "Dick" (Dick) Dick Cheney does anything other than stay locked up in his undisclosed location.

Smiff said...

I say: make Fung a contributor...i think he's more than pathetic enough to become a member. Plus, he's seemingly the only reader. And the kicker is... he knew da risks.

Fungster said...

I suppose I could chime in about the latest cricket test match...

Rebecca said...

hey! I'm a reader too! I'm happy just being a reader though. And I'm still campaigning for a "this is baseball related!" tag so I can move on to the more interesting posts ;)

"Off topic?" I didn't know that we even had a topic. This whole blog is off topic. My whole existence if off topic. I wouldn't want to associate with a topic that would be associated with me.

Well I was all set to invite Fungster in as an official, non-civilian "author" but I can't seem to figger out what his email address is. But any of you can do that from customize -> settings -> permissions.

Fungster said...

Finally! Someone else "admits" to reading this $#!+. Glad to know I'm not alone.

K-Mad - you mean you didn't keep all those emails from Sarge with Krugman's latest diatribe? My email's in there somewhere...

To go even further off topic, on the news page I sent, they had a link to another story titled: IT stresses 'driving UK to drink'. I wonder if I have the same effect here...

Corms said...

Fung, you're a good enough reason to drink as any other.

Corms said...

Fung, you should have an invite in your Earthlink account.

Fungster said...

Thanks Corms. The Lattice will never be the same...
