    Great. Now someone's become Death, the destroyer of our worlds.

    I don't think death knows who I am. Thusly, I'm keen on wearing a suit of armor, and climbing the highest tree around in thunderstorms. I rage at the heavens.. and if the branch is big enough, moon the heavens with my metal ass.

    Death, do you really favor Sicilians in games of chance?

    Norm was looking for someone to drop a little knowledge, not someone to drop a corpse. :D

    Correct. Even Death can't skirt Webby's no-outing rule.

    And to those drinking, a round of Double Bastard Ales ... or is this more of a Hurricane Ice/Milwaukee Light crowd? ;-)

    I don't have an exact number, but I would start with the line editor that let that horrific article into the paper that ran in Monday metro.

    It was a piece on a physician's assistant that overcame polio. Could have been a great story, but it was one of the choppiest things I've ever read. It really was painful and is a good example of why readers don't respect our industry anymore.

    In the manner that an upper-decker can spoil a great party, that dreadfully written story soiled my NYT experience that day.

    So Layoff No. 1 can begin -- and end -- with said line editor that allowed that poor prose to be published.

    You're not applying for a job covering the Dolphins, are you?
