By the time you grow up, copy-editors will be harder to find than pagers.
On the upside, though, reader expectations will be low enough that it won’t matter.

IIBB
Idaho Idiot Bill Bickel. This is new.
While at the same time just more of the same. Seriously, how does every Bill Bickel in the country think he has my email address? I’m not even sure whether this makes five or six, that’s how bad it’s gotten.
I just got three apparently-important e-mails regarding his upcoming medical procedure, and I have no way of forwarding them to him.
OT – Just wondering…
If you eat irradiated ground beef, do you turn into The Amazing Cow-Man?
OT and Mostly Rhetorical
Is the random Capitalization of Nouns making a comeback after 200-some years, or is this just part of our trend toward functional illiteracy?
So we were just discussing the flatness of the Midwest…
OT: Ticketmaster
So… pretty much any ticket you buy for anything has to be bought through Ticketmaster now, with “convenience fees” of about 25%. There’s no competition, usually no option of calling the box office to buy tickets directly, and often no option of GOING TO the box office to buy tickets directly.
Basically, Ticketmaster has a choke-hold on the market and gets their cut on everything.
It’s hard to imagine other fields where this would be even remotely legal.
Gramma
How old would y’all say Gramma’s supposed to be? Because horrifyingly enough she can’t be a whole lot older than I am, and the things she says don’t reflect the world of my youth.
I think a lot of cartoonists (and other writers) have a fixed mental image of grandparents being of the same generation as their own grandparents, forgetting that time has passed: today’s grandparents came of age in the 1950s, 60s, or even 70s, not the 20s, 30s or 40s.
Store Signs I Don’t Understand [OT]
Yes, it’s 2018 [OT]
I was given my nephew’s new street address today, and I realized he’s too young to remember when that would have been accompanied by “and his new telephone number is…”
[OT] Okay, honest answers here…
Am I the only person surprised to find out that Willie Mays, Hank Aaron and Whitey Ford are all still with us rather than playing in the Field of Dreams?
