I do the crossword puzzle when I get the paper at hotels.

Read? Not so much.

They have them at the bar at Chilis, I'll pick through it if I stop for a beer after a job.

Only for sheridan's lines for a little pickem contest with friends during football season. Does anyone read any paper anymore?

I thumb through the Sunday Oregonian when I have time... Helps that the web counterpart for it is formatted like ass.

WSJ's layout is also very aesthetically pleasing, but I rarely go through it in print.

I despise the Gannet corp with a passion.

Between me and two of my neighbors, we have been
shorted over $250,000 in retirement funds, and I
quit counting a long time ago.

I brought this up once with a guy who said his
uncle who had been a typesetter for twenty three
years was fired and received no retirement after
they invented laser printing.

Not that Gannet doesn't have something like $50b
in their retirement fund and can't pay what they
promised.

How does anyone come up with enough money to
have a nationwide newspaper to begin with??

They are the scourge of the earth, thieves, liars,
poropagandists, orwelian disseminators of false
information.

I spit on anyone who buys one of their rags.

So, do you just... I dunno... wait by the stand and hock a loogie at anyone who buys one?

Is this the same passion in which you also despise Moslems, Gays, Catholics, Mexicans, Europeans, and Henry Kissinger?

Between me and two of my neighbors, we have been
shorted over $250,000 in retirement funds, and I
quit counting a long time ago.

So, you worked for Gannet prior to becoming a gun-runner? You despise major media not because of any journalistic qualities, but due to a personal grudge regarding your perceived retirement benefits.

Not that Gannet doesn't have something like $50b
in their retirement fund and can't pay what they
promised.

Not that you could not have been more fiscally responsible and invested in your own retirement fund. Thought you would be the type who would never leave anything so crucial in any other hands.

They are the scourge of the earth, thieves, liars,
poropagandists, orwelian disseminators of false
information.

And, according to your Narcissistic self, there is only enough room for one of these scourges in this country...

I spit on anyone who buys one of their rags.

I am now going to start buying the USA Today off the rack with the hope that you will spit on me.

Well, he phrased it as an absolute. Apparently USA Today poses a bigger threat to the country than Islam, socialists, communists, atheists, democrats, scientists, Europeans and immigrants.

Did gs just call someone else a propagandist? haha.

Figuratively!

Actually I could have been arrested for public
drunkedness when I typed that, if I had been
in public,went a bit over the line last night.

For anyone who might be interested, I could tell
you a bit about retirement programs and how to
prevent being ripped off that I learned after
Gannet did a job on a few hundred people and
most likely continue to do since they are nothing
other than a den of theives at best.

Wait... you're usually sober when posting on here?

What's that like?

That is the real question. I can't remember the last time I read a paper.

 

[KiffinKiller]

I read sports sections all the time.

 

[Slydell]

There's a fellow who gives papers away once a week in front of the local market. Nice guy trying to drive subscriptions. If I'm going fishing, I'll grab one. If I had a bird cage, I'd get two.

This was I was going to say too. For some odd reason I love newspaper sport sections.

 

[WA_Vol]

I used to read it online, but stopped a few years ago, not sure why.

 

[MG1968]

I've always liked their crossword puzzle, they're not as difficult as the NYT or Times of London, but if you have 15 to 30 minutes to kill, it's more than sufficient.

Due to the internet, the time the papers get out, it's old news.
