So the Editor of the Stranger doesn't need to know how to spell the names of U.S. presidents (even if this one was a huge douchebag)?

Wish I knew what A. Steen would say about that.

@1 I didn't fight the Grammar Nazis in Europe back in Dubya-Dubya 2 so they could take over in America

@5 - It's called spelling, buddy. Different from grammar.

This kinda pisses me off every time it comes up but: There is a difference between a spelling error (in that the person genuinely does not know how to spell the word correctly) and a typo (which is your fingers fucking up, and a lesser sin).

In this case, it's hard to tell whether Frizzelle can spell Reagan or not, but considering he isn't putting it down as "Raygin", I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt and say it was a typo.

Adrian's Knievel obit made my ladyfriend and I develop a sincere desire to adopt him. That was one of the funniest goddamn things I've read all year, and coming from a little pisshole town in Southeast Idaho, I can fully pick up what he is throwing down.

My liege!

Or hey, maybe not. Maybe he just can't spell. Oh well.

All of this Adrian! bashing is making me buy a gun.

Just bought it.

Lock your doors.

Hey, no one's bashing Adrian!, #10 - put away your gun.

All of this Friz bashing is making me return my gun.

Just returned it.

Keep your doors locked.

Oh, I see. Christopher must have meant this guy: http://www.ronregan.com/

@13 just as funny, my friend

Sigh. I liked you for a second there, Gloria. And then I hated you. It was, indeed, a typo. I grew up practically in the shadow of the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library. I had to look at that freeway exit sign all the time.

Personally? I didn't find either Knievel's nor Reagan's obits very funny, although Reagan's was slightly more so. But that's just me.

This sense of humor escapes me, I guess. Or maybe I need another beer.

Read the Knievel obit last night, and it may have been my favorite Stranger article ever.

@18: And stupidity. There was nothing funny or even clever in them.

Wolf, perhaps you're just an idiot? I've been reading your comments in several threads and you seem to not understand anything truly funny.

Are you castrated? Could be it.

Idiot? Perhaps. Castrated? No, why? You interested? I can swing by and pick you up 8-ish.

We are enemies, Wolf.
