I'MMA LET YOU FINISH
To quote the immortal Monty Python:
"I'm not dead yet!"
Lo, he is risen!
My two favorite bloggers showing some love..SWEET!
How do we know that you haven't become one of the undead?
GOP quip if it had been true: "We had to kill Atrios to win the election."
The walrus was Josh.
The Resurrection of the Atrios.
I wondered why everyone was telling me that they thought I was dead. Then I realized I was wearing my "I am Atrios" hat.
"He's not completley dead but he's not at all well."
Monty Python
Overheard in a bar:
"He must be alive--I heard someone talking about him just last week."
+++
Hell I knew Atrios wasn't dead. He had updated twice before Josh put up his post.
Strange behavior for someone dead. I mean, if I were dead I think the first place I would mention it is on my own blog!
i saw the photograph,
atrios blew his mind out in a car,
he didn't didn't notice that the lights had changed,
a crowd of people stood and stared
(º)(º)
Atrios isn't dead. He's pining for the fjords.
Atrios is dead. Long live Atrios!
Well done, wŇÓ†!
Generalissimo Atrios is still alive.
And now, for something completely different:
"he's a son of a Bush. That's all he is, son of a Bush."

Quite decent of you, really, continuing to post even though you're dead and all. It's that kind of dedication we don't see much of nowadays.
I just made a pancake that came out with scorch marks that look just like a thirty-something white guy from Philly, in a turtleneck. I'm setting up a shrine in the living room, and I'm going out for candles and beer, if anyone wants to come over later..
don't think I could make it with out ya, dude.
"I'm not afraid of death, I just don't want to be there when it happens." W.A. (Woody Atrios)
All better now. Josh fixed his first line.
Couldn't this have waited three days? Or would that have been too biblical?
All we need is for mel to make The Passion of the Atrios and the cycle is complete. Of course those damn un-American greeks will probably have something to say about it.
Jack,
You just beat me to the joke... I was going to post: "Careful Atrios, or Mel might make a movie about you."
Yeah, Josh changed his opening. Now it reads "Atrios is spot..." Somewhere, Senator Santorum's heart skips a beat.
Wow, Josh has the power over life and death. Now THAT'S an influential blogger...
Lurid, lemuel.
Where's that FCC context?
" I Read the News Today Oh Boy "
Atrios is a master of the headline.
always makes me laugh
ha-ha lemuel. spot on or on Spot?
"It's really nice of you to give that dead person a second chance, sir."
-- Tom Servo, Space Mutiny
Sully finally found him!
Josh is being cute. He knows Atrios's identity. It's a clue.
patriotboy, I know the Undead, and Atrios is not one of the Undead!
With respects to the General, sir!
Atrios is Dead
Indeed
This is just a ploy to throw the wingers off his trail.
Mystery date... I'm ready for my mystery date...
LOL... nice saturday giggle.
I have a new idea for a movie worthy of this resurrection.
The Passion of Atrios.
Instead of flogging, it would feature blogging...
I read dead people!
WILL SAFIRE WATCH:
BTW, did anyone notice that one of Will Safire's predictions for the year has already gone awry... he predicted that Martha would be found innocent..
And he also wrote 2 full op-eds in NYT supporting Martha and condemning the govt.'s case as being false..
Atrios is dead ... right?
Sweet zombie atrios!
By the way folks, 19 March is coming up and I think it needs to be observed in some appropriate measure.
...you DO remember what happened on 19 March, do you not?
GeeDee it, when that happens, I'm done with the friggin' internet as a whole.
The king is dead, long live Atrios!

He might as well get used to being wrong. He's going to have a bad year.
His record last year wasn't so great either.
March 19
Generalissimo Saddam still dead at Dora Farms.
When do they selebrate Mansour? April 9?
Generalissimo Saddam still dead in expensive Mansour.
renato, time for a toga party?
Glad to hear it!
not exactly, pie.
George W. Bush commenced his excellent Iraqi adventure a year ago 19 March.
And we all know how well THAT'S gone, right?
In fact they're boasting about the successful Iraq war in their TV ads.
Aren't they? Oh. Hmm. Maybe they're just being modest.

LOL!
p.s. Safire is always wrong.
Atrios is spot
Atrios is Spot!
IIHTEIYWUI
Yeah but Josh's CSS headline still reads "Atrios is Spot.."
So where's Santorum?
Just because no one seems to have pointed it out: "O, untimely death!" is a line uttered during the fade out of "I Am the Walrus;" it's from a BBC radio production of King Lear. Kinda puts the death of the great blogger on a sort of classical footing, I think.
Nice touch, Atrios.
That's one date I'd rather not remember, renato. It was a very sad day. I was thinking 15 March, anyway.

Why does Warren Buffett hate America?
"Tax breaks for corporations (and their investors, particularly large ones) were a major part of the Administration's 2002 and 2003 initiatives," he wrote. "If class warfare is being waged in America, my class is clearly winning."
Buffett's annual letter to investors (in PDF format) and synopsized here.
Plenty of us noticed, Ron, we just didn't mention it because we're in on the scam ... like Paul McC., Atrios has been replaced by a fake in order to keep the popular franchise going.
Josh Marshall's "Atrios is dead right..." was just one of the clues. If you view the source HTML for Talking Points Memo backwards, you can find more.
"Atrios is dead man, miss him, miss him ..."

Off topic: The Most Powerful Man In The World is hallucinating again.
CRAWFORD, Texas (AP) President Bush on Saturday hailed a new interim constitution as ''excellent progress'' toward democracy in Iraq, painting an upbeat picture that ignored the cancellation of Friday's scheduled signing of the document.
An elaborate ceremony planned by U.S. and Iraqi officials for Friday was scotched indefinitely after Iraq's top Shiite cleric, Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Husseini al-Sistani, rejected portions of the charter. The enactment of an interim constitution represents a key step in the U.S. plan to hand over power to Iraqis on June 30.
Bush, delivering his weekly radio address, didn't mention the unwelcome developments at all.
It's the mirror image of his insistence that Iraq didn't let inspectors in before the invasion - instead of insisting that something which happened, didn't, he's now insisting that something which didn't happen, did.
lemuel's comment on the sad passing of the ghost of Atrios is the best.
/
Josh has changed his wording. Now it reads "Atrios is Spot..."
...who is also dead.
I like this guy more everyday:
HOUSTON - Challenging President Bush on his home turf, John Kerry decried a “four-year trail of broken promises” that he said have left economic ruin and given free rein to corporate polluters.
“George Bush is a walking contradiction and a walking barrel of broken promises,” the presumptive Democratic presidential candidate said Saturday, speaking to several hundred supporters at a community college.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4466204/
Spot out.
BTW, did anyone notice that one of Will Safire's predictions for the year has already gone awry...
He might as well get used to being wrong. He's going to have a bad year.
Indeed, I seem to recall him picking Howard Dean to be the Dem candidate in November as well.
We had to destroy the Atrios in order to save it.
Its a slow day on here jeeeeez
OK, Atrios isn't dead, but I played the recording of his radio appearance with Andrew Sullivan backwards, and it revealed that he's actually one of the guys from Klaatu!
calling occupants of interplanetary most extraordinary craft
So if Sid Blumenthal is also still alive, then that proves he is you!

Looking through a glass onion
I told you about Atrios and me-man
You know that we're as close as can be-man
Well here's another clue for you all
Atrios was Paul
speaking of right straight dead Jack's-a-pierogi spot on:
More like this please
At "homepage" and here, Naomi Klein criticized Thomas "They won't kill us, they need us for workers" Schindler-Friedman, to whom all brownskinned persons look and act alike. Well, more like she grabs the bitch arse-of-power-kissing shameless liar dreckgolem by the ears and rides-to-break, claiming him and letting him know "his" new name is Daisy Mae before forcing "him" to obviate Klein's need for tampons and restrooms...well, it was pretty nasssty, in a strangely very good way.
Good thing for Daisy "he" pays no attention to critics or evidence.
"Bush Administration's" quote wins as best Dead Atrios post of the day (IMHO)
"We had to destroy the Atrios in order to save it. Bush administration"
Can I have your gray turtleneck?
Better dead than right (wing), I say.
George W. Bush commenced his excellent Iraqi adventure a year ago 19 March.
Who's going to NYC to protest with me March 20th?! :D
You'll know you're really dead if you start wanting to eat delicious brains.
Oh wait, that only happens to republicans.
Atrios, we hardly knew ye.
The old timers are in my head speaking in verse to Atrios (no, damnit I'm not channeling... just remembering)
Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
Macbeth, William Shakespeare
"The bell doth toll for him that thinks it doth ... No man is an island, entire of itself, every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend's or of thine own were: any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee."
John Donne, Meditation XVII
Isn't it:
Out, out brief candle?
or was it:
Out, out damned spot?
or was it:
"Here Spot! Here boy!?
I picked a wrong week to give up giving up.
All we need is for mel to make The Passion of the Atrios and the cycle is complete. Of course those damn un-American greeks will probably have something to say about it.
"greeks are just jews without the money!"

Spot out.
Spin in.
For all fabrics.
There is no difference between Atrios and Josh Marshall. They are the tweetledum and tweetledee of the blogosphere.
Ralph,
You think we're talking "twin sons of different mothers"? Eh?
This could be a message to me from Mt. Olympus. I'm currently doing the musical "Blood Brothers", by Willy Russell, about twin boys separated at birth, who don't know they are brothers, but become best friends.
Eventually, at the end of the show both brothers die (not your basic Rodgers and Hammerstein fare), but ... hehehe... what are tangents for if not for a little mental gymnastics.

Rock on Atrios!
Rock on Thersites
.....
Atrios, I hope I look as good as you do when I'm dead.
I like that film, Mars Spirit Rover. In my musical, one of the main characters (a child at the time who grows up during the play) cries and says he doesn't want to die. His little girl friend (soon to become his girlfriend and then his wife) comforts him, and tells him that everybody dies, and that one good thing is that he won't have to go to school anymore. This show is heavy on symbolism throughout, but a great show, and has proven to be cathartic for the high schoolers that performed it both times.
People will say, "Why is she talking about this?"
I think that almost everything is connected to everything else. But, besides that the show's about all those things we talk about here... life and death and brothers (sisters) and mother love, and the class system on the Happy Planet, and about how we know in the end that it's not all just a game. Some things are for keeps.
Whew. For a minute there I thought I was going to have to go change my "I am Atrios" window sticker to read "I was Atrios."
On the other hand, I did have a devastating outfit picked out for the funeral...
Death is everywhere. Where's a broom?
Tena,
We musicians do all black attire with stunning accents for the performances... they'd work for a funeral. I'd volunteer to sing "Amazing Grace". LOL
I am Atrios.
Quentin: Death is everywhere. Where's a broom?

Little Ricky, you're being made fun of a couple of threads down. Why not go and back up your lies?
And when I die and when I'm dead, dead and gone,
there'll be one child born and a world to carry on, to carry on.
I'm not scared of dying and I don't really care.
If it's peace you find in dying, well, then let the time be near.
If it's peace you find in dying, when dying time is here,
just bundle up my coffin cause it's cold way down there,
I hear that's it's cold way down there, yeah, crazy cold way down there.
And when I die and when I'm gone,
there'll be one child born and a world to carry on, to carry on.
My troubles are many, they're as deep as a well.
I can swear there ain't no heaven but I pray there ain't no hell.
Swear there ain't no heaven and pray there ain't no hell,
but I'll never know by living, only my dying will tell,
only my dying will tell, yeah, only my dying will tell.
And when I die and when I'm gone,
there'll be one child born and a world to carry on, to carry on.
Give me my freedom for as long as I be. All I ask of living is to have no chains on me.
All I ask of living is to have no chains on me,
and all I ask of dying is to go naturally, only want to go naturally.
Don't want to go by the devil, don't want to go by the demon,
don't want to go by Satan, don't want to die uneasy, just let me go naturally.
And when I die and when I'm gone, there'll be one child born, there'll be one child born.
When I die, there'll be one child born. When I die, there'll be one child born.
When I die, there'll be one child born. When I die, there'll be one child born.

So I check in here and it turns out Atrios is dead. Or not. So I thought I might make a joke about turtlenecks.
It's been done.

It's been done.
I really have to be quicker.
Uh, Donna? I think you misattributed one line from above:
"It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."
I'm pretty sure that was Howard Dean's response to Bush's 2003 SOTU address.

You have way too much time on your hands for someone a heartbeat and a few brain cells away from the simpering little Smirk. Isis will get you.
Sod off...
Yeah, well the GreenBush Economy plan has Warren making statements like;
"..pathetically low interest rates..."
Which will nudge and finally pronounce our inept Supreme Court selected govmint as DOA in the eyes of those that are beholden to it the most.
Phuck'em, sometimes your the head, and other times your the ass, never did I think they would be so good at being both, while still claiming oxygen exists in their very own phantasm-
Lurch Rocks! and Cousin It is surefire destined to be out, door pattern emblazoned and branded on his unelected Marlboro Man posterior, just as sure as their overreacharound, and obvious futile attempt to prop up exports on the "weak dollar" has shot the US Voter right in the ass at the import pump.
No conservatives I know listen any longer with any certitude to their crass propaganda, the only pleasure ride benefit being the incredible burn rate we are about to witness that will backfire like a NASA mission managed by a cheap-labor conservative, politically hacked and scientifically vacant bunch led by a clone like their King Knave-

Really, we don't know how up to speed the Eschatonic are on wicca, mysticism, Thelema, the universality of the "pre-patriarchal/aryan mystery goddess snake thing" whatever, but Vandal's "craft" is the most un-Amazonian/wiccan thing we've ever come across. It's straight patriarchal dichotomy, really a far worse perversion of Zoroastrianism where everything is black and white, but Ahura Mazda and Satan are completely "objective" and it doesn't matter what side you're on. It is very Rethug, morally, it is like the metaphysical subtext of a War Movie. Us versus Them, whichever side you're on, the others are Nasty Evil Ones.
Vandal, if he is not a IUdaybyday-style hoax, is far more frightening in his bizare stabs at religion than his self-endangering support for the cross-worshippers, and his idea of "Amazons" is typical of Stephen Pressfield's/Star Trek/the patriarchal Greek male mythologists themselves: like Gunga Din, a nice complementary offsetting to the Real Heroes but incapable of anything on their womanish own. Gross.
You know, someday Atrios may actually have to kill off Atrios in order to regain his real identity. It would be like a Nabokov novel - The Gift, maybe, or Despair.
Donna, Kos and DHinMI have done an excellent job skewering Bush today.
Frankly, Bush can't even display sound and fury. He's just an idiot.
No! The Real Life of Sebastian Knight - that's it. That's exactly it.
Awesome re-read, folks:
He's a very angry guy, a hostile guy, He's much like Nixon
And now so are we, except of course, the Nixon part...
Lately, Bush and Cheney have been doing a bang-up job of campaigning for Big John. I'm not surprised that Tom Delay suddenly decided to take a stand in opposition to Bush - I think he can smell the toast burning.
Atrios is both dead and not dead. We won't know for sure until we see Atrios. Thanks a lot Schroedinger.

Tena
Yeah, and what if this Atrios personality refuses to go.....
RF - that was fucking scary. I think it is right - I've always thought that Bush had a whole lot in common with Nixon - right from the start. But I think too that he makes him out to be more powerful than he is. Nixon suffered from overwhelming insecurity, and that is one thing that fed his anger. I think that Bush is exactly that way - he is rigid because he's very insecure. I think he's mean as a snake, just like Nixon was. I think he's so out of here - and he's getting the easy exit, unlike Nixon.
Mars - Oh man, I likes it, I likes it a lot.
kei & yuri,
Frankly, I think he's just making all that shit up. Which puts him on the same level as the rest of the world's religions, in my book.
People should worship who I worship - Ron Wood - for he will not only bring you rock & roll, he'll also bring beer and Jameson.
By the way ... Isis is my cat. (named of course after the Goddess), but nevertheless... she'll get them all, cat hair and litter boxes all over the house. It's more than a mere mortal can bear. Plus, that look in her eye that says: if you were not feeding me you'd be food as soon as you stopped breathing.
And thanks to Pie for including me in such an illustrious group of human beings. I am a humble and dastardly Left Coast small "a" anarchist, one of those boomers your mother told you to watch out for. (information for those writing my bio) ROFLMAO!
Tena,
Difference is, Nixon was pretty sharp, politically. True, it was his insecurity and paranoia that led to his downfall, but he was a pretty clear-minded political player. With all due respect to Mr. Miller, I've yet to see any indication that Bush The Lesser has a friggin' clue. I've said it o'er and o'er, I don't like loathing the president this much, but I'll be dipped in buttermilk if I can think of anything positive to say about anything he's done.

"Atrios is Spot.."
So where's Santorum?

Sure does!
Plenty of us noticed, Ron, we just didn't mention it because we're in on the scam ... like Paul McC., Atrios has been replaced by a fake in order to keep the popular franchise going.
Actually, around this place I'm sure that lots of people noticed, I was just saying that nobody had mentioned it. Now, to join in on the scam I guess I should say something like this:
If Atrios is dead, then who did all those great pop tunes like "With a Little Luck" and "Mary Had a Little Lamb" back in the 70s? Who did "Say, Say, Say?" Who did "Biker Like an Icon?" Atrios must be alive...
Laura Nyro was not a Republican. No way.
And non-Brits who say "spot on" instead of "correct" or "right" are just a tad precious for my taste.
In the words of the great Donne,
Death, thou too shalt die.
Backslider - Nixon was smarter than Bush in general. Where Bush's genius lies is in raising money. He is a Repug rainmaker extraordinaire. Other than that, though, he really doesn't have a clue.
Alas, poor Howard, I knew him, Horatio...
Damn it, now I have to watch Branagh's freaking 4 hour movie. It's hard having OCD...
who did all those great pop tunes like "With a Little Luck" and "Mary Had a Little Lamb" back in the 70s? Who did "Say, Say, Say?" Who did "Biker Like an Icon?"
Personally, I always thought that was the most compelling evidence that McCartney really did die in the late '60s (which may be your point).
Tena
he's getting the easy exit, unlike Nixon.
Remember in '96, the meme that nobody should vote for Clinton because he was bound to be impeached? If Bush has a second term, he will get nailed, just like Nixon. He'll be lucky if he loses.
And they call us Bush haters! We're actually doing the man a favor, making sure he loses.
NTodd: Damn it, now I have to watch Branagh's freaking 4 hour movie. It's hard having OCD...
Hehe... sorry... from one obsessive to another... Not sorry I love Branaugh's verision. It's worth it. Pay attention to his "to be or not to be" facing the mirror. It's inspired.
Unlike Shrub, when Nixon was left alone in a room, the room remained occupied.
Hunter Thompson said so.
How do we know with any certainty that Atrios is only one person?
and, if he is one person, how many mysteriosu people would crawl out of the woodwork for his funeral? that would be a news story
Guess they didnt get the BEWARE OF THE IDES OF MARCH MEMO! sssstttuupid
Damn! I was sure that the ricin pellet in the umbrella trick would work! Curses, foiled again!
Oh my God! They killed Atrios!

You can watch the Mel Gibson version. It's pretty decent and a whole lot shorter.

Bingo! Which means, I guess, that I'm actually saying that Atrios is dead because...well...jeez, this whole "Paul is dead" thing has been confusing me since I was in the seventh grade.
Atrios isn't dead. He's just brain dead. Today he underwent the Democratic rite of passage. He got a lobotomy.
W.C. Fields wanted his epitaph to read
On the whole, I'd rather be in Philadelphia
Algernon: Oh! No! Bunbury doesn't live here. Bunbury is somewhere else at present. In fact, Bunbury is dead.
Lady Bracknell: Dead! When did Mr. Bunbury die? His death must have been extremely sudden.
Algernon: Oh! I killed Bunbury this afternoon. I mean poor Bunbury died this afternoon.
Lady_Bracknell: What did he die of?
Algernon: Bunbury? Oh, he was quite exploded.
Lady_Bracknell: Exploded! Was he the victim of a revolutionary outrage? I was not aware that Mr. Bunbury was interested in social legislation. If so, he is well punished for his morbidity.
Algernon: My dear Aunt Augusta. I mean he was found out! The doctors found out that Bunbury could not live, that is what I mean -- so Bunbury died.
(from The Importance of Being Earnest)
But...Franco is still dead, right?
I... buried... Atrios...
Atrios has died and resurrected? I hope it's not because he was bitten by Novakula...
O, Timely Undeath!
So, Since we all said we are Atrios, that means we are all undead now, right?
Thank goodness Atrios can still continue blogging.
Thank goodness Josh was able to make Atrios undead.
Whew! Can you imagine the Atrios funeral. Open casket and lying in there would be a gray turtleneck.

I remember reading that article when it came out.
It really punctuates the notion that Bush doesn't give a sh*t about normal people.
I remember my grandmother, being from Kentucky, talking about how she could smell out a person by the way they talked and moved. Sort of a body lanquage all it's own.
I remember the women reading my mind she was that good.
What's funny about this is how it seemed to be a skill all the old ladies of the town had whether they were bottomlanders or mountainsiders.
All hillbillies could do it.
I just wonder how in the world Bush was able to get by without these rustic backwater folks picking up on it?
Old men who could tell when it was about to rain because their arthritis acted up, and elderly ladies sniffing out the 'revenuers' like granny from the Beverly Hillbillies.
Then I remembered how today most of those old ladies spend their time watching Jerry Springer, which when combined with Karl Rove doing his hardest to keep Bush out of any spotlight, seemed to explain how nobody could sniff him out for being the spoiled richboy narcissist he is.

please tell me george should beware the ides of march. or september. whichever works.

Been there, done that.
I had some receipts for a convention stolen from my car, and the rumor was that I was killed in a fiery car crash that burnt up the receipts.
BTW, If you read your blog backwards, it says, "Atrios is Dead".
Atrios isn't dead. He's just brain dead. Today he underwent the Democratic rite of passage. He got a lobotomy.
Wow! Who knew Dennis Miller posted here?
I'm glad Atrios is a Beatles fan
I know where Santorum is. He's in orbit around Uranus.
Assorted quotes: Damn it, now I have to watch Branagh's freaking 4 hour movie. It's hard having OCD...
NTodd
You can watch the Mel Gibson version. It's pretty decent and a whole lot shorter.
Adam 4-4-2
Adam, dear heart ... can we talk? Mel's version... a pale and sickly sister to the Branaugh film. Spend the extra 70 minutes for a director and actor who has a grasp of performances and such more Shakespearean. Mel's Hamlet is does not compare do Kenneth's. Nope. No way.
Carry on.
do=to...
This is what I get coming home from playing piano for a musical then trying to think enough to post. Fingers don't match brain. Shame on me... And my right wrist hurts, damnit. I'm supposed to play smarter than that. Not a good thing. Boo, hiss.
OK, Atrios isn't dead, but I played the recording of his radio appearance with Andrew Sullivan backwards, and it revealed that he's actually one of the guys from Klaatu!
calling occupants of interplanetary most extraordinary craft
Excellent reference, but my favorite track has to be "Sub Rosa Subway":
As for America's first subway,
The public scoffed, "It's far too rude!"
One station filled with Victoria's Age,
From frescoed walls and goldfish fountains,
To Brahmsian tunes...
not relevant, I know...

THE PASSION OF THE ATRIOS
Scene: Philadelphia. Night. A skyline.
Score: Peter Gabriel
Everyone in Philadelphia (singing): AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
We ZOOM IN on an apartment, A mid-30s man in a gray turtleneck types furiously at his computer.
SUDDENLY A computer cable comes to life.
EVIL COMPUTER VOICE:
Ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha ha! I am Satan! And, YES, I am a Republican!
The computer cable proceeds to WHIP the mild-mannered man for five straight minutes, in slow-motion, also partially electrocuting Atrios.
ATRIOS
AaaaghghhhH!
(To be continued)...
You know, someday Atrios may actually have to kill off Atrios in order to regain his real identity. It would be like a Nabokov novel - The Gift, maybe, or Despair.
Tena
At least he's not Gogol's The Nose. That would be gross.
EPT sez:
At least he's not Gogol's The Nose. That would be gross.
Greatist short story ever.
Ah, those beaurocrats!
Dead? No excuse for laying off work.
Gee, and I had a casserole ready for after the funeral and everything...
His was a short-lived death, gidget c.
But you might want to freeze that funerole, and have it handy for Dennis Miller. Some unspeakable disease they say. Or don't say, actually.
That is not dead which
can eternal lie, and after strange eschatons even death may die
Had you joined Al Qaida's Leadership Circle like I advised, they'd never have taken you down, old bean. Pity.
"So, Since we all said we are Atrios, that means we are all undead now, right?"
Only way to tell is to look around. If you can see Dick Cheney, then you know that you're undead.
Hey Atrios,
Totally seriously--do us a favor and tell your parents or somesuch to tell the world if something _does_ happen to you--if, say, you're sick and need some help.
"When Johnny Jupiter needed to send an emissary to Earth he touched Reject the Robot, and said 'Super Jelly Bean Power.' When Reject arrived, he could only be seen by Mr. Duckweather."
-
Turn me on dead man! Turn me on dead man! The walrus is atrios! The walrus is atrios!
I hope you get to see Christopher Plummer at Lincoln Center. His King Lear is definitive.
