I'MMA LET YOU FINISH
Thanks dude.
I'm gonna miss ya.
Sigh, now I'm going to delete the bookmark to your site and never think of you again.
O thank god, now I can have a life again.
ATRIOS- I hope our gov't had NOTHING to do with this decision.
WTF? Goodbye? What has happened to cause this, at this particular moment? Death threats? Blackmail?
WTF?
Ohmigod! Now what do I do? ARtios, I sure am gonna miss you! Now get outta here.
Tena, now we can hang out here all day long too! Someone inform Holden!
WTF???
Anything we can do to change your mind?
Artios, artios, we hardly knew ye.
Yeah.. Artios, how dare you abandon us!
Crap. We've lost Artios.
At least we still have Atrios.
I guess the first amendment is only for the people who have the muscle to enforce it.
Atrios, we'll miss you badly. Please let Kos know what this is about, so we can understand what happened. And perhaps plague whoever is responsible.
grr!
ok, I get it. look at the URL in the browser.
clever wingnuts!
see you in November!!
LOL!

How many times have I mistakenly typed "Artios" for "Atrios"? It's been awhile, though, and so I had no idea this joke site had been created. A *very* good forgery (but then, all you needed to do was to copy the source from the real Eschaton and then add your "Goodbye!" post).
adios, artios! good thing atrios is still around!
I am Artios!
Heh. Good one.
Yeah, I also heard that billman was quitting, talkingpiontsmemo is shutting down, and calpudnit has taken a vow of incommunicado.
Now this is a decent practical joke. Subtle, well done, not a lot of actual work.
Alas poor Artios, I knew him well
Artios (tm) is a good name for a breakfast cereal. Multi-colored nutrition-packed nuggets which can be either eaten or used for art pieces. Pointillism never died.
I guess this counts as satire.
Now, if we can just get the Chimperor and his puppetmasters and thugs to resign and turn themselves in for judgement at The Hague, the world will be a better place.
See ya around, Artios. I hear President Kerry's going to need a few former gym teachers in his Cabinet. I was getting bored with your insightful and incisive posts, anyway.
oh, hell, what am I going to do, now?
I hope it was your own decision.
Yup, you did have me going....
http://artios.blogspot.com/
close enough to be Trios!
Aren't you the same guys who forged Baghdad Burning's site?
Nice try. Except that I wonder how the advertisers feel about having their posts copied onto ANOTHER site without having to pay for them.
Uh, wait a minute...
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery - even by wingnuts.
Its the big one, Elizabeth!
Hey, you're lucky. I let my domain registration lapse.
Subtle, funny, nicely done.
I wonder if littlegreenfoobtalls.com is available...
Please say you're kidding.
Please.
;_;
I suggest everyone donate a lot of money from THIS spoof site to the Kerry campaign.
Heh.
another poor wingnut cracks under the pressure of seeing his Chimperor fail miserably and has to create his own alternate reality as a pathetic means of coping.
so sad, so veddy veddy sad.
Ah, you didn't fool me for a minute. However, I had to take an ambulance ride to Hahnemann for my heart, and I told them to bill you.
funny.
no, artios! no!! what will we do without our beloved arty?
I figure, he's probably going to go work for Bush for President-2004. Whatcha think?
Oh, no! Now they've killed Artios, the bastards!
(I heard Art Bell is looking for an intern...)
ATRIOS- I hope our gov't had NOTHING to do with this decision.

Remember veritas, "Trust, but verify!"
Adios, Artios!
i quit too!
me too!
those substantive, non-hysterical conservative arguments were too much for me. i quit.
i quit, too. professor reynolds is just too smart!
Well, don't let the dooor hit you on the asss on the way out.
I'm drunk
rotfl, pretty good spoof.
thanks for giving the advertisers free exposure!
gulp.
wow.
umm.
crap.
Atrios: so sorry to see you go. will miss your insights. Good luck. Will look forward to having you back again.
Wow-That was close.
I wouldn't recommend donating to anything via this site as you don't know who it's really going to. Go to the real site to donate.
I do think the picture looks like the real Atrios however. RC
Oh, Arty! will miss you bunches!!
(kiss kiss)
Boy, this one had me going. Indigestion city!
Excellent. That picture is the best!
I regret to inform you, however, that The New Republic thinks you're not funny.
I'm going to miss Artios. He's as important to the blogosphere as Bizarro is to Superman's world...
I hear TNodd is leaving as well. My world is crumbling! (How was Newton? I was born there, you know)
Say whaaaaat? Say it ain't so!
Say whaaaaat? Artios is dead. Long live
Atrios!
I don't get it. Who cares who you are? I heard that you were a teacher, or someone in public that could be impacted if .... WHAT? That you're a Liberal? I mean progressive? That you have something to say, or, more accurately, notice what others say and do? For this you hide? And are, or feel threatened?
I don't get it. Isn't this the land of the Free? The home of the Brave?
Well you're always welcome to guest blog on Needlenose!!!!
Atrios, you're going to have to explain yourself better than that. Your blog is not a "publication" like Rosie calling it quits with her magazine. You built a community here, with an incredible number of loyal readers.
Your explanation is inadequate. You owe your readers more context. Context is what blogging is all about.
I hear TNodd is leaving as well. My world is crumbling! (How was Newton? I was born there, you know)
TNodd tells me that Newton was okay. Stayed in the Sheraton that straddles I-90--his room was right over the train tracks. Bogus.
Good to see you back, jr.
I'm going to miss you. Visiting here was as much a daily ritual as that first cup of coffee in the morning. Thanks....you did a lot of good here...more than you may ever realize.
