I am salty, I am old,
I have become what I behold.

Oooh, burrrnnnn...

That's how I feel about many movies/reading material that come out today, actually.

Don't get me wrong. Titillation has its place. But not in my beloved newspaper. It's like opening a bible and finding a clumsily graphic sex scene between Sarah and Abraham.

Thanks, Mom. I learned from the best.

Do I get any credit for showing the way? Or I am "the best"?

What way did you show, exactly? You are not quite the best, Joshua, but you are at least reasonably adequate.

I showed the way to writing crusty old man letters to the CT. I'm a pathbreaker ... love taker ... salt shaker, don't-you-mess-around-with-me.

This is not to suggest you are not in some ways a mentor to me, but with respect to this letter, any emulation is purely incidental. It was not until I had sent the letter and felt an eerie chill that I noticed the footsteps I had followed.

Josh, are you implying that you showed him how to be a salty old crackpot who writes letters to the editor?

You are crusty, and a bore,
You've become what we used to abhor.

You are ugly and not too bright,
But dammit, you are right!

Hey, what's the matter with kids these days?!

Are they really our future? Did someone not teach them well before letting them lead the way? But, hey, they can't take away my dignity. I'll always savor my CT memories. Back then when we knew what really important in collegiate journalism -- bickering over how many picas should border a pull-quote. Meanwhile, we ran top headlines with mispellings like "Almunus." At least we could put together one mean April Fool's edition. Medieval Times...oh, you guys...

Ethan, I'm not sure you're helping.

Go to Hell, E.

It was 4 a.m., and we've already raked ourselves over the coals for it. Way to open an old wound.

Hey! That "almunus" headline was all me, Mr. Ethos -- stop taking credit for things you had nothing to do with, you glory hound.
