What’s Not On The Gray Lady’s iPhone?
“An earlier version of this article incorrectly stated the premise of ‘Angry Birds,’ a popular iPhone game. In the game, slingshots are used to launch birds to destroy pigs and their fortresses, not to shoot down the birds.” [NYT, via @pourmecoffee]
NPR this morning referred to the Straw That Stirred the Drink aka one of three people to hit 3 HRs in one Series game as Jesse Jackson.
@Nabisco: I’m sure Congressman Reggie Jr. asked for a correction.
That’s important work the NYT is doing there …
How the fuck do you write an article about a game without having at least watched someone play it?
@karen marie has her eyes tight shut: It was actually a book review of the new Steve Jobs biography. But this helps indicate the competence of the reviewer.
@nojo: Shit, I can write incompetently on all manner of subjects too, why don’t I have a job at the NY Times?
I’m not sure if this is incredibly funny or if I’m incredibly drunk. In any event…wait…typing is making me forget why it’s funny.
…
Heh. Yeah, it’s funny.
WTF with the [!] after Herman Munster? I’ve seen it, I haven’t gotten the joke, and now I’m so drunk that I don’t mind admitting that I have no fucking clue why pizza man gets an ! — the only person deserving an ! is ¡Andrew! and he fucking gets two, and one of them makes you turn your computer upside down and shit.
Back from nature walk with gun. Been going like a crazy man since Thursday and have not had a good night’s sleep since Tuesday or Wednesday. My brother’s girlfriend the wildlife biologist says we were in excellent habitat (which I located with map study and sat photos) but that the elk were freaked out and hiding after two bow hunts, two muzzleloader hunts and a previous rifle hunt last wee. The late season rifle hunt is a low percentage game.
Time for a drink, a bath and bed. Catch up with you guys later.
@JNOV: Merely following the Author!’s wishes.
@nojo: Wait — he does that shit to himself? Stupid fucker.
@JNOV: This is Herman Cain!
How can anyone resist?
Angry Birds is awesome. Angry Birds Rio is for pussies.
@Benedick: I’m a big fan of Plants v. Zombies on the iPhone. Check it out – well worth the $2.99.
