Receiving Me? Strike

Dec 19th, 2008 | By Pates Baroni | Category: News

Shatner or Bust!Philadelphia, PA - It has been a grueling 24 days since Leslie Fox and Pates Baroni last wrote articles for Receiving Me?, the faux online magazine. This has dealt a serious blow to circulation, as the magazine’s readership is limited to Mrs. Fox and Mrs. Baroni. Management has done well to maintain new articles with the contributions of Bernard Bygott and Freeman Frohlich, but the strain on resources is undeniable. When asked how long they could stay afloat without the assistance of Fox and Baroni, Bygott replied “I’m going to file a restraining order. Get off my porch.”

To date no one has asked why either contributer is on strike. Indeed there are rumors that Fox is just busy and Baroni lazy. While this would be the opportune forum for a disclosure of demands, it would be rather anticlimactic, since nobody wants to meet them.

Still, both columnists show no sign of letting up, except in the case of Baroni, who had to cross the proverbial picket line to write this article. Further complicating issues, Baroni never took the time to learn how to post a picture. With Fox on strike, this article will have to wait for Bygott to post a pic. Awkward…

About The Author: Pates Baroni

Pates is extremely similar to Rupunzel, but without hair. Maybe, if he gets his act together, he will type something here that doesn't make him sound like a lazy bastard. We have our doubts. It would also be helpful if he wrote articles.

    old-fashion, old-fashioned (adj.)

    Old-fashioned is the conventionally formed participial adjective, and old-fashion is a variant, made (according to the Oxford English Dictionary) of the noun fashion rather than the verb and now obsolete. Old-fashion has reappeared, however, and is criticized in much the same way and for the same reason that ice cream once was and handicap parking is now.
