Our subscriber has spoken, and operation “Trust Us, This Is True” continues. The next entry in the series is a scientific analysis of the overall benefit of wasting time with us. Please remember that all if this is very accurate. If readers would like to acquire additional documentation, they are invited to request so in the comments section. In fact, … [continue]



Receiving Me? Plans Move to Venice

Dec 30th, 2008 | By Bernard Bygott | Category: Fondamenta degli Ormesini

After the successful merger of Receiving Me? and Facebook, and the resultant demand for what our beloved reader is referring to as “content”, RM? is looking to expand its operation outside the boundaries of what some call “my mom’s basement”. Fondamenta degli Ormesini columnist, Andrea Aguzzi, is currently scouting locations throughout the world. Although Venice tops the list of desirable … [continue]



Life Without Face

Dec 27th, 2008 | By Bernard Bygott | Category: Unhealthy Living

Finally it has become a real issue. I can still get away with ordering a “large coffee” at Starbuck’s without desecrating the Italian language. I rarely abbreviate words in the five or six text messages I write a month. I’m not particularly interested in how smart you are for knowing exactly when it became cool to switch from only buying … [continue]



The Best and Worst of Christmas Noise

Dec 23rd, 2008 | By Bernard Bygott | Category: Unhealthy Living

Christmas Heaven/Christmas Hell, EARTH - Every Christmas we either enjoy or suffer through the same holiday music. Even those of us who exclusively utilize radio for “talk programming” are incapable of escaping the vicious cycle. Shopping malls, elevators, and convenience stores everywhere pump in the merry noise from the last burp of Thanksgiving to the anti-climax of December 26th. Unfortunately, few people seem to be willing to pass judgment on these tunes, or, better yet, cut some of them from yearly tradition…. [continue]



Pro-Readership Propaganda deux

Dec 19th, 2008 | By Bernard Bygott | Category: Toxic Eye Candy

The Deep, Dark Recesses, INTERWEB - Due to the overwhelming success (it happened) of the initial entry in Receiving Me?’s Pro-Readership Propaganda movement, The Board of Director has decided to allow a second entry in the series, so long as the second entry maintains an “equally low standard in creative and artistic accomplishment.” No doubt the board will be thoroughly satisfied… [continue]



Receiving Me? Strike

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

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 … [continue]



Alan Colmes, 2008 Person Of The Year

Dec 17th, 2008 | By Bernard Bygott | Category: News

The Office @ Receiving Me? - The results are in, and Receiving Me? has named Alan Colmes 2008 Person Of The Year. Though Colmes faced stiff competition from President-Elect, Barack Obama, and that guy who won So You Think You Can Dance, Colmes’s last minute decision to leave Hannity and Colmes and Fox News, without even a token liberal, crushed … [continue]



Pro-Readership Propaganda

Dec 17th, 2008 | By Bernard Bygott | Category: Toxic Eye Candy

Somewhere no one is looking, HERE - Extreme lack of readership calls for extremely truthful advertising. In an attempt to reverse the segregation of Receiving Me? from “people who use the internet”, someone important (who we should all pretend is not me) has initiated operation “Trust Us, This Is True”– an advertising campaign with the core mission of exploring the catastrophic ramifications … [continue]



Criminalize Soccer

Dec 16th, 2008 | By Freeman Frohlich | Category: Athletic Support

A likely trio of illegal immigrants, liberal intelligentsia, and professional basketball players has joined forces to destroy America’s sporting traditions from within this free land.  Their goal is nothing less than destroying the American ideal of manhood through importing the “world’s game” to our shores, and implanting it in the soul of the nation’s youth.

Sport is a method … [continue]
