TPiR, what did I miss? Options

[pentellit]

Hi, I’ve been on vacation in a TOTAL Dead Zone, what did I miss?
I heard that;
- Roger Dobkowitz did an online interview that was also a thinly disguised effort at Damage Control which is necessary because people are starting to talk openly now about Barker not retiring voluntarily . So of course Bob’s Boy lied thru his teeth i.e. “Bob was at the end of a 5 year contract” (important lawsuit-wise) when in fact Barker was just beginning a 5 year contract as Bobbo himself had announced in a radio interview, and the news of which was joyfully reported on g-r.net. Tsk, tsk Roger.
-Drew Carey set up a twitter blog/new Official TPiR site.
-All kinds of public figures died.
-And the price of gasoline is up over $3 again.
Did I miss anything else? ;)

You know, everything with you has to be a conspiracy theory, doesn't it? For as much of a genius as Roger is, he's also a bit of a scatterbrain -- he once swore up and down to ClockGameJohn that Give or Keep hadn't survived the 1970s (and to his credit, he corrected himself the next day). With the length of Bob's contract being essentially meaningless, as he had an "out" clause after every season, I can understand how the beginning and end of one might not seem much different to someone who was constantly trying to get him not to retire.

-Drew Carey set up a twitter blog/new Official TPiR site.

Apparently "official" Twitter (@tpirhost), "personal" Twitter (@DrewFromTV), and his blog.

-And the price of gasoline is up over $3 again.

Huh. I paid $2.49 yesterday.

Regular "went down" to $2.43 near my house.

You forgot "- Francisco Franco is still dead."

/Was down to $2.56 the other day, but is creeping back up again.
//$2.63 at last check.

Drew had these choice words on his new blog:

a TPIR "fan" site that seems, at first glance, to be chock full of people that are metaphorically out on the street with their pants down yelling at a telephone pole. It's not, totally.

If it's the same site I'm thinking of, they do bicker a lot over there but to describe them as a bunch of lunatics with their pants down yelling at telephone poles is taking it WAY over the top.

Fremantle wants to revive priceisright.com in order to have a discussion board under corporate control. That will be fine for rumor control as they can spew out the party line, but I don't think it'll be the happening place for unfettered discussion and yelling at telephone poles.

In California, gas is over $3 per gallon in most places.
