 TODAY'S TOP STORY
Duo Hordes All the Mozzies!
Orlady  and Chris2001 Prove Unstoppable!
MOZZIE CENTRAL- With the exception of category specific awards, all but a handful of Mozzies seemed to go to a pair of editors. At press time there was talk of a possible recall, but there is considerable confusion among backers over just what court has jurisdiction over a world-wide cyber-society. 

 

While Orlady and Chris refused interviews due to pending litigation, rumors that next year  they plan to make an assault on the ultimate prize, Most Embarrassing Dmoz Moment, were neither confirmed nor denied. 


How the forum REALLY works.
In every dialogue there are at least two messages. Here's a candid look at how that works. 

You may recognize a few of these.

Here's the message we tried to send Here's what those reading actually saw 
FEEL MY WRATH ! Pull my finger.
ROFL. If you think I'm putting names on these things you must be high!
No, Fab, scrolling down will not work.
One more crack about me "beating the baby" and I'm gonna hurt someone. Of course I'm a real cowgirl !
  HEADLINES OF THE DAY
Maybe I should have voted FIRST.THOSE WHO DIDN'T KILL SELVES WIN SPECIAL ACHIEVEMENT AWARD 
MOZZIELAND-- By a landslide Dmoz editors voted a Special Achievement Mozzie to all who stayed positive and didn't harm themselves or others during the rolling server blackouts. 

The results might have been skewed by a certain non-response bias on the part of those who actually DID harm themselves, but then we're probably just being pedantic because this paper came in second. :-p 

KCTIPTON wins Most Evil Meta 
WEST TEXAS -- In other award news, KCTipton was voted the honorable title of Most Evil Meta by an astounding 115% of the voters. Asked if the odd voting return figure indicated foul play, he said, "Hey, this IS for the most evil, right?"

Sparks Fly in "LUZER" Copyright
STAFF - After a 5th consecutive win for Biggest Luzer, Robjones shocked staff by announcing that he had copyrighted the term after his 4th, and they now owed him a settlement for using it in an election. Netscape lawyers verified the fact, and are trying to arrange a settlement. When told Mr. Jones would drop the suit if he was granted meta, staff reportedly said they'd rather just pay the money.

EDITOR POLL

An editor "farking" won Best Ed in a cat named World / Behasa_Melayu. Did somebody make all that up to see if we were watching? 

 
STILL MORE NEWS
Because the other side of the page is long.

DMOZ Shocked as Editor Arrested
WORLD FRANCE- Before an international audience, authorities pursued editor Foetusized in a high speed chase through several forums. After nearly catching him in Ontology, authorities nabbed the fugitive entering the World France Cafe. 

Arrested on a record 1723 counts, the shadow of the indictment weighed more than 4.5 pounds. Leading editors called it a "total surprise", as they had no way of knowing what he'd been up to.

ETOILE Leaves for Hollywood
Hot on the heels of her "Cutest Editor" victory, editor Etoile has been contacted by MGM to star in a remake of Pretty Woman. "We thought the first version was ok, said the casting director, but until we saw Etoile we didn't realize just how wrong Julia Roberts was for the part. Honestly, isn't this just the cutest kid you've seen? 

Oh, WHEW! I thought they said Mjflick!GLIPPITT / ONEEYE Split "Best Regional"
Editor's Glippitt and Oneeye split the coveted "Best Regional" award, with Orlady graciously bowing into second. The pair had little to say until a stunned Glippitt said, "Wait, I won this AND Best Cat-Editor? Does this mean I might finally get Editall?"

FLORIDA DEMANDS RECOUNT 
On seeing the results of "Editor I'd Most Like to Meet in Person", 15 Florida editors said they'd accidentally voted for robjones because on their ballot it looked like it said "Prison". "I saw staff say they read it that way too". Asked if he would give up the award Jones said "Hey, I only GOT 15 votes, so one of 'em is lying since I voted for myself. Wait... you're writing this down?"

GEORGDLG QUITS AFTER LEARNING DEFINITION
In a move as predictable as the beatings after the North Koreans learned about the "Hawaiian Good Luck symbol", editor Georgdlg left after learning what Luzer really meant. "That's the last time I listen to those guys" was typed in every cat he resigned. Staff is said to be looking into just what he was told. 

JCAND & COSSACK SHARE "BEST BIZ"
Jcand & Cossack shared the business award, and amazingly the runner up wasn't Orlady. Runner up Dlugan said he'd personally like to thank Orlady for not taking it, and wondered aloud how she'd failed to get this one too.

No real reason for putting this here, but I needed something to fill the space. I still liked the other one better. :-p

The Daily Editor® is not worth the paper it's written on, which is why it's on the web instead of paper. You'd have figured that out though.

This is the fool who writes most of this drivel
