Somebody needs to blow the lid off this thing. Yes, I’m talking about what goes on behind-the-scenes at A News Café dot com. The real “dish” as it were. The stuff only the help overhear. You may think it’s all peaches and 2% milk fat around here, but I got news for you, there’s stuff going on that would curl your tire iron. Hearsay and innuendo? Yeah, but that’s what the public wants, ain’t it? For example…
- Did you know the cartoonist for A News Café dot com can’t even draw a reasonable likeness of the parrot on the back of those matchbooks? That’s why you never see any aviary jokes on this website. Now you know.
- Did you know that Doni and Kelly aren’t in the same room together when they write their “Friday Dish”? I didn’t. I guess they use some new-fangled technology called the “webernet” (I think Dan Quayle invented it).
- Were you aware a certain “columnist” who has a regular “booth” here at the café is in the habit of asking for tips? Right there at the end of his column he asks you to “send tips,” a blatant, shameless plea to usurp the customary café/patron social contract that leaves yours truly outside the whole “gratuity circle.” Fortunately, I see his cream puff before he does. “Vengeance is mine!” sayeth the busboy.
There’s lots more, but I’ve got to sign off now. I have some “pastry prep” to take care of. Coming right up, Mr. Brewer!
