Onion: An Oldie but Goodie

Had to go looking to find this:

MINNEAPOLIS, MN: In a turn of events the 30-year-old characterized as “horrifying,” Kevin Widmar announced Tuesday that his mother Lillian has discovered his weblog.

“Apparently, Mom typed [Widmar’s employer] Dean Healthcare into Google along with my name and, lo and behold, PlanetKevin popped up,” Widmar said. “I’m so fucked.”

In an e-mail sent to Widmar Monday, Lillian reported in large purple letters that she was “VERY EXCITED :)!!!” to find his “computer diary,” but was perplexed that he hadn’t mentioned it to her.

Upon receipt of the e-mail, Widmar mentally raced through the contents of his blog. He immediately thought of several dozen posts in which he mentioned drinking, drug use, casual sex, and other behavior likely to alarm his mother.

“I don’t have one of those sites that’s a big tell-all about one-night stands and wild parties,” Widmar said. “I mostly write about the animation I like or little things that happen to me and my friends. But there are definitely things in there that I wouldn’t, well, write home to Mom about.”

Fortunately for Widmar, Lillian’s comments about the site indicate that she has not delved deeply into its contents.

“Mom’s main comment was that I look tired in the photos from my birthday party, so I’m guessing that she didn’t get past the first page yet,” Widmar said. “She will, though. She will.”

Still tinkering with a blockquote stylesheet with MTMacro, thought I might as well entertain myself in the meantime.
