What the...?
Question: What in the world is this new publication? What kind of a diseased
mind could possibly conceive of such a thing?
Answer: A very good question, indeed. Attempting to pull these pages
together is a poor wretch who is still recovering from nearly two decades in community
journalism (the horror! the horror!). He must be pitied. As the victim of a shattered
mind, he decided that he would like to add a little fun to his life. What better place
than the World Wide Web? He is, needless to say, not to be taken seriously. Only through
numerous aliases, changes of address and elaborate disguises has he managed to avoid
capture, conviction and incarceration as a danger to himself and society. He should be
given some latitude as you examine his observations, rantings and generally asynchronous
syntax. He currently works in the silicone rubber industry in order to become familiar
with the material which will line the room he eventually expects to inhabit.
Reality Check
Q: Call me skeptical, but a lot of what I've read in your
"Pseudonews Review" section seems to be, well, made up. Is any of this stuff
actually on the level?
A: Not a very good question, at all. First day with the new brain? The
answer to this question can be found in the definition of "pseudo," a prefix
found in your common, everyday, household dictionary. Look it up. Do not ask this question
again. It is not wise to anger Answerman.
Future View
Q: Seeing as how this is your first edition, how can you possibly have
any questions to
answer? Are you clairvoyant or something?
A: An excellent question. How about you? How can you possibly have
submitted a question about a publication before it existed? In truth, Answerman cannot see
into the future, at least not very far. However, Answerman's job description includes the
requirement that he anticipate questions and fabricate advance answers. By the way, the
answer to your next question is: "Tomorrow, and it's really going to hurt like the
dickens."
