Glaring Omissions: Good & Not So Good Stuff
Glaring Omissions reproduces tips received from readers in the last week that weren't covered on Gawker, either by accident (rarely) or design (almost always). Feel free to remark on these items' relative worthiness for coverage and/or relative stupidity. And, as ever, we're open to suggestions for future posts either via email or in the comments below.
• "Amanda Congdon is buying Google AdSense ads. But what's even funnier is how I found out."
• "I do what they tell me to do. - Marianne Garvey."
• "Granta has some good stuff. Also some not so good stuff. The New Yorker often has good articles and stories."
- "i could write a charming summary of how i shit my pants in peru, or i could write a charming summary of a christmas party i went to hosted by a senior editor at time out. he's my friend. the highlight of the charming summary of the holiday party would be that he put some salami into the inner pocket of my leather jacket, and i knew as he was putting it in that i would forget about. then on thursday of last week i was putting my leather jacket on and felt something in the pocket, and guess what, it was the fucking salami. also, that he was recently engaged and went to a high end resort in the seychelles that had giant centipedes falling from the roof of their cabana or what have you."
- "I don't know if this will ever get to you Lockhart, but I saw the article in THE POST on Page 6 and had to say hello. Hope all is well and please let me know if you ever need paper. Happy Holidays!!!"
- "you are starting to cross the line on the jewish jokes. please ease up."
- "O.J!!! Thats right O.J Simpson today at your mama's house biatch with his bran new butchers knife. Oh right get a life you bunch of fucking loosers! Im riach biatch!!!"
- "By the way, the parasite mentioned in the 'clubhopping' article is a common in cat feces (and cats). It's the reason pregnant women aren't supposed to clean the cat litter. People commonly become infected through their cats, who become infected from rodents."
- "I got nothin', but I was kind of surprised to see a link to Gawker on John Edwards' campaign web site."
- "What the fuck! Do foreign vacationers on "holiday" come to New York just to stand in Starbucks. It's is impossible to enter a starbucks in midtown right now without being packed in with 5 different families of 12 hoarding around the pastry display case."
- ""it's so minor, and yet as a St. Louisan, I need to weigh in that while Affton probably technically is in St. Louis county (maybe.... let's ask Derek), it's unjustifiably proud of itself and its residents never say they're from St. Louis, they say they're from Affton. You know, like Affton's favorite son, John Goodman. Affton is St. Louis's south Jersey. Only here we call 'em 'hoosiers.' Genevieve's bff is a hoosier!!!! hahahahaha""
- "Why is Lindsay Lohan not listed in the celebrity search photo gallery? When did this happen? There are still some pictures of her (for example, one from the odd blonde-bob phase with Gwyneth), but she's not listed as an entry. Por ejemplo. Paris is still there. (Yikes, Paris has made some bad fashion choices. The pink getup with sis in front of Radio City must have been pre-stylist. But that peacock dress is hot.)"
