I'm about to blaspheme, but maybe the second act will come when we finally put the purple (inside) joke to rest.

I listened to a lot of youtube eulogies of Patrice O'Neal and one remark I heard often was that you couldn't become his friend until after you proved that you can "take a beating." In other words, when he first met you, he would subject you to the most brutal spontaneous one-man roast imaginable and if you laughed it off instead of getting pissed, you could now be his friend.

Old Man Murray was certainly ugly. But it was never as "fuck you" ugly as Caltrops.

The other remark about O'Neal was how he was never, ever, as successful as his talent deserved; and he spent his whole life watching hack after marketing-savvy hack outshine him.

icycalm's insomnia.ac had horrible, horrible articles, and sources indicate that culture.vg is even worse. Yet he's got over 100 people paying for the privilege of reading his tripe in the middle of a global recession. Why? Well I can't help but notice that his site has a seriously slick-looking frontpage.

There may be other reasons, but at this point can we all agree that the exit of the Cables hasn't produced a huge influx of new posters?
