Image via WikipediaYou have to admit Jerry DeMarco is colorful. Here is his comment on my post about being isolated during the trial of my age-discrimination suit against The Record last week. It's not hard to guess that "Mama Crass" is none other than head Assignment Editor Deirdre Sykes. Apparently, "Mouth Breather" is Managing Editor Frank Burgos, the newsroom enforcer.
"Victor,
"From where did you expect support? ("from" at the end of the sentence is much more comfy, but I defer to your copy-editing expertise.)
"I honestly believe if you'd hired a real lawyer to handle the case, the outcome may have been different.
"Moreover, instead of wrongly lumping me in with your adversary, you might have considered seeking my assistance -- the way they did.
"Finally: Every time you point out a failing, you provide more guidance and instruction -- for free.
"Schoolgirl Scandale, the Mouth Breather, Mama Crass and her clueless crew (Claude & Troncone excluded) should remain clueless.
(Cue up Harry Chapin's "Dance Band on the Titanic")
"I've said it before and I'll say it again: Join the Pilot and help continue the rapid development of the meaningful alternative.
"Ask friends at The Record how often management looks at the site, cribs from the site, pursues stories that I break. Ask officials in various towns whom they'd rather deal with -- CVP or the Record.
"Imagine a world in which the abused, ejected talent bands together to build a better mousetrap.
"Look no further than Target. As the ignorant saying goes, "read up" on how that company began. By its nature, an LLC creates opportunities.... Why waste your intelligence, talent and institutional knowledge tilting at the windmill?
"Might as well make a good buck off it.
"Same offer applies to the rest of y'all. The time to sink or swim is comin' sooner than you think.
"For now, your pilot is going to watch movies about gladiators."

Hear that? Cliffview Pilot is hiring! Great pay! Prestige! Unlimited opportunities! Best of all, JerryD as your boss!
ReplyDeleteSounds like the perfect job for you.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous, you're a putz. It wouldn't surprise me if you were Jennifer Borg. If you're a Record manager, no wonder you hide behind the cloak of anonymity, you wouldn't want it to be known you pay attention to this blog. Jerry never said anything about paying employees. His idea is a damn good one. Any high school newspaper could run rings around the Record, and many a blog has grown into a successful competitor to the news media in its area. Keep up the good work, Jerry and Victor, and soon perhaps we'll see Anonymous on the unemployment line.
ReplyDeleteHey Anonymous,
ReplyDelete1. JerryD as your boss? "By its nature, an LLC creates opportunities...." Don't know much about business, do you?
2. Grow a set.
If Anonymous is Jennifer Borg, she couldn't be a putz. What is Yiddish for vagina?
ReplyDeleteEverybody's a copy editor!

This from Bubbygram.com
ReplyDeleteZadnitze: vagina. Although Yiddish has dozens of common words for a man's private parts (shmuck, shmeckel, putz, etc.) it took me YEARS to find this word! I've never actually heard it used in conversation, and even fluent Yiddish speakers I've asked never heard of it. UPDATE: This from a Russian reader: "Zadnitze is not vagina, which is why nobody knew the word. This word (correct form - zadnitza) means an ass (from zad - backside) in Russian." OK, so we're back to square one.
"Might as well make a good buck off it."
ReplyDeleteQuery, Victor, whether a "good buck" gets spent on things like child support. Check your email.
one word-douche. fits you well
ReplyDeleteYou're not even adept at insults, Anonymous. It's douche bag. You are even below that. You remind me of one of the great lines from Lawrence Durrell's "The Alexandria Quartet."
ReplyDelete"Some people lie and let life play upon them like the tepid discharges of a douche bag."
As Errol Flynn told the taxi driver when he scored a pair of tickets to a Mets game, "To Citi Field." (You were expecting me to say "To Shea"?)

Funny. One of my critics is known within his own family as The King of the Douche Bags. Was reminded of him while watching the old SNL skit with Buck Henry and Harry Shearer.
ReplyDeleteyou are not worth the bag.
ReplyDeleteYour cowardice in hiding behind "Anonymous" is duly noted.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous (Apr 13) are you saying the D in JerryD stands for Deadbeat?
