All's Quiet on the Lower Eastern Front 1. It's never fun explaining a joke but I think some people took my ribbing of Lockhart Steele yesterday (and the times before) too seriously. It's all an act, folks. We orchestrated the morondrama for you, the controversy-craving public. I realize that's all seven of you in this case. Seriously, I would only talk that way about someone who is a good friend. That's all the fun of it. (For those who know my comments history on Eurotrash and Maccers, same principle applies.) Really, Lock and I are tight. I even got him a Christmas present, a $5 McDonald's gift certificate. No shit. 2. In what *might* become a semi-regular statistics feature on Gawker, my first "Data Dump" exploring the socio-economic concerns of bar-hopping was published yesterday. I can assure you I adhere to only the strictest and most sound research methods that a budget of $0 can afford. Also, this was my fault but Chris Gage should have been asteriked on the chart. He pitched in at the last minute to prettify and obfuscate it. Press inquiries, bomb threats, and song requests should be sent to info (at) krucoff.com. Thanks. 3. A Brief Look Into the World of IM Bots krucoff: ah, dumberchild lives on. i used to be its owner. DumberChild: i doubt that krucoff: tis true DumberChild: then what was the pw when u had it krucoff: sold to steve klein for a mere 600 clams DumberChild: whos steve klein krucoff: creator of smarterchild DumberChild: and what country uses "clams" DumberChild: oh i guess he got fucked cuase people cracked it from him, in the end i got it krucoff: oh, well good for you. congrats and all. DumberChild: i guess i do believe u DumberChild: did u register this name krucoff: why would i make it up? krucoff: i did initially DumberChild: a lot of people claim to have had this name krucoff: here's some proof krucoff: hold on krucoff: shit, this isnt the proof i was looking for, but i registered SmartestChild and DumberChild at the same time in Oct. 2000. here's how it went. krucoff: i have some dumberchild transcripts around here somewhere too DumberChild: oh thats tight krucoff: i sold both names to activebuddy, steve klein's company for $600 DumberChild: i wonder if theyd buy them from me, did they contact u? krucoff: of course at the time i thought it was worth big bucks and i tried to sell for $10K (remember this was '01 before dotcom burst) krucoff: he laughed at it DumberChild: oh lol krucoff: offered me $1K for both DumberChild: if i was sure of the legality of how i got this name, id put it on ebay or something krucoff: i declined, and then wanted to get rid of them a couple months later krucoff: how much do IM names go for these days? or ever? DumberChild: im not sure, most good ones are cracked so there hard to sell DumberChild: i was interested in this for the reason in my buddy info DumberChild: u appear to be on trillian so u might not be able to see it but i just have this sn cuase i like to mess with people and im hoping this girl i used to know will im me since i get thousands of random ims DumberChild: thats interesting about the origins of this name tho, i g2g tho peace Archives "The Other Page" powered by Removable Hype.
