Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

YMCA Changing Its Name, The Village People Not amused

First Sci-Fi Channel, then Radio Shack, now the YMCA is changing its name to a shorter, hipper The Y. As you can probably understand, the Village People is "deeply dismayed":

"We are deeply dismayed by today’s announcement from the YMCA that they feel a name change and a rebranding are in order after 166 years," the group said in a statement released this morning.

"Some things remain iconic, and while we admire the organisation for the work they do, we still can’t help but wonder Y."

The NYT website has a section where staffers answer questions, and a few months ago the obit editor did a column. I don't know if that archive is available, but they have a small staff who keep track of who's important/interesting/should be known.

Now tagless for your comfort.

First Radio Shack, now the YMCA? My world is askew!

I think having cake for breakfast will help.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

I didn't think Steinbrenner *could* die.

No, that is Al Davis. That man has been embalmed and yet walking around for years.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Didn't the long-time Yankee stadium announcer also just die? Rough time for the Yankees. OTOH - Steinbrenner ptui ptui nasty man.

So load out is almost half done. Guess who had a screaming crying meltdown already? Yeah. I made granddad get him off the premisis and a new goddamn ds game has been promised through gritted snarling teeth. I not so secretly wish and wish for a catastrophic ds disaster to occur within the month.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I mean, presumably they don't have an obituary of Bill Clinton written

I bet they do. I think it's on prominence, not likelihood of dying.

Because books.

Didn't the long-time Yankee stadium announcer also just die?

Yeah, I heard that Sunday. He was 99.

I'll secretly send you baked goods if I can get a sneaky peek of the one for the person whose initials are Q.E.2. who is not a ship.

Please, like she's ever going to pop her clogs.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I bet they do. I think it's on prominence, not likelihood of dying.

There's a formula.

(national prominence x [international prominence/2] x belovedness^2)/number of years the actuaries say the person has left

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I'll secretly send you baked goods if I can get a sneaky peek of the one for the person whose initials are Q.E.2. who is not a ship.

Actually, for her we just assume there's enough in the Royal Archive to take care of itself.
