The Editor's Corner:

Free Web Space and 'Possums!

Hey there CSU people.  I'm often troubled with this thought -- which was a more important advance for civilization: bread and butter, or the free web page?  No, actually, it doesn't trouble me at all.  Of course the free web page is more important!  Where would I be today if it weren't for nice internet companies?  Prob'ly down 10 bucks at Kinko's trying to pass off a shoddy leaflet as something grandiose like "GryphonWeek".  That's what I like to call "bad".  Because I'd rather be spending that 10 bucks buying something to get my mind off the raging hunger in my belly.  Because, if you recall, if I don't spend money at Kinko's, then there's no bread and butter, remember?  But besides starving to death, free web pages are cool.  Did I lose you?  That was the point.

Take this moment to press the little "back" button, please.

Still here?  Ah yes, that brings me to point two of this corner.  I am a man of many talents.  A jack-of-all-trades.  A renaisance man, if you will.  A renaisance man who can't spell.  But despite these many, many names for my many, many talents, and despite my enormous, enormous ego and terible, terible spelling, I'm going to have a 'possum-who's-stuck-upside-down-in-a-tree's time trying to write enough content for this rag.  So I implore y'all, give it up to me.  Your writing, that is.  Anything.  You can't imagine how good it feels to see your name on the internet.  So you'll just have to give me an article, and you won't HAVE to imagine.  What a deal!  How much will this cost, you ask?  Well, uh, nothing.  I'm not really selling anything, really.

How long is a corner supposed to be, anyways?
