Let the fun begin ...

 

Is it possible??

Sandusky and Roswell both opening up on the same day??

How did we get so lucky??

 

But Tom Petty is no longer around, so my fun reading is ruined.

 

What happened to TP?

 

I was wondering what happened to Andy Dufresne.

 

He don't come around here no more ...

(sorry, couldn't resist)

 

Every time I see this job come open and posted on this forum, I assume it's a hoax. And each time it's not.

 

What is the deal with this job? Do the sports editors die like Spinal Tap drummers or do they get abducted by aliens?

 

I think one actually did die.
