OK you crazies. Glad to see the flurry of activity for once. Sad it had to be something so drastic to get you all back for a change :)

I'm out for the day. You keep it classy. And I look forward to #fakerumorthursday tomorrow...remember: Thursday is Friday's Friday.

I wish it were Thursday so I could #fakerumorthursday the shit out of the lot of you!

Good day #whitenoise. This is NOT #fakerumorthursday: even Tim Tebow can't do it right...he even gets his own move wrong sometimes...

What're we all up to, eh?

I was in NYC last weekend and got to hang out with Tony Kaye.

He texted me to meet him at Central Park. So I went there and it was a miracle I found him. When I saw him sitting on a bench, I felt very old. He was wearing skinny jean highwaters, a Mets ball cap with a foil sticker on the bill which he wore to the side, and a Nickelback shirt. Upon seeing me, he didn’t stand up but put his fist out (for knuckles I think) and said, "Sup, Ding-Dang." He never made eye contact which made me nervous.

Things didn’t get much better from there. First of all, he spits. A lot. Not like accidental spitting while you talk but hocking a loogie as if you have bronchitis. He finally stood up and we walked for a bit. He had a massive back-pack that he had put on. I was trying to talk to him about my concerns with the Gawker when he cut me off and said, "You know I used to be a back-up dancer for Vanilla Ice, right? It was totally lame." I didn’t believe him at first but before I could say something he started to pop n’ lock. And I’m not sure how lame he really thought it was being a back-up dancer because he repeated that story to me several times throughout the day. He started many a sentence off with "Back when I used to dance for VI (Vanilla’s term of endearment used by his friends) . . ."

I told Tony I was hungry and I wanted him to take me to somewhere cool to eat in NY. He spit and said, "In a minute." Next thing I know, he opens his backpack to reveal a real an Alfonso Ribeiro breakdance board. Fuck. I haven’t seen one of these since I was a kid. It was well worn. He layed it out. He took off his shirt and revealed to the world two nipple piercings . . . in the same fucking nipple. Ugh. He had a boom box that worked with his iPhone. He turned it on to some weird crazy beat I’d never heard. Then he got in the middle of the board and spit. He spit extra far so as not to ruin the board. The he started.

Let’s just say that OTKO is a B-boy through and through. He got crazy. He went into a head spin then a suicide then a helicopter into a worm. A small crowd gathered and was clapping him on. When he was done he started spitting like a homeless person. The crowd groaned in disgust and dispersed. He put his shirt back on (thankfully) and put his stuff away. He said, "Let’s go eat." And then he took me to Panda Express where I listened to more stories about VI and watched Tony snigger as he destarred people from his iPhone.

All tag pages are getting shut down due to misuse. Sorry guys!

I've noticed a bit more activity in here recently. This is good. Maybe I can be nicer now.

Just wanted to let the bulk of you know that #whitenoise is getting shut down at midnight* for good. Hash tags were a failed experiment and the lot of you should be ashamed of yourselves. You know who you are.

So! Clear out yer shit and say bye!

I'm totally going to come back and start posting in here again.

Denton just confirmed the new design has been a flop. They are "shutting it down" and will bring back the old design with some new "enhancements".

Congrats everyone. Your endless bitching paid off.

I can't believe not a single #fakerumorthursday was done. Its a sad day for Gizmodians. I think I got a few people pretty good last week when I said I was leaving and had a rant in my reply, which was obviously a #fakerumorthursday.

It's #fakerumorthursday. Be wary. Feeling down today? Don't fret: it's Friday's Friday, and we're headed into a long weekend. Yeah buddy.

Today is perfect fodder for #fakerumorthursday. Beware.
