This round goes to the Liteweights, as Mr. Mug Shot is no more.

This just in: LEO's editor, Sarah Kelley, has fired intrepid "Mug Shot" columnist Roger A. Baylor for myriad offenses against taste and decency.

Which is why I thought the "independent" "alt"-weekly hired me in the first place, but verily, times and people change. There'll be time later to discuss. Until then:

Under-employed former LEO beer columnist with pompous proclivities and a large, loyal fan base desires biweekly forum for fermentable truth-telling. Pay is negotiable. Note that the columnist is allergic to censorship and poor taste. You know where I am. Have beer -- will write/right.

  1. Cappuccino's behind this, somehow.

  2. Fewer required showers mean more water for beer. I'm for that.

  3. "Myriad offenses against taste and decency"... Holy crap, a managing editor and Ms. Manners rolled into in one! Still, the readership will suffer.

  4. That sucks......

    Perhaps it will make more room for ads from strip clubs, "escort services", and personal massage services as those ads ooze with good taste and decency

  5. Like Richard Holbrook said today about sniper fire on his ride into Afghanistan - I paraphase but not much:

    Reporter "Does it bother you being shot at arriving on this mission?"

    Holbrook, with amused smirk - "I've been shot at in better countries than this."

    touche

    ...and on to better pastures as they say in Indiana!
