Jonathan Katz Publishes Photo of Self
Posted by Michael on 13 January 2005, 03:16 GMT

Jonathan Katz has always been something of an enigma. He appeared from nowhere to apply for the job of ticalc.org reviews and surveys editor, almost as if he were an infiltrator planted by aliens or a hostile foreign government. Some people then pointed out that he had the same name as the infamous slashdot editor. Yet these rumors proved to be false as Jon is an entirely different person, albeit a dark and mysterious one. His ticalc.org staff photo has always said "Photo unavailable."

Those days of shrouded secrets and Jon's habit of wearing cowboy hats with camera-foiling auto-tracking laser pointers are finally over, as we have now a glimpse into the soul of this introverted and highly disturbed man. Look no further than his newly updated staff page to get your glimpse at the true life of Jon Katz. We see the sunglasses, the hat, and the flailing arms that lead us to the conclusion that Jonathan Katz is not the single-faceted simplistic ticalc.org staff drone previously believed: He is in fact a white suburban rapper who delicately combines words from program reviews and ticalc.org surveys into complicated rap songs involving, among other subjects, triple integration. Jon authors such masterpieces as "Play Megaman 86; it's cool, yo!" and "I was down in the hood with all my bad boys, my beautiful electric nerdy fancy toys."

Now that his true personal life has been exposed for all the world to see, Jon can no longer hide. When pressed by reporters to answer whether he had outfitted his 89 with 19" chrome LCD rims, he refused to answer as he piled into a darkly-tinted Cadillac with members of his entourage. Encouragingly enough, this revelation is not expected to affect Jon's ticalc.org performance in any way. But don't be surprised if future newsletters suddenly start mentioning "bling bling" - it's just Jon finally lifting his facade.

BAN MICHAEL FOR POSTING THIS @#$% NEWS!
Joe Somebody  Account Info

yes indeed, it is not only scary, but pathetic too.

As Mr. Katz said he was a victim of the news. Michael, wrote this god da-n fu-k should be permanently BANNED FROM TICALC.ORG. I'm not kidding. If someone did this to me, I would track them down with law enforcement (technically, this is slander/libel). And for the few of you who think this post is a joke: just try to foul up my name. I will report you to your isp, request your location, and contact a cop. End of line.

Dear: Jo Sumbodi, (Oops! Sorry, does misspelling your name count "fouling" it up. My bad.)

The fake news is FAKE for a reason. It's all in good fun. If Jonathan didn't like it, then he would SAY so. Oh, BTW, I have lots of spare humor just wasting space. You want it? I've stuffed it all into this attachment. Just click on the paperclip.
P.S. Be sure to share it; there's plenty to go around. ;)

?? Are you talking about the pop-up on my site? My host puts it there, and charges an unreasonable ammount of money to take it off. I guess that's what I get for choosing the free hosting package. :^(

No, THIS Link

I see what you mean, it is a little annoying. It shows up on every page in your link doesn't it? My pop-up blocker handles it fine, though. Hey, free is still free. Why pay for it. }:D>

But no, I'm asking if you (and anyone else who's interested) if you (they) like the netradio link that I've been putting in my posts. IT'S commercial free. TRY IT. I keep the same link in my "startup" folder so that it's always on.

I should have guessed that with a name like Coolv that you'd be a rap fan. I respect your oppinion as a person, but automatically hate your guts anyway. ;P Kidding.
I'm embarressed to say that I do like ONE rap song, "Gangsta's Paradise", but I thoroughly hate ALL other songs of that genre.

Again I ask, who does like my link?
...anyone?

Quit arguing about music preferences. Especially you Coolv. You're starting to argue with yourself! I'm sorry I started it, sheesh! The question posed is whether or not my link is any good, not what genre you prefer.

To clarify:

This is a joke news article. Michael had showed it to me before he posted it and I approved of it. To play along with the joke, as many people have done, I did claim I was a victim of this article. However, before fake news, or joke news, is posted on ticalc.org about a particular staff member, the news editor, in this case Michael, always makes sure to consult with the staff member to make sure it is alright with them.

Please do not be angry at Michasel for posting this joke article, he made up this story all in good fun to try to get a laugh out of the community.

So far it's just you. Remember, smile :) don't frown. :( Like Rock? Join the party, and stop griping. It's a real link as apposed to an ASCII paperclip. Enjoy. It might reduce the stress (or whatever). Live on The Edge...(fm).
Rock on! ;P

Calm down and get a sense of humor! Michael Vincent and Jon Katz apparently have very good ones, but you don't. This is supposed to be a JOKE, and not taken seriously! Why do you think it's called fake news? Also, what would you report us to our ISPs for? Liking jokes???
