Useless Pedantry Department Looks Forward To Another Busy Season
Our omission of the “c” in John Hinckley’s name on a cover last year is going to haunt me to my grave. However, that only increases the schadenfreude I derive today from the ODE’s description of the Fresno State Bulldogs - in big letters, above the fold - as “perrenial underdogs”.

There actually appear to be, not one, but two egregious typos in that headline. First person to post a comment identifying the second typo wins a pint of Pabst at Max’s.

Well. At least it wasn’t “perineal underdogs.” ‘Cause that would be downright nutty.

I would find the other typo if only provided with a link.

Apparently it isn’t up online… but there is at least one hard copy remaining in the OC office.

No fair! This is blatant discrimination against your East Coast readership. It’s that ugly West Coast Bias sneaking up again. Just despicable.

Not to mention their Southwestern readership! Damn you coastal people and your coast-centrism!

Hey, I never said anything positive about flyover country. You’re on your own there, pal.

Bill and Tim, when we mail you your respective copies of the new OC, I’ll slip a copy of the in-question Emerald into the folder for you both.
Good luck collecting on the pint at Max’s, though, unless you’re planning to visit Eugene. Which would be rad-tastic.

I’ll be there briefly at the end of October for my gal’s birthday.

Did somebody say Halloween riot?

Hell yes whoa.
