An old post from the archives is now up at McSweeneys.net. But although its old, I added two new lines to it--and since it’s only a five line list, that means it now boasts more than fifty percent new content. That’s the kind of value we’re committed to bringing you here at “Geese Aplenty.” Check it.

As Laurie Anderson once said to me: “Looking forward to your novel.”
Congratulations.
Wait a minute. First, it’s a three line list. Now it’s a five line list. 3/5 = .60. It’ a 40% increase in content. We want truth-in-advertising! We want fair business practices! We want fries with that.
PS. It’s a FUNNY list.
We want better typing. “It’s” a 40% increase!”
The vagaries of the mathematics are lost on me, but Reason #3 made me shoot hot cocoa out of my nose. You’ll be seeing the hospital bill directly.
Alright people- it was a 3 line post, so 50% was 1.5 lines. Greg added 2 lines, which is slightly more than 66% of the original post. So Greg is a truthful advertiser. And a funny guy. Nice job, Greg.
excellent, monsieur howard.
and thanks, frank, you’ve saved me from being the math geek who contradicts papa goose. longer post, sharing the math-geek wealth ... everyone wins. thumbs up all round.
Why did Laurie Anderson say that to you? Why is she always such a bitch to me?
Meanwhile, ne’er hath a joke been crafted better than that whole speed dial return fire thing.
I don’t know. Laurie Anderson is weird.
Holy CRAP Greg! You got PUBLISHED in McSweeneys! That is the raddest! You are the shit. YOURULE.net

Nice job. Funny stuff. Oh, and I’m suing you.
if anyone published me i swear i would wet myself.
i really need to work on this whole “funny” thing.
I read this the other day and laughed and NEVER NOTICED YOUR NAME! So now when I tell you it was funny, you know I’m not just being polite!
Congrats.
