    The column is called "Metropolitan Diary," not "Dear Diary."

    Penza's last words:



    "Hee-hee-hee! 'Sell my Shorts!'... It's funny because it's true."



    "What?...It's not true?"

    I grew up watching the news with Ralph Penza..I didn't know he was 74..

    #7 - The editor of the Metro section himself told us that the fans of the Diary are elderly and the Diary is "the only bright spot in a day of otherwise gloomy news." See you at the Early Bird Special! And the next time that Frisbee lands on my lawn, I'm keeping it.

    D@mnit Gothamist get your server (or whatever) fixed so that I don't double post when I get an error message after the first posting. It's really kinda frustrating.

    WTF? "elderly fans of the Diary"? I'm a fan of the Diary and I'm not elderly! Look: it's after 4am and I'm commenting vituperatively about something no one really cares about. Oh crap. I'm elderly.

    I was wondering when Goth would pick up the WFMU/NY Times story. We didn't mean to "punk" the NY Times really, it was just an experiment to see if we could get something published using an exaggerated version of the formulaic anecdotes. It was a bit of sport, didn't mean to injure the elderly fans of the Diary.

    Wal-Mart is only good for Wal-Mart and their evil Red Chinese partners, since the relationship between these two forces of evil provides billions for both parties who don't care about little things like human rights.



    As for Ralph Penza, he will be missed and he looked and acted as if he was much younger. He was a reporter's reporter.

    Brooklyn Papers says that a Walmart would be good for downtown Brooklyn?



    What are they smoking over at the Brooklyn Papers?

  • huh

    Brooklyn Papers editorializes that a Wal-Mart is just what's needed in downtown Brooklyn.

    RIP, Ralph Penza. And I can't believe he was 74 - he always seemed so much younger.
