Century Club, Syracuse Airport Commissioner Christina Callahan (very hot, btw) noted that one of every three pilots who takes off from Hancock International is naked.

For most Central New Yorkers, Tops v. Wegmans isn’t much of a contest. The big “W” reigns supreme, raking in more awards and attention by far. But in one area – baked goods — Tops is closing ground and may have even surpassed its more upscale rival. Our family’s opinion is that Tops has better cookies, specialty desserts, breakfast cakes and pastries and more variety overall. Please, Wegmans: Can we call a temporary moratorium on the profiteroles? Wegmans still does a better job with bread, bagels and scones. No matter where you shop it’s important to eat a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains and Bacardi 151.
There once was a man from Marcellus
Who grew cannabis from a trellis
He cracked open a beer
And was stunned to see deer
Eating Doritos with relish.

Welcome to the new Syracuse New Times, and to my little corner of it. Have you ever heard the expression good things come in small packages? It’s particularly true of my column.
Because no one stopped me before, I have assaulted readers each week with tiresome alleged humor articles, some of which droned on for 1,000 words or more and contained pre-Digital Age features such as a beginning, middle and end.
That ends today. According to exciting new media research conducted in 1996, newspaper readers don’t want to read anything longer than a hamster dropping, which is fantastic for me personally because to be honest I don’t like to write either. It’s hard. It’s boring. Just like you, I’m happier living on my phone and communicating via digital semaphore:
“Where R U?”
“Pking”
“K”
That’s why this new multi-element layout is ideal for all. In fact, I have breaking news there: I just did a word count of how much I have written in this segment, and I’m at 176 words, meaning I’m almost done. My allotted 300 word limit can be doubled in the event I feel extra motivated. Don’t hold your breath.
Goodness, we barely have time for a joke:
A waiter nervously approaches two elderly Jewish ladies and asks, “Is anything all right?”
One final note: My editors are now trusting me to expound on a variety of topics, funny or not. So look here for not just award-winning humor, but for hard-hitting investigations and useful real-time information. For example, during a talk I attended last week at the Welcome to humor in the Digital Age
