The Sanctuary Jounal?

[Maxgoof]

What happened to the Fact And Opinion?

[Reignbow]

Yeah, that gave me pause, too. I see three possibilities:

1.) Emmett is using a little white lie to
a) skip the explaination (and ridicule) of explaining about the F&O
b) get some clout, the SJ being the best-known paper
2.) Emmett switched employers. Maybe the original questor exclusive gave somebody a good opinion of him.
3.) The SJ commissioned the F&O to send a correspondent.
4.) Emmett is a little shaken up and just says the wrong thing.

Likelihood:
1.) Doesn't seem to have much point. Emmett is accustomed to getting at least some giggles when he talks about the F&O; why start flying false colors now?
2.) He really didn't seem to like the major papers. In addition, the SJ is probably not that easy to get a job with. Think NYT, and whether they'd just hire a journalist from a local newspaper.
3.) Major newspapers aren't really in the habit of commissioning local journalists as long-distance correspondents. The only reason I can see for that is that all of theirs are too chicken to get on the wonder wagon. Still, I'd have expected a major paper to already have somebody in Freeman Downs.

Speaking for 2 and 3 is the possibility that Emmett might have baited the SJ with an inside angle from a "friend of the questor".

Personally, I'd tend towards 3. It best reflects what we know about Emmett's sensibilities.

I love how that sail-cart has such huge, wide-spaced wheels. Very realistic for what would really be used.

Delegation, eh? To join, or to say goodbye (and interview on the side)?

[Astral]

Yeah, the cart very much resembles a Land-sail, and trust me, with a good wind and a long strech of beach those things are an abserlute blast

You forgot:

Maybe the SJ wants to have a source close to the questor, so they hire Emmett for an inside edge. Or, they hire him so they can censor any articles that he sends in. When he worked for the F&O, TPTB couldn't control him. As a SJ employee Emmett is under the thumb of their editor. (or whoever is behind the scenes)

or it could be a typo.....

just sayin'.

[TMLutas]

or it could be a typo.....

just sayin'.

Aw shoot, I was just getting ready to speculate on how Gilder might have put the SJ up to it. After all, he never said that *he* didn't have a toe in the scrip business.

Anyway, if it's a typo, will we be seeing a correction?

[BrockthePaine]

Anyway, if it's a typo, will we be seeing a correction?

That'd be affirmative...

[Madmoonie]

Anyway, if it's a typo, will we be seeing a correction?

That'd be affirmative...

Notice that it is BOLDS and Italics?

Aw poo. And conspiracy theories are such fun . . .

€you konw I've been asking myself a question resently. Why is it that conspiricy theorists only ever look for a conspiricy? Not 'the truth' as they would profess that they're looking for? I meen, all that crap about 'we only want the truth' is abserlute crap. If the truth were a sammon and I was beating them about the head with it, they would clame that there wasn't enough evidence to prove that fish existed, or that it should have been a trout or something simply because it wasn't a government offical that was imploading their skull with it. You know, I've been thinking, everyons like this realy, even in real life we only hear what we want to hear and only see what we really want to see. If your searching for a problem, you're bound to find it along with a few other things. the thig is that when it comes to the net you don't ahve the expressions or the faces or the tell tail swishing of the brandy glass that tell us exactly how a person is speeking, hence theres a lot more room for manouver. And its not just us you know, of corse, its monkies as well, they do this kind of things all the time and its not like you hear their nabours complaining is it€ \ people are so used to complaining these days. why can't we all just get along and have a barbiqu or something with chicken in it? oh but ofcourse there'd always be someone ther eto whine about 'crultie to anamuls' and runin the mood with tails about how they broke into a farm once and realced all the chickens onto a main road and got shot in the leg by an angry farmour or something. then everyone would drift home feeling quite put uot with the whole situation untill they finaly realised 'Ah! this isn't my falt, its all theres' and thus the whole bloddy syble begings again, except its all orientated around fassion. you know, kill everyone who wears the same as you, though I supose that saves actualy having to talk to them it'd just be 'you're not wearing Nikeies *Bangs*' and that'd be it, end of humnaity, the dregs just clinging to life in some deadend gift shop job at the local Zoo where the last Chav is the latest additon to hte prize specie colection. I just can't undersand why they put so much effort into documentories now adays, why w oud people caer? Were talking about the same people who wake up every morning, rush down their brakefast and then run into the front room to watch a bunch of idiots in a box getting up and rushing their brakefast so that thers more time in the day to yell at each other Just what is the work coming too> Personaly I blame the comunests.... Blast tech just said something extreamly funny over Msn, so I'm going to go talk to him now and laugh and things, with a larger, and a biskite.

[The JAM]

Dude, have you been getting enough sleep?

[StrangeWulf13]

Someone's found the ice cream loaded with coffee beans... again...

Somebody get the net; I'll get the straight jacket ready. Gotta get him strapped down before he starts bouncing off the walls.

[EdBecerra]

And I thought I was overcaffinated...

[BlasTech]

Gah, he must be out of it .... nothing i say is ever funny
