an editor, you say?

It's the sub-editors who do all the real work. Editors just squat on their hams in a circle and play at quoits all day. At least, that's how I heard it. I have never actually been inside a place of business.

I know this has nothing to do with your brief foray into criminality (or was it victimity? - I can never keep them straight). My attorney strongly advises me not to speak of that.

OK: victimality, and subeditoriality. You found me out. I don't play golf real well, and I don't have a Lexus. I am a sub-editor. Thank you, Aimless, for reminding me that I am the NCO of the media world.

Meanwhile I am hard at work on a fearsome apologia which will rout all critics, but progress is slow as I pause every half hour to ingest four quarts of Greek yogurt and honey.

Poo, It's time for a beer ....

Was my Pentium 60 in the car at the time?

Bastards.

Four quarts of Greek yoghurt and honey!!?!

Rex, I see you take seriously the injunction to "drink deeply, or drink not, the Pierian spring". Although, in this case, for "Pierian spring" we must substitute the dairy cooler of your local grocery.
BTW, is the honey from Hymettos? Greeks always were very snobby about such small distinctions. God knows why Hymettos honey is supposed to be so wonderously good. I suppose the goats on Hymettos must have sweeter dung than those that frequent other mountainsides - though how this may have been discovered gives me pause...

. . simply cut the goat lengthways and see how much pure white sugar pours out of the inside. It is a well-guarded secret that a goats physiology is completely different from pretty much every other animal. Their interiors consist of between 40 to 80 percent sugar depending on the breed, the rest is of course that lovely bitter milk that makes Robin's beloved feta. Oh and of course minimal flesh in the form of boundary sacks to seperate the two substances.

Guys! Don't give him help! Don't you realise he's about to completely twat me with his apologia!? I'm like a Spanish chicken buried up to its neck in grit, just waiting for him to visit his boulder of wit upon my oh-so-easily-crushed bird-skull! Stay his hand! Don't tell him what the best type of honey is! Get him pissed instead! And whilst you're at it, tell him I never meant to make an enemy out of him! Tell him everything is okay! Look! I've eviscerated this goat in his honour! Guys! Please! Noooo! KKKKraKKK! Gnuh.

LEAVE POO ALONE whoever you are!!! There...that ought to do it. Now. Can I have the giblets?

Here you are ... I'll serve them up right fresh, straight from the belly, as it were... mmmm warm n all! And no strange diseases like MNM or RNB neither. I tend to keep my umbles clean and syndrome-free. Bon appétit!

twelve years pass...

Part of the evidence against Ulbricht from Silk Road was testimony from a friend:

“Yes, he did,” Mr. Bates said, adding, “He shared with me that he created and ran the Silk Road website.”

I think a difficult part of being a criminal is keeping it a secret. This dude had to share his honestly astounding accomplishment with someone.

Astoundingly, a Google search on Editors just squat on their hams in a circle and play at quoits all day yields this thread as its first result, whereas a search on He shared with me that he created and ran the Silk Road website just tosses up a multitude of results such as one may find in any well-stocked trash bin.

Still true as ever.
