It is, sad to say, an end to an era. The Brunching Shuttlecocks have called it quits. A moment of silence please.
That really does make me sad.
I just found this out today, and was quite sad that it’s ending.
I loved that website 
How depressing is that.
At least the Self-Made Critic will continue on.
First SatireWire, now this. My entire reason for being on the internet is just crumbling to pieces.
I used to read that site daily. It was my first stop on my tour-o-humour.
Then they stopped updating regularly, and fell days, weeks, over a month behind. By the time they picked it up again with weekly updates of a week’s worth of content, I had moved on.
However, the MASH reference at the end of their goodbye blurb is enough for me to miss all of the years of comedy.
Given that they hadn’t updated the site in a month and a half, it’s not unexpected. Still sucks…
If The Onion goes, then there really won’t be a reason to be on the Internet.
[sub]OK, the 'Dope and Snopes still count, I guess…[/sub]
I haven’t felt this big of a void open up on the 'net since the demise of The Dysfunctional Family Circus. sigh
How will I CYBORG my friends now?
They’re keeping Self Made Critic and Ratings, and there will also be future Bandwidth Theatre - all on separate sites. The archives will remain on the main brunching.com page.
This is sad for me, because the Brunching Shuttlecocks got me into this whole talking to people on the internet thing. But it wasn’t unexpected: updates have been few and far between for a long time.
Ah, well. At least the Selfmade Critic is still around.
And didja notice, on the latest installment of Ratings (at its new site), he says that a blink dog is chaotic-good? Hmph!
I found out yesterday…let us all shed a tear for the end of an era.
(looks down… takes off hat… holds over heart)
I love their Bjork Song.
They provided some amazing laughs.
This is not something I needed to read today… how horribly depressing.
I do like that line from MAS*H, though.
I am desolate.
The Bjork Song made me snarf my Diet Coke the first time I heard it.
I was really only a fan of Lore’s ratings but I was a huge fan of that. I’ve ruined more than one keyboard from spit-takes reading those things. My favorite recent one was “phone features” though the earliest ones are the best.
