Hey, what’s up with the Onion? All the old columns and editorials are gone!! What will I do if I can’t read how Bobby McNally wants to drive the short bus to Hawaii on Monday, and to the Superbowl on Tuesday? Where will I be without my daily fix of H-Dog’s mad lyrical flow? ---

Thanks for the link, but it didn’t work. ---

The link above is one of my bookmarks, I got a little worried when you said it didn’t work. I must have my [Point-Counterpoint](http://www.theonion.com/archive/archive_counterpoint.html). “Is it hot in here, or is it just you? Yowza!!” Anyway, it works for me… ---

It worked for me when I clicked on it. Failing that, you could also go to [www.TheOnion.com](http://www.TheOnion.com) and click on the word “Archive”, which is at the top right of the page, under the “Search” button. ---

The link is correct, their server is just really slow. I have trouble with The Onion’s site as a whole about 25% of the time. NP: **Nile** - _Amongst the Catacombs of Nephren-Ka_ ---

For more amusement, go to [the internet archive’s](http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.theonion.com) collection of old Onion stuff that goes back to a few pages iin '96. Some of the links are messed up, but still some pretty good stuff though. ---

I’ve been trying forever to find a cache or something of their article “You will suffer humiliation when the sports team from my area defeats the sports team form your area.” All I could determine from searching is that it was published on April 18, 2001. Can anyone help? ---

Hey **Elwood** … While I couldn’t find it on The Onion’s site (odd too, it’s like that issue has been banned or something), I did find [this](http://www.geocities.com/theairborneagle/rivalries.htm), which looks like someone cut and pasted the article to their homepage. enjoy! ---
