I am, here, and in a more physical sense, I am here: [http://www.thefinaledition.com​/article/hey-its-our-thing.htm​l](http://www.thefinaledition.xn--com-7m0a/article/hey-its-our-thing.htm%E2%80%8Bl) Article by Peter Sagal- Anyone know what exactly is going on? Sounds like fraud and extortion by hippies… ---

Linky no worky… ☹ May I suggest this one instead? [TheFinalEdition.com is for sale | HugeDomains](http://www.thefinaledition.com/article/hey-its-our-thing.html) BTW, this site is touted as a parody of _The New York Times_. Note the final sentence in this article: “Forget about it.” ---

Ah- ignorance fought, indeed! I thought I was in an alternate reality for a moment- I know he writes comedy, but usually with a straight line on reality… ---

Also, you could translate the term “our thing” into Italian (or particularly Sicilian dialect), and have the satire hit you over the head a little harder. ---

What I find even funnier is how completely confused I was by your OP. I was searching for any reference to your username in the article somewhere, to make sense out of “I am, here, and in a more physical sense, I am here.” I was doing everything but reading the article for comprehension. What’s funny about that? The reason I wasn’t reading it was because it seemed so stuck up.
