Shock and Awe: Bagel
Sweeps “Yitmotties” for Umpteenth Year

Amazing win of all ‘You the Man’ awards stuns no one  

BAGEL’S MOM
Once again... the Man.

Media bitch and shameless self-promoter Red Bagel surprised retards everywhere with a “shock and awe” sweep of his own commune awards, the “You the Man of the Year” things. Even my own surprised ass could not be reached for comment, it was that unexpected.

In addition to his regular “Yitmotty,” which already had his name engraved on it before the voting started, Bagel swept all the extended bullshit categories and ended up taking home several of the awards, although all others were smaller, like if you got them in a Happy Meal or something. Those other categories included “Conspiracy Cracking,” “Website Publishing,” “Brave Adventurer,” “Girl Beddin’,” and every other thing Bagel thinks he does reasonably well except farting the Macarena song.

“It was a great honor, and a privilege, to be recognized in so many different areas,” Bagel might have said, had I interviewed him. “Lord knows a man is only as good as his staff, and anyone can tell you I’m no good. It’s lucky I took this thing home without somehow impaling on it or winding up in an emergency room with it shoved half up my ass.

“In conclusion, I am a blithering idiot.”

Quite an impressive list of nominees were submitted by commune staff members this year, including George W. Bush, Saddam Hussein, Legalos the Elf, Rush Limbaugh, Michael Jackson, Great White, Jared the Subway Queer, Roy Horn, Arnold Schwarzenfelder, and Howard Dean. From the confidential vote tallying sheet, lifted from Bagel’s office while he was off taking a dump, we can see Bagel voted for no one other than himself for any category. Big shockeraroo there.

“I don’t know, Ted, is it just me? Has there never been a worse boss in the history of the world?” said an inside source at the commune. “The guy is just apeshit crazy and I think it’s time someone did something about it. If we were in Nam or a Nam movie, we’d have fragged him years ago. Either way, I can’t believe I’m still working here. Let’s face it: Log any time at the commune—you know this—and you might as well put ‘Unhireable’ on the top of your resume. This entire office is like riding a Slip ‘N’ Slide to hell.”

In response, I assured him, “At least you don’t have to write the friggin’ ‘Yitmotty’ shit again this year, Raoul Dunkin.”

Among Bagel’s other accomplishments in 2003, he exposed the conspiracy behind 64-bit processors, Kim Jong Il, the Columbia disaster, and SARS. Not stopping there, Bagel also printed extremely humiliating information about his staff, including a drag queen site featuring once-beloved commune reporter Ted Ted. Not that Bagel or anybody else has a spot-clean record and has never done anything at all embarrassing in their past, and a little heads up would have been nice so all friends outside of the commune could have been warned and shit. But thank you, Red Bagel, for fucking up so many lives with so few words. Imagine what the esteemed commune Editor could have done if he hadn’t been gone for half the year on some pseudo-homosexual frolic with missing-and-assumed-dead columnist Sampson L. Hartwig.

“Yeah,” added Ted Ted, “you the fuckin’ man.”

the commune news is not the man, but an incredible simulation. Ted Ted is the commune office correspondent and his legs might have atrophied in all the recent months of not moving much, but he still has those adorable wings.
