Obituary

The GICC website ("Glitch Central" to friends) for reporting Y2k "failures" has succumbed recently to Memetic Cancer.

It did it's best to keep the Meme alive symbiotically, but, alas, similar to the credibility of every single Memetic Doomer on the planet, the cancerous Meme destroyed it's host.

The website is survived by a handful of pathetic memetic doomer "true believers" who refuse to allow this harmful meme to pass - continuing in their justification efforts to desparately parlay their drivel to cyber-passers-by. Alas, most (their former leaders included) have come to their senses and abandoned the effort - leaving for more tightly controlled fora where they can surround themselves with worshippers who tell them their vision of the world was, is, and remains forever correct - regardless of those pesky facts and historically-proven accuracies.

Rest in Peace, GICC.

More Vindicated Than Before Regards,
Andy Ray

Your humor is starting to wear thin, Andy. BTW, the possessive "its" does not have an apostrophe; that is for the contraction of "it is."

After the host dies, so will you. Such is the fate of parasites.

My site The Bunker died months ago but I'm still alive and I still hate green crayon fonts...

Dear Mr. AndyRay:

Repeated attempts by our clients (Memes-R-Us Publishers) to acquire from you the completed manuscript for your so-called "epic work" have come to naught. You promised a complete explanation of the "DOOMER MEME" (your term) in your letters and have so far produced nothing more than a rehash (in green crayon) of your smarmy baiting of anyone who ever disagreed with you on an obscure Internet bulletin board. Even at that, the posts you have sent to them have ceased relating to the Y2k issue and have begun creeping into what we feel are relatively unrelated areas. They're not even amusing, and when every other sentence contains the word "meme", tend to read like falling into a vat of warm butterscotch. Alas, this does not a profitable book make.

Our clients have authorized us to begin collection procedures on the advance received by you for said book, in return for which you will be free to market it in any way -- or to any other publisher -- you see fit. To avoid collection procedures, please remit the total amount of $15,000 to our offices. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
