Yes, I am shock-jock-with-a-jockstrap Howard Stern

April 29th, 2004 · 2 Comments

This just in from Xeni over at BoingBoing:

America’s public enemy #1, radio-dude Howard Stern, made an off-hand
remark on this morning’s show — he claims he writes a secret weblog.
Stern said he writes as “another character” and that only “about 4
people are in on the joke.”… If anyone out there has candidates for what might be Stern’s secret
blog, let us know — if the blogger brags about hurling prosciutto at a
stripper’s ass, that might be a tip-off.

Ouch, Xeni, you’ve twisted my arm, I confess.

This whole “Betsy Devine” blog was a sham.

You say, people met so-called “Betsy” at BloggerCon? Wearing a badge with a red
ribbon that said Mom?

Ha ha ha! That was Dustin
Hoffman. And it was Dustin who threw the prosciutto at–well, just
check the tabloids to find out whose ass it was. Dustin can’t help
himself, he gets so into a
role.

But I knew that prosciutto meant the end was coming.

I heard about David Weinberger‘s
“meaningful look.”

My friends did
what they could to hush up the stories. Larry, Sergey, you’re just the best doggone pals … That whole Google IPO story? Just a smokescreen, thrown up to distract the media from my story.

But I knew–I KNEW–that  Gawker and BoingBoing would
find me…

Geeze, it’s really over?

How am I going to tell my husband and children?

    JR, I was sure you guessed. Oh, and thanks for being so understanding about the prosciutto incident….
