Exclusive editor’s notes on recent Daring Fireball post

— Daring Fireball’s feature writer, John Gruber, but his friends call him “Horsegums.”

Read original:
“MacBreak Weekly 75, Follows Up on MacHeist”

In a Pounders EXCLUSIVE, your roving technology reporter — having dug through dumpster bins for weeks on end [1] — has obtained confidential editor’s notes regarding a recent posting by Mac-centric blogger John Gruber [right] to his website Daring Fireball in which he defends his beleaguered position made last year criticizing a company selling Macintosh software bundled at discount prices. His position is that this company scams “independent” developers by not offering a fair share of profits. To clear the air about the rediculous guesswork and shoddy estimations of dollar amounts changing hands contained in those original criticisms by Gruber, the company maintaining the bundle — both the bundle and company named “MacHeist” — and a developer participating in the discount, speak to audiences on Mac-centric podcast MacBreak Weekly.

Up top is Gruber’s original draft of the response to the podcast which The Pounders has obtained, not to mention secret notes from his editor written in the margins — exciting stuff!

She was devoutly religious – fanatically so, but she had the habit of wearing a mid-thigh length army camouflage mini-skirt that seemed to scream “Someone, anyone, please fuck me!”

K-Line Colamite

“I got on and sat my beautiful glutes in a row of two unused seats facing forward, taking the window seat. It’s a good thing, too, because a perfectly poundable Asian pussy rested its lips on the seat next to me.”

Night With BG

So I looks around, to see if it’s clear.
Then I says, “damn girl, it’s gettin hot in here.”
I pull down my draws, unfold my lollypop,
Lean in and whisper, “I’ll tell you when to stop.”

Set to Warren G’s ‘Regulate,’ blogger Bang Ganger sets the defiling of a woman’s body to rhyme.

Trip to N Korea

The DMZ itself is infested with landmines and anyone trying to make it across would not make it very far. Covered in guard towers on both sides, you often find yourself being watched by N Korean soldiers.

Pounders blogger Kurippi visits the border of North-South Korea, trips and falls into communism.
