Last week an Internet rumor, started by these losers, said George Michael and Kenny Goss were going to give up all their money and assets to a mysterious blogger named Remarkable. This giveaway would include the Goss Gallery. All the money and stuff would go to a charity started by this Remarkable fellow:
"For the next year, the gallery will remain open, and keep the same name. Gallery staff will be offered small retention bonuses if they stay until March next year. Remarkable hasn’t ruled out turning the gallery into an office, if he finds himself spending a lot of time in Dallas at the Highland Park home he is shortly to take over from George and Kenny."
I contacted the Goss Gallery and asked, more or less: Hey, ah, is this true or am I a gullible ass? I really didn't need to ask if it was true. I could have asked them if I'm a gullible ass, no alternative. But way, way, WAY on back in the dark Carlsbad Cavern that is my mind, past the Big Room, past the old, decayed rope ladder to Level 2, past Level 1, past the Hall of the White Giant, past all the tourist stuff until you get to the part that no human has ever seen - in THAT part of my mind I thought, "Man, what if George and Kenny have just gone totally insane?" I mean, that site linked above has had legit George Michael news in the past.
Turns out this was just a careless whisper. George Michael sang about this kind of hot potato a long time ago, and I should have listened to the message more.

I was hoping against hope that this would be what you were referring to with a blog post entitled "A Careless Whisper" and, Blair, you have come through. I love George Michael and, sadly, I love this ridiculous song. Oh, the shame!
Oh yeah, and the Goss Gallery staying the Goss Gallery, that's cool, too.

I'm laughing so much you've no idea. If I may suggest, you guys are the losers for believing a 'press-release' that is SO OBVIOUSLY utter and total bull! I'm also laughing at the thought of you calling up Goss Gallery and asking the question, "Is it true that George Michael is giving all his money and property to this British guy called Remarkable?"
You total and utter fools.

I have a suggestion for the Pegasus News gang: Based on some of the comments I see around here, you need to add some questions to the registration process.
One should validate that the reader has a basic understanding of the term satire.
The other should be some type of sense of humor test. I don't know. Maybe that one could be cheated.

Remarkable is a very sad person who through depression and being jobless for many years has invented another fantasy life.Most people have disowned him.In fact most of the Characters on his blog are him, please do as many others have and just ignore him. Karen

Muzic, I hate saying this but you are the fool for thinking I called the Goss Gallery. I emailed them. HUGE difference - I mean, c'mon, man, you can't assume crazy stuff like that.
The lessons learned from 1984 run deeper than you think. Real deep. In fact they go all the way back to 1876 when Alexander Graham Bell made the first prank call to Thomas Edison.

Just the fact that you actually contacted them is pretty pathetic.

I know, Muzic. It's heartbreaking. In fact, it may be even opprobrious. This afternoon I'm taking this blog post in for some tests to see if it's fully opprobrious or just a mild case that can be treated with the new ampakine class of drugs.
