This sophomoric parody makes me miss sponsored content on weekends.

Like the DSA beholden Stranger would ever try to diminish property rights.

Will someone kindly point out the portmanteau to me so that I can go about my day?

Fred Casely on July 5, 2015 at 1:29 PM

@4 I think the portmanteau in this case is the username, JonathanLivingstonNazgul69, a combination of Jonathan Livingston Seagull and LOTR's Nazgul. The 69 isn't really part of the portmanteau; it's just there because, obviously, someone else had already thought of it first, so the number is needed for differentiation and mutual funsies.

That's not exactly a portmanteau, though. More a play on words. "Nazgull" or "Seagul" would be portmanteaus, but only by technicality.

This is the coolest fucking thing in The Stranger in years.

It was a great day for me when I finally pried A. Birch Steen's identity out of Tim Keck.

@2 You found "Bill Hearst" sophomoric? I actually applauded silently in my chair to that one...

@9 - After reading again and some the earlier posts for context - I'll take that back.

@7 sounds like a thrilling afternoon of anagrams.

(But I always assumed that at some point A. Birch Steen became the Dread Pirate Roberts.)

Doesn't read like the "real" A. Birch Steen. Reads like your standard angst-y teenager/Stranger writer doing a stoned impression of Rush Limbaugh. Bring back the real thing!
