Ack! Scurrilous is gone! My favorite feature in the paper I rarely read (that is, the back page gossip column in the Red Streak) was replaced by an ad for the Sun-Times today. Looks like it’s been gone since the 7th. It’s been weeks since I’ve picked up a Red Streak — a result of their inconsistent some-boxes-are-free-some-aren’t policy. Whenever I get the urge to read the Red Streak (or more specifically, Scurrilous) I’d always seem to be passing by one of the still-a-quarter vending machines. And as soon as they’d trained me that I could get it for free, damned if I was going to shell out $0.25.

Oh, Scurrilous. You introduced me to the Important Persons Act. You were delightfully mean. I… hardly ever read you. I’m sorry.
