Jake Posted July 25, 2005 Man, the joke about Steve Gibson misspelling the URL which then got turned into the Thumb topquote has already been re-noticed and commented on in that thread on Shack. The Internet is about to explode. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lechimp Posted July 25, 2005 Another victory for Chris Remo Action News! Too bad that it's going to now take longer than ever for Idle Thumbs to get new updates now that he will have to devote some time to Shacknews. But at least Idle Thumbs will get a lot more traffic with all the times they posted the link to the site in the comments section. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MrHoatzin Posted July 26, 2005 I hope shacknews people don't forget you in your hotel room, come E3. Everything else is a moot point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Posted July 26, 2005 Thanks, guys I don't really know how much time I'll have for Thumbs (I just gave my two weeks' notice at my other job today, so right now I'm sort of working two full-time jobs simultaneously, holy crap) yet, but I'm sure I'll figure it out once I get the hang of things. There's one thing of which you can be sure, however... Remo Extremo will always belong to The Thumb. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miffy495 Posted July 26, 2005 Remo, don't you ever fuckin leave. Even a semi-annual guest column is enough, but if the Extremo should die, so would a good portion of the awesome around this place. Not enough to make the Thumb not really awesome anyway, but a lot of awesome nonetheless. Edit: I just noticed that in telling you how awesome you are, I forgot to congratulate you. Good on ya, man. Let's hope shack deserves you... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roderick Posted July 26, 2005 Way to go, Chris Remo! Don't stop littering the Thumb with eXtreme poses. Should I start reading The Shack now? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marek Posted July 26, 2005 Now that it's official, we've totally reported on ourselves in Idle News. It helps us with the emotional process I guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
