Contributor Post Created with Sketch. Dennis Miller, Ricochet Fan

 

The great Dennis Miller mentioned your humble site on his radio show today:

Of course, this audio is just a pretext for a certain Ricochet editor to boast that he made one of his comedic idols laugh. Said editor even posted this story under the anonymous Ricochet Editor account to ensure he didn’t come off as arrogant and self-serving.

Please let me… I mean, please let the Ricochet Editor account know if this transparent ruse was successful.

    I don’t know who wrote this post, Albert, but I am amazed at his/her grasp of the English language. I bet he/she is very good looking too.

    I don’t twitter but I’ve been waiting for someone to mention it, every time I see that ad I think, this guy looks like he hasn’t showered in a week , I be loathe to go near any hotel he’s been in. I’m glad I’m not alone.

    Looks like others agree with The Ricochet Editor’s Desk. I didn’t know the TG, so I Goolged him. One comment:

    If the cops would just question that skeevy Trivago spokesman guy they’d find he’s responsible for 75% of the country’s unsolved murders.
    by: Bob Phillips

    BTW: Shouldn’t it be “Ricochet Editors’ Desk”? Or perhaps preceded by “Random”) Or is the office so crowded there’s only one?

    I’m surprised this is the first Ricochet article to use the “hubris” tag.

    Maybe Dennis Miller can call in and record a testimonial for why folks should be a Ricochet member for Rob’s bleg/hard-sell for the Podcast…

    Dennis and I went to the same college and had the same major but I am about 12 years older. I always try to catch him on tv when I can. Not only is he very funny , he is real smart.

     Actually, Dennis and I went to different colleges and had different majors and he’s a lot younger but other than that …

    And no, there is no statue of Dennis on the Point Park campus. But there is a weird reference to one.

    Notice how you never get a good look at the backs of his hands?

    Love-hate knuckle tattoos. They’re there – you know they are.
