[ FROM THE EDITOR ]
Excellent news!!! I'm pleased to announce that a fan has
stepped forward to carry on production of The Fake News.
MIKE "Ortega" WEISS and I have reached an agreement
for the sale of the magazine, and in the next few days the
physical move will begin. I am very pleased that someone
with Mike's enthusiasm and dedication will head the fansite.
One last time, I'd like to thank everyone for their kind
notes and words of appreciation. I'm certain Mike will find
y'all as supportive as I most certainly have.
Yours in Macdonald,
Noel
And now, your NEW fearless leader ...
Fellow Norm fans, Norm freaks, Normaniacs, Norm
loyalists, or whatever you call yourselves, lend me your
eyes. After doing a fine job of maintaining the de facto
source of all things Norm Macdonald on the Internet for 2
years, G. Noel Gross announced that he would be stepping
down as editor and publisher. This sent a wave of shock and
despair amongst the fans of the funniest man alive as it
seemed inevitable that TFN would crumble to the ground,
leaving them with no virtual safe-haven for their Norm
Macdonald needs. Then seemingly out of nowhere a young,
spry, talented, Internet savvy Norm fan who just happened
to have a couple of bucks on him, came along and said: THE
FAKE NEWS WILL SURVIVE! Hi, I'm Mike Weiss.
For those of you who are frequent posters on The Fake
News forum, you probably know me better as "Ortega"
which was a nickname I created for myself years ago after
someone pointed out my rather unhealthy relationship with
tortilla chips and salsa. These days a more appropriate
nickname would "Citra" but now that I own TFN, I'll just go
by "Mike" if none of you mind.
Just to give you a little info about myself, I'm a young
college student living in Las Vegas, Nevada and attending
school at UNLV. And no, I don't live outside a casino.well,
not anymore. I'm also a wannabe actor/comedian. When I
first saw Norm perform on Weekend Update back in 1996, I
said to myself "that's what I want to be when I grow up."
I've been following Norm' s career ever since while devising
a plan to become the next Weekend Update anchor. That's
the only real reason I want COLIN QUINN to stay on the
show, I wouldn't have that tough of an act to follow.
If you've ever accidentally typed http://computermike.com
into your browser' s address bar, then you've visited my
personal home on the web. If you're gonna go there now
(well I'd prefer if you finished reading this statement, then
go there) let me apologize ahead of time for the out-dated
photo of myself. Let's just say I've grown a lot in 3 years.
What do I look like now? I look like ADAM CAROLLA and
JIMMY KIMMEL (Comedy Central's The Man Show) had a
baby.
Well, if you'd like to know more about me, just go to
http://computermike.com/about.htm. If you'd like to ask me
something or just want to shoot the breeze, my current e-mail
is webmaster
To conclude: With an inexpensive, unlimited bandwidth,
unlimited storage web hosting plan paired with my years of
Internet and web designing experience and my almost absurd
dedication to Norm, The Fake News will continue its
reputation of being the one-stop resource for everything
Norm Macdonald with me as the editor and publisher.
"Of course, that's just my opinion. I could be wrong."

That's all for now fellow Norm fans, hope I wasn't too
long winded. Just remember ... FAKE NEWS IS GOOD
NEWS!!!

THE WINNER:
A drunk Norm Macdonald welcomes Chris Rock and Eddie

-- Bert Simpson
TOO GOOD NOT TO SHARE:
"I requested to have George Jones, Johnny Cash and Hank
Williams Jr. as my musical guests. Turns out they thought I
said, 'Could you get three guys that sound like crap?' "
-- David Arial
Guess who's high?
-- Nick Billings
Norm as the musical guest on SNL with his new breed of
rap: Gay rap, with the help of Dr. Gay, Snoop Doggie Style
and Himenhim. It was the least watched SNL of all time,
because you know, it's gay rap. It's not very good.
-- Super Dave
Out of the camera's view, Snoop Dogg shoots Norm in the
spine, paralyzing him and rendering his arms useless.
-- Dave Findlay
"Ehhhhhhhhhhhh. Sit on it!"
-- Vish Khanna
"You see doctor, I have this rash I'd like you to take a look
at."
-- B. Nicole King
Once again Norm displays that he has absolutely no rhythm.
-- Joseph Webb
"Do you guys know that, um, old George Jones tune, He
Stopped Loving His Bitch Today?"
-- Chris Welch
