- PhantomGremlin 9y agoHere's Walt Mossberg (nee Mosspuppet) interviewing Steve Jobs. Definitely NSFW. Tempus fugit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sr4pPAn-m5g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sr4pPAn-m5g

- PhantomGremlin 9y agoI didn't know there was a female/male distinction. In my defense, Wiktionary says: In the original French, the masculine form né should be used when the subject is masculine. In English, this distinction is not always followed. But even ignoring gender I still kind of screwed it up. I was really going more for "a.k.a.". And I'm quite sad that so many downvoted the Mosspuppet. I really loved that character. He really added some fun to the otherwise somewhat stuffy Walt Mossberg.
- basseq 9y agoAnd I'm quite sad that so many downvoted the Mosspuppet. I bet most people thought you were coining a derogative term for Mossberg with the implication he was a puppet (mouthpiece) of Jobs/Apple. Not a literal puppet character. (I know I did.)
