I just saw the thing in the "dead" thread from last night about the Forum snafu where they printed a pic of a guy shoveling his driveway and named him as Ben Dover.

...I think he actually gave the name Haywood Jeblome. 

I did not know you also worked in a newsroom!  Fun to have another newser on the boards.

Oh, YES! You are absolutely correct. I mis-remembered. Sorry about that.

Haywood is way funnier, too. I do remember we were REALLY glad  our newsroom didn't make that gaffe because our publisher would have come unglued and we'd have had rantings for weeks. 

I used to work at our local newspaper. Did all the special sections, from writing/photography to layout/design. Was a blast! There is nothing like the banter and camaraderie of a newsroom, in my opinion.
