Profound Pronouncements and its predecessor, Words of Wisdom, by me, Ill-Gotten Booty has put out the last paper copy. For those of you who don’t know, “Words of Wisdom by Ill-Gotten Booty” was originally a recurring feature of the official newsletter of a business on the north side of Lincoln. The name “Ill-Gotten Booty” was taken from an article describing how certain shoplifters were prevented from leaving with their ‘ill-gotten booty’. A colleague commented that ‘ill-gotten booty’ sounded like it could be the name of the bass player from parliament-Funkadelic—and a new fictional character was born!
After an unexpected grace period the powers-that-be decided at one point that the newsletter needed to be more...hmmm...how to put it? Bland? It was at that point that “Words of Wisdom by Ill-Gotten Booty” came to life as an independent entity. After several years Booty Central moved to south Lincoln and continued as ‘Profound Pronouncements’. Eventually an on-line version in the form of a blog started up, mirroring what was being published on paper.
Well, it’s time to change again. Ill-Gotten Booty will still hold forth on-line, but this is the last paper version of this publication. You can find Ill-Gotten Booty at http://ill-gottenbooty.blogspot.com/ - and it’s interactive! You can respond to and become part of the articles that you have laughed at, disagreed with and sometimes just scratched your heads in puzzlement at! It’s been a fun seven years or so, but I’ve killed enough trees!
