 Posted on December 31, 2009  |  The Editor

We’ve done the list of you all liked the best (judged purely on page views), but screw that because now its time for us to say the best posts of the year were. “Translating Pam Maples’ Goodbye Memo to Post Dispatch Staff“ This one made the list simply because of the response we got from this post. Not in the comments or any type of even remotely public forum, but in private communications. [Read More]

 Posted on December 23, 2009  |  The Editor

Though we didn’t start until a little after the new year with Punching Kitty, and of course, there was our little multi-month, unplanned “break,” we’ve had a good first year here. Here, in order of most page views, are our most popular stories: Breaking: KFNS Producer Arrested on Rape Charges Update on the KFNS Producer Arrested on Rape Charges When You Account for the Season, the Cardinals Aren’t All That Cheap Free Beer for Ladies: August Busch IV is Back on the Market Is This the Final Goodbye From The Bull’s Craig Cornett?

We Got a Letter From Charles Jaco Last Night!

 Posted on December 1, 2009  |  The Editor

Remember this post from a while back? We found a video on YouTube of a young, mustachioed Charles Jaco (Now of Fox2) on CNN. The commentary bookending the video says that Jaco “faked” this news report and that it was all filmed in a studio. Lets be clear: Those views, as we stated in the post, are of the video maker’s. Not ours. Frankly that was pretty clear. From the post “Did Charles Jaco Fake a Desert Storm CNN Report? [Read More]

Taking a Thanksgiving Break

 Posted on November 20, 2009  |  The Editor

For the next week postings here will be spotty at best as we are off for a little Thanksgiving vacation. The goal is to post a few times up here throughout the week, but that has a little to do with my drive to write over my vacation and more to do with the availability of the internet. Unlike our last “break” I promise to return after the Thanksgiving weekend. [Read More]

Links: Because We Were Writing a Long Post All Night

 Posted on November 19, 2009  |  The Editor

Here are a few links form around the Lou-net: JoeSportsFan found a common thread for every headline about the new American League Cy Young, and no it they don’t all begin with “Who?!” The Short Buzz found that video of me and my two friends performing in our “Hot Sunday” cover band. The Beautiful Kind profiles porn-star Buck Angel. Its really not safe for work, but if it is for you are you hiring? [Read More]

We Got Fireballed

 Posted on November 12, 2009  |  The Editor

Yesterday we put up our post about the Investment Rating of all 31 Major League Baseball teams after factoring in their final salaries. It was a post we worked on late into the night for and we were pretty proud of it considering just a few posts before it we were making puns about Pam from the Office’s vagina. Later on yesterday you may have seen the site be…a little slow. [Read More]

Upgrades Are Happening. See You Monday!

 Posted on October 23, 2009  |  The Editor

We are taking today and the weekend to do a few behind the scenes upgrades here at PK headquarters. You may have noticed recently that we have been experiencing more down time and some slowness issues. Some of it is because of how and where this is run from and some of it is because we are getting kinda popular and are outgrowing our space a big. Either way, that crap isn’t cool, so we have been spending some time planning upgrades to keep you guys getting all the Punching Kitty you need whenever you want it. [Read More]

Links: Were You Click To Get the News From Someone Else

 Posted on October 16, 2009  |  The Editor

Today’s top goings on… FourSquare officially launched in St. Louis! (We told you…just sayin.) Pujols freaked out the Cardinals with his comments on some crazy Dominican radio station. The RFT took an idea off the table for us by exploring the W00t! offices. Metro Link gives up and ask the rest of us for ideas. Can’t get any worse I guess. Bowling allies are freaking out about the smoking bans. [Read More]
