It's one of the rare articles that isn't filtered by the paywall. You should be good to go without an account.

The Cullen children wanted to pull a prank on the Penguins. They started bouncing ideas off one another when Joey’s light bulb suddenly lit up.
“Let’s put sleeping pills in their spaghetti,” the 7-year-old yelled.
Matt had to interject: “How about we don’t do anything criminal, Joey?”

And to think if it wasn’t for Yohe we wouldn’t have shared that laugh. Thanks Josh.

Yohe didn't write that article.

Postby **Morkle** » Fri Nov 03, 2017 10:02 am

He just retweeted it. If it's anything to do with Cullen, Yohe gets wet.

Postby **NailedPenguin** » Fri Nov 03, 2017 10:08 am

Yeah. I tried to post a screen shot instead of the tweet. The visual of seeing that tweet in my feed and real small, "Josh Yohe retweeted" above it just made me laugh.

So this happened because of a Colin Pittsburgh Dad Jr. tweet: http://pittsburgh.cbslocal.com/2017/11/ ... t-twitter/

Pittsburgh Dad Jr. isn't worth all that

“Social media sometimes has a way of bringing out the worst in all of us. Today, I learned that I am no exception. In a completely misguided attempt at humor and the lederhosen costume in Mr. Pittsburgh Dad Jr.’s photo, I made an inexcusable comment. I apologize sincerely to both him and his family and hope they will forgive this error in judgment. I also want to apologize to the entire community, including students and parents. This incident serves as a reminder of how important it is to think before we comment. Words matter, and kindness is more important than trying to get a quick laugh.”

Translation, "I'm as stupid as I am not funny".

Looks like Sara Civian has moved on from DK. She was brought on to cover the Pirates and got moved off that for minor league hockey and college stuff, I think.

Is that the puckeyball girl or whatever?

I know she's wrote such groundbreaking pieces as this:

What’s funny is that DK has this major axe to grind with the city of Vancouver, and everyone else in the media is kind of mocking him for it. Yohe tweeting a scenic picture and Mueller saying “it’s not Winnipeg”... Mackey just sarcastically saying “total hole”.

Postby **pens9192** » Mon Nov 06, 2017 1:58 pm

This is what DK said in Saturday's site stuff: "Sara was paid per article, so she wasn’t full-time or even part-time. She chose to leave for someplace where she can be that. This sort of thing happens all the time, and it’ll continue to happen."

She was brought on to cover the Pirates full time two months ago, then WBS, then paid per article...no duh why she left. Does Lolley or Katie Brown get paid per article or is it just the part timers? Strange

DK just talked up Sara's WBS work and now she's gone and their social media girl is doing it now. So she agreed to join DK's site under the pretense of doing the Pirates beat, decides against it (?) and then paid per article WBS stuff and now gone? I know turnover happens but its just weird how it does at DKPS..

Postby **Morkle** » Mon Nov 06, 2017 2:19 pm

It's way more than clear that DK is horrible at managing a business.

Colin Pittsburgh Dad Jr.‏ @colin_Pittsburgh Dad Jr.
Kids aren't old enough to be embarrassed by me yet -and it's really hot. So I went full Yinzer Dad and bought a tank top to wear at Disney.

Some fresh Yinzer comedy from Pittsburgh Dad Jr.. Oh man he's wearing a shirt, that is just so Pittsburgh

Just don't tell him to kill himself.

I've lost track who even works at DK anymore. And that whole Vancouver trashing is weird.

Postby **Morkle** » Mon Nov 06, 2017 4:14 pm

What does wearing a tank-top have to do with being a yinzer? Dunturd sucks. Dunturd is a name I'm trying out, seeing if it works or not.

Postby **willeyeam** » Mon Nov 06, 2017 6:09 pm

It doesn't

Postby **willeyeam** » Mon Nov 06, 2017 6:09 pm

I'd suggest Duncrap, if you're gonna go that route

Postby **slappybrown** » Mon Nov 06, 2017 6:43 pm

Duncrap is good imo
