Kevin Spagrud
Last issue’s award-winning typo was a classic — one of those boo-boos that happens when the editor’s dumb fingers hit an extra key. In Aidan Morgan’s excellent Oct. 10 Television Man column, a sentence meant to start “sadly, my friends…” instead began “sadly0, my friends…”. Ha ha ha! That’s a zero, by the way—not an “O”.
Several readers reported the typo so we used complicated algorithms (coin flips) to pick this issue’s Wiener. Kevin Spagrud, DJ Honky to his online enemies, is a hardware specialist, photographer and, ick, Boston Bruin’s fan. Besides taking home one of Regina’s most awesome t-shirts, “Spagrudy0” also wins a copy of Trent Portigal’s Death Train of Provincetown courtesy of Typo Wiener sponsor Radiant Press (radiantpress.ca).
In conclusion: Bruins suck! Go Blue Jackets. And congratulations, Kevin!
