Since this is our first day back in nine months, why not start with one of our favorites? Regular readers may remember our bizarre obsession with Paulie, that pioneering Elderfrink and enthusiastic supporter of KC nightlife. Not long before we departed, Paulie quit the Ink world and went into the silver-haired underground. But let all [...]

State Of The Line Farewell Tour: Paulie
Posted in Farewell Tour, Ink, Paulie on February 15, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Ed. note: to celebrate our final week, we’re taking a look back at some of our most frequently covered topics.
There are a lot of things we’re going to miss about running this site. But to be totally honest, we might miss Paulie the most. For those who don’t recall the early days of SOTL, Paulie [...]
BREAKING: Our Silver-Haired Friend Rides Again
Posted in Awesomeness, Ink, Paulie on January 15, 2009 | 6 Comments »
This is a bright day for Kansas City. Regular readers will recall how depressed we were when we lost the regular contributions of Paulie, the elder statesman of Ink. The local online world has been a bit duller since his thoughts on love, life, and the Voodoo Lounge ceased to grace that site. Well, take [...]
State Of The Line Enters Bizarro World, Somehow Joins Forces With Gonzo Blogger Momar Van Der Camp
Posted in Comedy, Controversy, Ink, Local Journalism, Momar Van Der Camp, Paulie on December 22, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Well, it was unsettling enough when gonzo Ink blogger Momar Van Der Camp found our posts about him and emailed us. But this is reaching entirely new and disturbing heights: with the most recent contribution to his ongoing blog series, “Fear and Loathing in Overland Park,” Momar Van Der Camp (whose full name we always [...]
‘Frink’ World Enters Passive, Non-Blogging Winter Slumber — Is Painfully Dull Career Counselor To Blame?

It’s been some time since we checked in with our friends over at KC’s Most Important Social Networkingish “Media” Site (otherwise known as Ink). We do drop by every once in a while to see what those crazy bloggin’ kids are writing about these days (anything they want, really, provided they don’t anger Thought Police [...]
BREAKING: Is Ink Purging the ‘Frink’ Ranks of All Enemy Sympathizers?
Posted in Ink, Local Journalism, Paulie, Suspicion on November 12, 2008 | 6 Comments »
It’s been a calamitous few days for the powers that be over at KC’s Most Important Social Networkingish “Media” Site. First Ink editor Laurie Mansfield posted a somewhat incendiary — and unquestionably unjustified — mini-rant against a rival reporter. Then she got a bit of bad press over the whole matter. Then the whole thing [...]
Evaluating The Candidates For Future Ink Mockery
Posted in Ink, Local Journalism, Momar Van Der Camp, Paulie, TG Design on November 11, 2008 | 3 Comments »
It’s no secret that we’ve been hurting for mockery-worthy “frinks” since the sudden and scandalous departure of the inimitable Paulie. Sure, there are plenty of other easy targets floating around KC’s Most Important Social Networkingish “Media” Site, but few possess the right combination of suave gentility and brash opinion-making exhibited so admirably by our white-haired [...]
Pondering The Future of Ink Mockery in a Paulie-less World
Posted in Ink, Local Journalism, Momar Van Der Camp, Paulie, TG Design on November 6, 2008 | 3 Comments »
One thing that’s gone largely unspoken around the SOTL world — by which I mean “emails to each other” — is how we continue to take on one of our most frequent nemeses in the absence of that publication’s Lunatic-in-Chief. As you may remember from the simple days before this crazy election, Ink, KC’s Most [...]

Sniff. The disappearance of Paulie continues to affect not just this site, but that of our nemesis. The memorials continue to pile up over at KC’s Most Important Social Networkingish “Media” site, including disavowals of scurrilous behavior by Cherryh Butler, an actually-sort-of-clever Steinbeck reference by “jackvelvet,” and burgeoning suspicion about a new “frink.” Paulie, is that [...]
