After consulting with several leading thinkers, all located conveniently in a bathroom stall, the editors of "The Daily Quotidian" voted to establish a format for the wildly popular but heretofore unheard of new, but instant classic, internet publication. In the vein (sic) of such eminent dailies as "The Onion" and other things like but not all that similar to "The Onion" both real and imagined, "The Daily Quotidian" will have posts organized thusly:
1. by date (wherein date refers to the date)
2. by section (which will approximate the sections in a real newspaper but probably not)
3. by article (that may be in first person narrative or any other grammatical way)
So for example: August 15th: Style Section: "Why Underwear as Outerwear is Wearing on Me" might be a headline. Keep in mind no such article exists yet, as it is either not yet August 15th, or it has been many times in the past but let's face it, underwear as outerwear is sexy and it would definitely not wear on me.
Unlike any real publication with a staff, talented writers, a budget, or a point, "The Daily Quotidian" will rarely contain more than one or two sections unlike the imaginary paper on which it is based which usually has coupons and painfully lame cartoons. The editors, attempting to cover for their own inadequacies both in and out of the bedroom, would simply like the reader to imagine picking up only part of a paper on the subway and only reading a few choice items on the way to work before being interrupted by an unplanned mugging.
