Oldly Apeeling

Sometimes I love the Onion so much it makes me want to cry. ZING!
Yeah, it’s two years old, but I either missed the first time around or forgot, so suck it. Another superb oldie which is (extremely vaguely: in an “I quite can’t remember the plot to that movie” sorta way) reminiscent of every day in lab:
Sometimes I spend an hour just reading the headlines. The headline is at least half of the fun. I would stake (and frequently have staked) every last troy ounce of my well established and widely accepted street-cred on debating that.
Or maybe that’s just another example of chronic internet attention-span loss syndrome. Boom, instant comedy satisfaction in less than twenty words. Come to think of it, I also enjoy reading the single-paragraph news in briefs more than the full length articles. The latter have all those WORDS in them. It’s like doing work!
Oh god… I’m not even sure if that was serious or not.

America’s finest news source. I suggest you get hold of the collection Our Dumb Century (if you haven’t already).
My favourite headline is from 1969:
HOLY SHIT! MAN WALKS ON FUCKING MOON!

R.J.:
I need one of these bad boys.
R.A.D.:
I love that volume. The 1969 one is a true classic. The WA- one is particularly memorable too.
