How’s your week? So far, my week has delivered the unexpected. Nothing major, but a host of abnormalities. Then again, I deal with them and move on.
I really enjoyed writing yesterday’s post about the speck. Thanks to Robin for adding a wonderful video that contains many interesting facts. Elyse’s Stardust video was a good musical treat.
This post happens to be a milestone – #1,100. Many of you remember the party for 1,000 this past September, which was a lot of fun for me.
It’s time to step up to the celebratory buffet for a healthy scoop of midweek satire from The Onion. Any favorites?
Let’s add a twist. Given the information in the headlines and only that information, create your own original satire headline. In order to not spoil your fun, mine is at the end. Have a good rest of the week.
Congressman torn between meaningless pledge to anti-tax zealot, well-being of nation
Environmental ad campaign encourages turning shower off after showering
Hardass cop finally finds time to play games
First totally naked Marine shares thoughts about fighting in Afghanistan
CEO’s girlfriend wearing his suit around the house
New study finds primitive customers capable of buying tools from hardware store
Toddler leader calls for increased duck visibility
Victoria Secret fashion show a hit among people not knowing pornography exists
Nation’s grandparents voice concern over reading-light levels
Boy Meets World Spin-off a dream come true for fans who grew up in and still live in the ‘90s
Here’s my combination: CEO’s first totally naked girlfriend torn between buying tools and pornography of anti-tax zealot

Reading this causes me to wonder – Is the toddler leader calling for more grandparents to do all that or is the leader calling them to play games after what he/she observed?

Hi Frank, I think it’s more the baby showered with them and then called for grandparents to play games afterward. Does that help?

“Environmental ad campaign encourages turning shower off after showering” kind of reminds me of the incident in which a well-known manufacturer of large Motor Homes was successfully sued by a person who had crashed his vehicle after leaving the driver’s seat to get a cup of coffee. One of the results of the suit was the manufacturer being required to put a warning in the vehicle’s operating manual against leaving the driver’s seat (and taking one’s hands off the steering wheel) while the vehicle is in motion.
