On Satire Bits: Vol. 114

How’s your week going?

YIKES … winter’s first strike is approaching Cincinnati. Cold temps are one thing, but forecasts are saying 10-14 days of the stuff. Hey … it’s early November!

Tuesday was a work holiday for my wife, so we took advantage of the movie theater’s all-day-Tuesday $5.50 price. Because Mathew McConaughey is on her “exception list” and she enjoys science fiction, we chose Interstellar. It’s definitely science fiction and well done … plus an interesting collection of stars .. It’s a bit to out-there for my taste … but it held my attention.

The next post is the next act of Life: The Musical. The keyword is Love, but keep it to love, thus not other forms of the word. The act starts Wednesday, 9:30 pm (Eastern US). BTW – don’t forget to write the song’s title and artist in your comment because this helps others see the songs already used.

Time for your mid-week dose of satire from The Onion. Any favorites? Don’t forget the extra challenge of making an original headline by using the words in the headlines below. My Combo is at the end. Have a good rest of the week!
