the Onion is one of the oldest lampoon papers in the nation. For goodness sake just click on the homepage. Recent sports headline is....

"Phelps retuirned to his tank at Seaworld"

Hi Free to be ME,

I didn't 'fall' for anything. I am well aware of 'the Onion's' reputation for lampooning all kinds of things. Unfortunately, I haven't found the paper version locally in some time. I have always gotten a kick out of it.

I posted this as part of the 'Jokes' purpose of this part of the Archive. The absursidty of 'the Onion's' articles can still manage to say a lot about our culture and how different groups view things. I included this here because I was becoming way too serious in one of the threads about my life. I needed a good laugh and I got quite a few from this article and its links.

Take care,

Danya

nuke that stupid fish.

Yes, almost as funny as Fox News, almost, but too real for Fox News.

I think NOW IS THE TIME. Yes, NOW IS THE TIME TO REVIVE THIS THREAD.

Why now in particular? Well, it seems that someone who shall remain nameless, will be bringing in a bunch of "IT" soon. Yes, I.T.,

ITALLIAN TRANSSEXUALS

Or possibly Indian Transsexuals, I am not sure, but you will have to ask the un-named one....(who's name is Riverwind)

Just WHY he feels he must bring I.T. to the E.A. I am not sure.

This "IT" business in really remeniscent of Monty Python's movie "Search For The Holy Grail." I remember there were a group of knights, they were called "The Knights Who Say Neek" but then they changed all that and became "The Knights Who Say It."
