OH!!!

And it appears that The Onion has been sold to the Chinese.

;D ;D ;D ;D

*Even just a quick scan of the headlines should provide a good amount of chuckles.


I have never heard of The Onion.

DS Betsy graduated from UW Madison, where The Onion began, and she knows a lot of its founders/writers.  Most consistently hilarious parodies out there.  One of my favorite Onion headlines:

TOD:

Much of my shopping is very spontaneous. I see, I like, I buy.

My garage is full of spontaneous purchases.


Give me two hours locked in a hotel room with Mikey, and I will think of something spontaneous to do!

Nothing like a carefree romp in the sand!  :)



You could very easily photoshop them holding hands.  Or maybe they photoshoped them to look like they were not holding hands!

Good Evening!

Tonight's DR elmore report: Still dealing with quite a bit of discomfort. Still waiting for a call from his doctor and the results of his x-rays. Still... Well, you get the picture.  The same ole, same ole for better or worse.

He sends his best and VIBES to everyone.

DR TCB - If you need two hours to think of something spontaneous to do with DR MBarnum, well... Heck, it only took me two seconds the first time I met Mikey...  ::)

Actually, I kind of bought my little bungalow spontaneously.   I found it on the internet, went tot he open house, called my realtor on the phone and said get over here I'm making an offer right now.  By the end of the day I bought the house.   I was looking for a condo at the time.  It was the only house I looked at.  I loved that place.

BK, Sorry about your car.  I had my window broken out when I was doing genealogy research at the Mormon library in Mesa. I was parked right next to the Mormon temple at the time. Nothing was stolen (I didn't have anything to steal back then) But it scared me and was a real pain in the butt

I used to do a lot of spontaneious things, usually while I was drinking.

Funny thing, when I stopped drinking, my spontaneity stopped.

Back from a sandwich at Jerry's with Kevin.  I told him I was not happy with the direction the show was going in, and he completely agreed with me.  I then talked through the initial set up of the theme of the show - and it will work really well from there and everything sort of fell into place as I talked it out.  It will now be much easier from here.  It's funny - it's so easy to tell when I'm not thrilled with something - I just sit quietly and can't make decisions or give ideas - not until it feels right and I know we're on the right path.  So, that's what I did today - nothing about what we were doing felt good, and that's why I left early - to figure it out, which I did whilst driving home in the car with the new window.

Laura, you're the kind of friend everyone needs.  In LA, no matter how close my friends are in terms of being friends, no one will actually get in their car and come and take care of you - at least that's been my experience.  They either don't want to drive or they're busy or something is always up.  If someone needs me, I cancel what I'm doing (unless that's impossible) and I'm there.  But that's me.

I just started plans for a fall trip this year.  I'm going to drive my parents to Viroqua, WI to visit my Adam, Sundee and Gabe in their new town.   I also want to go see Taliesin.  It's less than an hour from there.  I just got the idea to go today .  Adam helped pick the weekend and mom and dad said yes immediately.  It's a long drive, but I'm really looking forward to it.

Spontaneous planning...what a concept....the trip isn't until October, so it's not really that spontaneous

We are back from visiting John.  He's slightly more responsive today and his color is better.  Still not conscious, though.  His cardiac surgeon announced to the family, "Well, I fixed MY part."

Ginny, sounds like the cardiac surgeon is a bit rude.  Glad to here there may be a little progress.  Vibes that it continues

BK, I've been with my DH for 30 years. The day his car was broken into was the only time I have EVER heard him say a bad word. It's very very upsetting to have your space invaded like that.

It is.  And having broken glass in your car makes it worse.
