Last Chance posted:Looks like this is a response to some of that controversial tweet business: That's a great response. I'm glad to see them joke about it. And here is a recent one that got the biggest guffaw out of me yet: Sonny Bono Foundation Prevents At-Risk Youths From Skiing Into Trees. I feel sort of bad about laughing at famous people dying stupid deaths, but it is too funny not to.

Wubbles posted:Fun times are over. I thought that this one was funny. The joke is that at that age, the significance of everything is blown way out of proportion. In addition to the Point/Counterpoint articles, I like the advice columns as well. Someone earlier posted the Ask An Elderly Black Woman As Depicted By A Sophomore Creative Writing Major, and some of the more bizarre have included Ask The Voice-Over From The Dukes Of Hazzard, Ask A Frat Brother Who Just Accidentally Drowned A Pledge During A Hazing Gone Horribly Awry, Ask A College Professor Having Trouble With The Audiovisual Equipment, and Ask A Man Who's Jowl-Deep In Phyllis Diller's Pussy. I also like the latest infographic: Dr. Seuss' Lesser-Known Titles. And here is a classic article: Lovecraftian School Board Member Wants Madness Added To Curriculum.
