Jacksonville (Ga.) mayor charged with impersonating an officer and trying to make a traffic stop while high on weed. He was arrested by the Telfair County sheriff, the county in which Jacksonville lies. Telfair is possibly the epitome of the backwards south. The cruiser was available for use as the town has had no officers for a month, since the chief and other officer (his wife) stole a newspaper box. So why did they steal it?

It's definitely missing "Crop Duster": Sadly and/or proudly, I can identify that many of these are plagiarized from The Dictionary of Farts, a book that I read often as a child and still keep on my bookshelf for reference purposes.

Leavemywife posted:The potential to write headlines like that makes me want to get into journalism. The best was the story about the DUI checkpoints after a country music concert in an open field in the very deep south. We spent more time scouring the artist's catalog for an appropriate song title headline than writing the article. Something like "Checkpoints uncover 'Beer in the Headlights'" won out. The vast majority of the time news outlets know exactly what they're doing with headlines. There are even contests for them in press association awards.

I would blow Dane Cook posted:Mike Love is the only original Beach Boys member in this particular incarnation of the beach boys. Bruce Johnston's had a couple of stints, but he's right at 50 years with the group. Kinda disturbing when you have 50 years in a group and you're not an original. Love was 20 when the band released their first single. The rest ranged in age from 14-19. Love turned 80 a few months ago and him creepily pretending to still be a boy is not even close to the worst thing he's ever done.

Kelly certainly doesn't need to be the one making the joke, considering his/Notre Dame's background. It was, though, based on a line from former Buccaneers coach John McKay in the 1970s. McKay's Bucs were horrendous. Seriously awful. McKay was asked at halftime what he thought of his team's execution (meaning plays). Seizing the opportunity, McKay responded he was for it.

151 Walker is my man. He had the disadvantage of being a bit bigger to start with, but he's rounded out nicely. 503's a stronger contender as well. Otis is a young up-and-comer and I expect him to be at the top in a year or two.

That last one can be explained a bit. "Walt Disney Is" is the jump column, carried over from 1. Some papers are fine with uneven headlines that don't fill up the whole space. This one seems to have gone a step farther, with a nearly justified jump. Some papers labeled their jumps, some just told you that it continued on a certain page. This for sure labeled what story you were continuing. Most papers then ran 7 or 8 columns - 6 is industry standard now - so "Walt Disney Is" takes up the right amount of space. As an aside, if youh haven't flipped through newspaper archives from decades past, the front pages are a shock compared to now for how the design and consideration of content have changed.

Garrand posted:I had initially assumed that the "8 highschool coaches" was part of the exageration, but no I guess this high school had 8 coaches (well, 7 assistant coaches). How many coaches does a hs football team need? Granted, my state is cuckoo for high school football, but 8 is a few smaller than biggest staffs here. The crazier, better booster supported schools have position coaches, on top of the offensive and defensive coordinators, who are not to be confused with the head coach. And not to be confused with the JV program, either.
