Thursday Thirteen is played by lots of people; there is a list here. I've been playing for a while and this is my 280th time to do a list of 13 on a Thursday.
Headlines can be so amusing -- it's one of my favorite segments on the rare occasion I watch Jay Leno. Some make you wonder if the writer/editor stopped to actually think about how their words sound. My T13
ReplyDeleteHa,ha,ha! What makes them so funny is that the writers were completely serious when they wrote it.
ReplyDeleteGreat fun. Enjoyed them all. And they say journalism isn't dead.
ReplyDeleteCranial disengagement at its best.
ReplyDeleteI like 10. (Must be the season's red swag sneaking up on me turning me into a temporary romantic.)
ReplyDeleteDoes number twelve count as irony? I'm not sure anymore. (Curse you, Alanis!!!)
ReplyDeleteLOL! Actually, it makes total sense that hackers would hack into an online meeting about them.
ReplyDelete#1 is my favorite. It set the stage. I love this sort of thing. It reminds me of the Talking Heads song: Stop Making Sense!
ReplyDeleteLoved them all, but #7 really tickled my fancy. Thanks for the smile.
ReplyDeleteVery good...you just spread some smiles around, and that is a good thing! Thanks for the laugh.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I see those kind of things in the paper and I have to wonder if there is a proofreader or editor working there.
ReplyDeleteMade me smile, especially 7, 8, 18. All interesting. Thanks :)
ReplyDeleteHunter attacked by unarmed bear, too funny! Thanks for the chuckles. Happy T13!
ReplyDeleteIs #2 based on the actual radio interview with the woman who called in about the deer sign in a high traffic area? That was HILARIOUS! It's amazing how oblivious people can truly be. LOL! Have a great weekend!
