The podcast Deadline Detroit posts a headline on facebook with multiple stories from that episode listed in sentence form (and made more comical by the lack of an Oxford comma). Today's is:
Trying Vegan Coney Dogs, Ford is Spending Big Bucks in Corktown and Previewing Digital Summit Detroit
Not quite a headline, but the subject of a "news" "roundup" email I get but don't remember signing up for: 41 years in a BA* cabin.
41 years! He kept knocking, shouting, screaming for someone to let him out - no one heard him though! Now he has emerged back into civilization (reads the news and locks himself back in the cabin...).
I did read, some years ago, of a branch of Woolworths which had emblazoned across its window "Buy one, get one" - because the window wasn't wide enough to fit in the word "free".
Of course it was in Aberdeen ...
There is also the alleged case of the bridal shop offering wedding dresses: "But one, get a second half-price". I suppose that might have more relevance nowadays, with Equal Marriage.
My dear BBC asks this. I only had had two swallows of java when I sought info about the Himmicane this morning.
Is "Where" a place? Is Florence a Being? Think I'll go back to bed.
From today's Times: Archbishop Welby tells parishes to turn their church into a temple of fun
Funny, I thought the building was there to shelter us as we gave thanks to our maker and creator, pray for guidance in our lives, and do penance for us misdeeds.
Without signing up I can’t read the whole report, but from what I can read the headline looks more like a sub-editor’s work than the archbishop’s. The address is also reported in the Telegraph.
I originally read the above as being about Prince *George*, and wondered why a little boy would be expected to do that...and who in the world thinks it necessary to iron shoelaces?
It reminds me of the classic commercial for a medication to treat constipation which proudly proclaimed "Your first dose will be your last!" Very ominous! My father always chortled when that came on!

Now, this piece just in, from the Washington Post:
And I thought I had safely dumped them in the bin after breakfast! Better check twice!
Gonna find out who's naughty or nice . . . even if the current occupant of the White House can't tell the difference.

I never thought I'd live to see the local news fence ill-gotten goods.

Delightfully ambiguous: is Trump "less lucid than he normally is" or "less lucid than we expect normal people to be"?
It's like a line from the Emperor's New Clothes. Somebody had to say it!
They could at least have put him in a tomb. A ceremony seems no final resting place.

It's much cheaper when you cut out the middle man!
Manchester traffic 'worst outside London'
Wow! a 200 mile tailback, is this a record?
I'm not sure I want to know what 'red-handed' means here!
Clearly someone employed to repaint postboxes and old-fashioned phone-boxes, who'd had a recent malfunction with the paint can and brush.

Would you prefer they take the left 50%, or the right 50%?

Man shoots driver at intersection, runs off, is still on the loo
Well, that explains why he was in such a hurry.

I read it as Trump was less lucid than Trump was normal!

I have put further reflections to this on the SoF Q & A thread for slightly more serious discussion!
Constipation is everywhere. You just have to know where to look.
Well, if we're going to make a game of hide and seek out of it, I think I know where I'd start.
