Man charged with illegal hunting and six dogs seized by police (Eastern Daily Press, online): grammatically correct, perhaps, but it took me six attempts to see what the charge was and who, or what had been seized.
Japan Plastic bag war won but shoplifters bag hidden spoils
Apparently, they now have recyclable, multi-use shopping bags in Japan, but these are not see-through, so shoplifters get away with it. It's a bit murky, the whole thing.
President’s doctor says he ‘may not entirely be out of the woods yet’ (WaPo)
You've every right to be frightened if you see this acronym on your hospital bed chart: MNEBOOWY. Modern medical terminology, used by semi-professional 'doctors'.
From the Welsh Govt website: Scheme to help tenants affected by coronavirus launches in Wales. I wonder what a coronavirus launch looks like? It must be a kind of contagious boat with a specific effect on people in rented accommodation.

It sounds like the ultimate super-spreader, a rocket full of viruses goes up into the sky, bursts and scatters its murderous cargo over the earth beneath.
Such a thing would doubtless have an orange fuselage.

Anybody who'd think of atomic bombing a hurricane might just think how bigly wonderful a Virus Bomb would be.

On the crawl -- oops, I mean chyron -- of a news channel yesterday:
The Who announces new record
Yes, I know they meant the World Health Organization and were talking about a record number of Covid infections, but my first thought was that it's nice to see a bunch of old geezers still able to make it into the recording studio.

I don't know. I don't think they've figured it out. And did the person release Maki, or did he escape? He's an elderly lemur, and somehow wound up outside a pre-school in Daly City (south of SF). Fortunately, a kid there noticed him and told someone.
An animal-rights activist would (hopefully) take better care of Maki. Maybe the thief simply wanted a pet, or a teddy bear-like thing? Per the article, the suspect is up on serious charges.
From a Grauniad live feed again, honouring their age-old tradition of misspelling:
[...] Republicans in the swing state had tired to stay an order from the Pennsylvania supreme court allowing ballots postmarked by election day to be counted even if the arrive up to three days later. [...]
If only they had 'tired'. Undoubtedly, this would be worth a try!
Mrs C read me that story, and those were almost exactly my words, too. They're pretty cute, but they're not exactly easy to care for. Somehow, I suspect that rational thought and the lemur thief were not on speaking terms.
Just after the firebreak, there will be all sorts of strange activity on the border... It has been said many times that the current UK Government is the best advert for Welsh independence there has ever been!
Not so much wierd as downright dim: Mum cleared almost £17,000 of drugs from loft after police search – but left them in bin bag outside. (Wales Online).

Team surprises coach with cancer before game
They couldn't have just gotten him a personalized coffee mug?
They wanted to give him something he couldn't forget -- or just toss in the trash.

Better than seeing FUBAR* (or hearing it said).

I suggest a medic should treat the swelling. Is it from all that door slamming?

The zoo is still missing.
But I'm happy it's lemur was found.
I guess he gets to skip the mask, since he more or less has one?

Crazy beekeepers determined to cope in tough times
I should think that coping with mental illness would be difficult for all, regardless of profession, even in good times.
If only they had 'tired'. Undoubtedly, this would be worth a try!
And what about people who keep sane bees?
What's so incredible about being unique? Just how unique can a gadget be, anyway?
Ah, but they were "crazy beekeepers", not "crazy-bee keepers" ... I take your point, but (nit-picking) punctuation is all!
Either a thing is unique or it isn't ... there can be no degrees of uniqueness.

I am glad Black moderates this fear. He sounds like a decent guy.

From the Guardian, a tragic headline, but strangely worded:
Can this year get any worse?
In darkest Peru, presumably, with lots of Seville orange trees (marmalade, for the making of)?
Sort of the "How the elephant got into my pajamas, I'll never know" kind of thing.
