The Gift of Onion

I was sitting at the circ desk looking supremely bored last weekend and Reference Diva took it upon herself to bestow a miracle upon me. She brought me a golden calf....Dispatches from the Tenth Circle: The Best of the Onion. I've been an Onion fan for a long time, but it's orgasmically delicious to have a big bunch of Oniony goodness in one place. Without much more to-do...my favorite headlines from The Onion.

I Can Instantly Tell Whether Someone is African-American with My Amazing "Blackdar"

Children of Divorce Twice as Likely to Write Bad Poetry

Chicken Killed

Depression Hits Losers Hardest

Tenth Circle Added to Rapidly Growing Hell

CNN Still Releasing News Piled Up During Elian Gonzalez Saga

Sudanese 14-Year-Old Has Midlife Crisis

Gay Gene Isolated, Ostracized

South Postpones Rising Again for Yet Another Year

And my very very very favorite that made me cackle and disturb everyone in the library:

Dolphins Evolve Opposable Thumbs: "Oh, Shit," Says Humanity

  1. Their headline after 9/11 was HOLY FUCKING SHIT!

    I'd like to write for them, but don't really know how to achieve that goal.

  4. LMAO, Todd. I definitely think you should investigate writing for them. It would be a match made in the fluffy angel crotch of heaven.

    Kalani,
    Girl I cackle with the best of 'em. Snort occasionally, too.

    Clack,
    I thought you'd like that. I had you in mind for this post.

  6. I've never read The Onion. I've heard of it, though.

    This is great stuff. Is it a paper? A magazine?
