Saddest imaginable local paper headline.
Unless of course it was the dolphins causing the carnage, stomping ashore in giant robot suits they had painstakingly constructed from kelp and pebbles, playing militaristic (yet oddly soothing) dolphin music whilst rending all the annoying humans limb from limb.
That would be fine.
I will now an image of dolphins walking around in Sig. Weaver's power-suit from Aliens whenever I visit the abandoned spaceport that is my beach.
ReplyDeleteThat's a good headline. Doesn't quite beat the Banbury Guardian's "Archbishop backs Nuns in Pub Fight," but, still, a good 'un.
ReplyDeleteAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH! *wipes eyes* oh thank you! i needed that
ReplyDelete*Borrows Patroclus's Sarcasmometer*
ReplyDeleteResults inconclusive.
I was wondering where that had got to.
ReplyDeleteThere's a "Simpsons" episode which has a similar storyline.
ReplyDeleteHmm. Word verification : "Bnjhty". Sounds like an indian comic for girls.
*checks Patroclus's statement for sarcasm* Results inconclusive. This thing doesn't really work, does it? The manual's singularly unhelpful as well, tending towards aggression...
ReplyDeleteAlso, Lee, that is a cracking headline, almost up their with my friend The Mighty Evans's 'Spate of Wedgings Resumes!' headline. See also: The Bushes: What's Going On In Them? The answer to which was never made lost. It's like being in Lost, living down here.

'never made lost.' Did you mean never made clear? Got a bit ahead of yourself, and ran into your next sentence?
ReplyDeleteOh. Withdraw that implied criticism. I see I missed a whole word out of my earlier comment, and you kindly failed to say anything. Tish.
Tish indeed. Explain 'abandoned spaceport' please, I like the sound of it.
ReplyDeleteAlso, you're quite right D, mt syntax went a bit weird there...
ReplyDelete'Abandoned spaceport' - is explained in my blog entry for Monday (which starts with a reference to you/rubbing sand in my head).
ReplyDeleteI tore these two out of newspapers myself, so I know they're real:
ReplyDelete"Dope case jockey in baby-oil sex romp" (headline, story, and mental image all in one)
"Gay bishops could tear church apart" (with their BIG GAY HANDS)
Ooooh, big gay hands! I'm now laughing my arse off like a nutter in an internet cafe in Bangkok, so thanks for that. Repeats to self as calming mantra "my dog is dead, my dog is dead". Nope, still pretty much cracking up.
ReplyDeleteI didn't have my specs on when I read the heading and thought it said 'Dolphin Carriage' (if you squint you'll see how it happened). So I already had an image of Jane Austen-esque, bonneted dolphins sitting primly in a phaeton or a barouche when I read the post. Which made the subsequent Asbo behaviour even more surreal.
ReplyDeleteI now want to run down to the United Reform church a few doors down and shout 'LOOK OUT, GAY BISHOPS!'
ReplyDeleteBut the reverend there is friends with my mum, so I'd probably get told off.
Cello: double points for 'barouche'
Readers, do you have either funny headlines or posh words for carriages? If so, send them in.
