Al Capone finds No Evidence of Massacre in Clark Street Garage
By Jack Rabbit

Chicago -- South Side businessman Al Capone said he has personally investigated the incident yesterday in the garage at 2122 N. Clark Street in the Lincoln Park neighborhood in the North Side and finds that there is no evidence of a massacre.

Mr. Capone cites the statement of Mr. Frank Gusenberg, who told police "nobody shot me." A short time later, Gusenberg died from a sudden case of lead poisoning and .45 caliber hemorrhaging apparently caused by projectiles flying from a Thompson machine gun. Six other men were already dead at the scene with similar symptoms when police arrived at the garage yesterday afternoon.

      CNN: Ancient boy's skeleton sparks evolution debate
"I did not evolve from Turkana Boy or anything like it," says Bishop Boniface Adoyo, head of Kenya's 35 evangelical denominations, which he claims have 10 million followers. "These sorts of silly views are killing our faith."

response #21 by originalpckelly:

      Hey Bishop, that's not the only thing killing the faith, the big man has bad customer service...
First of all, whenever I call for room service, he never sends me any food. I specifically asked for fried manna, and I haven't seen any yet.

Secondly, his customer service line only picks up half the time, and then I have to get down on my knees to beg for service. This is no way to run a universe.

Not only that, but I've never even seen the guy, not even once. You'd think the owner would pop in on the business every once and a while, but nope, not him. The best he could do was send his long-haired hippie stoner son, and that guy, well we won't even go there.

I'm telling you right now, God better get out of the universe business. Either that, or the investors should fire him and bring in new management.

      Open Question - How Many NeoCons Does it Take to Change a Light Bulb?...

response #5 by Eugene:

      None, but they'll happily send 21,500 troops to keep the old bulb going.
Give the old lightbulb a chance to complete its mission. Pulling it out
invites catastrophe. If you are for changing the lightbulb, you don't
realize the stakes.

      That's surprising.
Bush is just a heartbeat away from being president. They would have to tell him sometime if something happened to Uncle Dick, wouldn't they?

21. The Oscar joke was first posted

on the 25th of February, by american stranger.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=389&topic_id=288793

I think that american stranger deserves the credit or to share credit.

:hi:

[JeffR]

22. Thanks

Just verified your link & sho' nuff, it precedes Ian's. This line got viral in a hurry, and was used several times on DU. Ian's post is as far back as I had traced.

american stranger will get credit, though in Ian's defence it may be a case of great minds thinking alike, so he'll get co-credit.

Thanks for your response!

[merh]

23. Since you will share the glory with both posters, I will then

cast my vote for the Oscar DUzy! It was friggin funny. :rofl:

thank you :hi:
