No, the title is not a random collection of words but an actual news headline that fairly reflects the content of the article. You simply can't make this stuff up:

Quote:

Spills of sealant, blue-cheese dressing and other food products made it into a canal about 1.5 kilometres from the north shore of the Salton Sea, California's largest lake, hazardous materials specialist Robert Becker said.

Hazmat suit with your salad, sir?

Near the Salton Sea again^*? I think there must be something living down there with a thing for trains. Perhaps it decided it's a good time to get something besides water in there, just for fun.

*(I know, I know, once every 100 years is probably a pretty good record)

Your link seems to be broken.

So...any word on when a train full of wings will be coming through?

It can't be as bad as this.

It's the Giant Snails living in the Salton Sea. Bleu Cheese sauce goes well with SCUBA diver.

I'm on a low-Salton diet, but what the fuck...pass the Buffalo wings!

I can't find a link to the bleu cheese disaster, but here's another recent food catastrophe.

Imagine the fun the reporter had composing that lead.

True, but this would give one pause driving down the interstate, I'd think.

....And the oceans will run bleu with cheese. And the wings shall be of giants, with planks of celery.

There's a spot along the road where I usually ride my bike where someone once spilled like a five-gallon drum of some sort of industrial strength blue dye. That blue splotch was there for years ...
