LOCAL Onion Stories (yes, another damn Onion thread)

OK, so I’ve finally been turned on to “The Onion.” I’ve been reading their website and browsed through “Our Dumb Century” at the bookstore yesterday. In an effort to be somewhat different from the other “Onion” threads, I’m starting one where the Teeming Millions can submit Onion headlines for their home states (or provinces, countries, etc.). Granted, only about three other posters will understand all of mine, but that never stopped me before.
