I came across this sentence in a news story today, linked from here:
There’s not much more to the story, but then again there dosen’t have to be, does there? I think that gives a pretty complete picture of what was going on, don’t you?
Anyone else have any “single sentences” that pretty much say all that needs to be said?
From the Arcata, CA Police Log:
Tuesday, November 11 12:54 p.m. Possibly re-enacting a deleted scene from Tom Sawyer, adventurous youths pitched apples at passing cars in the 2200 block of Alliance Road.

“Woman gives birth to two-headed Elvis clone”
Don’t worry, I have it under control.
"Let the games begin… "
lieu likes things having to do with the butt.
You’re damned if you do, and damned if you don’t.
You can think whatever you want, just be careful what you say.
This one is actually two sentences, but I felt it was worthy of being mentioned here:
"A new hockey tournament proposes to skip the finer points of the high-speed sport to get straight to what its Canadian promoters say many fans secretly love best: the brawls. The ‘Battle of the Hockey Gladiators,’ planned for a new arena in Grand Forks, North Dakota, for early next September, will pit denizens of the penalty box at center ice, in full hockey gear, for two minutes of pure pummeling.
