Mums often asks us (the kids, and Dad), in response to our often (seemingly) random blurts about TV, news stories, etc., “How does your mind work?! How on earth did you come up with that?”
I’m not attempting to answer those questions, but here are my reactions to some headlines that showed up on my Google homepage today.
Families of Egyptian Ferry Victims Riot
I thought that said the “families…rot.” And I was thinking, well, if that’s occurring, why doesn’t someone move the bodies? And why did the families of the victims die anyway? Then I realized it said “riot,” and I thought, “Well, that’s really not as intriguing.”
Cartoon Protests Turn Deadly
I’m picturing Daffy Duck lunging murderously toward Bugs Bunny, outraged over–I don’t know–Cartoon Duck Union Wages and Labor Rights… and Yosemite Sam actually getting someone with that dynamite he’s so often failed with. When I clicked on the actual article, I was disappointed to learn that there were neither cartoons protesting nor cartoons acting deadly.
Busta Rhymes’ Bodyguard Killed
He was either apparently very good at his job… or very bad at it.
Bush Budget Proposes New Fannie Regulator
Hee. I don’t care that it makes me, like, six years old. “Fannie regulator” is funny.
Danes Feel Threatened
I thought this said, “Danes Feels Threatened,” and clicked on it immediately, expecting an article about some imminent danger faced by lovely actress Claire Danes. When I noticed that the “Danes” in this article related to Danish people… well, I lost interest. Unless it turns out that Claire Danes is danish. Then I might be interested. What can I say: my news interests are as shallow as Kristin Cavallari.*
