The time they posted the totally true story about Arnold winning the California recall.

That was pretty funny.

The 'Holy Fucking Shit' headline. It was the first they did after 9/11. It was one of the first times we could shakily laugh about it. Thank you, The Onion, for restoring some humor in those dark days.

Pretty much anything from Our Dumb Century. If you like The Onion, you MUST buy that book.

i'm not much into the Onion, but i loved that article about the woman fruitlessly trying to teach her mother how to use e-mail... it's pretty damn accurate. we're still trying to teach my poor grandmother to play free cell and solitaire.

I can't find it in the archives of the Onion, but I had it saved on my PC....

Congress Adds 'All Your Base Are Belong To Us' Amendment To Bankruptcy Bill

WASHINGTON, DC-- Seeking to increase fiscal accountability among citizens who have no chance to survive make their time, the House of Representatives added an "All Your Base Are Belong To Us" amendment Monday to H.R. 333, the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2001. "What you say!!!" shouted the bill's sponsor, Rep. George Gekas (R-PA), following the amendment's approval. "This bill will not only make debt-ridden Americans more accountable, but it has the added benefit of taking off every 'zig' for great justice." Opponents of the amendment protested that it would potentially set up U.S. the bomb.

I'm still teaching my mother how to Google. She uses a computer all day at work, but is stumped by the internet. It's hilarious, and rage-inspiring all at the same time. Yay.

" AREA MAN GOES AND GETS HIMSELF HIT BY A GODDAMN BUS " was great...

but "http://www.electromate.com/news/?c=wackynews&wackynews_id=10018" was a classic...

And who could forget "ACLU Defends Neo-Nazi Group's Right to Burn Down Its Headquarters?"

that's terrific... just great.... i honestly wish i could see some tragic local newspaper articles with as many brilliant colloquialisms.

"area girl gets her ass killed by some crazy, fucked-up, mega-pissed ex-boyfriend or something."
