Relatives Warded Off by News of “Dry Thanksgiving”

circuskiller Health, Holidays, Local News, News, Thanksgiving , , , , ,

Over half a dozen relatives from the Elkins family changed their Thanksgiving plans when Loraine Elkins, host of this year’s Thanksgiving dinner, announced in a mass email last Friday that there would be no alcohol allowed during the holiday.  The news came as a shock to the rest of the Elkins family since drinking has been described as the family’s pastime.

Donald Elkins, Loraine’s brother-in-law, was upset by the new mandate.  “I don’t know who she thinks she is,” said Donald, “but everyone agrees with me that it’s unacceptable.  Samuel Adams himself used beer to help the Pilgrims bond with the Indians, that’s a fact.  She’s declared a war on Thanksgiving.”

Other family members remain confused about the email, including Loraine’s own husband Rick Elkins.  “I don’t get what’s such a big deal about alcohol,” Rick told us, slurring his words and waving around a pitcher of Jack Daniels at 9:45 in the morning.  “It’s a disgrace to Thanksgiving, it’s a disgrace to America, and also I can’t get it up anymore.”

Also offended was Loraine’s father-in-law, Jed Elkins, who received the email in his hospital room where he was being treated for cirrhosis of the liver.  “This is how it starts,” said Elkins.  “First they take away your booze, then they take away your sports, and before you know it she’s taking your kids.  If ever there was a time to flee, it’s now.”

Loraine Elkins has yet to follow up on her original email, but it seems likely that she will be spending this Thanksgiving alone.

Artsy Burglar Compelled to Rearrange Unorganized Home

circuskiller Fashion, Local News, News , , , ,

A family in Washington State was surprised to come home from their Disney Land vacation over the weekend and find their house broken into and de-cluttered. The burglar, Mitchell Mathesen, was caught early this morning and claimed he felt obligated to give the family a home makeover upon seeing the messy state the home was in.

“The feng shui was way off.” Mathesen said in his confession to the police. “I don’t understand how anyone could live like that. How could they possibly entertain guests on good conscience?”

Mathesen had intended to steal jewelry, cash and whatever valuable electronics he could carry. Shortly after breaking into the Walsch’s home, however, he abandoned his original goal and made redecorating his “project of the day.”

The Walsch family, meanwhile, are trying to treat the break-in positively. “I don’t think I like what he did with the furniture arrangement in the living room,” said mother Cheryl Walsch, “but the kids’ bedrooms have never looked nicer. I haven’t seen their clothes folded and put away so neatly in years.”

Mathesen could face up to 8 years in prison for breaking & entering and styling under the influence.

Area Man Just Now Taking Down Last Year’s Christmas Decorations

circuskiller Christmas, Holidays, Local News, News , , , , , , ,

Richard Murano, a 42-year-old architectural consultant in Harfolk, Delaware, has finally gotten around to removing his Christmas decorations from the previous year.

Richard reports that there were many reasons for the 11-month delay, which was verified by members of the Murano household who often heard Richard remark how it was “too cold out,” or how his “work pants needed to be cleaned first.”

The husband and father of three’s apparent refusal to shed his home of yuletide spirit was met with confusion by his neighbors. Many assumed the Muranos were just more religious than was originally believed, whereas others thought that Richard was confused himself, thinking that Richard believed Christmas lasted 12 months and not 12 days. The rest of the Murano family learned to embrace their new surroundings – this past October they hosted the most holly jolly Halloween party in recorded history.

Richard finally began to dismantle the lights on his house and nativity scene in his front yard over the weekend. He claims to have finally found some time to do so because baseball is over and his boycott of the NFL since the Ray Rice scandal is still going strong.

Local Teen Unshaken Upon Discovering Extent of Father’s Racism

circuskiller Local News, News , , , ,

Jeremy Unger, a 16-year-old Michigan teen, reported today that he is finally coming to terms with his father’s racism, but also that he’s “totally fine with it.”

Jeremy says he’s noticed the signs for a while, he just didn’t recognize them. Often he would take note of his father’s offhanded, passive-aggressive insults towards waiters, electricians and other service people, but Jeremy realized recently that his father would never make these remarks towards white people.

When his suspicions arose, Jeremy approached several people who were close to his father, Thomas Unger. Several of Thomas’s work friends, Jeremy found, had come to the same conclusion, and in fact the stories that Jeremy gathered on his father’s workplace mannerisms would suggest that Thomas Unger is also sexist and anti-Semitic. Jeremy approached his father’s brother Dylan Unger, who when asked if he suspected that Thomas might be a racist, said, “no shit.”

In the last week, Jeremy has decided that he’s completely comfortable with this new information about his father. “Well yeah, it’s kinda weird,” says Jeremy, “but I mean lots of people do worse things. And it’s not like my dad would try to hurt anyone or something.” When asked if he himself was a racist, Jeremy replied with a resounding, “I don’t know, maybe.”

Facially Divided America Demands First Bearded President

circuskiller Local News, News, Politics , , , , , , ,

Facial discrimination reached a peak in Grove City, Louisiana over the weekend when riots erupted across the town. The riots began as peaceful protests but became militant when local police fired shaving foam cannons at the protesters to try and get them to disperse.

Oppression of the unkempt is not a new concept in the United States, and beard supporters like Garth Mellen, a custom shirt designer from Brooklyn, say that the next step for the nation is to elect a bearded president.

“The discrimination won’t end until we get our own people in the White House to watch out for us,” Mellen told us as he attempted to remove Dorito crumbs from his 3-incher. “We claim to live in a progressive society but I still see men with mustaches getting facial remarks as they walk down the street.

Some say that things are moving in the right direction, pointing to Democratic representative Brenda Longfellow (Vermont) who was voted into congress as the first bearded congresswoman in US history. Longfellow was elected on a platform of reduced government spending and increased taxation on all razors and sanitary wax.

Member of Friend Group Mistakenly Winds Up at Wrong TGI Friday’s, Becomes Joke of the Evening

circuskiller Local News, News , , ,

Darian Wynters, a 32 year old accountant from Massachusetts, received relentless scrutiny from his friends last night when he showed up for dinner at the incorrect TGI Friday’s. Darian spent much of the night and this morning trying to recover from the incident, completely certain that he’ll never live it down as long as he lives.

The confusion started when Tanya, a member of the friend group, posted in the group’s Facebook Messenger thread a few hours beforehand that she wanted to meet at the Friday’s on 5th instead of the one they usually frequent on Riverside Drive. This is because the one on 5th is closer to Tanya’s house and she didn’t want to leave her baby home with a sitter for too long. This struck controversy within the group, and the rest of the afternoon saw a heated debate on the thread over the pros and cons of switching venues.

Finally, Alex laid down the law with a group text that read “guys seroiusly im going to riverside join me if u want too,” which Darian did not receive because frequent weighing in on the Facebook conversation had drained the battery on his phone. He showed up at the one on 5th and waited for thirty-five minutes before trying Riverside, and found that he had missed out on most of the night.

The rest of the evening was spent making fun of Darian. Darian smiled and laughed along with his friends, but each crack at his mistake weakened his resolve. The ordeal was particularly embarrassing for Darian when he found out that in his absence, Alex had bonded with Christina’s friend Miranda, who has been the focus of Darian’s romantic hopes in recent weeks.

Earlier this morning, Darian called the police to report the incident but nobody took him seriously. He has begun writing a book about the shocking act of depravity, titled “Me, My Quesadilla Sampler and I: A Survival Story.”

Toilet Rental Business Sweeps Nation

circuskiller Business, Local News, News , , ,

With the success of Airbnb, opportunists and capitalists across the United States have sought to get into the rental business, and a new private company has emerged in recent months that satisfy this American dream of making money without doing much.

“Globojohn” is a website and social networking service that allows users to register their commodes for rental use to anyone seeking to relieve his or herself on the go. The service was established in August, and has so far been used over 4.1 million times.

The company was founded by Pennsylvania native Dennis Catano who got the idea while sitting on the can himself. Thinking that spending 40 minutes on the toilet daily was a poor investment, Catano began renting out his own toilet to neighbors and passing vagrants, casually inviting all he encountered to “plop a squat on his pot” sometime. His small business became a success largely because his home is located half a block from a Chipotle.

Catano opened up his business to other renters shortly afterwards, creating a website through which Americans can register their toilets and find a globojohn in their area. By becoming a member of the Globojohn website, users can build up “poop points” to earn discounts and rewards for future visits. Users of the site can also log on to their profiles to write reviews of globojohns they’ve visited, and rank them on a scale from 1 to 5 wipes.

Local Fire Department Desperately Tries to Remove James Cameron from Area Man’s Pool

circuskiller Celebrities, Local News, News , , , ,

James Cameron, famous Hollywood filmmaker and oceanographer, launched a watery expedition on Tuesday into a Georgia man’s in-ground pool without the man’s permission. Cameron had intended for this latest endeavor to take place in the ocean, but chose a random person’s backyard pool upon realizing that he’s run out of ocean to explore.

Hank Driscol, the pool’s owner, discovered Cameron early Wednesday morning when Avatar director Cameron briefly came up for air. Driscol confronted Cameron, but the filmmaker refused to leave Driscol’s pool until he discovers a treasure of some sort. It was at this point that Driscol called emergency services.

One day later, the local fire department was unsuccessful in removing Cameron from the pool. Authorities first began trying to reason with Cameron, but could not come up with the awe and wonder of genuine discovery that the film director seeks. Authorities then threatened to drain the pool, but Cameron countered by threatening to recite lines from Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.

Since then both parties have been in a stalemate, but it’s likely that Driscol and everyone else involved will just wait for Cameron to tucker himself out.

Local Bus Driver Caught Operating Normal-Size Car, License Suspended

circuskiller Local News, News , , , ,

Emilio Oher, a 46-year-old school bus driver in Connecticut, was arrested yesterday evening after being pulled over for speeding in a ’97 Ford Taurus. Authorities impounded the vehicle and suspended Oher’s license upon discovering the man’s true profession.

Oher claims the vehicle belongs to him, but local police have their doubts since the car isn’t long and yellow. Officers have been trying to locate the Ford’s real owner, but so far no one has come forward. If convicted, this will be the third offense for Oher who was indicted twice before for similar offenses.

Of course the scandal has concerned many parents in the area, who wonder how such a deviant could be employed by the school system. At the behest of the parents, an investigation is underway to determine if any other drivers in the school district have ever driven ordinary-sized automobiles in the past.

Man Shamelessly Throws Back Entire Tube of M&M’s Minis in Public

circuskiller Local News, News , ,

Area man Arthur Genero was seen in a Minnesota park last weekend, chugging a tube of M&M’s Minis as though it were a normal, daily routine. Fellow park-goers were shocked by Genero’s display of apathy towards his own self-image, and were quick to condemn the 45-year-old office jockey, who has clearly been letting himself go.

“It’s despicable what has become acceptable in our society,” said local elder Maureen Shanahan. “I used to take my granddaughters to that park every weekend. Now I don’t know what to do, I can’t imagine exposing them to such depravity.”

Word of the affair spread quickly in this small, unnamed Minnesota town, and Genero has been met with angered and confused looks ever since.

“I always knew there was something wrong with him,” says Jim Henkman, a coworker of Genero’s. “I think we all did. But no one thought he could be capable of this. No one.”

Genero refused to comment on the matter, which is good because I didn’t want to get a quote from him anyway. He’s revolting.
