Davenport, IA – Telling him it’s “very natural,” a local father assured his son that the Chuck E. Cheese band nightmares he’s been experiencing are just a part of growing up. “Your body is changing,” the father said in a private moment. “And this is something that happens.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – Saying it’s “no big deal” and “everyone should just lighten up,” local pizza lover Adam Kenrow defended his support for the “five-hour rule” today. “It’s great, man,” Kenrow said. “Like, if you’re firing up the old Genesis and a slice falls off your plate and hits the floor and you don’t see it for two, three hours, what’s the big deal? It’s all good.” According to Kenrow, not only were full pieces in play, but also stray pepperonis, sausages and “big gobs of cheese.” When pressed for further comment, Kenrow reasoned, “God made dirt. Why should it hurt?”…

TOMMY’S PIZZA RESTAURANT – Saying it was “just a matter of time,” a local breadstick proclaimed that its status as an entrée was imminent. “Look, Americans will eat anything and call it a meal, right? For fuck’s sake, they’ll drink a smoothie and say it’s lunch,” the breadstick said. “So for a guy like me, all crisp and golden-brown with five, count ’em five, sauce options – there’s just no question.” The breadstick stressed that with the advent of novelties like bread twisters and cheesy bread, momentum was clearly in its favor. “They’re twisting me, they’re throwing cheese on top,…

WASHINGTON – Saying it was “long overdue,” the Berenstain Bears visited the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum this week. “My grandfather died in Auschwitz,” Papa Bear said. “And my grandmother and mother barely got out of Poland alive. I…I really should have come here a long time ago.” Walking past thousands of pictures of victims and peering inside replicas of holding cells and boxcars, tears flowed freely for the family.

RESTON, Va. – Local band Semen Transfusion play their music fast, but ever since their drummer was bitten by a radioactive cheetah, their tempo has been so extreme that they’ve broken a barrier considered by many scientists to be next to impossible. “I love playing aggressive, insane music, but ever since he went on that safari, we can’t have band practice without him ending up in a different part of the multiverse,” says frontman Ball Torture, regarding Hades Stomper, his band’s quick-handed drummer. After pounding the skins faster than the speed of light, Hades Stomper, of previous local favorites Skin Carafe,…

New York – Following months of allegations about his financial dealings in Iraq and Afghanistan, Oliver “Daddy” Warbucks has been found guilty of treason for war profiteering. Documents leaked by Edward Snowden initially implicated Warbucks, 52, in numerous “arms for oil” deals during the Iraq conflict.

Prosecutors have sought life imprisonment in the case, though the judge has yet to rule on it. Reports indicate Warbucks plans to appeal. However, one Washington insider stated the…
