I am a self-described message board lurker and I have picked up on many of the board meembers sense of humor. I was wondering if anyone read the Onion?? I think it quite possibly is the smartest thing out there. Favorite headlines or articles?? Check out the indie rock articles... they really hit the nail on the head.

I love the Onion. Favorite articles? Well, yeah the one about the Yo La Tengo concert is pretty good. For some reason, I also really like:

Boss' Dick Not Going to Suck Itself. [with photo of sour-faced businessman sitting at desk]

But really, there are too many great ones to name. Every week, they kill me.

Relevant: Prince, PT Anderson, Punk, Post-Punk, Purple, Party of Five, Peter Swanson, Peter Gabriel-led Genesis, "Peter Panic", Paul's Boutique, Potential Energy, Every Features MB member but me.

I, too, love The Onion...It used to be my homepage, but now this site holds that spot. The sense of humor on that site is just great.

I've been a fan of The Onion for about a year now. However, it wasn't until last week that I found something that made me pee my pants. Check out the Infographic for Keeping Kids Safe.

Those were all great ones... don't you sometimes wish that the headlines on the side were full articles. The tips for safe sex in Our Dumb Century... it's at the back of the book. The best one is "Avoid dipping genitals in HIV infected blood". Good advice I must say
