Fun With Word Fridge Magnets

I know some people have magnetic poetry sets on their refrigerators. You have these small magnets, each with a word or piece of punctuation, and you arrange them or re-arrange them in any order in the hopes of creating some poems or sonnets or what have you.

A recent purchase I made is similar to this activity. Instead of buying a poetry kit, I bought The Onion's Magnetic Headline Kit. For those unfamiliar, The Onion is a satirical newspaper & web site - quite accurate in lampoonery and quite hilarious to many readers, including this one. And I thought what better way to help me snap out of a momentary lapse of creative reason than to play with fridge magnets.

Here are some of the headlines I have proudly displayed, right next to my 2001 Dodgers Magnetic Schedule & Domino's Pizza Phone Number Magnet:

Homosexual CEO Allocates Bacon To St. Louis

Tia Carrere's Giant Breasts Under Pressure

Secretary Scheduled To Speak About Green Bay Packers T-Shirt

Kazakhstan Woman Introduces Sexier Cheddar

College Committee Cracks, Cracks Down on Crack House

The Golden Girls Sent To Congress

$12 Condom Purchased At Gas Station

Horrifying Lesbian Mop Explodes

Assistant Manager Has First Ever Sandwich

Tensions Mount In A**hole

....and many more I can't remember at the moment. Can't you just sense the hilarity ensuing?
