I like to neatly stack my old newspapers into four- to six-foot towers all around my house and never, ever throw them away. Sort like a crazy cat lady, but with newspapers instead of cats. (Please ignore this comment, everyone. Though I do actually rather enjoy stacking newspapers, this is mostly just a test comment left at Danny’s suggestion to see if I’m finally out of Akismet’s doghouse.)

“What? I had no idea newspapers were made of paper!”

My favorite is obviously the hooligan-beating truncheon. Nice post. Some levity is sorely needed in these turbulent times.

@Matt thanks for that. Now I know how to get some footwear when we all lose our jobs.

@John, that was totally you! Love the Mel Brooks clip.

Thanks for the thanks, but that was Rick or Roger on Bourne. My movie reference is more old school — from Mel Brooks’ High Anxiety — Bellboy delivering paper to man in shower, then starts stabbing him, a la Psycho while screaming “Here’s your paper! Here’s your paper!” Frames showing black ink running down the drain…someone appropriate imagery for these times? JC

OK so I had to chime in on this one. In High School I worked for a TV Show called Donna’s Day. One of the crafts I helped them create was shoes of of newspaper. Here are the instructions: http://www.donnasday.com/act2/episode16_seg1.html
