Many people last week were confused by this headline:
All Blacks survive US scare to set up Wales date – The US may still be a little racist, but come on…ALL BLACKS?
It referred to a rugby match with the New Zealand "All Blacks" (they wear all black uniforms) vrs. the USA with the winner to play the next match against Wales.
"Why baggage should always be left behind in a plane crash"
ReplyDeleteLeave my souvenir black velvet picture of Elvis I got at Graceland? No way, baby!
okay, i'll try the impala.
ReplyDeleteand thanks for the clarification from last week. go fishducky!
What's scary is I totally understood the "All Blacks" headline and I don't follow rugby.
ReplyDeleteI'm goin' with Spider Bites.
As Maxwell Smart would say, "Would you believe I have actually NO idea?" You got me, Joe!!
ReplyDeleteNot that I'm any good at this, but the one about left-handed people doesn't sound plausible.
ReplyDeleteMy guess is Possible significant development in 1960s Boston strangler case, report says
ReplyDeleteOkay, I'll take the New Jersey plane-jumping survivor as fake. I hope he celebrated with a dirty-water drink that he thought was actual alcohol.
ReplyDeleteI am going with the New Jersey mana jumps from the plane as the fake. But the President Obama with the broccoli is temping to pick. But Bush one said he did not like it so I can see President Obama saying it.
ReplyDeleteI'm going with the broccoli one. It's just too convenient a counter to the senior President Bush's declaration that he hated it.
