Loaded Gun Found in Toy Store Deemed Legal in Arizona

Loaded Gun Found in Toy Store Deemed Legal in Arizona

The head of the NRA, Wayne LaPierre, said, “The loaded gun, placed in that toy aisle after a pro-gun activist photo shoot, was on the second shelf…fairly high on the 2nd shelf, I might add. The weapon, a beauty by the way, was situated above the Fisher Price toys, precisely the age group we hope to start marketing to…well, once we get a few more like-minded Supreme Court Justices on the bench. Meanwhile, I am grateful Arizona is out in front on this issue. I am happy to say Arizona will continue to arm their 5-8 year olds.”

When asked what he thought about arming children who suffer from conduct, impulse or autistic disorders, LaPierre said, “Excellent point. This is precisely why we need to stay ahead of this problem. We need to keep normal republican children packing some serious heat. If we hadn’t sufficiently armed our children, the FAO Schwarz shootings and the Toys ‘R’ Us rampage would have been much, much worse. In order to save lives we need to gun down those irresponsible toddlers as fast as possible.”

Deceased Mime Appointed White House Press Secretary

Deceased Mime Appointed White House Press Secretary

Critics of the president feel this is yet another barrier and that the decision shows a disturbing lack of seriousness. Senator John McCain (R-AZ) voiced his objections today, “The Obama Administration ran for office on transparency and they are making a game of charades out of this important function.”

Obama responded to the Senator’s allegations with more of his patented-aloof-smugness (PAS). “It’s not going to be anything like charades,” said Obama. “This is going to be more like a professional version of charades. It’s simply part of my evolving position on the role and function of our Press Secretary. In the past, when I’ve tried to explain something honestly it gets misconstrued and spun to the point of absurdity. Thus Carney’s mandate to pretty much shut the fuck up. This is the next logical response to our nonsensical media. Sometimes decipherable syllables would slip out of Jay’s mouth and I won’t have any more of that. The American people deserve better.”

The White House is denying rumors that other candidates for the position ranged from Obama’s dog, Bo, to his teleprompter, Bo Bo, to even a Madame Tussauds’ replica of Helen Keller’s dog.

Ten Children Vanish During Jackson Cirque Du Soleil Performance

Ten Children Vanish During Jackson Cirque du Soleil Performance

Many involved with the show are blaming the spirit of Michael Jackson for the missing children. Jackson, who has yet to pay a single night’s admission, allegedly haunts the production night-after-night like a modern day Phantom of the Oprah. Yes, he’s reportedly bugging her too.

Michael Jackson’s phantasmal presence is only increasing on the set and many performers are blaming him for the disappearances.

One performer told The Discord, “He’s always whispering choreographic suggestions in my ear. It’s like, dude, move on to that big production in the sky already. It’s annoying as shit.”

Another nameless performer begged the question, “Why are children even allowed in Vegas? Shouldn’t there be some kind of an age limit for Sin City admissions? I don’t wear a lot of clothing on those trapeze if you follow. Look, if you bring your children to Mandalay Bay, show them the aquarium and get them the hell out of Dodge by sunset, otherwise please keep in mind their organs go for top dollar on eBay.”

Russian Rocket Falls Back to Earth Onto Putin Rival

Russian Rocket Falls Back to Earth onto Putin Rival

When criticized for the coincidence surrounding where and who the rocket struck, Putin said, “I know nuszink,” and went on to explain how much he loved the show Hogan’s Heroes as a child and how Schultz was always his favorite.

Then Putin told reporters, “This was a tragic setback for Russia and for mankind’s ongoing exploration via a more comfortable and color coordinated space station. Another such tragic event is scheduled to happen again next week in the face of my old friend Uri A. Deadman. You know who you are Uri, or should I say were.”

In an odd coincidence, Yankovich’s dog, Oykbuk may have been stolen moments before the accident by members of Putin’s Federal Security Service: Puppy Division.

“I may be a killer, but I’m not a monster,” said Putin.

Mysterious Crap Circles: Alien Messages or Intestinal Flu?

Mysterious Crap Circles: Alien Messages or Intestinal Flu?

Alliance, NE—An unprecedented and quite artistic wave of fecal designs are now dotting the midwestern landscape.  These titanic turds are part of an unexplained phenomenon known as ‘crap circles.’  Unsure of the precise cause, scientists have not ruled out extra terrestrial fecal matter (ETFM).  Local art communities describe the sacred mounds as Fart-Deco.  Could these be the same shitting stars locals are now spotting across the night sky with increasing irregularity?  A total of seventeen such post-intestinistic displays have thus far been discovered. Most of these circular poo piles (CPPs) are located in the corn fields surrounding Alliance, NE. 

Dr. Sterling Hogbein, of the Hogbein Institute & Lube, is calling these events Close Encounters of the Number 2 kind.  The aged archeologist believes the site’s proximity to Carhenge, a Stonehenge replica created from old cars, is no coincidence.

“Carhenge is an ancient structure that holds unknown energies,” said Hogbein of the 1987 constructed sculpture. “It’s also one of the few Midwestern tourist oddities that can be seen from space—er, well, very low space,” corrected Hogbein.  “This makes it a great intergalactic restroom of sorts.”

Hogbein posits that the deposits originate beyond our solar septic system and, perhaps, some alien race is aiming for Carhenge like a cosmic bull’s-eye.

“Regardless, it lends credence to Hawkins recent statements about avoiding contact with aliens,” said Hogbein.  “He, in particular, would have a hard time getting out of the way of one of these plummeting brown beauties.” 

This Day in History: Elias Issa Heads to Salem After Allegations Surface of Witchcraft

This Day in History: Jed Issa Heads to Salem after Allegations Surface of Witchcraft

Salem, MA—On this day in history in 1692, Elias Issa, the great-great-great-great grandfather of Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), climbed onto a long wagon train heading East. He braved the over 3,000 mile trek from Vista California to Salem, overcoming heat, anti-native American football slogans, and early liberal bias “just to hang some chicks.”

Elias Issa, then the head of the God-I-Still-Miss-the-Inquisition subcommittee, was a Puritan conservative investigator known for his harsh sentencing and B.O. Throughout his tenor Issa remained determined to bring young ladies, who often gave him bad thoughts at night before bedtime, to justice. He also investigated allegations of farmers abusing their sheep, who often gave him bad thoughts at night before bedtime.

Issa is credited with the successful prosecutions in Salem before turning his attention to a long line of heretical astronomers as well as some of those “fucking Quakers.”

Timber Wolf Mistakenly Reintroduced Into Mall of America

Timber Wolf Mistakenly Reintroduced Into Mall Of America

Bloomington, MN—In a failed attempt to repopulate an endangered member of the canis lupus species, environmental ecologist Ian Green is “deeply sorry” for the death toll and related injuries. Those responsible are calling this incident an “unfortunate oversight”.  After the release of 17-timber wolves into the largest mall in the United States the mayhem that ensued can only be described as chaos, as Thesaurus.com just crashed.

“The food court is a train wreck, but the YouTube video of one of the wolves trying to scale the escalator is worth all the carnage,” said one YouWitness.

“The ‘during business hours’ part turned out to be a real issue,” said one guard, “You see, we don’t even carry Tasers. We are issued Taser holsters, of course, which acts as a deterrent in certain situations. But this seemed to have no effect on the pack as they devoured our patrons.”

The head of mall security added, “The majority of our personnel have attended Taser school, but only a handful received diplomas, or completed the required coursework, or passed our drug screen. Many feel an online Taser school degree has yet to really generate the kind of Taser competency we expect here at the Mall of America, yet my men responded well, especially the dead ones.”

Bigfoot Subpoenaed to Testify on Benghazi

Many are also questioning Issa’s decision to order the New Jersey Devil to report to a hearing on the 14th.

“This is hypocrisy,” said White House spokesman, Jay Carney. “This is the same guy who refused to subpoena the New Jersey Devil to answer questions about Chris Christie’s Bridge-gate scandal, which would have made at least some sense. And to bother the NJ Devil when it has consistently honored the Pine Barren Peace Treaty of 1988 is the definition of insanity. What next? Are we going to schlep the Loch Ness Monster out of Scotland to field questions about Fast & Furious?”

Issa denies rumors he plans to track down Mothman to testify as well.

“That’s ridiculous. There hasn’t been any recent Mothman sightings in Libya,” said Issa. “Besides, I’ve been sending these subpoena notifications via Tweet, and this Mothman, if that is its real name, hasn’t even bothered to upload an image on its Twitter account. But I am not, at this time, prepared to rule out the Chupacabra, who not only tweets regularly but is likely sucking the blood from goats in this country illegally.”

Before Duty Secret Service Agents Must Blow Into TelePrompter

Before Duty Secret Service Agents Must Blow into TelePrompter

Washington—President Obama’s teleprompter has now been fitted with a Breathalyzer to assure each Secret Service agent’s blood alcohol level remains at or below that of Vice President Joe Biden’s. This new policy is the latest attempt by The White House to accomplish something before the midterms.

President Obama told reporters today, “I understand that boozing it up comes with the territory. I understand how, while on surveillance, it’s human nature to periodically vomit from the roof of the White House, and from time to time I myself have had to shake off the urge to urinate on FDR’s piano, but I will not allow this important function, which involves the safety of myself and my family, to devolve into a situation like…what was that name of that embassy in Libya that burned down?”

Republicans are looking to outsource the duty of protecting the president to either paroled white supremacists or known terror suspects, a move the President is calling “reckless and irresponsible.”

Obama later admitted he didn’t really listen to the republican’s proposal. “I just respond with some synonym of thoughtless. It’s worked out well so far.”

Colorado Annexes Nearby Circle-K’s

Colorado Annexes Nearby Circle-K's

Farmington, NM—In the aftermath of the celebrations of 4/20, Colorado fell dangerously low on snack foods. At 3PM the state’s Governor, John Hickenlooper, called a state of emergency by sending a frantic message to Washington, “Hey, like dude, like…heh, heh. FOOD!!”

The shortage became so acute that by early evening waves of Coloradans poured over the borders en masse, overwhelming convenient store snack aisles in adjacent states. By midnight dozens of Circle-Ks were held hostage to the throngs of munch-crazed hooligans.

“It was like a swarm of smelly hipster locust,” said a convenience store owner from nearby Springfield, “I was not initially opposed to this ‘freeing of the seed’ but now I wonder if it is too much of a good thing. I only escaped after turning the slushie machine on high. Those Rocky Mountain Hijackers are still watching the pretty colors spin.”

Next 4/20 many convenient stores surrounding Colorado plan to stock up on extra hemp dogs, roach chips, and ding bongs so this never happens again.
