Apartment Set Up To Create Illusion Of
Well-Rounded Life

RIVERSIDE, CA—Hoping to trick visitors into thinking he leads a well-rounded life filled with diverse interests, local resident Andrew Higgins has outfitted his apartment with such accoutrements as a framed La Dolce Vita poster, an acoustic guitar, and a magazine rack filled with back issues of The New Yorker. "I'm clearly into some pretty cool stuff," said Higgins, 26, who devotes 95 percent of his evenings to <b>playing his Nintendo GameCube</b> or patronizing a local topless bar. "This apartment is indistinguishable from that of a true Renaissance man."

:lol:

The Onion is run by a bunch of MS fanboys.

Okay, I have to thank Gallant for posting that link to the Solid Snake article. I haven't had a laugh like that in a long time. We're talking tears. After I read it, I immediately re-read it and still burst into continuous laughter. Snake ruminates, then perishes. So predictable...yet so damn funny!

Yep....those were the good old days. Always something good to hang on the door-room wall. One of my personal favorite memories was of a pizza coupon for Uncle Jim's Pizza (since the Onion was then a free newspaper it survived by running coupons). It read:

Free F**ckin' Shrooms, All F**ckin' Week!


The Onion was then, and remains the finest journalistic institution in America.

LOL. My favorites were the "Drunk of the week" column. Man, they had some good ones :)

Those guys threatened to sue me for having the domain "youaredumb.com" saying they owned the rights or something. Those were the days...

"You are Dumb."

My favorite T-shirt quote (next to my "Let the F**cking Begin!" shirt....also from The Onion.)

I obviously know what the onion is, but never understood why they threatened to sue me. (Morons) What it a slogon or something they had?

Now, if they had some legal ground to stand on at the time they may have hired a real lawyer that would have explained the situation. Instead they sent me an email from their supposed lawyer threating me to give it up right away.

So whats the deal with "You are dumb."?

It's a slogan on a T-shirt they've been selling for years (back when they were a Madison weekly newspaper). Go check out their website, it's in the store.
