I thought it might be fun to collect funny weird news items we come across. Like this.
And this.

As someone originally from Ohio I take great offense to how stunningly accurate their depictions are.
(Though I will say I’ve never been in a situation that was so gun heavy. But the moment I hear “LARPing as Americans” all I can think is “bang bang bang shoot 'em up!” so I’ll allow it.)

They literally built a trailer park! I’m very impressed.

No they go out of their way for realism. They make it as much like Ohio as they can.

One of the best news of the weird was when a hospital in Australia ran out of medicinal alcohol (yes, it is a thing) for a patient. Well, since it is a rare order item, they had to go to the local liquor store and buy Vodka that was pretty much spot on. Needless to say they had to have a lot of documentation once the auditors caught it to make sure that it was deemed a necessary medical expense.

A little bit in love with the Polish folks LARPing as American trailer trash. However this makes me have to contemplate the fact that I never thought about if other countries had trailer parks or whether that was a uniquely American thing…

Hrrrrm… the way I see it, if their petitioning succeeds then Pringles owes the orb weavers some substantial endorsement money.

I was okay with the old “spring-loaded fake snakes inside a fake can of peanut brittle” prank, but I can’t go with spring-loaded fake spiders inside a fake can of Pringles.

Yeah I don’t care for peanut brittle but if my Pringles can had spiders in it instead of Pringles as advertised, I would be BIG mad
