For most of those newspaper stories, there is nothing to discuss-- unless "Hahahahah I found that funny too" is deathless prose. It's a place to skim stories from the hilarious to the sublime, and back to hilarious, gathered from a welath of sources we'd otherwise miss. It's almost live folklore!

It's especially a good thread to curl up with when there's nothing else worthy of attention going on (IRL or at Mudcat), and a bit of cheer or inspiration is welcome.
