I just...just...


I am not making this up!

1. The story directly links to the Iguanas falling out of trees last night.

It was too cold.

4. Campaign stunt

2. Reality became farce four years ago. nt

5. It used to be funny when people thought

Onion stories were real. Now, I am far less likely to fault someone for it.

6. Often I have to look twice to make sure I am not reading The Onion. nt

3. The only people who need to fear lizard people

are the Fly People.

A certain vice-president comes to mind.

7. "The Fly People"

Wanna start a new conspiracy?

10. Sure, why not

The more I think about this, the more fitting Fly People seems.

- Fly People gravitate toward piles of reeking fecal matter.

- A MAGAt is a juvenile Fly.

- Beelzebub is the Lord of the Flies - actual translation of the name.

I read in the Washington Post today that the Fly People are coming to DC on Jan. 6 to wallow in excrement and "be wild."

It would be nice if law enforcement provided SWAT teams.

8. In 2016, The Onion made a major shift in editorial policy and started printing only factual stories.

Nobody noticed.
