Another goofy headline

[slobake]

Saw this one on Yahoo today:

Iowa woman fatally shot by cop in front of toddler to receive $2 million settlement

I wonder how she is going to spend that two million?

What is a toddler going to do with $2 million?

Hookers and blow. Can't believe no one beat me to this...

Best headline ever!

 

[Oddly]

Ah well, if we're talking headlines, I think this one is simply exquisite...

I could explain it, and may have to, given the overwhelmingly American readership here, but I won't just yet.

Yeah, that "kinda" looks like English?

I don't get it.

Yeah, that "kinda" looks like English?

I don't get it.

Even though the sound of it is something quite atrocious?

You need a "Spoon full of sugar."

Geez, two fingers, I gave you the answer!

I’m rather fond of the 70s classic “Nixon Can’t Stand Pat” but there are many ...worthy... contenders.

He never had a nanny that floated around with her umbrella, come to think of it, neither have I.

Right, the Mary Poppins bit has been covered, I think. The reference is to a soccer game in Scotland.
Inverness Caledonian Thistle beat Glasgow Celtic 3-1, a bit of a surprise, apparently, and a dream come true for some headline writer.

I've always kinda liked this one...

I got the Mary Poppins reference, of course. But only in the sense of poetic cadence. The words strung together, however, don't make any sense (to me).

What's a "Super Caley"?

I think it was an attempt at clever that was a bit of a stretch.

Now, if "Super Caley" is actually a commonly-used phrase over there, I'll stand corrected.

I had a few headlines I submitted to The Tonight Show appear on Jay Leno's "Headlines" segment.
