Auditioning for The Onion
If and Only If
Only participate if you actually like The Onion and read it at least occasionally. I've sent them an unsolicited sample of my writing a time or two - no employment offers forthcoming ...yet. What follows are headlines for prospective stories that I've come up with. Pick one, or more, that you would most like to see turned into a complete story, either because it struck your funny bone or holds some promise, in your esteem. Thanks much.

That's all, y'all. Leave your preference in the comments section below if anything struck your fancy. Final disclaimer: These are all original ideas, so if something similar has already ran that I didn't catch, it's my unintentional error. The "Obama Demonic" headline is admittedly prompted by a separate story I saw in The Onion. The other ideas are from my cabasa, and framed in typical headline style TO uses.
