Old news

[davidn]

I used to collect these from the local newspaper (back when news was something you read on paper and then wrapped your fish and chips in), and I just remembered that I still had four sheets of them that used to be mounted to my wall. It's surprising how little effort you have to put in to find a slip of the keyboard giving something an unintended double meaning - or just a story that shows what a happening place the town I grew up in was.

(The last one is retouched, and rather less convincingly than I had thought at the time - some of these have become completely unreadable)

The transport meeting one makes me think of,

"Psychic fair cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances."

“The constrained passages to the south, east, west, and north look as if they might spell trouble. Or perhaps they simply spell ‘SEWN.’”

"Local fishing crew brings record-breaking cases of crabs to village."

I'll deck your halls with cgvuxog ypugy... but then I'm very bad at innuendo.

Final Fantasy 8 of 1.6 million is too perfect, and irradiated-fox-hunting sounds like the national sport of the Fallout universe. :P
