>>Remember the Nobel Peace Prize day on FR?
Um, not to butt in, but I’ve never heard of that. What was that about? Just curious. <<
The day that Obama got the Nobel Prize, people started posting “Breaking News” threads. Everything from “Obama wins Dancing With the Stars” to “Obama wins the Hogwarts House Cup” There were even explanations that looked like real news stories, i.e. “In a surprise upset, Obama takes the Gold medal for unevenbars without breaking a sweat.”
We had been so down in the dumps from they election until then, that everyone’s humor started running. We had a blast. Even the mods got into it. They left them all up and at noon when Rush came on, he picked them up and started announcing.
It was a brilliant day!
