I read the local newspaper because
"I like to read the Arrest Log to see if anyone I know is in there!"
This was an actual quote in the small-town local paper that I get. I just about died laughing!!:D :D |
Was there a pic of this person? Perhaps you know who this person is. You don't want friends whose friends may end up in jail. LOL :p
|
Actually, there was but I didn't know them, lol!!;) :D
|
That's funny!
I know when I worked at a shop on the beach, we would look at the arrest log for co-workers.
|
I work as a reporter on the school's TV news station. The newspaper sometimes has good ideas for local stories.

I read two local newspapers because I'm a business journalist and I need to find out what they are doing. Because our readers have limited time with us, I can't duplicate what they've got. ;)
Besides, I like having a working knowledge of current events, although I am sort of old-school when it comes to conversation -- read I don't bring up topics like religion and politics w/people I just met. :p |
Hey, Steeltrap -- We're moving to our new building next weekend. Check the N-S Web site tomorrow for a story about it. We visited last week. It's a beautiful building inside, lots of desk space, and lots of windows! We can actually see outside!

Thanks for the tip. Windows will be quite an improvement. ;) In the old building, there wasn't much window space. I will go to the site -- I was wondering what was going down in K-town. :) BTW, Silverblue and I go back more than a decade. I met her in the early 1990s and were colleagues at the same paper. She's still there. :cool: |
I read the local newspaper because...
The conversation with the parakeet in the cage is not that stimulating... (See, the paper is in the bottom of the cage, and...Oh, never mind.) |
When I was a kid, I had this fascination for reading the Obituaries. I liked to see how old people were before they died.
Recently I had been reading the paper every day because they liked to feature a certain someone that I HAD been seeing. Now if they have his picture printed, I like to cut em out and throw darts at it. Just kidding. |
I read it for the announcements (to see if I know anyone that is getting married, a scholarship, or becoming an eagle scout...lol)
I also like to see how my old HS is doing in sports |
I know this is off topic, but I love to read the engagement and wedding announcements. I like to see which women were Chi Omegas (specifically) and if there's anyone in there I know.
So fun! Hootie |

to kill time.
I also like the metro section the most. Good info on road closures. (Forgot to check that one this weekend and was 30 minutes late to a wedding, fortunately so was everyone, DAMN 410 construction). Also to see whats going on in town, business developments, etc. |
