Lulu in LaLaLand
Oops!
Moonlight

Said to be a display at the library in Platteville, Wisconsin, this week. Platteville has a population of about 11,000, and apparently the librarians have a great sense of humor.

(And if you don’t get it: at the Academy Awards Sunday, they announced LaLa Land won best picture, then realized there was a screw-up in the envelopes, and re-awarded the Oscar to Moonlight instead, all on live TV. These children’s books wryly illustrate the debacle in what was really an inconsequential event.)

Randy Cassingham is best known as the creator of This is True®, the oldest entertainment feature on the Internet: it has been running weekly by email subscription since early 1994. It is social commentary using weird news as its vehicle so it’s fun to read. Click here for the site — basic subscriptions are free.


Comments? Sorry: Facebook retired their commenting system (they didn’t even bother to alert me). Just as well, I suppose, but sadly there is no way to recover the many hundreds of comments made on this site. Lesson learned: never rely on someone else’s site for prime functions, especially “social media”!

Since this site is mostly retired now (maximum of one new post per month), I did decide that since all comments are now gone that I would not attempt to install any new commenting system. -rc
