Onion vol. 41 #26

One blog post, please, with extra Onion.

This week's is okay, with:

But there's funnier stuff in the past: their link to "From The Vault" Volume 35 Issue 20 (26 May 1999) has lots of good stuff. My favorite:
Society For Creative Anachronism Seizes Control Of Russia
Forsooth, mine legions of brave warmakers hath conquered the Lands West O' the Urals! Let there be great rejoicing in our noble victory!" exclaimed Cedric, Bard of the House of Æthelmearc, 36, hoisting a flagon of ale. "What, ho! Bring on the serving wenches!"

...SCA leaders, who have called the weekend's campaign "a really good time," were said to be especially pleased with the invasion's early wrap-up, as it left the remainder of the weekend free for social recreation in the form of mead-drinking, archery contests, and the singing of bawdy madrigals.

But wait! The past is funny, but the future's even better. They still have their "Future Archives" up, when they celebrate their 300th issue in 2056: Volume 92 Issue 25. (It's sort of past future, because they had this last week but I never posted it.) Unfortunately it's one giant Flash page, but it's worth putting up with. There's honestly too much to highlight. Just trust me on this one and check out the whole thing, if you haven't already seen it.
