From “Family Dollar Airlines Expands Catapult Services To Include Memphis International Airport,” a parody piece about a new low-cost airline that will use catapults instead of planes: “Technically, this is feasible. With modern computers, you could easily calculate the correct trajectory and force needed to reach your destination. All you’d need is a really big net at the other end.

From “Midtown Nursery To Fight Food Truck Plan,” about an existing business being asked to move to make way for a food truck court:
“As a longtime food trucker, I will tell you this IS NOT COOL. We will NOT be participating in this ill-planned endeavor.”
