OT: The Onion
An article in The Onion about a Subaru Loyale. There's some foul language in the article, so don't bother clicking if you'll be offended by it.

I suppose that story can be applied to the looks of every Subaru other than the SVX.

I'd say issue each one of these poor, underpriviledged, creeps a '73 Gremlin, & let him drive his own ass to rehab.

The firewall here at work just popped up. It says that the site I was trying to get to was judged inappropriate for use on our intranet.
What is the "onion"?

The Onion...
For those who don't know....
The Onion is a weekly newspaper, produced in Boulder Colorado. It is distributed free at bars, restaurants etc in the Front Range areas of Colorado. The whole thing is a spoof, a put on, of your "regular newspaper". It is all done "tongue in cheek". Super sensitive , and the touchy feely types might be offended; but thats their problem. I find it very funny and clever; but then I have a somewhat twisted sense of humor! The Onion is also available free on-line at www.theonion.com.

The Onion got its start in Madison, WI. I'm really not sure when circulation began, but I suspect that it was in the early 90s. When The Onion started distribution in Milwaukee, I used to steal (hey, the paper was free) bundles from behind a building in Milwaukee and pass the issues out in my high school. That was around '92 or '93. Every summer my wife goes go Madison (she's actually leaving today) for two weeks for a music clinic. While she's there, she usually gets me one or two Onion t-shirts. I'm wearing one right now that says 'Area Man' on it. Edit: I was close. As far as I can tell, The Onion began circulation in '88-'89. It showed up on our radar in Milwaukee in about '91 or so, I think.

I emailed him this morning and he replied that the Onion started in 1985 in Madison printing only a few copies. In 1987 they started bulk printing and distributing throughought the Madison area. So Nick gets the award for being very close to correct. Next time I see you, I'll give you your prize! Doug

The Onion...
Thanks for the info, guys; I stand corrected.
I had never seen the Onion until I returned home to Colorado. They give a Boulder address in their hard copies distributed here. I think they are great...many, many laughs...

The only time I have ever been disappointed in The Onion was during the recent war with Iraq. For about three or four weeks, the entire Onion staff turned into Janeane Garofalo.
