Military Intelligence: Haven't had time to post anything since Monday, as I've been busy with the debut of Tuesday Night Trivia (a great success) and my latest liner-note project for Rhino, but I do have a moment to update you on my latest wacky headlines. I worked at the paper on Monday night and, during the course of copy-editing, came up with two heds that made it into Tuesday's paper. One is self-explanatory: "Military academies get 'plebe' bargain as applications soar."
The other was for a story on the new brand of cheese puffs being sold in Egypt which boast Yasser Arafat's image on the package. The manufacturer says that sales of the snack benefit the Palestinian resistance movement. I was originally going to write, 'Egyptians get Ara-fat on junk food,' but it didn't fit. So I wrote, "Yasser is Egypt's puff daddy."
