Came back from lunch, and this is what was on my computer screen....

This just in:

Relatives from accross the nation gather in morn this afternoon after receiving word that Barry Zito's small two-prop plane crashed in the South Pacific. Zito, who was well on his way to making a small fortune in the Llama breeding trade, was traveling due south when a flock of pigeons distracted his "real doll" who accidentally shut down the plane's auto pilot and sent the plane into a downward spiral.

Zito, who just completed his first editorial in "Teen Llama," a small magazine that has been growing in popularity"

Moral of the story: Log off of your computers, people. Don't ask why, just do it.

I should note that my boss was in under my password, and about to post this to the front page with the headline “Zito Killed in Plane Crash.” That would have been interesting….

Sure, if you consider 2,500-comment freakout threads “interesting.”

WHY IS BOCOCK?!

So after last night’s game, Barry Zito decided that his future was in llama breeding, got in a two-prop plane in the South Pacific and proceeded to crash it into the ocean.

I mean, it is Barry Zito. Can’t say I’d be surprised that he’d suddenly discover and act upon his secret love for llama breeding.

I like the spelling of the word ‘mourn’. It was confusing at first.

Tell your boss that this is a horrible sentence, even for a joke post.

So does this mean my Teen Llama subscription is cancelled? Answers, please.
