Minus the hometeam discount, can anybody find a laugh-out-loud funny article on the site? Don’t let them get off easy. Lemme know what you find. Seattle Weakly doesn’t qualify.

No, nothing super funny here. But if it is trying to be onion-y isn’t it more about a clever headline and maybe an amusing first paragraph?

Fair point. Onion only makes me laugh out loud once a week. I want to see the funniest article on the Loon before I judge them further!

Well, I’m the guy that writes all this stuff, so maybe I’m not the most objective, but here are my favorite stories, roughly in descending order of preference. (Sorry, I don’t know if HTML is allowed in the comments here, so I’m just going to paste the links.)
“More like Seattle Weakly” is f-ing HILARIOUS!

I had never read your stuff until today, and I thought it was hilarious. I sent the link out to all my fellow Seattlest writers.
You can’t just give it to him like that. Make him work for it! Dance, Tim, dance.
