Old News Nonsense Vol. 11 – Dinosaurs, Drama, and Digital Pets
Kai and J are back with another dose of Old News Nonsense—and this volume has everything from undead grandmas to airborne dinosaurs and bunnies that caused a scandal.
It all starts with the unforgettable Mrs. Rebecca Senpz, who sat up in her coffin mid-wake and gave mourners the shock of their lives. From there, we float into Calgary where a seven-story-tall T-Rex hot air balloon stole the spotlight at the Kodak Balloon Festival, proving prehistoric creatures still rule the skies.
Things take a smoky turn when a 9-year-old “cigaret fiend” leaves a courtroom stunned with her heavy habit, followed by a heartfelt moment—a 16-year-old girl’s letter about coping with her alcoholic mother shines a light on the toll of addiction.
We then hop into controversy with The Rabbits’ Wedding, the children’s book featuring interracial bunny love that was banned in Alabama for being “too provocative.” Apparently, bunnies were just too bold.
Next, we get cozy with tales of sweaters—yes, matching outfits for people and their dogs included—before diving into a hilariously outdated guide with “10 Ways to Remain a Spinster.” Spoiler: argue about equal rights and use a nasally voice.
To wrap it all up, we revisit the Tamagotchi craze of the 1990s, where virtual pets demanded more attention than real ones and taught us the meaning of digital guilt.
Tune in for Old News Nonsense Vol. 11—where every headline is just strange enough to be true.
