Make Up That Tabloid Headline

AG/DC Aug 20 2008 10:44 AM

First poster makes up a story, in the form of an explanatory subhead, and respondents offer what the overheated headline would be. For instance: Poster A: "Met Shortstop Leads NLCS Clincher with Four Hits Two Homers, Sparkling Defense" Poster B: "PENNANT REYES!" Poster A: "Correct, your turn." Poster A doesn't have to cede the floor until somebody has guessed what he or she was thinking, or they concede a better headline has been submitted. I'll open with: "Redfaced Chamberlain Slammed with Patrnity Suit"
