Identifying when real life imitates The Onion is a time-honored AV Club commentariat tradition. But what about when your life imitates The Onion, and it's a little too close for comfort? Share your shame! "Sixth Beer Steps In to Speak for Area Man" |

I kept expecting a Polanski joke that never came. |

Former Editor Can't Believe Shit College Newspaper Is Printing: www.theonion.com/articles/former-editor-cant-believe-shit-college-newspaper,2153/ I know the person who wrote this, he was on the same college newspaper as me and it is absolutely about that newspaper and, ahem, some of its former editors. Everything in it is 100 percent true metaphorically and in some cases literally. Painful, painful stuff. |

This one describes me in the other grammatical sense: sometimes on weekends I think "I'm just gonna spend all day in bed doing nothing!" But it never works out. |

"Goddammit, there used to be a much higher quality of comics page at this paper!" |

Trekkies Bash New Star Trek Film As 'Fun, Watchable' My brother really liked the reboot, and I once flat out told him, "You don't understand, Star Trek is supposed to be boring!" and then showed him The Motion Picture (which is actually my favorite in the series, even if Wrath of Khan is better). |

Everything in it is 100 percent true metaphorically and in some cases literally. Painful, painful stuff. I was in charge of two features at my college newspaper: the calendar of events and the crossword. I reinvented the calendar, turning it into a nutty festival of jokes, trivia facts, and filler. One time I did a "choose your own adventure" calendar where, instead of chronology, events were ordered by "If you think this kind of music is too pretentious, turn to..." As for the weekly crossword, I invented that section and designed all the puzzles myself. My college newspaper doesn't have either a crossword or a calendar anymore. Nobody else could write crosswords, and the calendar got replaced by a feature assigning AV-Club-style letter grades to the previous week's parties. Really. |

I did one for my company's newsletter once and I said never again. |

This one describes me in the other grammatical sense: sometimes on weekends I think "I'm just gonna spend all day in bed doing nothing!" But it never works out. I've been sick for a month and only managed to get one day in bed. Which explains why I've been sick for a month. Once again, Trurl, I sympathize. You'd think having pneumonia would make people more sympathetic, right? Here's the downside of working from home. My boss doesn't give a crap that I am miserably sick with pneumonia. Because, hey, sitting a desk 9 hours a day isn't strenuous, right? |
