Creative Editing: Tornado Stories



Tornadoes are horrible, and are responsible for countless tragedies. I don't know anyone who's pro-tornado, besides that jackass who is always yelling on "Storm Chasers", and maybe those sissy terrorist-lovin' liberals. The following is not, by any means, intended to make light of the recent destruction in Joplin, Tuscaloosa, or Springfield.

That being said, here's a way to turn tornado-related stories from "frightening" to "frighteningly AWESOME": substitute "giant drunk bear" for "tornado".

Example:

"A handful of cars that were in the giant drunk bear’s path quickly backed up, letting the animal cross over the roadway, they said. It tore up the roof of a house on the other side of the Pike, sending shingles into the air, and then spun into a wooded area, snapping trees as it went. Then the bear journeyed up a hill and disappeared into the distance."

Original story: boston.com

You're welcome.
