I had checked The Onion earlier this week. I checked again tonight(basically forgetting that I had already checked it, but we don;t have to get into THAT)
Anyway, at first, I thought, oh great, new issue! Then, I realized it was only the main article that had been changed, the rest were the same.
And then I remembered not reading the main article for some reason.
So, did anyone see this article? Am I dreaming?

The onion seems to have gone from having a full new issue each week to a new story every couple days. The opinions change daily, and the other things are gradually updated. If you check, you'll probably find that the main article from last time you checked is now the 2nd or 3rd article. The full turnaround time is still about a week, but it's just more gradual. AV Club is working in a similar fashion.
Don't let it freak you out. It's still America's Finest News Source. Posted by Dr Strangelove (Member # 8331) on :
I was sitting waiting for a bus and I just randomly looked at the ground, and there was "The Onion" laying at my feet . I was quite happy, especially since the bus was 15 minutes late and that was my only reading material.
And congrats on 10,000 posts Elizabeth .

Oh, heavens, 10,000 posts about not much at all!
Tom, that was terribly unsporting of you. Hence, I shall update this post anyway, soince it was my 10,000th, and I will pretend I did not post three more times hereafter.

I think you should change the title of this thread to:
"Did the Onion change its main page article? (a landmark)"
Anyway, congrats on the huge milestone.

DAGNABBIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My plan was to take the 10,000th post, and keep updating the thread title, then editing the post to answer any other post, so I would never go over 10,000.
But I blew it.
I will have to wait for 15,000 or something.
So, the thread title might read: "Elizabeth replies to Icaurus' comment on the Red Sox"
"Elizabeth makes a pun on the pun thread"

LOL--cute "updating thread title" idea. And congrats on 10,003 posts--and counting.

Liz, let me be the first to say that I am glad your plan failed horribly.
