Perhaps the mushroom ate the owl.

The large mushroom’s name is Owl. Duh.

Bloody knew it was true! youtu.be/ScnXkyXqxz8?...

Beautiful

Careful I think this is how The Last of Us started!!

That’s all you’ll be getting for at least the next 4 years. Probably far longer once the coups bedded in.

The way this story was written….pure poetry

It's okay. Most people never read past the headline (usually coz everything else is behind a paywall).

Welcome... To Night Vale...

debb, thanks to you, the genius of this headline writer for the metro section is getting the recognition it deserves.

Lukelukeluke is rolling in his log. 🤣

It is

Someone ate an owl and hallucinated mushrooms?

Was the mushroom ok? 😮

Someone tripping hard that night. We will never know fully what happened. Mushrooms.

There is more to this story than they’re letting on…

I will have to like all Twin Peaks mentions in the answers! 😇

RIP the one and only David Lynch. The world still isn't the same💖

Gotta fill the void with anything but the real current horrors going on

I wish this was all that was going on in the world

The Book House Boys. "There's something in the woods. It's been there as long as anybody can remember..."

Written by A Log.

Serious police work

Pretty sure this is an ill omen. As was foretold in the ancient prophecies.

😀

That's my town. Took a baby bird to them and said it was pooping blood, they explained it was berries, came to my my house twice, once to rescue an abandoned baby mouse in my house and once for a baby squirrel in my yard. And now....saving a mushroom. These folks have endless patience.

I’m a little bit in love with that headline writer

The next post, as I was scrolling down, was the photo of an owl 😂🤷❤️

Did they take the mushroom to the hospital?

me2

It's magic !

Hoot.Hoot

My birthday!

I gotta find our police blotter entry of a squirrel and power outage. Freakin hilarious..........and nice to live in a town that this makes the weekly blotter

It looks like a shaggy mane -- although that's neglected to identify it -- which is about 8 cm long, if that

Know your road-side objects.

Cooper, Cooper, Cooper!

Oh it was a mushroom... WHEN THEY FOUND IT

you're welcome. the world is shitty and so we must be silly

One metric owl, got it.

That gum you like is coming back in style

Hahaha!

Kinda refreshing for a change.

But … I am considering a slice of cherry pie 🥧 and a damn fine cup of coffee!☕️

I knew someone would have a good pun; you did not disappoint.

Thank you for this

This sounds like the start of a new Annihilation novel

The two genders are owl and large mushroom.

Oof

I actually wish I was reading things like this every day. Instead, we have judges getting arrested.

Maybe someone was consuming "owls"

Yikes

I really want to know what happens after the discovery of the large mushroom, and how it relates to the owls that aren’t what they seem!

:-)

That’s a damn fine headline!

🤣🤣🤣

Journalism without propaganda.

"That's some damn fine coffee you've got here in Arlington"

But it proved David Lynch was right…

Not my picture, but I saved this. I do like an owl door.

Stay away from the shrooms.

Mushrooms love to punk us. Check out this fun guy…

This is exactly what the owls want us to think. I expect them to make their move at any time now.

The author's name is Ria Manglapus and she is still at the Post. When she wrote Animal Watch it was full of these delightful absurdities. It was my favorite section of the paper, and many other people local to DC.

Oh no, is that Birds Aren't Real clown back at it?

And damn fine cherry pie.

HAHAHAHA

You should see the "crime" blotter from Atherton, California.

Succinct.

Went to help an owl But found a mushroom instead Life can still surprise

bird drone tech is adapting

WAS THE MUSHROOM OKAY???

Was it magic?

New cryptid just dropped!

LMAO!

The owl just moved on to the next level. 🍄

Lol!

Hahaha

Clearly the owls placed the mushroom there to entrap local mycologists. Don’t be fooled, cops!

So good 😁👌

The sequel to The Crows Have Eyes.

I want to be friends with a chill animal control officer. I bet they've got great stories. Just like teachers, nurses, and EMTs. Or, better yet, a wildlife rescuer!!! Let's be buds.

Were there any woodsmen nearby?

Birds aren't real.

Questions in a world of blue.

Clearly only there for the Twin Peaks reference, and I wholly approve.

Hey, it's better than the constant news about the world melting down. Is the owl ok?

So newspapers are using William Burroughs’ cut-up technique now?

They’re eating the owls!… they’re eating the ‘shrooms!

The New Yorker used to have little tidbits like this. Always delightful.

🤣

With a bite taken out of it, I'm sure.

Extremely pricey neighborhood, too. It actually makes sense.

That would be an awesome first line for a book, though.

I got it no worries

“Chug-a-lug, Donna.”

As minor as this is, I wish more news stories were this minor. I could really use living through less news-worthy events.

I always knew it was the owls.

Canadian news? ✌️🇨🇦

This is the news we need!! 👍

But wouldn't be a lovely life if that was the only news in our lives?

UTO!

Strong Ent vibes.

Well, Owl be.
