LANSDALE, PA > Local town crier and amateur sidewalk runner Nicky Romano was overheard last Wednesday night cursing the inventor of doorknob mechanisms.

Nicky—well-known for his powerful personal affirmations—was attempting to swap out a broken doorknob with a new one. After returning home from the hardware store, he was aghast at the unnecessarily complicated nature of the mechanism.

"I wish I could bring back to life the inventor of this infernal thing and bop them over the head with a bocce ball," he declared.

Despite his track record of questionable swap attempts, Nicky was convinced this one would be different—that the doorknob would slide in with no problem. Instead, the problems sprang up like a tent pitched by an eager Don Juan.

At press time, Nicky was spotted on 5th Street, sweatband firmly in place, pausing mid-stride to snap a triumphant selfie.

Area Fact Checker, Absent From Every Supervisor Meeting Since 2018, Declares Township in Crisis

In the past year, the beloved farm and tourist destination closed a deal with developers that will bring 58 new town-homes to the former dairy property. Earl, who has not attended a township supervisors meeting since 2018, remains firmly convinced that he does not want “those people” invading the new construction. By “those people,” Earl clarified, he means people in general. Over the years, Earl has become quite the armchair supervisor, voicing his opinions in local Facebook community groups. He has accomplished what he proudly refers to as “God’s work” — all while having no experience in city planning, land development, zoning ordinances, or code enforcement. At press time, Earl was also reported to be sick of the music blasting f...

Local Drawer Knob Out to Destroy Local Man’s Pocket

Tired of being yanked on and manhandled, the drawer knob plotted revenge just as its owner, Dave, and his wife were in the middle of an argument about where to store a recently purchased case of water from the local grocery store. In a fit of suburban, husbandy indignation, Dave whipped around mid-rebuttal. At that moment, the drawer knob latched onto Dave’s pocket, clung tight, and ripped the seam clean off. "You've gotta be fuckin' kidding me," Dave exclaimed.  At press time, Dave was searching “how to sew” on YouTube while his wife looked on.

Hatfield Social Media Influencer Can’t Stop Talking About ALDI’s Dill Pickle Mustard

  Photo Credit: Bone Jawnson By Bone Jawnson A few days ago, local social media influencer Bone Jawnson took to his usual bi-weekly trip to the land where it all makes sense: Aldi. Upon shopping for—yet again—another bottle of the culinary delicacy, ketchup, he stumbled upon a featured new item from the Burman’s brand: Dill Pickle Mustard. Needless to say, Bone is extremely well-versed in condiments, specifically hot dog condiments. His favorites include brown mustard and sauerkraut, or yellow mustard and coleslaw—a true tubular meat aficionado. We caught up with Bone to see what his hot take is on the new Dill Pickle Mustard offering from the greatest grocery store this side of Orvilla Road. “You know, I was initially confused, then intrigued. Then I cracked a sinister smile, knowing that this condiment would hold supreme reign on the top right-side shelf in my refrigerator.” At press time, Bone was engaged in a mad-scientist-like experiment, stirring Dill Pickle Mustard into his ...
