Boulder constructs massive biodome over entire city
In other fake news:
Commuters have become concerned about the increasing number of road blockages on every single road in and out of Boulder.
As of last week, every possible way from Boulder to Longmont has been decorated with little orange cones and stand-still traffic. The once-30-minute commute now can easily reach six hours or more, commuters report.
A secret source revealed today that the “road construction” is, in fact, the construction of a massive biodome over the city of Boulder.
“The Boulder Bubble,” as it has been dubbed by insiders (literally), is no longer a euphemism.
The Bubble is designed to keep out all outsiders (especially Longmontians, Republicans and people with more than 10 percent body fat). This will not only protect the city’s prairie dogs while blocking all pesticides and nonorganic particles that might cling to bodies that have driven past a Wal-Mart in the past decade, but the Bubble will also keep all of the Medical Cannabis smoke contained.
“In a sense, it will turn Boulder into one awesome, all-organic hotbox,” the secret source said.
Boulder residents have not noticed the construction of the biodome because they only leave city limits to fly to Costa Rica for “volun-tourism” trips. Officials are designing an indoor, air-conditioned section of town that will be modeled after Costa Rica for residents who still wish to help the needy.
A second smaller, thicker bubble is also under construction around Trident Coffee Shop in downtown.

Top headline: Fan grows legs, walks away
The small, white fan in Kevin Kaufman’s office was neatly on its perch when he left for home last night.
This morning: Gone.
Investigators report they can “only reasonably surmise” that it grew a pair of legs and went walking.
Authorities are now searching for a 10-inch white fan wandering the halls.
“Please kindly direct it back to my office,” Kaufman says. “It gets hotter than the dickens in here in the afternoons and I’d truly enjoy a bit of a breeze.”
Across town, reporter Aimee Heckel lost her digital camera this morning. Officials are looking into whether the two incidents are related, such as the fan walked across Boulder County to Longmont and swiped the camera.
This task is complicated, as all pictures of the suspect from the security camera are action-blurred.

Fashion photo of the week: The biggest contradiction of all
The ’70s were bell bottoms and flowy skirts. The ’80s were fluorescent jelly bracelets and Hammer pants. The ’90s were plaid and Doc boots. The 2000s were peasant-style tops, boys wearing pink, super-low-rise jeans and briefly (albeit still too long) popped collars.
But what will the 2010s be remembered for?
It’s hard to separate yourself from the “now” far enough to make fun of it.
But my best guess is the ’10s will be remembered for their contradictions. Like this photo of a model wearing a Fashion’s Night Out Collection tank top with a formal ballroom skirt. The easiest way to make an outfit hip is to pair together two seeming conflicting genres: Frilly and punk. Skirts with combat boots. Stripes with flowers.
Look through ultra trendy stores, like Forever 21. It’s almost like the more you can clash, the more you are in. One of the pre-paired outfits on the Web site is a black blazer, white lace top, short denim shorts, platform shoes, black geek glasses and red pattern tights. It makes no sense. And I love it.
Which makes me wonder: In 30 years, will I be hiding all of the photos of me today, like I do of the pics of my wall o’ hairspray from eighth grade?
