Santa Claus dead at 77

So I only have three days left at my job, where the bulk of my work is pagination, the magical process by which news stories appear on newspaper pages. Our company handles pagination for three newspapers in the Metro area. I happened to have the pleasure of laying out the following page. What a black day this will go down as in the history books. And to think, I was there as it was happening:

Seriously. They asked me to run this all the way across the top. "Santa dies of heart attack." At that moment, my job couldn't have been more surreal. (Word of the week?) But ... it could have been funnier, so I couldn't resist the chance to caption their picture of the "Hammer" ride from a midway carnival "It's 'Hammer' time." I couldn't be prouder of my efforts.

Dear Santa,
I'm sorry you're fucking dead! You always gave me such cool presents even on my birthday, which is in April. That's funny, Santa, because my best friend is also named April LOL! Please make it so that she can hang out with me soon.

With True Love,
Jace Bartet
