IN BRIEF
Fox To Air Celebrity Boxing III HOLLYWOOD - The Fox Network has announced its plans for a third installment in their Celebrity Boxing specials, due to be seen early this fall. Recent bouts have included Tonya Harding vs. Paula Jones and Ron "Horshack" Palillo vs. Dustin "Screech" Diamond. Fox is "bringing in the big guns" for this newest episode and they hope to rake in the ratings during the sweeps week. On the first card will be Golden Girl Bea Arthur vs. John Goodman. This match is sure to go the full count as both fighters are in top masculine shape. The second card is the battle of the network babes as CNN's Connie Chung takes on Today's Katie Couric. For the final card, Fox has lined up a typical Fox viewer, Shaun Gruelich, to battle Sandy Grushow, programming director for Fox Network. Analysts predict this to go no more than two rounds. Vegas oddsmakers agree with the analysts, giving the victory to Gruelich due to Grushow's recent losses such as That 80's Show and Grounded For Life.
Alien Invasion Thwarted By Farmhand MACKAY, ID - With little effort or knowledge, Arlo Farks of Darlington, Idaho seems to have saved the entire human race as well as the planet itself. Farks, who works part-time as a seed inspector on Bill Jensen's produce farm in nearby Mackay, was working late when ships from an unknown planet decended on the rural area. Thinking it to be either friendly contact or some new movie being filmed, Farks offered the aliens (or actors since he wasn't sure which) some fresh strawberries from the previous week's harvest. Luckily for mankind, the aliens seem to be allergic to the summer fruit and most swelled up and died within minutes of consumption. The government was called in to examine both the alien remains and ships, but were uninterested since what they have at Area 51 is much more advanced. Farks received a $3.00 per year raise due to his earth saving efforts.
