Look! It's me in the Local PaperMost local papers will print any old rubbish. Far, far too many years ago I got into the Windsor, Slough and Eton Express after winning a fancy-dressed-bicycle competition. What they neglected to mention was that I was the only entrant.
What sad stuff have you been in your local rag for doing? Scan stuff in and show us if you can.

sixth grademy school's spelling bee came down to my sister and I as the final two contestants. The local paper thought that was sufficiently interesting to use as the lead-in for its report on the spelling bees across the city.
senior year:
someone from the same paper was looking for a local student to write a story about where the local young folk liked to hang out. Somehow my entry managed to be the winning one.
various points later:
a columnist in yet the same paper seemed to enjoy printing nearly every letter I ever wrote to her, though fortunately the one I wrote when I was drunk and pissed off didn't make it to print.
