Those of you who aren't Totalfarkers missed the the original three contests for Dec 2010, January and February, here are some of the headlines that were in those contests that didn't quite make the cut. It's not all of them, but these were a few that I really liked and I wanted to share them with you all.

Unfreakable: 19 Pakistani girls wedge themselves in a SmartCar, set world record for most mustaches in an automobile

At least it wasn't Michelle Bachmann impersonators setting the record for most beards.

I had one in the January bunch:

Saudi Arabian officials have reportedly arrested a vulture suspected of being a Mossad spy. Nothing to see here, carrion

Probably my cleverest headline.

But I really wish this one would have made it:

A new poll reveals that 48% think the GOP are extremist Americans. GOP: "What's wrong with being extremely American?"

Is this where I get to be bitter?

76 trumped, pwned in the pig's charade

"European scientists working on RoboEarth, a network similar to the Internet for robots to share information. The resulting robot uprising will be thwarted when someone uploads a video clip of a robot humping a washing machine"
/chucklarity ensued Thanks

This one cracked me up when it was Boobiesed. Glad it still has the same effect.

pwhp_67: Accountant's blood alcohol was more than five times the legal limit when he parked in the middle of the highway to sleep. Guess he couldn't handle his ten fortys

This one was mine. I have to admit that I reverse-engineered this headline: the phrase "ten fortys" just popped into my head one day and I thought it was funny, so I did a search for "drunk accountant" on Google News, found that story, and, lo and behold, a greenlight was born.

Headlines aren't what they used to be since 40Below stopped posting... tucks another onion under my belt.

Rare 12' long serpentine oarfish washes up on Malibu shore, is promptly cleaned, grilled, dusted with lime, sea salt, Malabar peppercorns and served with a bold but casual Alsatian Pinot Blanc

My fav out of these, fwiw.

Mr. Lickalickalicka: These are funnier than most of the ones that DID make it.

Indeed. In particular, wiredroach's submission rocked. His "ten fortys" headline was really good stuff.

CT Zeal: Whatever happened to "Let's not start sucking each other's dicks quite yet"? I remember that one being a huge favorite last December, and a source of many of the complaints of December entries not being eligible for HOTY if they show up after the cutoff.

That one would have to be eligible in the Context Contest, because that one doesn't exactly stand on its own.

That is, you wouldn't get the joke just from reading the headline, you'd have to click on the accompanying article.

It's kinda like the " MEMEMEMEME MEMEMEME MEMEMEMEMEME {{boom}} " headline about the exploding beaker. The joke becomes apparent only when you click on the article and see that it's about an exploding beaker.
