Get the good news mug.An ancient, clustered, European style harbor town in northern Essex County Massachusetts at the mouth of the Merrimack River (on the south bank.)
Known for clipper ship construction two centuries ago, it has a very long history of prosperity and decline and figured prominently in the HPL story "The Shadow Over Innsmouth" among other literary works.
In the last half century it has gone from slum to a wealthy place dominated by yuppies, and has some of the best preserved early 19th century urban architecture anywhere in North America.
But as someone already said, it has it's secrets... has had them for centuries.
More towns should be designed like Newburyport.

Newburyport has a long and rich history. Located on the south bank of the Merrimack River before it empties into the Atlantic Ocean, the area was originally inhabited by the Pawtucket Indians. It was settled in the 1630’s by European immigrants who founded the city of Newbury. The small port of Newbury was quickly settled and became a fishing and trading center with the rest of Newbury turning to agricultural pursuits.
By 1764, the port was so prosperous and densely settled that it broke off from Newbury to become Newburyport. Maritime trade fueled the city’s economy, sparking extraordinary building activity in the decades following.
In 1811, a catastrophic fire leveled the downtown. That event, coupled with restrictive federal trading policies and embargoes implemented in response to the War of 1812 and the national financial panic of 1816, resulted in the city’s economic downfall...

Get the Newpsie mug.Chocolate News is a satirical fake news show hosted and head written by David Alan Grier. Its a show with sketches on black culture and a focus on how Grier thinks typical African Americans view things. It is not even close to as terrible as the Mind of Mencia is but its quite boring and not even close to being as funny as Chappelle's Show.
bill: Do you wanna watch Mind of Mencia?
steve: Hell no!!!
bill: How bout Chocolate News?
Steve: No I'm not high enough right now. Lets watch Chappelle's Show instead.

Get the Onion News mug.Verb. The act (specifically done in debate) of taking someones words and twisting them into something both totally unrelated and utterly offensive in an attempt to detract attention from how wrong the fox newser may be. Comparable to a red herring, Fox Newsing is different in that it usually makes even less sense than a typical red herring. Typically used as a last resort in a disagreement, fow newsing too often can also lead to a warped sense of reality, wherein the fox newser see's the world however they see fit, or, more commonly however any number of pundits tells them they should.
a. "I think it is wrong that children in third world countries starve to death by the thousands, while children in America are obese."
b. "Oh, so you're a communist then. Fascism doesnt work, alright? Not everything hates America!"
a. "That's not at all what I said, in the slightest. Don't fox news me."
b. "Shut up!"
