Yup, your humble J-school grad was pretty much handed a tale that had it all: sex and drugs (not the regular kinds), multiple deaths (untimely, natch), rich folks and rituals and loads o' lawsuits- even a celebrity cherry on top. My newbie journo peers might be settling for three inches of coyotes in the subway, some spry centenarian's weightlifting regime or a bucket of campylobacter in the church supper salad, but I was planning to debut large and with oomph. The story was mine. I just had to figure out how to tell it.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Elyse Friedman" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/elyse-friedman/i-needed-a-story-something-local-but-juicy-and-more-than-just/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/8b0/elyse-friedman-101740_death_i-needed-a-story-something-local-but-jui_315456.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/8b0/elyse-friedman-101740_death_i-needed-a-story-something-local-but-jui_315456.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/8b0/elyse-friedman-101740_death_i-needed-a-story-something-local-but-jui_315456.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“I needed a story.

According to Van Plotsberg he had only just begun experimenting with kinky hair and extra toes when he happened upon the formula for poodles. Van Plotsberg’s first poodles sported only one leg -- a stumpy appendage protruding from the center of the body. These crude early versions (commonly inverted and used as hat stands) were soon abandoned in favor of the superior French model, which featured a winning smile and four limbs positioned strategically around the torso. Thus began the dizzying proliferation of the modern-day poodle -- hampered temporarily by a 1909 decree which stated that “Henceforth all poodles shall bear the name Svee,” marking a slight decline in the population until the edict was overturned. Today, poodles inhabit every corner of the earth. Witness the African Killer Poodle, The Wild Poodles of Borneo, and the elusive Giant Swamp Poodle of Denchai.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Elyse Friedman" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/elyse-friedman/the-poodle-the-poodle-nature-s-most-perfect-food-was-invented-by-otto/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/36d/elyse-friedman-101740_kinky-hair_the-poodle-the-poodle-nature-s-most-perf_871622.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/36d/elyse-friedman-101740_kinky-hair_the-poodle-the-poodle-nature-s-most-perf_871622.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/36d/elyse-friedman-101740_kinky-hair_the-poodle-the-poodle-nature-s-most-perf_871622.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“The Poodle The poodle -- nature’s most perfect food -- was invented by Otto Van Plotsberg in 1872.
