Welcome to Headline Hangover - our weekly take on some of the ridiculous local, national and global news stories.
Here's a look back some of the headlines that caught my attention for the week of November 6, 2016:
President-Elect ...uhh... Trump
Following the election of Donald Trump as the 45th president of the United States, many people across the country became very nervous.
And if YOU were scared, just imagine how much Donald Trump is freaking out, now that he'll have to actually play out this prank for four years.

While Hillary Clinton did win the popular vote, Donald Trump won the election by gaining more Electoral College votes.
So now Trump can cancel that polo match he had scheduled between the Electoral College and Trump University to determine the real winner.

"Electoral College's athletic department is a complete disaster."
President Obama met with Donald Trump at the Oval Office on Thursday as the first step in the transition process.
But they looked more like they were waiting for Michelle and Melania to finish trying on clothes at Lord & Taylor.
Trump: "Sooo..."
Obama: "Yup."
People were burning New Balance sneakers throughout the country yesterday after the company backed Donald Trump.
And while this is an anti-Trump display, burning running shoes does feel suspiciously pro-Chris Christie.

Is that- is that Christie roasting s'mores over the sneaker fire?

Earlier this week, Trump surrogate Scottie Nell Hughes appeared on CNN and referred to a "Molotov Cocktail" lyric from a rap song as a "Mazel Tov Cocktail."
You know, Mazel Tov Cocktails - when you order one the bar gives you complimentary mashuga nuts.
If you have one too many, you might get a little verklempt.
Just before Election Day, FBI Director James Comey said that the bureau went through and cleared all 650,000 Hillary Clinton emails in just eight days.
In fairness, it was pretty easy to sift through them when 625,000 were Groupon offers for Macy's pantsuits.

The other 25,000 are from Time Kaine asking Hillary if she wants to go to Sizzler.

This past Sunday was the New York City Marathon.
Which is a 26.2 mile running competition, and not just couples sprinting from restaurant to restaurant trying to find the shortest wait for brunch.
