Since Fred's on vacation, I figured I'd try my hand at publishing today's edition of the Rantburg Defender-Scimitar and Times Picayune....

#5 Very good, Scooter!

Especially delightful: Everyone in agreement except parties actually involved in fighting.

LOL!

#9 No links, but a hell of a job! Jeez. Have you considered the counterfeiting way of life Scooter? I think maybe you have a talent for it.

#11 Scooter, outstanding! I don't know how Fred did the link thingie, but who in the world ever looked at the RDS&TP for those, anyway? You got the colors, the pic and the snark just right.

Fred would be proud [sniff].

#23 Scoot McGroot!!! What a hoot! Great job!

Scooter McGrooter for vice president! That's what I love about the 'Burg, somebody steps up to the plate. What a network. A community of close-knit misanthropes. Now where in blazes did I put my robes and turban.......oh, here they are....underneath my Groucho Marx glasses, eyebrows and nose assembly. Would ya like a little soft shoe?

Speaking of Esther, I've always enjoyed the breast stroke.

#32 TW:

While you were away yesterday, you got famous here: go see A Very Rantburg Movie, by Rantburg's new Director of Cinematography...

#33 Oh my goodness! I go to visit family for a few days and y'all get up to all sorts of shenanigans! Mike, you flatter me too much by putting me in such illustrious company. I shall have to bake a cake and have you all for tea tomorrow by way of thanks -- it has been a while since we've had a Rantburg tea party. Too many popcorn-and-veggie-platter Palestinian self-destruction parties recently, and then there was that overexcitement about the fainting couch...

Ok. Tea party tomorrow afternoon. And yes, Besoeker dear, I will make milk tarts. And a lemon pound cake for lotp, garnished with edible flowers. Oh, and any extended pinkies had better be ironic -- I don't hold with serious pinkies. You Have Been Warned.

I missed you all dreadfully while I was away -- both the serious and the snark. Would you believe I actually turned on the TV news each night to find out what not to believe?

#35 Eight white perch, two croakers and a bluegill. None of them keepers, but all of them fun. Young Sporky caught a white perch -- his very first time fishing.

#36 Ah, first time fishing. That is a special day, doubly so if it's grandfather who's along.

#38 Congrats Fred.

Some may say that catching fish isn't the point of fishing! Especially with your son / grandson.
