, red, yellow, blue, and green and then vanished.

The whole episode

KyBanjo - Posted - 01/02/2023:  11:15:35

was somewhat uncomfortable for everyone involved.

One would think

chuckv97 - Posted - 01/02/2023:  12:10:34

it would be a big splash on all big city newspaper headlines.

Only the East Peoria Chronicle

KyBanjo - Posted - 01/02/2023:  12:59:56

covered the story as it was breaking news.


According to

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 01/03/2023:  04:51:45

eye witnesses at the “State Home for the Criminally Inane” the facts remain somewhat jumbled.

One thing

they never do is put on their pants one leg at a time.



The three-legged race is a popular

Every year

about this time they start their parties which last for about two weeks.

Last year they

passed out after only 11 days.

Uncle Jerry’s moonshine

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 01/04/2023:  15:02:05

is said to be a combination aphrodisiac and stool softener.

This results in

outhouse scrambles that don't end well.

meanwhile, Tonto

had another run-in with the law.

It seems

KyBanjo - Posted - 01/06/2023:  15:26:08

every time he has to much fire water he gets really loaded.

One only hopes

chuckv97 - Posted - 01/06/2023:  17:52:01

he’ll go to rehab and counsel with his band’s medicine man.

The Lone Ranger is taking care of Scout

KyBanjo - Posted - 01/07/2023:  07:50:10

while Tonto went to Alcohol Anonymous for 3 months.

They decided

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 01/07/2023:  11:59:41

he should attend AAA after the judge told Tonto he had been brought to court for drinking, to which Tonto replied “Well let’s get started then”.

Sometimes

chuckv97 - Posted - 01/07/2023:  14:51:45

nuances of interpretation can land one in the hoosegow.

I swore on a stack

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 01/08/2023:  04:40:45

of fresh $100 bills that I didn’t rob the bank.

But

chuckv97 - Posted - 01/12/2023:  12:19:08

the judge was told those bills were counterfeit.

Life in cell block 9

KyBanjo - Posted - 01/12/2023:  15:22:20

is not very amusing at having to watch everyone as their a bunch of criminals.

The warden told me

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 01/12/2023:  16:38:27

I could be his “special friend”.

I wonder

chuckv97 - Posted - 01/12/2023:  16:41:49

what the perks are.

The last

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 01/13/2023:  05:09:00

thing we need right now is our offspring taking accordion lessons.

Don’t you wonder

chuckv97 - Posted - 01/13/2023:  22:50:07

that they might run away to Cleveland and join the Frankie Yankovic Tribute Band?

Never send your kids money

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 01/14/2023:  05:19:50

expecting anything in return.

It might be wise

KyBanjo - Posted - 01/14/2023:  11:29:54

to just go ahead and pay it for them.

These days

chuckv97 - Posted - 01/14/2023:  11:48:49

my coin collection is suffering from inflation.

My 1936 Nickel

KyBanjo - Posted - 01/14/2023:  16:56:11

was worth a lot more than I expected.

Seems

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 01/15/2023:  04:45:40

that lately I’ve been reminiscing about the olden days more than usual.

Maybe

chuckv97 - Posted - 01/15/2023:  19:18:29

my aging memory is warped.

Those white bucks I wore in 1957

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 01/16/2023:  04:30:12

would today be coveted by enthusiasts of retro vintage clothing.

Some other items

chuckv97 - Posted - 01/18/2023:  16:12:40

I’ve repurposed from dumpsters are plaid cuffed trousers and a coonskin hat.

I go to retro parties

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 01/19/2023:  06:10:36

hoping to hook up with a gal wearing a bullet bra and sporting a bee-hive hairdo.

There’s

chuckv97 - Posted - 01/19/2023:  06:41:22

more than one fish in the sea.

Most gals never give me a second look

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 01/19/2023:  15:13:22

since I’ve discovered the secret to becoming invisible.

It’s very

Earl-Picker - Posted - 01/19/2023:  15:26:13

Cold here today

But I'll

chuckv97 - Posted - 01/19/2023:  15:53:04

sally forth with my wool toque and mukluks.

I saw a vacationing Eskimo

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 01/21/2023:  05:13:20

eating an Eskimo Pie while waiting for the refrigerator repairman.

You wouldn’t think

chuckv97 - Posted - 01/22/2023:  15:02:17

he’d even own a refrigerator but then he’s preparing for glowball warming.

He’s even checking out water skis

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 01/23/2023:  11:42:54

for his sled dog team.

There are

chuckv97 - Posted - 01/23/2023:  16:18:27

many tales in the land of the midnight sun.

Sam McGee was from Tennessee

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 01/24/2023:  11:02:25

via Sheboygan and Oshkosh.

It wasn’t

KyBanjo - Posted - 01/25/2023:  11:44:24

long before they caught on to what was really going on.

Furthermore

chuckv97 - Posted - 01/25/2023:  12:27:56

the escapade took a nasty turn in Saskatchewan.



A blizzard descended on the rapscallions

KyBanjo - Posted - 01/25/2023:  15:19:12

like they had never seen in all their years.

This caused

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 01/26/2023:  10:00:01

major consternation among them.

They recalled Donner Pass

KyBanjo - Posted - 01/26/2023:  10:27:14

and what had happened there.

Seems like

chuckv97 - Posted - 01/26/2023:  13:08:39

a thigh there was a feast to be never forgotten.

I’ve cannonballed off diving boards

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 01/26/2023:  15:55:35

and my swimsuit gets caught in the apparatus.
