Well this mystery might be harder to solve than some of you thinkā¦. (ahem)If ONLY there was a swab anā de-boner investigator that would help solve this dilemma, before Chetās ship is sunk..!!I hear tell there may be a famous inspector that specializes in such ponderous predicamentsā¦ Hmmmm, does that RING A BELL???
Monkey! Why have you gone undercover?Oh dearā¦. now Iāll worry that all the attention from my song scared you.Please say it isnāt so!
BTW very glad you seemed to like the dittyā¦ I do hope you read the run-up to it the day before as I donāt want to take full creditā¦Mrs. Beviek discovered that "MON..KEYā¦ BLUES fit the tune of the āMickey Mouse club songā and asked me to write some lyricsā¦which Iām still working onā¦I think thereās a special proclamati ā¦ oh dear, I hope thatās not a secretā¦No, it canāt be, as she mentioned it publicly herself back thenā¦whew!

Iām sure theyāll want me back when those completely unfounded (do you hear me, Peggy Ann Randolph?) rumors die down.Hmpff.
But speaking of history, if you have a long dress and some bloomers or pantaloons I hear they still need pioneer ladies on the floatā¦.(a float that I helped design, Miss Peggy-Know-It-All!)I, of course, will be far too busy selling brownies and other goodies, along with balloons, at the Essex60 Search Mission fundraising table, alongside Mrs. Beviek.Great idea, Bev! BTW we have had several generous donations since I posted the total reward money on handā¦we now have $14.63!
Phuh Kneesā¦ Yes! Bev promised to bake themā¦.Pricing is yet to be decided upon, but all proceeds go towards the search for our missing friend Essexā¦balloons, posters, and a reward for successful information as to his whereabouts.Plus any expenses encountered by Insp.

WE donāt have the money quite yet, butā¦. )Mind you, phuh knees, Mrs. Beviek is a rather proper ladyā¦donāt be expecting the extra ingredients you might find in them if DogSniff or Inspector Monkeyblues were entrusted with the bakingā¦which is why they are notā¦.this being a public event.Canāt be too careful!That somehow reminds meā¦x_Tech!I saw what you did to my friend Beviekās post with those āāāāāsā¦Tsk Tsk.Iāll have you know that I can vouch for her passing out being perfectly legitimateā¦I mean when a person blows up about three dozen balloons after downing four piā¦ ohā¦umā¦ never mind.

Iām just sitting here anticipating that hollow boink sound that comes from inflated rubber toys like playground balls and innertubes Whe they collide with that iceberg. Brings back so many happy memories of recess at Oakland School, of trips to Indiana Beach, and winter vacations on Englewood Beach in Florida from my childhood. Of course those memories will fade instantly when the dog starts barking orders about lifeboats and women and puppies first.
Reminds me of a very funny scene in the anime mitsudomoe zouryouchuu. A girl who is afraid of the water goes to a water park and is floating in a tube like this. And just as she relaxes and starts to enjoy it, she floats by a string quartet playing āNearer my god to theeā, the tube starts to leak and then sinks.http://youtu.be/S3dWYvnXMXc?t=1m40s
@ LinguistāDo you take farthings?āā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦No. U.S. currency only. And gold and silver ingots. And Amazon River piranha teeth necklaces, antique browsers (pre-IE8 only), and also any animal suits (except cow suits).
Given Betty Whiteās recent growth in popularity, we are watching the trading card market with interest. Barry Manilowās Greatest Hits are always a big seller at the Ballard St. Flea Market and Car Wash, but still hasnāt surpassed Frank Zappaās āWeasels Ripped My Fleshā. Our resident Vintage Vinyl dealer, Dogsniff might be the one to contact when it comes to music collections. Scuttlebut is that he is the foremost Zappa expert.
With the celebrity endorsement of none other than Christopher Walken, I foresee another retail site opening in the near future. I donāt see how weāll be able to keep the ba (darn!) bells in stock!
Did the Essex60 Search Mission fundraising group receive the t-shirts yet? I hope this helps your effort.If I donāt pick up when you call, please leave a message, and I will return your call first thing in the morning.
Our little Miss Susan seems to be missing, I havenāt seen her pretty smile all dayā¦ Iām worried I may have offended her earlierā¦. Iāll go make my roundsā¦ Iāll check back laterā¦.
