Hey Larry  Thanks for the flashback. Now, I need to find a carousel. I still remember how scared I was, the first time I rode solo. Write on......  |

I’ll tell you Kronk, back in the day I didn’t need a carousel to witness spinning animals that were chasing each other’s tails. I won’t even go to a parking lot carnival because of those past adventures. Plus I think I saw a carny at the ring toss booth that looked an awful lot like Hekler…..  |

Hey Larry Ahhh, yes; "Parking Lot Carnival." When I was a child, again, in the twentieth century, we called those a "Street Fair." Of course, I always wanted to play the "games of skill," but never had any extra coin. I mean, I "had" to have my cotton candy. Anyway, once, my dear Aunt Dell, gave me a whole dollar to waste and I paid some rough looking chick, a whole ten cents, to toss three plastic rings at a wooden bowling pin. "The Force," or something, must have been with me, `cause all three rings landed onto the neck of one pin. Of course, I was so excited that I could hardly stand it. I was eyeing a wooden pop rifle, or a rubber knife, or, at least a teddy bear. So what does she hand me? An oversized, amber colored, ash tray. What? No one in the family smoked, so I ended up selling the ashtray to my cheap "Uncle Shot." I asked for six cents, so I could buy myself a soda. That skin flint tried to get me to settle for a nickel, but I held firm and actually got an extra penny out of him. The extra penny got me a handful of candy coated peanuts. |

Ah yes, street fairs, they come and go …but the memories live on. Surely our parents / guardians knew what we didn’t. But allowed us some fun anyway. I figure those events in a young life would prepare you to avoid the three card Monty or a game involving loaded dice. I thank that carny at the ring toss booth for scaring me out of my last ten cents so I could go buy a pack or two of baseball cards. |

Hey Larry L.E.D., here: I am worried about Hekler. He's usually all over your "Joke of the week," but is conspicuous by his absence, this week. There's a vicious rumor going around, in certain circles, that Hekler took a position in Kabul, Afghanistan. (Logistics: something to do with introducing poutine to the populace) Things are getting a bit "hairy" out there and I was wondering if you'd heard anything about our friend? kronk---The president of the United States of America, is doing a press conference, later today. He could "possibly" shed some light on the fate of our friendly contractors. L.E.D.---You mean Joe "blow all your money" Biden? kronk---The one, and only. L.E.D.---Ugh! |

Kronk, L.E.D., I have been getting alot of static on my shortwave and some of the locals down Fouke, Arkansas are saying that the Bigfoot tribe of Boggy Creek are leaving in droves to catch the next plane to Kabul. A fool is giving away poutine by the barrel over there. Keep you updated. |

...I can laugh at the guy drunk on the carousel. I got wasted at the zoo when I got the same thing happening to me. The happy ending was that my halitosis was so bad, nothing wanted to get any closer. I've sold my breath to bear repellent manufacturers.  |

There you are! Kronk and I were about to put out a “ Silver Alert” here at USM. I guess the secret to your halitosis lies in your poutine recipe eh? Not going toKabul anytime soon? |

...and, for your information, that wasn't a "ring toss booth". You had fallen into the water again and they were attempting to throw you a life preserver. Better stick to the Shirley Temples next time. |

Yeah , and I take it the megaphone announcing your presence was more towards the food court? How are you at deep fried poutine? |

...I'm going to mail you some poutine one day. It should complement the carp sushi I'll be sending at the same time. Dig in! |

...did I write "carp sushi"? I think I made a typo in the first word. |

...before I forget, I should thank you and Kronk for your concerns as to my welfare. HOWEVER, you need not put out a Silver alert. The two of you are not Roy and Dale and I am not a horse. You should spend your time more wisely. Have you thought about looking for Lassie instead? Check your toilet...maybe you can reconnect with Flipper after all these years. |

I find it funny that you used poutine and ( typo not withstanding) carp in the same sentence. Freudian slip…….. Just pointing that out for you Mr. R. Soleo….. |

Actually, it was L.E.D., that was more concerned than the rest of us. I figured you packed your Hov- A- Round with plenty of Black Beards Booty and motivational flash cards endorsed by Betty White to last you on your Senior moment you call a weekend. BTW, how was the Bob Ross seminar? |

Hekler Good to read you, amigo. L.E.D. was actually beside himself, when you failed to respond to the "JOTW." He even sent a message to the vice president of the United States, asking her to reactivate his security clearance and send him to Pakistan. He's "over there," now, (DC) working out the "details. I tried ringing Kamala to let him know that you were safe, but the line was disconnected. Anyway, he'll be back, eventually. Hey Larry is undoubtedly the "Ranger," as I am "alone," again. L.E.D. is in our nation's capital and "the wife" is in Chicago, getting dried out....er, eh, I mean, she's visiting her sick grandmother, in Ireland. |
