The dilemmas of Little Turtle

"Now who's gonna drive me to choir practice?" laments Little Turtle to no one in particular after learning that Medium Turtle and Big Turtle have taken the family car out for a joy ride.

Mamie Van Striker - skid row enthusiast

"The trouble now-a-days, is there's too much trouble now-a-days."

Mamie Van Stricker

Mamie Van Striker, founder of the Free Z. Glee Club, was a woman obsessed with joy and good cheer. Using only a metal folding chair and a bull whip, Ms. Van Striker often entertained her flock for hours on end. "It don't matter if you was president of General Motors or a blind vagrant, Ms. Mamie always have a kind word and a warm cup of Bee Tea waitin' fer youse" chirps Cherry Woodhead, a local street player and weekend alley roller. Although her home-made Bee Tea caused rashes and paralysis for many patrons, Mamie Van Striker will mostly be remembered for her feelgood attitude.

Adventures with Charcoal and Wash

If only!

If only I had cashed this cheque:

I could've gotten my laundry out of hock.

I'd been able to hire a hired hand to hire the ambitious, wayward child of a hired hand to clear the weeds away from my shack lot.

I'd have eaten fine lunches for the month of August.

I wouldn't have had to resort to a series of felonious deeds with my knife wielding gun moll.

A disgruntled,

Abram Ovicci

Tucky Tips

SAFE is a four letter word

With winter closing in, be sure you have a straw hat and a reliable set of maracas in your trunk.
