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....

#38  Congrats Fred.

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

#37  Congratulations, Fred. A very special time, indeed.
:-)

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

#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.

#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?

#32  TW:

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

#31  Scooter, Fred's gonna be jealous.

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

#12  Example: 'everyone in agreement except parties actually involved in fighting'.

I'm still chuckling over that one.

#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].

#10  Fred? Who is this "Fred" you keep talking about?
Posted by: Seafarious   2006-08-13 10:37  

#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.

Maybe we'll be treated to a morning and evening edition just like in olden times!
Posted by: DanNY   2006-08-13 08:49

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

LOL!
