This website has evolved from the comedic newspaper, the San Juan Horseshoe, without the printing bill, the dirty ink and the days of distributing to six mountain counties. Now we be circulating the globe with a click of a mouse! Why just the other day we received an email from a man in Luang Prabang wanting to borrow a cup of rice. Back in May a woman in Bilbao sent us a naughty Basque Valentine. Just last night a frantic river rafter called from the Nile. She was all wet and needed a towel which we sent immediately. You can too!

As with all endeavors we need the support of readers like you who enjoy this kind of tepid balderdash, this barking up the family tree, this adverbial tempo, this inconsequential endorsement of what is sacred and what is silly. Thank you for letting us drink expensive whiskey and sleep late in the golden years.

Failed stand-up comedians, rascal politicians, self-proclaimed celebrities and the opinionated moron next door appearing inside these pages fly Excelsior Airlines, The Airlines Without Chairs, in return for dumpster donuts, casual sex and free wedding announcements.

Editor’s note: We will survive the three-pronged embarrassment suffered by our poorly inoculated editorial staff forcibly escorted out of the Fortune 500 Fish Fry held at the Elves Club last Friday.

Editor’s Coroner

All right then it’s settled. One more healthy nip of Oh Be Joyful here and we’re off to the plaza to write this column.

I’ve been living at 7,000 feet in a beautiful village in the Andes: I penciled myself out of the office until 2028. That should give Congress as chance to come to its senses, hurling season to begin and my peach trees time to mature.

Here in Colombia we get a lot of rain but it’s very green and mangos are cheap. It’s just one of those things…the march toward general insanity moves on.

And as the old Russian saying goes:

“Yes, the Czar will still eat his pork chops.”

My neighbor down the road is a mess this morning. Her cat got pregnant on Valentine’s Day and her dog attacked an innocent grandma on the road in front of her house. I’m not saying my neighbor is stupid but she’s the kind who would get married just because wedding gowns were on sale.

Front Line Love: My last three girlfriends were artists and while that’s fine the next time I think I’ll look for a plumber, an electrician or maybe a welder.

Villa Arepa is still at Level 45 or 6 nobody knows what it means but…local man, Conor Sturgeon appears to have written himself into his own screen play and all that remains are his notes, his navy Annapolis t-shirt and his tan, tight-woven chinos. As many of you might have already guessed, Mr Sturgeon still refuses to wear underwear, even to funerals.

The scene in town was tense as roads gathered after a monkey truck crashed into a chiva blocking roads in and out of town for hours. Coffee (the best in the world) was swilled by all.

And in lifting the drawbridge of eternal annoyances: Do old farts secretly like it when their pants fall down in public?

The answer lies in the lyrics of this old World War I tune:

When Was young I couldn’t keep my pants on.

Now that I’m old I can’t keep them up.

For the first one you just add charm,

the second one only suspenders

Here are some mighty thoughts and local headlines:

Not much news here, but we’ll make every effort to frighten you anyway.

GOP leader says: Biden’s Controversial NO TV in July Ban – experiment in productivity by state – is really a clandestine move in a a plot to take your guns.

Planet Earth is the ultimate example of bipolar behavior – There is no sense to it but it is damn well systematic. Spinning. More spinning on the axis of inconsistency. The concept of “aggravated gravity” summoned from deep beneath Earth’s inner core. Watch out!

Readers write: How does one manage “getting all katywompus” on demand?

When will we undresses the embarrassing lack of public toilets in US – with ascending ages and virus precautions…”You can tell a lot about a culture by the way it treats its bladders,” according to one incumbent latrine commissioner:

“Of all the ham-handed, butter-fingered, tight fisted, limp- wrist, thumb-nosing platitudes…buried deep in the dark, hidden vaults of fuel-saving carburetors and cures for cancer this lack of priority takes the urinal cake. Have we no respect for local flora?

New Study indicates: Cookies and milk not good before bed- Fat, phlegm, digestion, sugar, premature silliness all add up to poor sleep. You were lied to again like with Dr Pepper, Velveta cheese and Jimmy Dean sausage. Remember: Alternative cookies and milk can be made from recycled cardboard and hearts of sagebrush.

FLASH! County urban planners have found no connection whatsoever in the diminished police presence and the closure of a Colona donut enterprise in Ouray County’s Third Economic Zone.

The United States Department of Transportation has no plans to bring back the railroad despite all the diplomatic wind and talk of revamping the domestic infrastructure.

In Sports Excess: The Fighting Capons have again castigated the hapless Colona hurling squad. Often downtrodden due to the lack of corporate sponsorship in the backwater of the county the team has now come under the scrutiny of three coaches who fall short of calling foul…or even fowl. Harshly criticizing The Fighting Capons, winners of the Pre-Minstrel League, were sports figures from Billy Jean McQueen to Harv Stoneberry who pledged never again to play out “overtly dramatic and tedious henhouse matches” with the Capons.

Gateway Man Accused of Selling Submarine Secrets to Red Chinese He’s been under a lot of financial pressure since the news surfaced that his formerly lauded great grandfather who lost his entire command as well as a chest of medals and his flumed canteen during a skirmish with French irregulars near Djibouti in 1940, had terminated his extortionate trust fund as of March 2022. Later this entire episode will be translated during to a series of painful ankle bites allegedly received from a person of interest on the dance floor while the band played “Carry Me Back to Old Hominy”

And what’s this? A note (sans perfume) slipped under my door just now “Land the plane Mel…Land the damn plane.” I’ll just file it with the mounds of fan mail we received each week. Now where did I leave my morning panatella?

Indications are that 5th Columnist Yoke animals longingly await the coming of space creatures “Things couldn’t be much worse” many conclude. Conspiracy theories abound within embracing pastoral superstitions. You drive by and watch them eating grass all day. Sure they are. You think they spend the whole day bent over like that just eating? They are decoding messages from outer space, stupid.

Classic Recipe for Grilled Capybara Misplaced but speaking of consumption … It’s either cow or car. Future choices will include the rejection of basic staples of our lives. Does this mean fossil fuel or red meat?

*****

On my hope of heaven, you can rest assured that the above copy has been throroughly researched, qualified and distilled at least four times right in front of the cocktail onions and crushed ice.

From a cross-section of the above stories: One might even think that…but au contraire, the world is still here outside my flowered veranda this morning. Look. Those are the same mule deer that were here yesterday.

Bonus question:

Peewits: They are a subfamily of medium-sized wading birds which also includes the plovers and dotterels. The Vanellinae are collectively called lapwings but also contain the ancient red-kneed dotterel. A lapwing can be thought of as a larger plover.

A REAL BARN BURNER

Once upon a time, in 1890s Colona, a farmer’s barn caught fire and burned down. It was total loss and, although the farmer managed to get his livestock to safety he lost a good deal of hay and assorted implements to the blaze.

The next day an entourage of neighbors and friends was on the site, tools and lumber in hand, set on rebuilding the barn.

“He’d do it for us,” was what they were saying. “It’s the right thing to do.”

In a matter of hours the new barn was framed out and everyone sat down for a delicious barbecue cooked by the farmer and his wife. They paid for all the food with money they had saved from selling two hogs in the fall. The next day all the people returned and completed the barn. Then they stood back and admired their work. The barn looked even better than the old one. They went home to their families feeling good about themselves and their community.

Then in 2020 another barn caught fire and burned down. It too was a total loss and although the farmer managed to get his livestock out safely he lost everything else.

The next day his neighbors gathered at the site of the fire saying, “I hope he had insurance” and “The insurance will cover it.” Some of them suggested that he had not ample coverage and called him a fool. “There’s nothing we can do…If he didn’t have enough sense to buy insurance it’s his own fault.”

Later that day after fighting with an insurance company the farmer realized that nobody was planning to help him out. In addition he was informed that although his insurance would cover the blaze, his rates would then skyrocket. Still nobody stopped by to offer any help. The insurance would cover it.

Remember the barbecue that the farmer and his wife presented back in 1890? Well, forget it in 2020. They wouldn’t have the money anyway. It was spent on insurance premiums.

For days following the fire, residents drove by the site shaking their heads wondering if the barn would be rebuilt and just what had gone wrong with their society. It seems that people had lost respect for each other. The kids were on a collision course with the future and people just didn’t seem to be as happy as they were a few years ago.

Local Man Claims to Have Viewed “Great Attractor”

(Crested Butte) An amateur astronomer claims to have seen what scientists are calling the “Great Attractor” in the winter skies above Snodgrass Mountain. Earl MacAdoo was out walking his grossly overweight Peloponnesian Setter on Friday night when all of a sudden he felt what he called a vigorous gravitational pull, coupled with an offensive aroma, emanating from the north. Upon closer examination he “noticed a huge region of cosmic matter hovering in the sky as if awaiting the right victim in a celestial mugging.”

MacAdoo fell back. His dog began barking at the sky and a cold chill invaded his bones. He quickly retreated to his pickup and headed back to town where he informed the authorities of his precarious experience.

Stories of UFOs, and reports of the abnormal are as common as coal in these parts as any longtime resident will tell you. The village police, although feigning interest in his strange story were too busy chasing dogs and cruising snowboarder bars to respond. They promised to patrol the area the next night. MacAdoo went to the bar and shared his story with the town’s swilling element that passed the word along the next day on the street.

“The Great Attractor is real,” said Dr. Simon Lackluster of Rocky Mountain Biological Weapons Laboratory at Gothic. “Whether MacAdoo saw the thing or not is important. We scientists have been closely watching the critter for some time. We have even spotted a massive galaxy cluster that appears to be at the Great Attractor’s core. It looks a lot like frantic skiers trying to force their way onto a Mountain Express bus at 4:30.”

One retired television meteorologist from Moline doesn’t agree.

“I’ve met that MacAdoo person downtown and I think most of us realize he’s nothing more than a common drunk in a ten-gallon hat. That boy didn’t see any galaxy cluster or even an alien craft,” he sneered. “I have conferred with one of the investigating officers and we have reason to believe that what MacAdoo saw was nothing more than a Sunshine Garbage Truck in full descent.”

After assigning a top reporter to the story The Horseshoe has determined that Sunshine Garbage does in fact maintain a regular night shift in the vicinity of Snodgrass Mountain. This disclosure has set off shock waves all the way to Gunnison as concerned residents, already suspicious of ski area expansion plans there are asking “Who is driving the truck?”

MacAdoo was contacted early Wednesday morning assuring all in earshot that he saw what he saw and that he can “damn sure tell the difference” between a galaxy cluster and a garbage truck.
