Saint Roscoe Appears at Blue Mesa

(Gunnison) Saint Roscoe, the patron of recreational vehicles, reportedly dropped in on some unsuspecting campers on the shores of Blue Mesa yesterday. Dressed in the sky blue leisure suit that has become his trademark, Roscoe called for the creation of an autonomous state where summer would last all year long and gasoline would sell for 15 cents per gallon.

     He also urged RV manufacturers to build bigger and better vehicles and for toy poodles to be recognized as minor deities and respected as such.

     After promising to return, he disappeared.

     Readers may recall that Saint Roscoe has made several house calls to Colorado casinos and bingo halls over the past few years. His message remains a constant one of chronic consumption.

     “We are spending the planet’s inheritance,” he has often said.

     Parapsychologists remain baffled as to any explanation for these sightings but agree that the special effects are quite impressive.

     “It reminds me of a Wayne Newton concert,” said one scientist, “with the exception that Roscoe is some 30 pounds lighter than the `Newt.'”
