Missing Link “aprehendido” en el césped de la Casa Blanca
(Washington — November, 2017) Las fuerzas de seguridad de la Casa Blanca anunciaron prematuramente la captura del eslabón perdido curiosamente ilusorio el viernes. Aunque parece que el Enlace estaba bajo custodia en cuatro lugares diferentes dentro de fortificaciones construidas apresuradamente en la Casa Blanca
Con solo una silla de playa, una linterna de marinero y vestido con un taparrabos de diseñador, según se informa, el Link escaló una valla de quince pies con facilidad mientras los oficiales seguían direcciones variadas.
“Es como jugar damas chinas sin un chino”, dijo un portero veterano. “Por mi parte, creo que The Link es capaz de cambiar el espacio y salta de una medida aterradora”, prosiguió.
“Lo vi con estos ojos. Él es resistente y de otro mundo a pesar de que puede ser el pegamento que mantiene unida nuestra historia genética “.
Una cuenta de noticias conflictiva lo tiene escapando de la captura y desapareciendo en el Potomac. Una mujer de Maryland dice que vio lo que podría haber sido el Eslabón Perdido cruzando la calle en el Parque Takoma.
Un ex oficial de policía que ahora opera el Centro de Guardería Soggy Bottom en Chinatown dice que vive en un sórdido departamento cercano.
Otras fuentes de inteligencia de alto rango afirman que ha solicitado asilo político en la Embajada de los Etruscos en Virginia.
Esta parece ser la última de una serie de saltos de vallas en la Casa Blanca, aunque es el primer incidente relacionado con el Eslabón Perdido.
No está claro por qué el FBI, la CIA, la Interpol, la KGB, la NRA y una variedad de agencias policiales estatales y locales están tan interesadas en los movimientos de Link, que ha logrado eludirlos a todos en los últimos 20 años. .
“Tal vez el Eslabón Perdido no sabe nada o quizás sabe demasiado”, dijo el sheriff de un condado. “De cualquier manera, su captura pondría una pluma en la gorra de policía de alguien.

INOCULATION REQUIREMENT DROPPED FOR UTAH VISITS
(Nucla) Visitors to the the Beehive State will no longer be required to show proof of vaccines/shots according to the Sturgeon General’s Office at Cahone. The long held practice of preventive health insurance was abandoned after the Twin Cities (Nucla and Naturita) were shown to be reasonably safe.
“They haven’t had a case of leprosy in over 15 years and both communities continue to make strides on Dutch elm disease as well,” said Dr. Simon Lackluster of St. Roscoe’s Clinic in Cahone. “We think it has something to do with uranium tailings,” he mused, “but that’s a very touchy subject.”
The Disappointment Valley Optimist Club has already scheduled a prairie dog pancake supper to celebrate the lifting of the quarantine.
“It was killing our summer tourism,” said one member of the altruistic sect.
Red Soyalle, a Basque chef operating Grady’s Gravy Heaven in Paradox told The Horseshoe that “the gov’ment ought to stay out of the commerce end of things and help with the fly problem around here.”
“I hang fly paper and even give out swatters to every adult diner,” he whined. “Why can’ those little balls of snot open their own restaurant? They could serve (expletive deleted).”
Flies often grow to enormous size here but elected officials are reluctant to blame the problem on radium/uranium tailings (see above).
Visitors from Mars and Telluride are reminded that they are still required to carry a visa when wandering west of Redvale. That’s the document not the plastic.

CB SKI DOME APPROVED BY COMMISSIONERS
(Crested Butte) Construction of the nation’s first Ski Dome is slated to begin in April according to unreliable sources here. Last night’s blanket approval of the expansion by Gunnison County Commissioners was the last stumbling block in what has been a five-year effort secure a permit for the dome.
Over the past few seasons lift ticket prices have increased substantially while improvements have hardly kept pace. Critics of the ski industry, pointing to lucrative use of public property in the ski/real estate formula, say the Department of the Interior should implement lift ticket control like rent control and other programs operating around the country at present.
“The dome will represent these elusive improvements that ski barons keep talking about,” said Melvin Toole, a retired bumpmeister from Pitkin. “Now when people ask why tickets cost so much the lift operators can simply point at the dome.”
Sources at CBMR say the dome, which will cost 3 million dollars to build, will save thousands in snow making expenses and discourage melting due to climate controls turned on at night. The filters imbedded in the ceiling will allow just the right kind of sun into the picture while blocking out the dangerous rays. Skiers can expect perfect conditions every day and plans to operate the lifts 24-hours a day are in the works.
“Wind, blizzards, flat light and frigid temperatures will be a thing of the past,” said Billy Bub Bo Benchmark, a ski area spokesman who courted anonymity. “It will be a lot like going to the mall or skiing on a video game.”
Already local merchants have been invited to place large advertisements on the inner walls of the dome and native trees have been replaced with plastic varieties. The astro-turf arrives Friday.
“The retractable roof lets snow in while keeping many of the negative elements out,” said Benchmark. Three new hotels are planned and a 100-acre parking area has been purchased from the Rocky Mountain Biological Weapons facility at Gothic.”
Construction is expected to be completed by the Fourth of July, unless it snows.
“Now they won’t even have to lie about last night’s accumulations anymore,” said Toole.
“This is fun and exciting,” said Benchmark. “We just hope nobody runs into a wall.” – Suzie Compost
Missouri Exhibitionist Demands Diplomatic Immunity
(Montrose) A Missouri man, in custody for allegedly exposing himself to the local ladies’ gardening club over the weekend, has claimed diplomatic immunity in his defense.
Citing his state’s slogan; Show Me, Horace Moon insists he is innocent on all accounts.
“Mr. Moon was well within his state constitutional rights at the time of the incident,” said attorney Beatrice Buffe of Denver. “He was only adhering to his patriotic duty as he saw it. His vindication is simply a matter of time and, of corpse, my legal fees.”
The garden gathering feels differently. According to the police report, Moon jumped a seven-foot trellis, shattered an expensive bird bath and frightened three small dogs before dropping his britches to his knees and scowling at the perfumed assemblage.
“Then he began chanting, jumping up and down and screeching a distorted variation of the Rebel Yell,” said Marguerite Worthington Bulbous (of the Riverbottom Bulbouses). “I know that yell when I hear it. My father employed the spine-tingling scream it every night when he hit the hay with mother.”
Bulbous, a long-term member of the Unwed Daughters of the Confederacy, went on to say that the petunia crop would probably not survive another monsoon while tougher flowers like pansies and marigolds would suffer hardships in the case of a drought but would live on to fight another day.
Moon, a native of Lamar (also the birthplace of Harry Truman) is known to be “as stubborn as a Missouri mule” according to close friends. A former scout for the St Louis Cardinals, his extracurricular trench coat activities have plagued him since childhood.
Currently incarcerated at the local calaboose, Moon sits defiantly, alone and without remorse in his orange tear-away jumpsuit. At press time the Show Me State has refused pleas to pay his bail, set at $25,000. His trial is set for sometime after Christmas.
