Got a new screensaver pic...

Two young penguins, both cackling, as one points to something going on outside of the frame with it's wing.

Has anyone heard from Al?

The great Alluvial O. Fansome of CalTech fame and knob aficionado, of course. He was married to Svetlana Putin for a short while. Now he dates a couple of twins and a manatee he swears is Belinda Carlisle. The manatee does sound a bit like Belinda caterwauling when it hits the high notes and does a nice version of "Vacation". He tends to wander into the swamps looking for "Belinda" after the twins are asleep and is always getting swallowed by gators.

Then there are the penguins. Don't ask him about the penguins. Al suffers from PTSD, (Penguin Traumatic Stench Disorder), after falling into a tank of penguin droppings as a small child at Marineland. He thinks it gave him, and I quote, "brain bubbles".

BTW, he has his own howitzer. Pretty sweet, eh?

I'm not the one who got swallowed by the gator, ranted about flocks of venomous flying penguins circling his house, and claimed he had a GF and S.O. at the same time am I? I didn't keep Capt. Ron in a box, nor did I stand in front of my house with a paper bag over my head hoping a certain radio pirate would come pick me up, did I?

You've been riding my coattails to fame and fortune for years, Fanny. Now you're lashing out in your old age, pointing fingers at the one Pirate who saved you from the Bunny Lynch Mob. For shame, Alluvial, for shame!

BTW, you still owe me 25.90$ for the Mormon wedding undies for the twins. No checks; Money orders or Western Union cash transfers only, Bub.

Now, back to the peanut gallery where I found you.

I don't need you for fame and fortune. I made a big investment ln Sears a few years ago, and I have a feeling my ship is about to come in. you won't have Al to kick around anymore.

Good. I won't have to correct you on your numerous grammatical and spelling errors, such as "investment 'In' Sears". Not capitalizing "You" at the beginning of the final sentence was a doozy. Three short lines, two third grade mistakes. Pathetic.

I'm swapping you back to Captain Ron for a used snow blower. They're half as loud and not nearly as dense as you.

BTW, Al made a killing on that Sears play. He hit the dead cat bounce when some nimrod decided to buy up the remaining Sears and K-Marts on 12/31. He's up three dollars and thirty eight cents after taxes.

The downside is the FTC wants to talk to him about insider trading for blabbing it all over the interwebs in the days leading up to the deal. The poor guy can't win.

I got a new one the other day w/ a pic of a large flock of King Penguins. Two days later a boat showed up in the background. Tonight it was just well fed penguins nesting on North Face parkas. Hmm...

Pigmeat, I see nothing has changed in the 18 years I’ve been around. By the way Al, I just logged a pirate on the Kenwood TS 440.

You've got to keep him on a short leash.

He'll be happy to hear you logged a pirate on that TS-440. It has knobs.

BTW, didn't he tell you that transceiver was "working just fine" when he sold it to you? You've got to watch him every second.

Good to see you around, don't be a stranger.
