Has anybody here seen ...

First Look Out Lehigh Valley quietly closed shop and went poof. Then Mr. Brown packed up his $900 manbag and left the neighborhood. Now Chris Casey has turned into a dolphin and paddled off into the sunset -- before finishing his Ed-ipus Rex. My favorites list has become obsolete. Soon there will be only Bernie and stories about mayors eating live babies and human sacrifiices over at the poliblog. ... Hmm. Live babies. That's just wrong, Mr. Mayor!

Anonymous said...: I'm sorry to see those other blogs dry up and blow away. But I'm glad, though, to see some new people commenting out there. At least the six of us can write blogs and read each other's material. Kind of like some sorry little gang of nerds in high school.
;) Anyone up for some Dungeons and Dragons?; April 11, 2008 at 12:29 PM

Bernie O'Hare said...: There are still 35 local poliblogs and another 23 of a nonpolitical nature for me to eliminate. They're like frickin' dandelions!; April 11, 2008 at 12:58 PM

Angie Villa said...: BernO is correct. There are plenty of local blogs. I believe he has most of them listed at his sidebar.
I'm sure you can find another guy with a "manbag." Try Ken Matthews blog. And there are still plenty of puffer blogs to keep us all happy:D

Sarina, it would be more like TelStar for me.; April 15, 2008 at 11:32 AM
Look Out Lehigh Valley said...: I'm still here. Just not blogging anymore. You can blame the disturbed blog-reader who started sending me emails detailing the many ways he would like to assault me.; April 22, 2008 at 11:56 AM
Chris Casey said...: I'm still around. I'm still posting. Just not at LV Poliblog. I've got other priorities right now. try http://lvconversation.blogspot.com; April 22, 2008 at 12:00 PM
atown-liker said...: Mrs. Dottie: Hey, a good manbag is hard to find. (unless you've got 900 bucks)

CC: I would like to read the rest of Ed. Is it hard to type with fins?

LOLV: That is very disturbing & I am sorry to hear about it. I don't know if you've contacted the police, but it couldn't hurt.; April 22, 2008 at 1:58 PM

Meanwhile ...

... A group of Allentonians has traveled into the past in an attempt to kill the demon Marge before she comes to Allentown and destroys the city. However, they have repeatedly failed in those attempts. They have bungled them so badly, in fact, that they have created an Alternate Timeline in which Marge lives quietly in her chalet in Turkey and calls herself Mrs. Egram, in which she never eats her brother Ronan and in which she becomes a significantly less evil demon than the one that is destroying Allentown in the present. The time travelers -- demon hunter extraordinaire Maximillian A. Bear, his son Max Jr. (formerly the polar bear cub spirit Max), Karl, the Green Guy and Truman (the ghost who was transformed into a flying polar bear rug when he escaped from Marge via the Secret Room time portal) -- find themselves trapped in Alternate Time, having run afoul of the Crows (principally through eating several of them) who previously had assisted in their journeys through time. The time travelers have joined with Mrs. Egram in an attempt to travel to non-Alternate Allentown to stop Marge in the present time, where St. Michael the Archangel struggles with steroid detoxification as he continues to be locked in mortal combat with Marge in the streets of downtown Allentown, which has largely been transformed into a smoldering ruin. Meanwhile still-unemployed super agent Jack Bauer and a small band of followers have traveled to Parallel time to battle a new enemy to heaven itself -- the deceased actor Paul Newman, or so they believe. Newman took control of Parallel heaven and initiated the celestial lockdown protocols, blocking travel to and from Parallel Time. However one portal remains open -- that guarded by the mysterious Old Donovan in a forgotten comfort station deep beneath downtown Allentown. It was believed that Newman seized Parallel Heaven after drugging Jesus with tainted tortilla chips; however, a new story seems to be emerging. The Bauer party, however, has been separated, with Bauer traveling to the Parallel Antarctic Vatican; Atown-Liker ending up in the TV Chef Network Studios, where he is reunited with the Countess of Monaco, who has be retransformed from a sea monster back into a woman who sort of looks like a sea monster; and the Player washing up at Parallel Atown Liker's headquarters. Also, Rudolph and Gen. Trexler have been banished to hell for not answering Old Donovan's questions correctly and Bubbles, the little angel, was banished to the Macungies. Their fates will be determined at some point in a flashback. Meanwhile, Bauer has learned that Newman is not his target. The enemy of heaven is actually the Crows, who are attempting to bring about the Apocalypse through the use of an ancient holy artifact being guarded at the South Pole by Parallel Pope Boneyface. Meanwhile, while in Parallel Time, non-Parallel Atown-Liker was nosing around Parallel Atown-Liker's headquarters where he either had a massive hallucination or was transported to Dickensian London via a Secret Armoire. Meanwhile, the Irish warrior Cuchulainn remains dead after being mortally wounded by Trexler; and the Spanish Armada, led by turncoat Archangel Gabriel, remains quiet after being defeated by an underwater assault by Trexler and the frightening firepower of Santa's Battle Sleigh 1. With the help of Little Ronan (a.k.a. Parallel Time-Alternate Timeline Purgatory Ronan) and [[[Spoiler Alert!]]] Rudolph, Santa recovered sufficiently enough from depression, substance abuse and the death of Prancer to deliver the goods on Christmas. Meanwhile, the fate of Ponzi remains unclear. Previously Newman sent his small dog into Parallel Time to ingratiate himself with President Madoff and to steal Madoff's investment fund. Ponzi was forced into hiding after angering Kevin Bacon, the Muppet Bert and some TV chefs who have vowed to cook and eat him.
