"Oh, great. He's passed out into his vest. Is that a bad tooth or gum in your jaw?"

A Randy of Conyers, the Dakota Fanning Capitol of the World, forwards a press item.

"Fantagraphics Books is pleased to announce that it has acquired the rights to publish a comprehensive series comprising Walt Kelly's classic POGO comic strip. The first volume of Fantagraphics' POGO will appear in October, 2007, and the series will run approximately 12 volumes, reproducing roughly two years of dailies and Sundays per volume."

After a reel or two had passed, little Lisa whined, "Mama, change the channel."
"TV star Sherman Hemsley (George Jefferson) says that he was rescued from the grip of a suicidal depression by the ghost of Sammy."
