Now everybody, as we approach the canyon wall, the updraft will gently lift us up and over the edge and then we can set down on the other side. By the way, did I tell you earlier that we can process insurance cover for anyone who might be interested.

There's plenty of room for humor, I just can't put it together. Where is the burner? Is this photo altered? Maybe a crack about political conversations are becoming a green fuel source. So there's this politician hitching a ride on a balloon full of hippies...

Well first I heard this whistle sound that kind of wavered, ya know. Then a shadow came over us.

And then "Bobs' Weiner Wagon" just started floating up toward this saucer thing!

Dam Irish again, Well, I am glad he's found a profession he's good at as a shadow artist, other than his record from his last occupation as a boxer, which was 0-99-0

Yeah ole McGintey didn't have much luck as a boxer but I heard he had a great sideshow act driving nails into concrete blocks before he got the shadow puppet gig going.

It's going to be a tough season in the shadow artist arena with ole Clubhands in the mix!

During a recent expedition in search if ancient wall art, a discovery was made that brought into question long held opinions as to the sophistication of the ancients. An inscription near the display was painstakingly translated to read "Yaa hoo". It is considered that this is the name of one of their prime God.
