BS: The RCMP needs your assistance

If anyone out there in all the small towns and villages across rural Canada see an industrial grey colored 1950 DeSoto sedan with a monkey wearing a pork pie hat at the wheel, sorta lookin like Dexter Gordon and some guy in the passegner seat,sorta lookin' like bob Dylan, please contact the RCMP immediately. They are very dangerous copycats and must be apprehended immediately for the sake of public sanity.

For a moment I thought someone was trying to finger Chongo, but it can't be him. He's an ape. He gets really mad when people call him a monkey.

I can understand why they need assistance: the rule is (as defined in the BNA Act I believe) that the Mounties Always Get Their Man. Nothing in the rule book about monkeys.

Yet another Canadian "road" film in the making?

Have no fear! The copycat police are on the case!

Dedicated to the eradication of copycat threads everywhere, they'll call the thread "stoopid" and "dumbass". Then they'll rail about the waste of the precious bandwidth, the most valuable comodity known to man, which is becoming increasingly rare as several of the major bandwidth mines in North Dakota have recently been completely mined out.

Thr RCMP would be well-advised to just step aside and let the real pros handle this one.

A farmer from just outside Midhurst Ontario phoned the RCMP this morning to say he saw 2 individuals that matched the suspect's description, trying to dress a ghost up as a goat out in his fields. The 2 immediatatly scadoodled into their car and took of when the farmer approached them.

Police throughout the midwestern United States are reporting sporadic outbreaks of violence in public libraries and Internet cafés as irate forum posters have descended upon them en masse chanting "Death to the infidel copycats!" and "There is no thread but The One True Thread!"

Officials in California have cancelled vacations for all emergency personnel in anticipation of the unrest heading their way. An un-named police official in Humboldt County was heard to remark, "These weirdos out here don't really need a reason to get slap-happy. This copycat stuff'll be as good a reason as any. Lock and load, boys!"

Latest on our 2 favourite copycat felons ... A Tim Horton's just outside of Midland Ontario recently reported 2 suspicious characters sauntering in and asking for a prune Danish ... when the Tim Horton's employe apologized about not having any, they became rather agitated, the Bob Dylan looking guy shouted 'loosers' to everyone and then they ran out.

A spokesman for the RCMP wanted to assure the public that they are on the trail of these 2 exterme copycats and they will soon be apprehended. Copycats have to be stopped for the sake of public sanity, and we have to come down hard, real hard on the likes of these he added.

In a press release from United Bandwidth Mining and Processing, Inc., company officials are attempting to reassure the Web-using public that bandwidth supplies are adequate for foreseeable usage forecasts.

Said company spokesperson Miriam Mountcastle:

"While it's true that a few bandwidth mines in the Dakotas have been mined out, we are doing everything within our power to assure that supplies remain at or exceed current levels. We are actively negotiating import deals with a number of countries where bandwidth supplies are high. We have contracted for the construction of a fleet of bandwidth supertankers to handle the expected influx of foreign bandwidth. Meanwhile, our experimental studies centered around extracting usable bandwidth from seawater are continuing and are beginning to show real promise."

In other news, the Bush administration has offered full assistance to Canadian authorities in their search for the elusive bandwidth-wasting copycats. In an afternoon press conference, presidential spokesman Brett Bagnutz said, in part, that plans are in action to convert the terrorist holding facilities at Guantanamo Bay into a copycat detention center "just as soon as we can get those pesky terrorists out of there".

Last spring Boy George and Tiny Tim impersonators tiptoed through the tulips in front of the lodge at ST. Andrews By The Sea , New Brunswick. They caused considerable damage to the flowerbed and the RCMP have been hot on the case ever since. When RCMP Inspector Hackattack was interviewed by ATV news he stated that number 6 had a strong alibi and was no longer a leading suspect.

It's true, on the day at issue I was most certainly in Saint Andrews By the Sea, but at the time in question I can be seen (on video) in a New Brunswick Liqour Board store loading up a cart of numerous flats of Moosehead beer.

gnu and Talahouse were also in Saint Andrews that very day and caused quite a stir with the local teenagers by being mistaken as Boy George and Tiny Tim.

BTW, Inspector RCMP Hackattack is currently up on corruption charges.

How do the Mounties get those flashing blue and red lights to work on their horses? I know the dogsleds have 12 volt batteries.

The flashing blue and red lights don't have to work, actually. It's to let the drivers know which side of the vehicle to enter. Same for the dogsleds and horses.

Members of the RCMP have been spotted hovering and loitering around the Legion Hovel here. When, in a rare display of cooperation, representatives of the local police, the country sheriff's office, the Secret Service and the FBI approached the RCMP and asked what was going on they were told that "a load of contraband Labatt's and Moosehead" was suspected. They satisfied the US authorities that their mission was condoned by the US Department of Justice as part of an international counter-terrorism pact between Canada and the US.

One member of the local police suggested that wearing scarlet coats and Smokey-Bear hats while on horseback on stake-out wasn't good police practice, but the FBI and the Secret Service could find nothing wrong with it.

Visitors to the Legion Hovel have been using the side door.

NEWSFLASH!!!


An organization (and we use the word loosely) calling themselves the "Monkey See, Monkey Do Brigade" ("MSMD Brigade" for short) has claimed responsibility for the kidnapping of Mudcat moderator Joe Offer and several of his "clones". They are being held at a Holiday Inn Express in Toledo, Ohio. The location was chosen "because it's the only place we could imagine that's worse than Guantanamo" according to one MSMD Brigade member.

As of this writing, a list of demands has yet to be compiled by the MSMD Brigade, but several members are indicating that "Yo! Lighten up, dude!" will be first on the list.

In a related story, an organization calling themselves the "Microsoft Must Die Brigade" ("MSMD Brigade" for short... sound familiar?) has filed suit against the Monkey See, Monkey Do Brigade for copyright and trademark infringement.

Latest communication from the MSMD Brigade is that they will consider freeing Joe Offer once he reverses Peace's breach of probation in the 'copycat' charge.

Meanwhile back in Alberta Peace has issued the following statement ... "doesn't matter what Juvenile Detention centre they decide to throw me in due to my breach of probation, I got some friends about that will help me bust out".

As sIx pointed out, I was in Saint Andrew's by the Sea on the day in question. Unfortunately, I wasn't at the liquor store and the, ah, er, farmers I visited in the near, mountainous regions close to the Maine border do not allow video or still cameras near their, ah, er, farms.

On a related note, an eight hour stand-off occured yesterday on West Main Street in Moncton. A gunman walked into the Econolodge Hotel Bar and ordered the janitor and the barkeep out. Then, he drew down on a VLT (Video Lottery Terminal) player and said, "I was playing that machine before I went for a piss and you saw me put my beer on that stool. Get the fuck away from MY machine." The patron obliged, but is thought to have exited rather than moving to another VLT.

RCMP rushed to the scene and cordoned off the area. They, of course, ended the police line just before Tim Horton's. And,yup, it's true, set up a Media Control Centre in Tim's. (As if they needed the extra business.) The standoff ended with a surrender and no shots fired. I figure, either buddy ran out of coin for the VLT, or Tim's ran out of doughnuts for the Queen's Cowboys.

Boy George? Maybe with some makeup and a fashionable hat.

It is said that some of the best crops in Canada come from those Yankee Draft dodger farms. They also keep the Queen's Cowboys saddled up and busy.

I do know that one of those expatriate Yankee's has a grain/grist mill and makes superb organic flour (and that is the truth).

Insp. Hackattack has been cleared of all corruption charges except for taking free Tim Horton doughnuts at several NB outlets. For that he was demoted to constable and spent 3 months following the Musocal Ride with a pushbroom. He was then assigned to Carmanville Newfoundland with orders to re-open and solve the cold case file of the Aunt Martha's Sheep murder. When that is complete he will return to NB to investigate grow opps in them thar hills. He is really pissed off at number 6 and his friends as he suspects them of finking on him about Tim Hortons. He says it was a "red herring" to get him off of the St Andrews Tulip Bed case. He says if he catches you guys smoking tulip petals or anything stronger you'll all be invited by The Queen to vacation at Dorchester Castle.

Don't use spit, use water, cotton balls, and lots and lots and lots and lots of time.

Or use Kiwi "Honor Guard" instant spit shine, but don't let your sergeant catch you.
