The REAL story of the Dinner Party that shook the Gorge.....

john barry · 2021-11-29T16:13:55Z

*****Look who`se come for dinner...Part II**** As news travels rather quickly in the Trailer Park environs, word of Shrek and Snow White`s planned debauchery ran like wildfire. It had made it`s way around the camper sites for a full three revolutions before Mark Trail could tight-lace his Doc Martins and hop in the big red Jeep. His hounds and tactical gear were all stowed in back….As Mark was wont to say: “A place for everything and everything in its place” Mark had many other sayings, yet was down to just a handful of acquaintances that would still tolerate listening to them Mark’s niece, Patricia, would be coming along tonight, literally riding shotgun.Patricia was painfully aware that she was “overscale”….but deep inside, even she knew that scale adherence, like common courtesy and personal grooming, held no sway in the Snow/Shrek way of life They went in. They did what had to be done When questioned later at an impromptu news conference, Trade was asked why only three elves had been rescued when aerial reconnaissance had indicated a larger presence. Mark wearily explained, for the umpteenth time : “we got what looked to be one of each “kind” “y`know,so they wouldn’t go extinct” No mention was made regarding the “mishap” with Mark`s wolfhound, nor would it EVER be spoken of. In a rare display of prideful bravado, Mark actually flashed the “O” symbol at the bevy of local newshounds who had come out for the story. ”What’s that dang fool doin` with his hand like that” asked McGillatownski, a veteran newsman who had carried ink-smudges longer than Trail had been alive “Thinks he’s Omnipotent” explained cub reporter Cubby Thompson, hoping to gain favor with Gill, yet barely meriting a scowl for his efforts ******will there come a part III to our story?....we sincerely hope not****

my role model and perennial favorite, Mr. Roger Kaputnick......always dapper in his GQ togs and ascot. Like our other hero Mark Trail, Roger enjoyed a cerebral conversation; pipe clenched in his teeth for effect.
