Take your neighbor a stack of flapjacks.
Today is National Good Neighbor
Day and National Pancake Day.…aand, in preparation for Wednesday, which is Ask
A Stupid Question Day, I’ll allow the rest of Monday and all of Tuesday
for you to leave your stupid questions in comments here, and I’ll try
to think up some stupid answers to post on Wednesday.
In other news briefly, a notoriously odd and colorful Alaskan character is in the wind.
The patriarch of a family that has a running
feud with the National Park Service over access to their property
inside Wrangell-St. Elias National Park has been charged with numerous
counts of sexual assault and incest.Robert Allen Hale, 64, who goes by the name
of Papa Pilgrim, was indicted Thursday by a state grand jury in Palmer
on 30 felony counts, including 10 counts of sexual assault, one count
of kidnapping, eight counts of incest, eight counts of coercion, and
three counts of assault, Alaska State Troopers said.The family includes 15 children but the indictment lists just one victim.
Hale remained at large Monday. “He could be anywhere,” said Alaska State Troopers spokesman Greg Wilkinson.
Hale’s wife, Country Rose Hale, said family members cooperated in the investigation.
“We’re sorry. We just appreciate the prayers of many thousands of
people out there that could help us get through all this,” she said.
“God is on the throne and he’s going to forgive Papa for the things
he’s done wrong.”There’s more….
Don’t forget to ask your stupid questions!

An interesting aspect of the English language recently struck me. When people at a company all decide to stay home and not go to work, we call it a strike. However, when a terrorist actually goes to work, we also call this a strike. Why is this?
My bluejeans size is 10 average but the short is too short and the average is too long. Does that make me below average?
Why are Grapenuts called Grapenuts? They aren’t a grape or a nut. Besides, grapes don’t have nuts but if they did, I doubt it would taste like the cereal.
Why do people say that the only things in life guaranteed are death and taxes? That is bullshit. I have a few guarantees that are just as certain as death and taxes.
How do advertising companies advertise their services? Do they hire an advertising company because doing it themselves would be a conflict of interest?
