This years daylight savings should be a safer one for all involved

With more cops on duty, more volunteer patrol services and a new, far stricter punishment for criminals than of years past, it’s definitely looking like this years annual, Daylight Savings Spring forward, Fall back, will be less about time travel crimes and more about actually saving some daylight.

Last year was a record year in time travel crimes, all committed on or around Daylight savings time(the only day of the year that time travel is possible). With over 236 murders, 28,764 robberies and 689,976 timeline takebacks (people do something wrong an hour before the time shift and then take it back as if nothing happened when time shifts to an hour before or after).

This year though police are hoping to cut those numbers in half, starting with more community awareness campaigns and more officers on duty at the time of the shift. (with the exception of Arizona, who will see no such time shift due to the polarity of the Earth at the time of the change)

One of the biggest hurdles facing us as usual is the over abundance of Half-lifes.

Half-lifes, in case you didn’t know, are the people who were supposed to have died during the change in time but didn’t, placing them in a sort of controlled stasis until the time shifts back. These people raise many concerns for the public as they are met with both fear and pity by those they come in contact with.

Imagine waking after a month long coma and finding out you were supposed to have died during the time shift, while you may feel better, you also know that when the time shifts back you will be dying as scheduled and there is absolutely nothing you can do to change it.

Many Half-lifes face their last moments with a respectable attitude, but there are some who choose a more anarchist attitude towards all they meet. If you meet any of these types of Half-lifes during the months after the time shift, police are asking you to contact them immediately. A response team will arrive to handle the situation.

Overall, let’s make this time shift fun and worth while for everyone involved, after all, think of all the Daylight you will be saving.

Talker99 looks to the Future right Now: A special report about Tomorrow Today

The Future.

Can you see it? Eleven words from now I’m going to say the word cool.

Cool, right?

You my friend were just told the Future. How did I do it? What else can I see? Easy now young fella’, all in do time, because the Future is all around us.

The Future is right Now…….

Or is it? Some people say that in order to understand the Future we must first look at the sins of the past.

How exactly does one look at the past in order to understand the Future and what does any of that have to do with the Now?

That my friends is for you to decide.

Everyone is granted a Future of their own making but your past actions can compromise your Now which in turn can destroy your Future.

Your Tomorrow can easily be affected by your Yesterday and your Today was probably foreseen by a Gypsy.

What does this all mean?

Simple, I was bored and decided to write.

(quick note from the editor(Talker99)….It’s late, I’m tired. All said and done it’s a damn fine piece of writing….)

Recent Cattle mutilations blamed on Critters

At least 14 cattle have been found dead in Brazoria, Texas with dozens more unaccounted for.

Police are at a loss as to what may be responsible but we at Tàlker99 believe we know whom the culprit may very well be…..

Last month, Leonardo DiCaprio was in Brazoria scouting locations for his next film, the sequel to What’s Eating Gilbert Grape, titled, What Ate Gilbert Grape.

Unreported by the local news media and fanzines that follow Leo around, four of his Critters got loose while he was out dining in Cognito(a Spanish restaurant).

You may or may not remember that Leo was in a little film titled Critters 3.

Mysteriously, four Critters disappeared from the set the day Leo left and when calls were placed to his home, they were always met with an annoying wrong number notification.

We did some digging and uncovered this shocking photo that speaks for itself

. Now we don’t want to raise the alarm here but it’s been a long day already and really this is all we got for you to read. Honestly, I’m surprised you made it this far into this story. I would have left when I read the word Critters.

To each his own I guess. See you tomorrow.

Oh, and call your mom. She misses you.

Japanese men go through an American Fetish at some point in their lives

A recent study shows that most Japanese men go through an American girl fetish at some point in their lives.

Conducted by CNN, the study showed that, just as some American men go through a brief Asian fetish, where all they are interested in are Asian girls and Japanese porn, the exact same thing happens to Japanese men as well.

Greg Tanaka, Prof. of “Asian studies as seen through Western Cultures” at Harvard University, had this to say, “Yes it is true, most Asian men, especially Japanese men, go through the equivalent of what Americans call Yellow Fever.

Just as Americans go through a phase where all they are interested in is Japanese girls, we go through what is known in Japan as a White Rice diet, where all we want are American girls and American culture.

Even I went through it, sometime in the eighties I only wanted Goth chicks. I don’t have a clue as to why, I just did.”

There has been no explanation as to why this study was done and when pressed all CNN had to say was, “We did the study to study it.”

Cryptic to say the least.

Florida golfer attacked by aliens

Jim Keen(72) of the Villages, a retirement community located in Florida, was golfing at the Villa Lake Golf course yesterday when he was unexpectedly attacked by Aliens.

Jack Reeds, who is Jim’s friend of twenty two years, was there at the time of the attack, he was kind enough to talk to us and tell us exactly what prompted such an act of aggression by beings from another world,

“We were just about to reach the eighth hole when it happened.

I was walking over to my clubs and Jim was washing his balls.

He always does that before each tee off….washing his balls just gets Jim all fired up and ready to play(chuckles).

Anyway, Jim steps up to tee off when all the sudden there’s this humming sound coming from all around us.

The hum seemed to grow louder and louder and louder till it was right on top of us, I swear I almost had a heart attack……I thought I was back in Korea, thats how loud it was!

. Well, Jim starts looking around and ducking for cover….all of a sudden the sky grows dark.

I look up and there is this huge space ship just hovering right above us. It’s just blocking out the sun, covering everything around us. It was huge, I mean…..just fucking huge! Words can’t describe it!

Jim starts screaming out…. He starts rambling how he was right. How he knew the Aliens were real and he didn’t just imagine them.

He tells me that they’ve been visiting him for about a week, taking him into their craft and looking him over.

Nothing sexual he says, more like a doctor telling you to turn and cough….he thought he might just have been dreaming so he didn’t tell anybody… so he wouldn’t sound crazy.

I tell ya brother, I felt like I was crazy.

Seeing that ship just sitting there made me think I had lost it(laughs). Anyways, all of a sudden, these two small grey creature like things just materialize right in front of us.

They stand there a moment, kinda scanning the surroundings, making sure it’s safe I guess….

Two minutes pass and they start walking over to Jim. I was feeling scared and proud all at once.

Scared because I was looking at little grey bug eyed creatures from space and proud cause this was going to change the world and my best friend was the acting ambassador to Earth…..

Well, they get maybe a foot away from Jim and it gets all quiet.

They are all just staring at each other, waiting to see who would move first. You could feel the tension in the air…..It got a little creepy honestly…. then all of the sudden one of the aliens starts talking gibberish to the other.

Nanoo nanoo type shit.

The little one points at Jim and the bigger one kinda nods his head up and down…..then they both go right over to Jim and kick him in the balls!

Jim cries out this low pitched whine and falls to the ground….kinda wheezing out….Well I guess that was the opening the aliens needed cuz they just started wailing on the poor bastard.

What was worse was that they really seemed to get into it. Kinda letting out these squeals of joy as they kicked.

This goes on for a few more seconds and then the little one puts his foot on Jim’s cheek and kinda stamps down like he’s putting out a cigarette …….and then they just disappeared, voom, gone.

It was the strangest shit I ever saw.

After that I just couldn’t play no more golf so I picked up Jim and took him to the hospital. His pride was pretty well shot for the rest of the day.”

Mr. Keen was treated for a mild concussion and fractured wrist. Police are said to be investigating

Fire kills 14 at Hotel Psychic Convention, many are left wondering how they didn’t see it coming

Buffalo, New York

A fire broke out at the Holiday Inn Hotel and Convention Center Friday afternoon where the 2025 Psychic Connections Expo was being held.

An investigation into what caused the fire is underway but sources tell us it may have been a result of some faulty wiring in the main hall of the forty-year old hotel.

With fourteen confirmed dead and countless others hospitalized it was a weekend that at least one psychic should have seen coming.

The sold out crowd of enthusiastic psychics, Mediums and the people who believe in them, (many of which are in retirement age), immediately rushed in the direction they believed the exit was when the call for evacuation was announced.

The 14 confirmed dead were the result of a communication error between the special guest speaker, Abby Winters, and some of her more devoted followers.

You may remember Mrs. Winters who was the basis for the highly successful CBS series “Speaking with Spirits”.

She is also the author of more than 30 “Paranormal Connection” books and has had three Lifetime Network movies made about her abilities.

Over the years Mrs Winters has come under scrutiny for her involvement in high profile police investigations such as the Blue River murders.

In that particular case(the subject itself is the basis for her 2020 book, River of Wrong) she claims that she knows who the real killer is and the police convicted an innocent man. She stands by this claim despite the man convicted, John Fisher, confessing during his 2022 60 minutes interview.

Sadly, Mrs Winters died while leading her supporters to, what she thought, was safety. Instead all she found was a dead-end due to renovations the hotel had been going through.

The mishap led to all of them dying from smoke asphyxiation.

Many people involved are questioning how this could happen in a hotel filled with supposed psychics, leading non believers to say that it supports their theory that there is no such thing as being able to see the future or having a conversation with a long past family member.

Others though are saying the reason none knew of the fire before it started is only because the real psychics, those that would have seen it beforehand, stayed home due to being too psychic.

Man from Nantucket arrested

Following the late night raid of the Orchid Sunrise massage parlor, Fred Hamilton of Nantucket, North Dakota, was arrested and charged with two counts of indecent exposure and one charge of resisting arrest.

Hamilton, you may remember, gained fame when a limerick written about him became popular in bars and pubs around the world.

As the popularity of the rhyme grew, Fred, (who at the time was a freshman at the local university), found himself propelled into a world of celebrity.

We recently unearthed a rare 1981 interview that Fred did with Rolling Stone magazine during the height of his popularity. In it he talks of how the limerick has affected his life and what has changed for him in terms of career, future goals and family. Below are portions of that interview.

Rolling stone– So I’ve got to ask….can you really suck it?

Hamilton– (laughs) Well, we certainly don’t pull any punches do we? To answer your question, yes, I can in fact, suck it. Would you like to see?

R.S.- No, no. That’s quite all right, maybe later.

H-Very well.

R.S.– Your friend Robert Wilson wrote this limerick about you because, as he puts it, it was the most extraordinary and sickening thing he had ever seen. Is there a story behind that.

H– I don’t know about a story, but one Saturday night at the dorm a bunch of us were drinking and trying to one up each other.

You know, like I can do a back flip or you can tie a cherry stem in your mouth, basic kid stuff just to impress. Well everyone gets done showing off and I hadn’t said anything the whole time. Robert looks over at me and asks me if I had anything to add. I looked up at everyone in the room and said, “Yeah. I can suck my own dick.”

R.S.- (laughing) Really? You were that blunt?

H– Pretty much. The room was silent for a few moments, but then everyone had to see me do it. So I did. The rest is history.

R.S.- Now your tale is told in every bar around the world.

H– Yeah, it’s funny isn’t it. I mean, I’m just a kid from Nantucket. No one ever thought I would be famous, but here I am talking to Rolling Stone magazine and dating Sally Field. Go figure.

R.S.- Yes, let’s talk about your relationships.

H– Here we go.(rolls his eyes)

R.S.- You are dating Sally Field, but your previous relationship with Kathleen Turner was rocky at best.

H– She’s a bitch, yes.

R.S.- She called you a violent, coke induced little man, saying you hit her on more than one occasion and that, as of late, your rampant drug use has left you limp and insecure. Are any of these allegations true?

H– Look, I was a different man back then. I had no idea what I was doing and probably made some shit choices, I’m human. There was only one time when I did get out of control, but I never hit her, I just shook her real hard and her head was banging against the wall. She could have stopped it from banging, but she didn’t. Who’s fault is that?

R.S.- Well……

H– Her fault, that’s who. Now, as for the limp dick thing, that’s just a flat out lie.

But according to sources, Hamilton would be haunted by drug use for years to come. Eventually he fell out of the limelight when, desperate for money, Hamilton signed on to star in a series of adult films showcasing his sole talent, but on the first day of filming he could not perform. Years of drug use had left him with severe erectile dysfunction. In 1988 he moved back to the town that made him famous, Nantucket, where he has lived since.

Even though he has pleaded not guilty to the charges, this arrest may be the nail in the coffin for Fred Hamilton, the man from Nantucket.

Dr. Emmet Brown finally arrested after decades long search

Dr Emmet Brown arrived home yesterday from the year 1955, after disappearing in a futuristic looking 1985 Delorean of the past.

The happiness friends and family felt after seeing the long thought dead scientist was short-lived though.

Approximately ten minutes after his arrival, police stormed in with a warrant and arrested him for the suspected murder of Marty Mcfly.

Mcfly, whose disappearance in the late 80’s has long been a subject of debate, was featured in a season three episode of Unsolved mysteries.

Despite numerous leads, no one was ever charged.

Did Dr. Brown kill Marty Mcfly? That was the question on everyones mind after the two were last seen talking late one night around the town clock tower.

Some said that Dr Brown was an eccentric scientist with a taste for young boys. Others said that it was not Doc Brown at all and police should look toward Marty’s mother for answers in his disappearance.

In 1955 Lorraine Mcfly(her last name was Baines at the time) had a torrid affair with someone named Calvin Klein(no relation to the fashion guru) at around the time of her high school prom.

Friends of Lorraine often told her how much her son Marty looked like Calvin and would joke about who the actual father was.

How much of what they were saying was based in truth though? That is the question everyone is asking after news broke that the doctor had returned .

More importantly, that’s the question police have been asking since the disappearance of young Marty in the 80’s.
Now though, with todays capture of Dr. Brown, might the police finally have the evidence they need to convict?

Considering he has long since been the only person of interest in this decades long cold case, many are hopeful to finally get answers to questions most thought would never be fully explained.

Talker99 goes Cow Tipping

Recently I(Talker99) was granted full access to a local cow pasture that was awash with the milk producing bovine.

Not one to pass up such a rare opportunity I began to prepare for my exciting night of cow tipping, something I had not done since my days as a young lad back in Texas.

I was more than a little nervous as I stepped out into that lush green field but I was ready to meet these cows head on. To my right were about six black and white dairy cows and a young calf.

I hesitated just a bit as I reached out my hand as a show of gratitude for allowing me into their world. Suddenly the young calf walked up to me and sniffed my outstretched hand. Everything was relying on this moment, would I be accepted into the fold as one of their own?

Success! The calf let out a short moo sound which inturn caused the others to bello bigger moo like sounds.

To the left of me a cow began to pee.

For the following two hours I grazed and walked with my new cow friends, even giving a few of them names so as to secure a stronger bond.

Ash was the name I gave the leader due to the grey patch across his head that reminded me of Ash Wednesday. Imagine, a Catholic cow…. I shall laugh for days at this thought.

Cowabunga was the name I gave to the cow whose tail jumped and danced.

Mooberry was the cow who only seemed to eat the berrys growing throughout the field.

I enjoyed my time getting to know my new friends but as nightfall came I prepared for why I was here.

The night grew strong and slowly each cow fell fast asleep. I slowly rose to my feet and silently waltzed across the way….

Mooberry was fast asleep in a dreamstate, i could tell by her rapid eye movement and how she kicked her legs as if running. I slowly walked right beside the mighty beast, put two hands upon her side and whispered the words “thank you”.

I then left $3.56 under her right hoof.

Its best to tip an average of 15 to 25 percent. If you tip a cow any more they get insulted. Im not sure why but they do.

Thank you.

Almost fight leads to man saying Dude way to much

For Clifton, Nebraska resident, Carey Flinch, fighting is not something he does well.

So when he got into an argument last night at the local 24 hour Mexican restaurant in his town, he did everything in his power to not make it escalate, leaving some to question whether or not they really know who Carey is at all.

“All I know is Carey was talking to some girl he met when this big dude comes out of nowhere and starts yelling that he’s talking to his woman.” RobGrason told us by phone this morning, he’s Carey’s best friend and an eyewitness to the events, “Carey was caught off guard and just starts yelling YOU DONT WANT THIS DUDE! You dont want this Dude! You Don’t dude! Dude! Dude! and then just books it outside.

Well, the guy just follows, as does everyone in the bar cuz it looks like we’re gonna see a fight.

We all get out there and there’s Carey, yelling Dude, DUDE, I’ll kick your ass DUDE…. over and over…….

Eventually, the guy just gave up, out of boredom I think, and just goes back inside.

I went over to Carey cuz he was upset and visibly shaking, like, all over….

all he was saying was Dude, I showed him, that dude didn’t want none. Dude needs to……. It was fucking embarrassing, I took Carey home and told him to sleep it off. To be honest….I don’t know what the fuck to think.”

Man stops Charging Grizzly

While camping at the Happy Place campgrounds in Barrow Falls, Alaska, Harold Harkins (of Beaverton, MN) managed to stop a charging, very pissed off Grizzly bear that was attacking. His act of bravery is what saved the rest of Larry and Laura Hartnets vacation.

Larry Hartnet, a Target manager from Butte, Montana, talked to us by phone, “Well, see me and the wife were wanting to go on the all inclusive bear tour during our trip. We paid for it and it’s all the wife could talk about on the way up here.

Just nonstop yapping about how she(begins to mimic his wife laura in a annoying, high pitched voice) just can’t wait to see the bears. Oooooo, the bears are gonna be so pretty and majestic. Do you think we’ll see a bear? What if we can’t see a bear? Bear. Bear. Bear…. (stops imitating)

I swear to Christ it was all I freakin’ heard,

Anyways, we get there and the first night, no bears.

The second night, no freakin’ bears.

I thought my wife was gonna bust she was actin’ so upset. Well, I get wind of another bear tour that drives a group of us up into the mountain, puts some dead animal or fish out in the open and waits there till one comes walkin’.

It was freakin’ perfect! Anything to get her trap from freakin’ talkin’ bout those dumb ass bears!

So I tell the wife about it and we drive up to where the tour is supposed to leave. Trouble was we get there exactly ten minutes too late! The freakin’ tour thingy already left! Thats when the water works came…..oh Jesus, I swear I wanted a bear to show just so it could eat her, she was crying so much.

Suddenly I hear a “pssst, pssst”, coming from behind me. I turn around and it’s a freakin’ aww inspiring-like Grizzly Bear! Totally brown and bear-like and he’s just looking me dead in the eye, kinda mean muggin’ me….. Then I see that he’s trying to call me over, kinda wavin’ at me with his big bear paws. It was freakin’ crazy!

So I walk up and he starts askin’ if we want to see the bears….and that he can show us more bears if we want. Then he starts to explain the deals he has and the prices. We haggled a few minutes and me an the wife decided on package number 1, which involved us following him up to his place.

Once there we would be allowed to sit and watch him in his natural environment. Total package was for about $150. A little pricey but well worth it to get the wife to shut up.

So we follow the fucker up into the hills for about ten minutes and all is fine. Suddenly he just stops and turns to me and says he wants the money up front.

Well, I ain’t sure if this bear is on the level so I say I’ll pay half now, half after. I mean, I don’t know this bear, he could just take off if he gets the money and then where would I be? Up shit creek, thats where!

I could tell though that the bear wasn’t having it and he starts to get all pissy. His attitude just rubbed me wrong and we start to argue.

This goes on for a few minutes and then he starts to just walk away, throwing his paws up as he does. As he gets past me I just snap like a twig and I tell him to fuck off.

He suddenly stops dead in his tracks and the whole forest, well, it just gets weirdly quiet. Then he turns around, looks me square in the eyes and says, “what the fuck did you just say?”

I looked right back and said, “F. U. C. K. Y. O. U…..does a bear spell in the woods? No? Well let me read it for you…” I then stuck up both middle fingers and yelled, “FUCK YOU!”

The shit pretty much hit the fan at this point.

He starts screaming at me, calling me every name he can think of. Thats when my wife just starts crying, real loud, heaving sobs, but amazingly, she is snappin’ pictures the entire time.

I decided to be the bigger man and say fuck it and walk away but he grabs my shoulder and tells me I owe him 50 bucks. I tell him that all I owe him is a black eye and lucky for him I don’t feel like collecting.

Thats when he pushes me.

So I stamp my foot into the ground and pushed back.

Then he started to growl.

At this point I realize that he was a bear….. a big ass, mean, giant Grizzly bear and I was pretty much fucked.

Suddenly I see this guy, Harold, coming up from the trail. Like a knight to my damsel in distress, he saw what was about to go down and he jumps in to stop it. I guess the bear didn’t see him cuz he still swiped down trying to hit me….(starts to cry) but he hits Harold instead.

It killed him instantly.

Seconds later some Rangers show up and just start shooting the bear. My wife, who is still taking pics, pushes me down to the ground and saved my ass.

She took two shots in the ass and will be off her feet a few weeks, thats what I’m dealing with now, which sucks.

Are you up to date? A Tàlker99 special report

Welcome to the update section of Talker99.

Today we will discuss any and all changes being made to the Talker99 format and/or layout. We do this update so that you, the viewer, can and will be informed of any and all changes that might normally catch you a bit off guard.

We know that change, both big and little, can sometimes be a little off putting or frightening. We are here to guide you through even the slightest change to your normal Talker99 reading experience.

Update: Nothing

We would like to remind you that Talker99 has a sister site titled 365poems.wordpress.com

In it he tries his hand at poetry so as to better understand the style.

Backstory: Talker99 has never really been a fan of poetry. He always thought of it as a very “look at me” style of writing and it always just rubbed him wrong.

As he grew older he became slightly wiser and realized one day that this was a very close minded way of thinking.

It was at that moment that he decided to try his hand at it and see what all the fuss was about.

He then dove in to all the poetry he could find, whatever it was, he read it. Finally, a year later, he was ready.

Now you can judge him like he has judged so many others before.

Dora the explorer missing

Dora the Explorer, the famed six-year-old archaeologist, was reported missing yesterday after she and her assistant Boots failed to check in after their hike up Green Mountain.

Despite Green Mountain being known as difficult terrain, Dora and Boots were both accomplished outdoorsman who(between the two) had logged over 500 hours up and down it’s trails.

According to sources, they had left in the early morning in hope of finding a baby condors lost parents.

Dora, looking smug

Dora, looking smug

Police are being quiet about the details of the investigation but our sources are telling us that Diego, Doras animal rescue cousin, was called into police headquarters late last night for questioning about his whereabouts at the time of her hike.

No charges were filed but he is definitely a person of interest in the ongoing case.

As are the explorers own parents who are now being investigated by Child Protective Services for neglect.

“That kid was never seen with her parents,” a neighbor told us by phone, “she’d be out willy nilly all hours of the night. Just her an that god-damned monkey(Boots) crossing rickety bridges, white water rafting in crocodile infested rivers and walking around asking questions to people who were not even there.

One time I saw her look up at a wall, ask it how many apples it could count up above her head, tell it that it did a great job and then proceed to sing some song about how they did it……it was the creepiest shit I ever saw.”

Police are asking for help in giving any information that may lead to Doras whereabouts. They are also asking to be on the lookout for a masked Fox who goes by the name of Swiper.

The Fox, whose real name is Tony Stuccato, was often seen lingering around Dora and Boots on many occasions and has been linked to the Green River Murder case in recent past where he was one of multiple suspects in the investigation, though no charges were ever brought forth.

Makers of Tylenol hold press conference to “clear the air”

The makers of the number one headache remedy on the market, Tylenol, held a press conference today so they might “clear the air” about how helpful their headache pill actually is for the millions of people who buy it on a regular basis.

“Not helpful at all,” according to the spokesman for the company, adding, “We would even go so far as to say that it may actually be responsible for tension headaches these last few years, especially for residents of Maryland, though there have been no conclusive tests done to actually prove this, but it probably has.”

When pressed to explain how Tylenol works and what its active ingredients were the spokesman had this to say,

“Chalk, lots of chalk. Also, if I’m not mistaken, tree bark, beaver secretions, the number 9, ten percent Ibuprofen and Crayola Crayon Signiture White Edition…..oh, and science.

He did add one positive note to Tylenol and its makers, telling reporters how proud he was to be making prescription strength Tylenol 3, “It really is the shit, isn’t it? Those people who thought it up are gods among men in my opinion. You got pain? Take a T3. You got arthritis? Take a mutha fuckin T3! You got a party to get to? Pop a T-to-tha-3 and feel as good as you can be.”

He then spun around, did the splits and ran out the room.

After years of searching, local man finds God

For Mike Ferrel, his personal search for God has been a journey filled with many emotional ups and downs.

For years he has been on a spiritual mission to become closer to the lord in both mind and body. He has searched throughout thousands of churches, synagogues and christian based summer camps but never found the connection he was looking for.

Yesterday Mike Ferrel finally found his Lord and Savior……he lives at 1354 Beechnut Avenue in Orlando, Florida, apartment 1264.

“I’ll be honest with you,” Mike told us by phone, “I’m a little let down. I mean, for like, twenty some odd years I’ve been looking for God and this is where I find him? In some shit apartments in fucking Orlando?! Jesus Christ man! He works at Disney World for Christs sake!”

God, who could not be reached for comment, is in fact working at Disney World. He runs the Its a small world ride where his official title is Head Technician and creator of the known universe.

We talked to his supervisor, Park manager Tammie Darson, who had this to say, “Oh yes, God is a wonderful worker, always on time and very clean in appearance. The only complaint we have ever had on him is that he does seem to think he’s always right about how the ride animations should look because he’s the “Creator”….(Sighs) but otherwise he’s a wonderful person. I do wish he would shave that beard though.”

October 31st has long been more than just another day, it has also been Halloween.

All Hallows Eve

Witches night

The End of October

Fat Tuesday

These are just some of the many names the dark night has been called(also known as Batman). Why is it so important and why should you care?

What kind of retched history can this so called “Halloween” have and, more importantly, why does it involve candy?

Well kiddies, sit back and I shall tell you the horrifying history of Halloween(actually, I’m not going to tell you a whole history, more like some random facts. They will be about Halloween though, not necessarily horrifying but Halloween none-the-less)

Halloween was started in the year 1972(the year of the Lord)

Candy, which has long been an instrument of the Devil(on account of it being so tasty) was chosen to represent Halloween over the Devils other instrument, the Flute.

The idea to actually give children the candy was decided after finding that no one knew what to do with all the candy they had brought.

George Clooney is on record as being the first trick- or- treater(he dressed as a ghost).

The first recorded Bob for Apples game was at George and Marcy’s 1983 Key Party(invitation only) in Tampa Bay, Florida. The term Bob for Apples took on a decidedly different meaning there, and it was during the month of August.

Brad Pitts birthday falls on Halloween(though he changed it once he became a star).

The song the Monster Mash was in fact a graveyard smash.

Other notable celebs with Halloween births are: Mary Kate Olsen, Tiger Woods, Frank Stallone, The Devil, Will Ferrell, Richard Simmons, Balthazar Getty, Adult film legend Tera Patrick, Marky Mark, the cast of Greys Anatomy, Bill Clinton, the voice of the Kool aid man, Ted Danson and the dog from Beethoven.

Happy Halloween.

Trix Rabbit arrested

The Trix cereal rabbit was arrested after an investigation into reports that the rabbit had been performing sexual acts with minors for bowls of cereal proved true.

The rabbit, who released a statement following the arrest, had this to say,

“I’m just glad that it’s all out in the open. Did you people not ever pay attention? The kids were saying, Tricks are for Kids!

I have a problem, I can admit this. I will seek help following my judgment. Thank you”

No word yet from the Trix cereal makers.

Talker99 Classic Retro Rewind : Next attack coming soon

Today on classic retro rewind we are taking you waaaayyy back to when the people were panicked, the conspiracies were in abundance and the world seemed flipped upside down…. We are talking of course about the year 2001, directly after 9/11. The article you are about to read is one published three months after that horrible day. If I’m not mistaken this is my third post I ever published. We admit that its dated for sure and the thoughts and beliefs may be a little insensitive but its still kinda funny… Sign of the times is all we can say.

All of Washington D.C. is abuzz with news that Al qaeda, the Islamic terrorist sect, is planning something big for their next attack, but how big? Talker99 sat down with Al queda member Zemar Dunis, who runs the East New Jersey Islamic Cherry Hill Gang, a non-profit cure for cancer group in Blight, New Jersey and he filled us in on whats in store.

“What the word on the Muslim street is saying is that the next bombing will be tha bomb!

Oh yes, my fellow qaeda guys are most definitely going to attack……Attack your senses, so your mind will be blown!

First, there will be a huge parade through the streets, where the many Muslim men will preach about Allah and his wisdom. Following behind the men will be their women, dressed in their best veils and looking all the more sexy as they walk through the streets covered head to toe with their heads ducked low and their mouths shut.

After the parade there will be punch and pie in the “Infidel Tent”, a kind of, meet a Muslim type setting, where the men will teach and praise Allah and his wisdom. For that the women will be at home where they belong.

Then the fun begins as two of Al qaedas best magicians come to teach of the dangers and evil that black magic will bring you as their show starts with basic parlor tricks but then turns into a den of evil, which consequently turns into a beheading of one of the Magicians.

Do not worry though, it is a fun time for the kiddies. Also, be sure to go if not to see the Black Magic fools lovely assistants, you’ll feel the heat as they help whenever called for and then stand in their corners with their mouths shut and their heads down low.

I don’t know about you, but I’ve already reserved a seat for when it happens.”

Feral Cow

Deep in the foothills of Texas there lives a creature that, since being discovered only thirty two years ago, has been photographed just four times in it’s natural environment.

It is so stealth-like in it’s habits that scientists still have no clue as to where it goes every year during the months of November through January, speculating that its strange disappearance could either be a “mating season rite or a winter hibernation like move”.

I am talking of course about the North American Forest Bovine, or what some like to call, the Feral Cow.

The Feral Cow had long been considered a superstitious rumor that was thought up by the hill people of North Travis county, Texas but it’s discovery by Dr. Reginald Christian thirty two years ago, (who found a lost calf wondering alone in the woods), is still considered one of the greatest large animal findings in recorded history.

At the time, it was believed that all of North America had been discovered and the thought of a large cow(sometimes reaching a weight of 1500 lbs and a height of 6ft hoof to head) living, sometimes within a mile of a major metropolitan city, was unimaginable.

“What we have here is proof of the impossible.” Fred Joplin of the San Diego Zoo, where he is the current head of the reptile house(we could not reach anyone else) told us by phone, “What this finding did is give hope and precedence to all those that searched for things like Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster. It gave them reason to keep looking because, just like Bigfoot, the Feral Cow was just a local legend for that area, something scary parents told their kids to keep them indoors at night. Once it was proven that it existed, that there actually was a giant cow out there in the hills….well, why not Bigfoot as well?”

The Feral Cow itself is not that much different from the normal dairy cow that you and I know, save for two distinct differences.

While a dairy cow has short, fine hair spread around its body, the Feral has long hair that resembles a Mountain Yak in fluff and color. And while the farm cow is really not that intelligent in it’s day to day reasoning skills, The Feral is an extremely intelligent creature, able to calculate situations it encounters with complex reasoning and in some well documented cases, a grasp of basic mathematics.

Also, another difference in the two is the Feral Cow is a carnivore, eating only meat, and has evolved over time into a formidable killing machine.

Over the years many people have disappeared while hiking in the woods of west Texas, many of these disappearances can be linked to the Feral Cow.

“Don’t let that dumb cow look fool you, they’ll tear you limb from limb and feast on your blood.” So says John Kilmer, a Lake Jackson, Texas resident who lost his wife and child to a rouge Feral Cow that terrorized the town for more than a decade. “People go out camping and think to themselves it won’t happen to them, no one ever sees the Cows, so they should be okay. Well I’m hear to tell you, it happens, the Cows happen. You come across one, you run like hell. They may look sweet and cuddly, they want you to think this, lull you in some, make you all comfortable….then Bam! The cow pounces, those cute eyes turn blood red and the last thing you hear is that horrible, horrible Moo…… the most evil moo there ever was.”

More is hoped to be learned about the cow in the coming months when an expedition is launched that hopes to study the Animal in it’s natural environment. This being the third research study in as many years, the first two disappearing, both within a week of their launch, and have yet to be heard from .

Caillou placed in foster care after police arrest parents for child abuse

Caillou coming from court

Shocking allegations of child abuse and fraud have surfaced today during the pretrial for the couple known only as Mother and Father, who for years claimed that their four year old son Caillou was sick and special needs.

The couple was arrested at their home on Pine Street last April on suspicion of child endangerment but once the police started digging they found a rabbit hole that went deeper than they could have ever imagined.

Caillou was the subject of a popular reality show that showcased his perseverance and sunny outlook in his day to day activities despite his severe learning capabilities and his ongoing battle with cancer.

Or so the public was lead to believe.

According to court records the parents completely fabricated every aspect of Caillou’s life. They then used his pain to their advantage. Vacations, multi night sex parties and drug fueled weekends that would find Caillou at home alone to fend for himself.

Dr. Rob Garath, a psychologist (the only one to return our calls) had this to say, “at first glance it looks like a basic case of Munchausen syndrome but on further investigation I’m not so sure. I believe this was done solely for monetary purposes on the parents part. Its pretty fucked up”.

Caillou has been quiet on the whole ordeal since the arrest. His grandparents are trying to gain custody of the boy and his grandmother is still his soccer coach every Tuesday evening. They are to make a statement in court next week.

Talker99 Editorial

The following is an editorial from Talker99(He’s not just good-looking, he’s really good-looking).

The thoughts and feelings represented here are strictly his and his alone.

They in no way represent the thoughts and feelings of the writers at Talker99(namely me, Talker99).

After reading this you may feel dizzy or light-headed. This is completely normal and should not be looked upon as anything other than what it actually is(light headedness, dizziness, arousal). Thank you.

That was a poorly written post a few days ago.

I’m not making excuses because, well, you don’t deserve excuses. I just went back and reread the midget post and I don’t know why I even published it without editing it.

My thoughts on stories about midgets have always been the same, that they should be just like a midget(if they existed, which they don’t) short and sexy.

What I mean is, that they should be whimsical and full of magic…… anything else and they just become a dwarf.

Yes, I will agree that instead of writing this I should have probably just gone back to work on it.

Here’s the thing…. that is way to much work.

It is so much easier to create than to decreate(it should be a word, like swang, as in swing, swang, swung) so why don’t you just go back to washing dishes honey? I’ll stick to the man stuff, like working.

I realize that may have been a little sexist and for that I do apologize.

It’s just that sometimes you gots to put a bitch in her place.

Again, I apologize, that was not only sexist but it felt like the right thing to say.

Pokemon

Minneapolis, Mn

For Twin Cities resident Henry Webber, Pokemon is more than just a children’s card game and multi-million dollar money making animated series, it is a highly sophisticated, multinational governmental cover-up involving dozens of countries throughout the world, all of which are after the one prize of catching them all

“Oh yes,” Henry told us, “some of the nations that are involved are most definitely enemies of the state. Have you ever heard of a little place called Afghanistan? Over fifty Pokemon come from there so it stands to reason that the whole war on terror that was started in the early 2000’s was actually nothing more than a ruse…..(he takes a dramatic pause and looks away at the wall, then his cat, then back to me)…. a ruse to capture and weaponize all remaining Pokemon that are living within the mountains of the Afghan Nation.

Viscous and cruel Pokemon such as Electrike(he hands me a card with a picture of a cute little electric creature). That Pokemon may have been responsible for the Thai Tsunami that took over a hundred thousand lives.”

As proof of the existence of Pokemon, Henry then handed me a card with a picture of a creature named Steelix. He then ran back to his bedroom and shut the door.

Nearly twenty-two minutes later(and one exhausting conversation with his mother, who he lives with) Henry reappears holding a little lizard/cat creature, He then tells me it’s the same one in the card I was shown.

I looked it over and as soon as I realized he wasn’t lying, I swear to God, my jaw hit the fucking floor. Then, he says some crazy Japanese sounding word and the fucking things tail starts spinning! I flew out of that house so fast…….I mean I was fucking gone! My heart was pounding out of my chest almost! It was crazy….. I just don’t even know how to explain what I saw….I ju….I just know….(breathing heavily)I was so fucking scared!”

Kingston Falls: Could it happen again?

It’s the forty year anniversary of the tragedy that took place on Christmas Eve in Kingston Falls, New York and we as a people were completely unprepared for the horror that night brought.

We sat with Peter Davis, (a Professor at the University of Houston where he teaches a course on the subject) and he talked with us on how that day forever changed us and why we need to be prepared so that it won’t happen again.

Many say this is the creature that started it all but scientists have yet to find any proof

Many say this is the creature that started it all but scientists have yet to find any proof

.

“The Kingston Falls Creatures, or the “KFC” as most call them, were like nothing we had ever seen.

These were creatures who basically lived for destruction. They only ate after midnight, were allergic to bright light, especially sun light, and multiplied if touched by water.

They were like no other animal.

Their sole purpose seemed to be mayhem and chaos.

On the same page though, here were creatures that showed great intelligence and interest in the world around them. Normally, if an animal has some sense of reasoning behind the eyes then there is usually compassion as well.

These creatures had a complete disregard for life and took no hesitation in killing whatever was in front of them….They were and still are the most fascinating creatures.”

“In almost one night these creatures were able to wipe an entire town off the face of the Earth. No man, woman or child was spared in their havoc.

Conspiracy theorists will tell you that a similar fate befell the Clapton building in New York a few years later but that still has yet to be proven.”

Woman starts Blog

Karen Hendricks started her blog today, http://www.CrazyTodaySaneTomorrow.wordpress.com and she promises you’re going to love it.

According to the press release, Karen, (a mother of two living in South Carolina and newly single following her divorce), decided to start the blog so she could vent her “frustrations and funstations” that her day to day life brings.

She also is hoping to fill it with weekly posts about blogging.

Topics like “how to blog”, “how not to blog”, “how to get more followers”, “what to write about on your blog”, “the importance of the like button”, and “why you should comment on others blogs”.

She will also talk a lot about “stats” and “getting your name out there so the public can find you”.

Lastly, she will be filling it with every poem she has ever written.

These will be randomly placed throughout the week when she can not figure anything else out to write, adding, “they will show the true me. Who I am both before and after the divorce. I can promise you it will be an emotional roller coaster that shows my inner workings. I’m kind of nervous because of how personal my poetry is….”

It will be the most exciting thing you’ve read until the next blog you read.

Monkey writes masterpiece

You’ve heard the old saying, “If you put a million monkeys in front of a million typewriters, one of them will eventually produce a masterpiece.

Well, the wait is finally over.

Test monkey, #33679203P, otherwise known as Bop Bop, became the first monkey ever to write a literary masterpiece.

The book, titled “Vines to Vineyards, one monkeys journey”, is a semi-autobiographical tale of Bop Bop’s life.

The story revolves around the fictional character Bash Bash, who, as a young monkey still living in the jungle, suddenly finds himself uprooted from his mothers grasp when poachers kidnap him.

The night of Bash Bash’s arrival, a rag tag group of activists attack the campground in hopes of freeing the animals held there . The freedom is shortlived though and the activists substitute one prison to the form of another, in the guise of an animal sanctuary.

Once in America, Bash Bash slowly learns how to trust again, and what it means to love and be loved. The book takes place during the month’s following the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the fear that struck directly after.

In his review of the book, Tim Bowen of the New York Times said that “Vines to Vineyards is one of those rare books that will stand the test of time. Like War and Peace, to Kill a Mockingbird and Curious George before it, this book will be here long after I am gone and I’m sure will be required reading in most schools across America. Somehow the author, in this case, a fifteen year old monkey named Bop Bop, has been able to do what no other has done before, write a book that truly speaks to every race, creed, culture and creature in a deeply profound way that will leave you with a sense of hope and awe for the future. Five stars.”

The book is to be released sometime next month.

Elvis Presley found alive but excitement is short lived

Fans of Elvis Presley were both excited and saddened today as news of The King, who was thought to have died in 1977, had been found alive inside a Louisville, Kentucky mall.

The news of Elvis’s apparent resurrection was short lived when approximately fifteen minutes later he was pronounced dead after suffering a stroke.

The mystery behind the death of Elvis has long been a topic of much debate, but had mostly died out in the recent years on account that most thought it was a stupid topic.

Jerry Cantro, who runs the website http://www.Elvisiseverywhere.org, a website devoted to Elvis sightings and Elvis memorabilia, had this to say, “I told you Elvis was alive. None of you believed me when I said I saw Elvis back in 1983. He was at the Grand Rapids, Michigan movie theater walking into the Jaws 3-D screening. I told you so. You all just laughed, only Weekly world News believed me………screw you people.”

The couple that spotted him in the mall, Jonathan and Judy Hogan from Clearwaters, Florida, would not talk to us directly but released a statement to the press saying that they are very saddened by the sudden loss of an American icon and when they spotted him buying a Cushioned Sleep Mask in the Brookstone store, he looked well and not in any way unhealthy.

He will be missed again.

Liu Kang recognized for heroic work in Mortal Kombat

Washington D.C.,

President Trump spoke this past Tuesday about how close we came to losing the Earth realm during the 2015 Mortal Kombat Competition, and what plans are underway so that this years competition does not make slaves of us all.

For many years the government has kept the world in the dark about the annual competition which takes place every ten years in Outworld and sees the Earthrealms best fighters go up against all other realms best fighters.

It’s a millennial old battle where the final outcome decides the losing realmes fate.

In order to successfully win though, the invading realm must win ten straight competitions so, usually, we have had nothing to worry about.

In 2015 we had lost nine straight.

In a panic, the governments of the world briefly united in secret to search for the one fighter that could possibly beat the Outworlds most fierce and prized fighter, Prince Goro, who held the Mortal Kombat crown.

After an exhaustive search, the three chosen were Liu Kang, a Shaolin Monk from China, Special Agent Sonya Blade of the F.B.I and Johnny Cage, a bit actor who had appeared in various t.v. roles such as Walker,Texas Ranger.

Apparently film star Steven Segal had wanted to go but could not get off from work at the Lake Jackson Sheriffs dept., a fact that still irks him to this day.

The tournament, (which was to take place over three days in Outworld), got off to a rocky start when Sonya Blade had to be removed from the fight list.

While getting off an escalator at the Outworld Interrealm Airport she fell and broke her ankle.

A day later, Johnny Cage was disqualified for illegal use of a narcotic when a blood test showed positive for both cocaine and steroids.

The future of Earthrealm was bleak at best.

Then the most amazing thing happened. In an event that will rank among one of the greatest sports victories in history….. Liu Kang beat them all.

He was the underdog that no one had heard of or had any hope for. Betting circles around the world placed him last and untested.

It was probably this status that helped him win.

The night of the final fight, (it’s been reported), Prince Goro was feeling particularly cocky and self sure about the outcome. He had started drinking heavily throughout the day and was seen passed out some two hours before the fight.

At 8 p.m. central standard time(4 d.h Outworld time) the fight began….. three minutes later, Liu Kang stood victorious.

After taking a beating for the first two minutes and almost having the towel thrown in by his trainer, Liu stood up and showed the world his gravity defying signiture move, the flying bicycle kick.

As soon as he landed those rapid kicks to Goros chest it was all over. He then knocked his four armed competitor to the ground, shot three fireballs at him and ended with an amazing finishing move that caused Goros head to explode and arms rip completely off.

Our world, at least for now, was saved.

President Trump honored Mr Kang Tuesday in a heartfelt speech about his life and what he did for all humanity. Sadly, Liu Kang died last year while serving time in a Chinese prison for crimes against the Peoples Republic, he was 37.

Editorial

The following is an editorial from Talker99. It in no way represents the thoughts or feelings of the staff at Talker99, just the editor….. which is the person writing the editorial…..

There’s been a lot of talk recently about scientific studies involving Dark Matter. The talks usually consist of people asking if it actually exists, how much of it is really out there and what, if anything, does it mean in regards to the creation of the known universe.

Considering I know very little about the known universe I decided to go furniture shopping.

And I must say, I really like that red couch.

Seriously, it’s a great couch. I’m not going to get it though, if I did I’d have to repaint and we all know how that will go(Talker99 tries to paint, issue 17, May 1999). I do though have a picture below for all you fans of fine furniture.

Talker99 removed the red couch photo due to copyright infringement(it was a fine photo though) Here now in its place, Puppies!

Alcoholic nation of Poland complains Stereotypes are offensive

The crime-ridden, alcoholic nation of Poland went before NATO today complaining that stereotypes about their communistic land are hurting its economy, namely the tourist portion.

When the anti-Semitic speaker of Poland had finished he was met with a small amount of applause and some light finger snapping from the hippie loving, pot smoking liberal representatives of Nato(Sean Penn was there).

Reps for the Asian portions of the world and the people who are clearly smarter than everyone(especially where math is concerned) gave Poland its full support in getting rid of stereotypes, adding “We very, very excited to support Poland in stereotype problem. We know all to well stereotyping, it bad, bad thing. Ching chow.” He then drove off and wrecked his car into the building across the street.

America is apparently on the fence when it comes to certain views on stereotypes. President Trump, himself a rich, white Republican who hates minorities and womens rights, sent a message to the leader of Poland after his speech, saying, “We support your speech. As you know, my nation is filled with dumb blondes, stupid jocks, slutty cheerleaders, rich white guys, drunk Irish, inbred hillbillies, hairy, bomb wearing middle eastern guys, trailer park trash, smarty pants, game playing Asians and more Mexican illegals than I can shake a stick at. What I’m saying is, stereotypes have no place in our society so we stand with you in eradicating those types of views from the face of the Earth.” ,

The wild animal roaming, dirt road nation of Poland also got support from the racist nation of South Africa, the big nosed French, the no sense of humor Nazi loving Germany and the really bad dancing white guy in the corner.

Confused man thinks someone called his name

For Tempe, Arizona resident Jerrod Ward, walking to and from work every day is more than just his way of saying that he’s trying to live “Green”, it’s also his favorite part of the day.

“Well, my favorite two parts of the day.” Jerrod told us by phone last Tuesday night, “See, cause I walk to work and then back home after I get off…….so, it’s my favorite “two” parts of the day.”

He then laughs and asks if I get the humor in what he said…..

(silence)

But last Monday night his walk home was interrupted for a few Earth shattering moments by a belief that someone called out his name, sending him into a confused state of looking around and wondering who it was.

Police are said to be investigating more important matters.

WordPress Blog gets new adult rating

The usually family friendly WordPress blog, Views from my Subaru, was hit hard today with comments asking the creator of the site to tone down the language after he accidentally typed the word “fuck” instead of the usual, fu*k, which is only readable by those over the age of 18.

Considered to be a more PG-13 style site, Views from my Subaru was upgraded to R after receiving too many complaints from unhappy readers.

Miranda Fellowship, a long time Subaru reader and mother of two, had this to say, “I was shocked when I read it. I mean, I read that site to my kids and to think that they could have heard me read that word aloud sends chills down my spine.

Now I have to actually actively watch what my kids read just in case something like that gets out there again. Its appalling.”

“Everyone knows that you can’t write the word fuck and expect to get away with it,” says professional commenter, Daryl Speedman, “because that kind of language is unacceptable for your everyday family site.

Kids see those kinds of words and their minds just get fried. It becomes all about sex and violence and sex once that shit crosses a kids eyes.

In order for those words to not reach them you gotta put a # symbol or any other type thingy in a letters place.

That way the bad words go unread because kids and teens don’t have the mental capabilities to place a C or a U where the * is. I don’t know why this is, I just know that it is.”

And now welcome our very special guest, Mr Tony Danza.

“Hey, Tony Danza here, speaking on behalf of Talker99. He knows that today’s post was not his best work. It could have used a little more work in the final execution and probably a little less foul language. I ain’t gotta tell you how many episodes of Who’s the Boss we did where we all said the same thing at the end of the day but you want to know something? People forgave us week after week and still tuned in to see us! So yeah, today’s post was a lot like a crap episode of Who’s the Boss…….. I say that’s cool by me and I’m Tony Danza.

Famed Mystery Inc. Mascot accidently killed when company van backed over him

The face of the famous investigative firm, Mystery Inc. ,was killed today when one of its employees accidently backed over him while driving the company van.

Scooby Doo, a four year old, brown Great Dane, had been with the team since it’s inception and seemed to have really enjoyed the attention it brought.

Mystery Inc. became famous for their ability to sniff out fraudulent, supposed haunted attractions such as the case that gave them international fame, the case of the cursed cruise.

That well known investigation saw the team take on a haunted cruise liner.

The ship had been losing money due to lack of tourists and rumors had spread claiming the ship was being haunted by a giant, demonic owl creature.

The Mystery Inc team was able to prove that the haunting was a ruse brought on by a bitter ex employee.

Old Mike Mcready had a long standing grudge against the ship since being fired the summer before. He was sentenced to six years for his involvement.

After that the team shot to fame and fortune. Scooby Doo became so popular even that at one point he was receiving 20,000 letters from fans a day.

He even got his own dog treats named Scooby Snacks which are sold on most store shelves still today

A statement was released by the team this morning, in it they talked about what this means for the company and what the future holds.

“Scooby Doo was, above all else, a good dog. Many of the high profile cases we’ve worked would never have been solved had it not been for a careless mistake made by Scooby. We are all going to take time to deal with this sudden loss and hope to come out stronger because of it. We request that you respect our privacy during this time. Thank you. ”

Bible 2 announced

Santa Monica, California

God, in all his Glory, announced Tuesday that he is planning a sequel to his best selling novel of all time, “The Bible”, titled, “Bible 2”.

God took the time to sit down and tell me what the sequel is about and why exactly it took hundreds of years to complete.
“The story will take place ten years in the future. Jesus, now living in a Tibetan monastery and studying the wisdom of Buddha, has become more self reliant and sure of his place in the universe. He is also happily dating a local Orthodontist named Kristen.

It seems like the prodigal son finally is at peace with the world around him so he starts to let his hair down a bit.

He also finds he rather enjoys being out of the limelight. He especially loves living in a place that could care less who he is and enjoys just walking around town and not being constantly asked for a miracle.

All those years of carrying the sins of mankind were a bit much for him and this Jesus is a much more war torn and weary savior.

Gone is the Jesus of old, the forgiving Jesus if you will….no, this Jesus is much more cynical and distant.

Of course the little happiness that he does have is fleeting and trouble comes in a hellish way when the Devil comes back to settle a score.

Jesus must then gather up his posse of apostles and fight to save all he loves.

Its part redemption tale and part action adventure with a bit of romance thrown in for good measure.

The reason for such the long wait was simple….I had no idea where to go with the story. (he starts to laugh, a big, booming laugh that causes the lights in our office to flicker on and off) Once I had the initial plot line though it just flowed out of me and I wrote it within a week. I know the fans will love it.”

Look for this and Gods upcoming autobiography, “The Divine Light and the Creation of Me” coming this year, both from Bantom Publishing.

Camp Crystal Lake to reopen next summer

Despite the number of unsolved murders that have taken place within the last 30 years, the owners of Camp Crystal Lake Summer Learning Adventure are vowing to “try one last time” and reopen to the public.

The camp has seen over 114 murders take place in and around its campground. The victims, mostly young camp counselors, are routinely picked off and killed one by one over the course of the two weeks that the camp is in use.

Throughout the many openings and revamps of the camp, there is usually only one counselor left alive, usually female, and they always claim to have killed the same masked man.

It must be noted that no trace of the murderer is usually found once the police do their investigation.

The one exception to this strange case is the one that started it all. The counselor, found alone in a rowboat on the lake, claimed that a woman was to blame for the murders.

When police went to the location of the supposed murderers body they found that the head had been removed and only a torso remained.

After a thorough search the head was never recovered and the case was left open.

Despite these setbacks the camp is set to open again next summer and they are making the claim that it will be a safer time for all involved.

Parents of Kevin McCallister deemed unfit, children placed in foster care

Kate and Peter McCallister appeared before the judge today in hope of a positive resolution to all that their family has been through in recent months.

Sadly though, the judge sided with the states prosecutor and deemed the McCallisters unfit as parents, placing the children in foster care .

You may remember the story of young Kevin McCallister, who, at the age of eight was left home alone on Christmas while his family vacationed in France.

On Christmas eve, a day before his mother flew back, Kevin’s home was burglarized by Harry Lime and Marv Merchants, who were already wanted for a series of burglaries throughout the city.

Over the course of the night the two tried repeatedly to get inside the McCallister home, only to be outwitted by the precocious 8 year old who had built a series of traps after learning of the thieves plans the day before.

Almost over night young Kevin became a media sensation and the public believed the parents story of “accidentally” leaving their youngest behind.

Then it happened again.

This time though he wasn’t left at home, he was left in New York City. To make matters worse the same two crooks that he helped put behind bars had just been released on parole and wanted their revenge.

Luckily, he outsmarted the crooks yet again and survived his time on the cold New York streets.

This time the public didn’t accept the parents excuse of their son being left behind accidentally and wanted justice for young Kevin.

An investigation was underway shortly after and the McCallisters, already deemed unfit by most of the public, faced an uphill battle to prove their innocence.

That is where we find the story today and, as expected, the court agrees with the public.

When asked what she thought of the ruling Kate McCallister only had this to say, “It was an Accident, I swear. I never would have just left my son. I love my son and have always been the best mother I could be.”

Auto-bot leader refuses to transform to society

Following the recent arrest of Star Scream,(lewd and disorderly conduct outside a Boston airport hanger), the leader of the Autobots, Optimus Prime, reached out and talked to us about the troubles his kind have faced since arriving here on Earth and why representation matters.

When visiting the almost 30 foot tall Optimus, one can’t help but be overcome with a sense of awe.

Knowing this, Optimus is quick to put you at ease by inviting you in his home to see his massive collection of Glee memorabilia (something he’s been collecting since the show ended).

After being discharged from the military two years ago, Prime moved out to California and became a staunch advocate for Transformer rights.

Tragedy struck when his friend Skids(a Honda Civic turbo minivan) was sent to the auto shop in critical condition(following a late night altercation with two L.A. youths).

The lawyers for the teens tried to get the charges reduced to vandalism of a sentient automobile.(or Go-bot as some in the media like to call them) Instead though, a new law entirely was placed on the books that covered the type of hate crime perpetrated.

Quickly dubbed “form bashing” , the youths were sentenced to 2 years in prison after Skids Allspark battery drained during the time of the trial.

When asked about the incident Optimus told us that he, “hates that (his) friend died so viciously. Skids was nice to everyone he met. He loved to help and was an active road side assistance volunteer on the weekends. His death ultimately was not in vain. Our loss of Skids in the battle for Transformers rights is what helped finally win the war for all our kind.”

Soon after, Optimus opened Skids House, a non profit orginization designed to keep troubled Autobot youths off the street. “It’s a place Skids always dreamed of opening, it’s his heart and soul inside every room.” Prime said tearfully.

With the Skids trial behind him and an uncertain future ahead, Optimus didn’t know where to turn next. Luckily his new quest was found staring right back at him one day.

“It was me. I realized how unhappy I was. I was having to constantly hide from everyone, never showing my true form. Plus I hated living inside a parking garage. It was like I and all the others, Auto and Decepticon alike, were simply trapped inside a closet. We were having to shun our true selves for the masses and it made no sense for me to have to live like that.

I mean, shit, the public knew we were here. You can You Tube us at any time and thousands of battle videos pop up, it made no sense to keep hiding. I vowed from then on to not live like that, for better or worse I was coming out of the garage and refusing to transform.”

Prime then moved to San Fransisco and started his successful Con-Form campaign, which calls out to all Transformers to stop the lies and simply be themselves.

“I just want all of us to stop being whatever shell society wants us to hide behind and stop the illusion that they are something they are not. The public will accept you, like they have me, and you will be so much happier because of it.”

The urgency of his campaign stems from the recent rash of Autobot suicides that have swept the nation. So far in the last year 23 Autobot have been found dead with wheel written notes stating how hard it is for them to keep driving. It’s a trend that Optimus hopes to stop.

Penguins study

Scientists studying the mating habits of Penguins in Antarctica announced today that, contrary to popular belief, Penguins are not in any way gay.

But they may be a little bit curious.

Ronald Herrington, who was in charge of the study (funded by the popular Gay and Lesbian lifestyle magazine, Out), talked to us by phone and gave us more details,

“We were out there for about three months, during the height of Penguin mating season, and we viewed, give or take, about thirty thousand penguins coupling.

After awhile the female will lay an egg, take one look at it and decide that she really has no idea what she got herself into.

Either she thinks that she’s too young to be a mother or she still has some wild oats to sow, whatever it is, she gets the hell out of there toots sweet and leaves sole custody to the male.

Now, imagine, you’re a male penguin and you’ve just been handed an egg with your son or daughter growing inside it. You’re confused, scared and your heart has been shattered.

I ask you, what would you do in this situation?

Well, in the case of the Arctic Penguin, they turn to their best friend, who, ironically, has had the exact same thing happen to them.

To make matters worse, the ex girlfriend left them during the coldest, harshest part of the winter.

So there they are, cold, depressed and panicked because, honestly, what do they know about raising a child?

So they go to the only place a male penguin can hang out and relax…. down at the ice reef.

Luckily, there are about 15000 other guys freaking out there also so it becomes like a giant self help meeting.

Now remember, it’s freakin freezing out there, so all these guys clump together for warmth. There you all are, a pathetic bunch huddled together to protect each other from the environment and self harm.

For three months this is all these guys do, bitch, cry and bond. During this time it’s only natural for these guys to…… experiment a little…..

Shit, I was here with four other guys for three months watching these birds. I was kinda in the same boat as they were.

I’m not saying we got all gay or anything but, Tommy, our helicopter pilot, sure did try enough times.

Eventually, all the female penguins come crying back, fatter and with a lot more fur. Some of the guys listen to their sob stories and take them back. Others not so much.

The ones that don’t take them back found, we think, that they were happiest with whichever guy they hooked up with.

They didn’t know they were gay, but now they sure as hell are more comfy because of it. It happened to Tommy, it sure does happen to penguins.

Many in the scientific community are disputing Mr. Herrington’s findings, saying that he’s an idiot

Native American Tribe finds out they are Indians

The Chickasaw Tribe, whose long history in the American Southwest have been the basis for much of the imagery and lore about Native Americans.

They are also the creators of the Indian Burn,(so named for the highly annoying type of attack they would place upon unwanted white settlers that ventured into their territory, like the Iriqouis tribe, who used scalping as a way to intimidate, the Chicksaws would sneak up, grab your arm and rub both hands in the opposite direction, causing hairs to be pulled and skin to turn red, very annoying) now though, their state funding is in danger of being pulled and their people are unsure of who they actually even are.

It all began last month after Ancestry.com chose the tribe for their “Your History, Guaranteed” promotional campaign, which made the claim that the genealogy website could accurately trace almost 300 years when it came to anyone’s history.

To showcase this claim they chose a Native American tribe. Since most tribes didn’t keep records it would certainly be an impressive feat if they succeeded.

Two weeks passed and finally the announcement was made.

Not only was the challenge a success but Ancestry.com was able to trace back almost 570 years of Chickasaw lineage, even pinpointing the exact area where the tribe began.

The Chickasaws had always believed their origin area to have been somewhere in Southern Oklahoma…..They were only off by a few thousand miles.

Manipur, situated on the Eastern Frontier of India is a relatively small piece of land. It borders Burma to the east and Assam to its west. Five Hundred years ago it probably had only 20 or 30 villages in the whole of it, but one of these villages named Chickasaw, would ” eventually have it’s villagers leave their land in hope of crossing the great oceans beyond and seeking fortune in a new world”.

At least that’s what Ancestry.com found in an old temple in the Manipur History and Information center.

Since the news broke, the former Native Americans have gone into hiding.

Read more in the newest edition of USA Todays article, “Maybe the Cowboys really did fight the Indians – How some Native Americans are not so Native anymore.”

Editors note: I was a little bit pressed for time on this one, it ends abruptly because of it. I will have you know that since this all came out, the Chickasaws have embraced their new culture and are proud to be called Indians.

1 out of 50 people are living with Gymnastics: a Talker99 Special Report

Kerri Potts, age thirteen, contemplates her next move. Usually on a day like today, Kerri would avoid the cafeteria at her school in Rockport, New Hampshire and just walk straight to class, the problem she finds herself in though……

is that she really wants a bananna.

She sits silently for a moment, looks towards me and then the door….. Suddenly she springs forward, does a front handspring through the cafeteria doors, twists to the right, shakes her hips, backwards somersault, cartwheel, cartwheel again, ariel walkover(quite impressive), split leap, back handstand, flip and bow. She then grabs a bananna, turns, cartwheel, roundoff, split leap, splits and bow to no one then runs out the door. It was amazing and frightening all at once.

Everyone in the cafeteria then went back to talking as if nothing happened. My look of shock caught the attention of two girls who asked me why I looked the way I did. After stating that I had never seen someone with Gymnastics in everyday life they giggled and said,”just wait, her lunchtime show was always better”.

Young Kerri is not alone in her inspiring grief. She is just one of many who are currently diagnosed with Gymnastics, a neurological muscle disease that affects 1 out of 50 Americans.

With just a small donation of mere pennies a day, you can be young Kerris savior. Every donation goes right towards the study and, hopefully, cure that can end this debilitating muscle toning disease.

Wont it feel good to know that you were a part of the cure.

Kerri is counting on you….

North Koreans to unveil Death Ray

North Korea is planning to unveil it’s “hush hush, super top secret Proton Death Ray by mid-March, maybe mid-June” of next year, Kim Jong-un (The Jongster as he’s known in most circles) said by phone Tuesday night.

“We are planning to give those Iranians and their Super Sonic Mind Control Force Field a definite run for their money. And look out Russia, with your Weather Doppler Windy Shonisticia, you ain’t got nothing on us. Soon we will rule the world because we now have Death Ray.”

I then asked who was speaking and he said Kimmy Jong from North Korea. I told him I thought he might have dialed the wrong number. He then asked if he had called 512-456-9372? I replied “no, this was 9732.”

There was a brief silence, some heavy breathing, a muffled “shit” and then he hung up the phone.

Fraggle infestation reaches new heights

With the recent claim of Fraggle infestations being found in Baltimore, Tampa and Houston, health officials are warning people to be aware of their surroundings so they don’t become a bigger problem than they already are.

“Fraggles may look cute but they can get out of hand real fast. Before you know it you’ve got a whole gaggle of Fraggles living with you and that’s when the problems arise.” says Irrkin pest control officer Nick Hammond who talked with us by phone.

“See, Fraggles aren’t necessarily the problem. Sometimes they can be territorial but I’ve never heard of one harming anyone.

No, the problem lies in the fact that where there are Fraggles there are Doozers as well. That’s when you got issues. A Fraggle is easily exterminated but a Doozer….thats’ a whole ‘nother issue.”

doozer

Doozers doing what they do, building a potential deathtrap.

As was the case of Amelia Ranhurst of Baltimore. She was found dead last week after becoming trapped under Doozer construction that had been built while she slept. The sugary, crystallized structure they built around her filled the whole bedroom. It took rescue workers three hours to work through it and get to the body.

“Just make sure you check your clothing before you go home.” Nick added, “Fraggles are known to cling to jackets and pant legs. Just double check and you should be fine. If you travel for the holidays, remember to check all suit cases and baggage before returning, especially if you travel abroad. The bottom line is to just be aware and you should be fine.”

Reviewable

For a limited time only you can become the person you were born to be….

Hey there, let me ask you a question…. How often do you find yourself on the world wide web? Daily? Hourly?

Now, with a show of hands how many of you find yourself reading sites just like this one while online?

Wow, that’s a lot of hands….

Last question…. During all that time and after viewing all those sites, how many would rate those sites worthy of a return visit?

By the expressions on your faces I would say not very many(laughter).

What if I told you that you could have saved hours, days or even weeks of your time? If only there was a system in place to warn you about those awful sites….

What would that be worth to you?

That’s right, a lot…..

(leans in close, gets real quiet) What if I told you that YOU can be that person….YOU can be that hero that I know is lurking inside you!

If you like judging people…. If you live to criticize….. If YOU have shit to say….

Then please make Talker99 your place to say it…..

Your feedback on the current state of Talker99 is greatly appreciated.

What works? What doesn’t? What would you like to see in the future?

Knowledge is half the battle…..

My first review i ever gave was on Talker99. Shortly after writing it I was cast as the lead in High School Musical for the Disney channel. That one review changed my life. Thanks Talker99.

Tune in to this documentary about the weird, wonderful world of the little person

A new National Geographic documentary premiering tonight on the NatGeo Channel hopes to quell long held public misunderstandings about the strange and wonderful world of the Midget.

Sometimes called Dwarves, Little People or Middle Eastern Scavenger Elves, Midgets have a long held public fascination with an almost mythical lore that has spanned for centuries.

Interest in the little creatures have spiked in the recent years after the finding of the New York Tunnel Dwarf, an often talked about but rarely seen nocturnal creature.

National geographic spent almost four years filming the three part documentary.

The first part is a showcase on the thirty different types of midget, which, amazingly enough, live in every part of the world, even the water, such as the Water Crested Doodle Dwarf.

The show lets viewers see firsthand some of the dangers that some of the more vicious types can bring.

A prime example of this would be the Drunken Pool Midget, who is found in parts of Nebraska, and attacked some of the camera crew during the shoot. For the course of a day the Pool Midget seemed hellbent on destroying the entire production, even sending one woman to the infirmary.

Along with the aggressiveness there is gentleness as well.

The show will have a very touching and sometimes hilarious conception to birth segment of the Alaskan Wooded Little Person. The trials and tribulations those adorable Little People go through during mating season are well worth your viewership alone.

Part two showcases the efforts and frustrations to stop the illegal poaching of the Lithuanian Little Foot, which has seen its once flourishing population dwindle to only 300 in just three years time. The Little Foot is prized in Chinese medicine for its genitalia which is ground up to a powder and then eaten .

The long held belief in Chinese culture is that consuming the powder helps fight back age and erectile dysfunction but there is no proof that this is true. Poaching of the little foot is a billion dollar industry and the ones fighting for the Little Foot are far outgunned sadly.

Highly recommended and informative.

It starts tonight at 8, 7 central.

Recent study shows kids today have it way better than kids fifty years ago

A recent study from M.I.T. shows that children today have fewer restrictions, far less chores and way cooler toys than children 50 years ago.

These factors and many more like them have made scientists conclude that they have it way better than kids their age fifty years ago.

Mike Stizer, one of the scientists that was involved in the study had this to say, “Kids today have it so much easier than when I was a kid. I was born an raised in the sixties, I had chores, a bedtime, schoolwork piled a mile high and manners for the adults around me. Kids today have none of these. They have Playstations, freedom to run the streets due to busy, workaholic or drug addicted parents, school teachers that fear them or the system they work for due to political correctness and they have absolutely no manners whatsoever. This one kid we talked to thought manners was a guy that played for the Braves, so besides the fact that they have it better, they are also idiots.”

A kid texts while waiting for something. Kids fifty years ago didn't have texts

Ted, another scientist involved with the study and who only goes by the name of Ted, had this to say, “Kids today have the coolest shit. Kids fifty years ago had shit.”

Civil War reenactment leaves 36 dead and the South in charge

Swinton, Virginia

The Battle of Bucksdrop Ridge has long been remembered as a turning point in the Civil war.

The battle took place on April 2nd, 1862 and is known as the “place where the South started its fall” due to the significant amount of casualties the Confederates took(estimated 12000 dead and wounded).

It was this battle that bred the start of the Northern command Ulysses S. Grants well known legend.

Every year as a show of respect to those lost in this great war the town of Swinton holds its annual reenactment. It is a fun time for both the casual observer and the hardened civil war buff….and the outcome is always the same….

Until today.

We regret to inform that todays reenactment, though hard fought by all involved, was not won by the North.

Reports are still coming in but we do know that at least 36 are dead and the Southern Confederacy has taken control of the hill.

They were last seen marching north towards the Capitol and had begun to split into two camps.

Civil war reenactors from at least three states have started securing their boarders, though at presstime we are unsure which Grant reenactor will be in charge.

We will update as it develops.

Costly Project Gadget shut down due to loss of funding

The long running and costly Gadget Project has finally been shut down after an in depth review of the cities finances.

The newly elected mayor did as promised on his campaign and took a metaphoric ax to his first day, cutting the massive overspending that plagued our city

First to the block was Inspector Gadget.

The forty million dollar project was created ten years ago as this cities answer to Detroit’s successful Robocop campaign.

After many false starts and millions in spending, the Gadget Project finally unveiled its creation, Inspector Gadget.

The Inspector, like Robocop before him, was a half man, half robot multi tool that never seemed to function as promised. Most days he would just be seen hovering over the city with his helicopter blade gadget in constant motion.

Over the course of his time in the police force he had just one arrest, but even that was dismissed due to lack of evidence.

The most vocal about wanting the Gadget Project shut down was Dr. Claw of the M. A. D. Organization, whom the Inspector had tormented since its start.

You may remember when Dr. Claw successfully sued the city for millions in damages after the Inspector blew up one of his labs.

Dr. Claw gave a statement following todays announcement of the shut down, here is a brief snippet of what was said.

“For years the Gadget Project has been an embarrassment to this great city. Untold amounts in damages, lawsuits and far to much pain and suffering caused by this mechanical monstrosity. Let us now move past this blight and grow stronger for our future and our community. Thank you”

Recent survey shows public disagreement

A recent survey conducted by CNN found that twelve out of thirty people completely agreed while eight out of thirty were in complete disagreement.

These numbers are slightly up from last year which saw only ten in agreement.

Down from the previous year were the six out of thirty who were unsure compared to the staggering fourteen out of thirty from 2018.

Experts who were involved in the survey told us that the amount of unsure people from the prior year was due to the lack of public awareness to the survey.

According to the findings, most in the general public had at least some knowledge or education leading up to the survey and this was reflected in the results.

Unexplained though were the reasons behind the three out of thirty who did not care and the one out of thirty who just wrote the word “boobs” on every answer line in the survey.

More as it updates.

Dog and Cats Incredible Journey comes to a sad end

Glade, Tennessee

After becoming lost three years ago while their owners were vacationing in Yellowstone Park, the unbearably adorable and crazily mismatched duo of Buddy the Black Lab and Jasper the Calico cat have finally made it home.

One can only imagine what an incredible journey these animals have had.

Judging from the bandanna that was wrapped around Jasper, it seems at one point they were met by members of the Hells Angels who had obviously taken them and made them honorary members of the notorious biker gang.

Buddy has some scars over his left eye and it looks like he may have wrestled away a mountain lion at some point, no doubt saving Jasper in the process.

Sadly, the home that they once knew is no longer their home. Upon arrival at their former doorstep, the trio(they were joined about halfway through their journey by a Beagle named Rivers) were met with a stern look of disapproval and the boot of the old Mexican lady who now owns the home.

We spoke to Mike Richards, the Animal Control officer who was dispatched for pickup,”For three years these animals have beat the odds against them and found their way home, now, that journey has come to an end. They will be split up and placed in holding stations until either euthanasia or adoption occurs but, considering the age of these animals, it really doesn’t look good.”

For adoption information please contact your local A.S.P.C.A

Exclusive Interview: Mothman

Talker99 was granted an interview with the Mothman of Point Pleasant, West Virginia, to coincide with the release of it’s new book “Moth to a flame: The story of the Mothman”.

In it he talks candidly about the events leading up to the collapse of the Silver Bridge and how its affected him since.

Talker99– Mothman, first off, thank you for coming. It was starting to seem like this interview was never going to take place.

Mothman– Life has been pretty hectic as of late. It seems like every other day I’m being flown to some city for a book signing or t.v. appearance…. Pleasure to be here though.

T99– Let’s talk about the Silver Bridge collapse first and the events surrounding it.

MM– Man, bringing out the big guns….(lights a cigarette) Alright, shoot.

T99– The Silver Bridge collapse, which killed 46 people on January 11th, 1967, has been open for debate as to what your involvement might have actually been.

Some say you were trying to warn people, others say you were the real reason it happened, and then quite a few people choose to believe that you simply do not exist. What are your thoughts?

MM– You’re damn right I was trying to warn them! It’s not because I’m a psychic or a gypsy prophet like most believe, at the end of the day I’m just a Mothman, plain and simple.

I had been trying for a while to warn the city about that bridge, but they refused to listen. All anyone ever saw was a six foot tall moth standing in front of them with glowing red eyes. They all got the message, it’s just that they never heard it.

T99– And what was your message?

The Mothman standing on a bridge, looking spooky.

The Mothman standing on a bridge, looking spooky.

MM– That they better get up there and fix that shit ass bridge, that’s what the message was! (takes a long drag off cigarette and then throws it down angrily) The Silver Bridge was a death trap, it didn’t take much to see that.

At the time I lived within eyesight of it. I saw the accidents firsthand that would happen on that bridge! I knew that it was only a matter of time before……(as I listen, his eyes begin to glow a faint red, I can begin to see how someone in the dark might be frightened by him)……well, before something bad happened.(takes a long drag on cigarette, as he does this, one of his wings raises into the air)

When that bridge fell I just disappeared. Went down to visit some family in Georgia. I thought briefly of settling down there after I met a girl though. She worked at the local hospital and she smelled like fresh cut blueberries….she was beautiful….., but when I asked for her hand she said no. Her family just didn’t approve of her being with a Moth.

That’s all anyone saw, a six foot moth. They never could look past my wings and see the six foot man standing there as well……

I don’t harbor any ill will toward them though. It was a different time and there was still a lot of social injustice going around for anyone that was a minority. There still is I guess……I honestly thought Obama would have changed that sort of mind frame in people……and maybe he did for the blacks, but for the Mothmen, well, lets just say that not only am I not allowed to sit in the front of the bus, I’m not even allowed on the bus. It’s a shame really….
