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. ”

Reminder: 48 hours until Opposite Day

With less than 48 hours to go until the start of the annual Opposite Day, city officials are working overtime to secure all banking institutions and government buildings for a smooth return to normalcy after the event.

For those not wishing to partake on Opposite day festivities, you are being reminded to stay indoors and secure all points of entry to your home.

Protests have been springing up all over the nation this past week asking for an end to Opposite Day but they have fallen on deaf ears.

The protesters, who have been dubbed, Oppositioners, are calling for every city to have a silent vigil an hour before the start of O. D. so as to remember those that lost their lives in last years festivities.

Critics of the Oppositioners are being very vocal about how foolhardy of an idea this is on account that it gives people a very limited amount of time to get home and prepare.

As a safety reminder, Opposite Day takes place over a 24 hour period and allows all involved to do the exact opposite of their regular behavior, even murder.

Be safe, be aware, be Vigilante.

Woman receives late night wrong number

Brenda Moore, a resident of Huxley, Iowa, was awoken last night at 2 A.M. to the sound of her phone ringing.

When she finally picked it up she found herself speaking to Cthulhu, the Great Old One who lived many ages before there were men.

The call, which lasted all of thirty seconds, was a simple dialing error on the part of Cthulhu(pronounced Kt-tol-ulhu), who was looking for a number ending with 364 but had mistakenly dialed 643 instead.

We talked to Brenda about the call and she told us that The Great Old One who is a monster the size of a mountain, “were nothing but nice, and once they realized their mistake were full of apologies.” She then added, “It was the exact opposite of what I thought Cthulhu would be like, especially since he has a heart that is the darkness and which has always been…. Plus I had no idea he would be British.”

July 4th….the Worlds holiday

“Happy 4th of July”

It’s a saying said round the world and spoken in every language. From Bob in India to Carol in Nigeria, everyone coming together to celebrate our independence.

When the aliens first arrived back in July of 96, many had hoped that they came in peace. That hope was short lived when suddenly and without warning they attacked, killing millions and reducing whole cities to nothing but piles of rubble.

That was on July 2nd, 1996.

On July 3rd we took the fight to them.

Every nation around the world sent the best their country had to offer straight into the fire. It was one of the largest coordinated attacks ever attempted by the military but it became the single greatest Intel blunder the world had ever seen.

“We sent those fighter pilots to their graves that day and it never should have happened.” Rich Garcia, July fourth expert and historian explained,

“We sent them in there knowing full well we couldn’t beat the aliens. The alien tech was too advanced and our military was simply not able to handle the fight. At least that’s what was thought at the time.

Years later we found out through declassified documents that we knew exactly what the aliens had. The powers involved kept it quiet though and in doing so they murdered millions more.

One of the alien ships crashed in the forties and we had been reverse engineering their tech ever since. It was so top secret the military didn’t even know about it

Until it was too late.”

We still had one more weapon at our disposal but it’s impact would be at a great cost.

“No one in their right mind would ever consider to drop a nuclear weapon, especially not on our own soil….but that’s exactly what we did.” Shirley Draven, Independence historian told us by phone,

“At 9:15 p.m. July 3rd, we did the unthinkable and dropped a 40 ton warhead in the center of Houston, Texas……it’s just a wasteland now, uninhabitable until 2120.

And it had zero effect on the aliens…..just sad really.”

Camp Crystal Lake to reopen next summer

Posted on July 4 by Talker99

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.

Talker99 Special Report: Pegasus

Aside | Posted on July 4 by Talker99

As everyone knows, the Unicorn is a magical and majestic horse that will appear whenever they are most needed.

For years Unicorns have been appearing here and there, helping men and women in dire straights and (usually) leading them on the path that they are destined for.

As the old saying goes, “the only thing a Unicorn can’t help is your Herpes.”

But what about the Pegasus?

They are certainly a sight to behold and a definite animal of breathtaking beauty …..

But are they really all that magical?

The answer, sadly, is no they are not.

We talked to Dick Ying, who teaches a class at Ohio State which covers both the Unicorn and Pegasus and the lore that goes with them…. this is what he told us..

“I’m here to tell you now, the Pegasus is not, and never will be, magical.

Sure, a lot of people cried magic when a Pegasus won the Kentucky Derby(Fly By Night-1996), but it just flew over the other horses, nothing else.

It’s not like it cast a spell, which would have been magic. Pegasus can’t even talk like a Unicorn. They are very limited in mental reasoning which is why they were put on the endangered list this past year.

Think about all the windows pegasus have flown into in just a five year time frame. Everyone knows at least one person who has been killed or injured by a pegasus stupidly crashing through a window.

Remember Dubai? All those people killed after that palomino pegasus flew through the top floor hotel restaurant and ignited a gas line…. Horrible. ”

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.”

The Little p Ranch, a bit of Hollywood History

Have you ever wondered where movie midgets come from?

Did you watch the Wizard of Oz and ask yourself how they got so many Dwarves in the same place, especially considering how territorial a Dwarf can be.

If you answered yes to these questions and still find yourself asking many more, then come on down to the Little p Ranch, located outside of Red Lake, Texas.

Little p has been the growth spot for Hollywoods Little Person, Dwarf, Midget or Elf that has been put on film within the last seventy-five years.

Snuggled deep in a West Texas valley, the Little p is a simple, family owned ranch that specializes in Midget cultivation and farming.

We talked to Mitch Greenberg, the owner of Little p, and he told us a bit of the ranches amazing history, “My family started this place back in 1934, back when midget farming was a relatively new idea. My great, great grandfather somehow got the contract for the Wizard of Oz shoot and the ranch was the chief trainer and supplier of dozens of type of little people throughout the filming. Judy Garland said in an interview that she kept some of the dwarves for herself when filming was wrapped and that had it not been for a well trained Shepard’s Dwarf that she worked with then she probably would have had a nervous breakdown.

Shortly thereafter we got contracts with every major studio in Hollywood and the rest is history.

Here at the ranch we grow over sixty types of little person, from the Siberian Dwadeldwarf to the rare and extremely beautiful Morocco Midget, which only grows for one week a year in June. There are other midget farms out there but none have the kind of little people we have.

Plus, the other farms sell their midgets for lab testing, we are a strictly no kill farm. A lot of people don’t understand how smart little people truly are, I couldn’t bare to see them sold if I knew they were being dissected in a high school biology class, like the Japanese do.”

If you’d like to see a little bit of Hollywood history, come down to the Little p Ranch. They’ve got group tour rates and interactive games for the kiddies. Also, if you’re seeking to adopt a little Person they do that too. For only 25 dollars you can take home a rescued Midget or Dwarf. All the proceeds go back into the shelter and helps fight the cruel sport of Midget throwing, which is practiced in most countries

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.

If you wish to learn more how you might be able to help please contact your local Skids House.

Last living Thundercat dies in Boston Zoo

The first and only Thundercat to have ever been placed in captivity, died yesterday at the age of 43. Sadly, he was the last of his species as well.

The Thundercat was native to Nepal and first marked endangered by the IUCN in the late eighties. It was soon realized that any hope to save the species was impossible after the total number recorded came to just 18 known adults living in the wild.

Conservationists rushed to support but in 1994 its last living male was found shot by poachers in Northern Bhutan. The Thundercat, nicknamed Lion-O by the field activists that rescued it, was then placed in critical care at the Sundarbans Tiger reserve in Bangladesh.

When the reserve could no longer care for the animal, a call was sent out to try to find a final home for it. The Boston Zoo quickly stepped forward and built a 5.6 million dollar shelter. After much hype and publicity, it finally opened in the spring of 96.

Upon arriving, Lion-O lazily looked out of his carrier and onto his new home, he then turned in a circle five or six times, stretched and promptly went to sleep.

Most fear that the Bengal Tiger, which has a base of less than 2,200, is next in line for extinction.

Efforts are underway to save it but illegal poaching and government bureaucracies keep things two steps back for every half a step forward that the tigers protectors try and make. It does not look good for the Bengal.

Thundercats. Ho!

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

Wheres Waldo?

Posted on July 2 by Talker99

For over twenty years, the man known only as Waldo the Traveler, has stolen some of the worlds greatest treasures out of the most secure buildings in every corner of the world.

Police are at a loss as to who this mysterious man could even be.

There are some leads, such as, he doesn’t work alone.

There is also the fact that his heists usually take place on the locations busiest day of the year for tourists, making it incredibly difficult for investigators to gather evidence.

We spoke with Terry Sands, one of the detectives handling the case of the Fantastic Journey, (where Waldo stole four separate works valued at 12 million)

“Since taking on the Fantastic Journey investigation, I have been everywhere you could possibly imagine. It has taken me to seven continents, 19 countries and dozens of cities and towns, all in the hope of finding the elusive Waldo.

We do know that he’s not alone in his crimes. Witnesses always report seeing a man dressed as an old white wizard. Also usually reported are dozens and dozens of people wearing the same white and red striped shirt just as Waldo wears.

It’s like Waldo is simply playing with us.

It’s one of the most frustratingly fun searches I’ve ever been apart of. We’ll catch him though, it’s only a matter of time.”

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

Posted on July 1 by Talker99

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

Posted on July 1 by Talker99

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.

Talker99 Breaking News: Outbreak of Saturday Night Fever in midwest, death toll rising

At least 17 people in Chicago, IL have been stricken with the deadly Saturday Night Fever virus and more are expected before the night is through.

The C. D. C. Is asking that if you have symptoms related to the virus that you seek medical attention as a precaution.

James Slovack of the C. D. C had this to say, “We are trying to stop this before it gets worse, so if you are even showimg moderate symptoms, please seek medical help. This is a fast moving virus that kills, on average, 60 percent of those that contract it, with the other 40 percent unable to gain proper use of their motor skills. We need to stop this before it gets worse. ”

The virus, first discovered in the late 1970s after a midnight screening of the film its named after, seemed to destroy all it came in contact with.

The Ohio town where the first outbreak occured lost 38 percent of its population within a weeks time. The ones who survived were never the same, leaving many placed in 24 hour total care facilities.

The virus, spreads visually and quickly takes over the part of the brain that controls muscle movement. Within 2 hours of catching it the legs begin to move in a rhythmic sway. Within four hours, the hips and arms swing, lifting in unison to the legs. After 3 days of constant perpetual motion the body just collapses in exhaustion and the patient dies.

The virus is closely related to the Jungle Fever virus that broke out in the late 80s. Scientists had thought they had eradicated jungle fever until two teenagers caught the film that it had stemmed from late one night on TBS.

Luckily only four people came up sick but the C. D. C warns it could happen again.

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.”

Is Timberlake bringing Sexy back?

According to sources close to Justin Timberlake, the actor/singer is seriously considering bringing Sexy back sometime this year.

You may remember when Justin brought Sexy back in the summer of 2006. While it was a critical and commercial success, it had problems in the fact that those other boys didn’t know how to act.

Despite this setback, sources close to Justin are telling us that he is seriously going to go ahead and be gone with it while making up for things that he once lacked.

We’ll keep you posted.
