Oh hai. Dis Waffles here. We are in Oregon today. Turns out we had a bit ob a panic in Indiana yesterday, and the dinosaurs were really not a threat, but you can’t be too careful, you know? If you see dinosaurs, you don’t wait around to find out if they want to eat you. That’s my motto. Some people fink maybe we ober reacted, but you hab to do what you need to do to stay safe. Indiana was quite pretty, we could tell as we were running out.
Today we are in Oregon and we saw some ob the beautiful landscapes like Crater Lake, and Mount Hood. Barry missed out because he habs been in line for BooDoo Doughnuts all morning. Priorities. But he got doughnuts for all ob us, and we are going to meet Oakley for a show at the Hollywood Theater! After that we might just hang out and try to find out what makes Portland weird. Happy Labor Day eberybody!
Fanks Oakley for gibbing allowing us to hab bizness here in Oregon. Maybe we can join you on one ob your libe reports from the Sputnik.
Today we are in Indiana, and it started out ok. We had lunch at a cute place on Main street and bisited the unibersity looking for some Hoosiers, but all ob a sudden there was mayhem breaking loose! There are dinosaurs eberywhere and chaos is ensuing – mass hysteria!!
We don’t want to mess wiff no dinasaurs, so we are going to Oregon next where hopefully there are less giant reptiles.
Also we want to aboid the Pukwudgies ob Indiana – we hear one of the most popular places to see them is at the Mound State Park in Anderson. The Pukwudgies come from the legends of the Lenape people who lived in Indiana long before white settlers.* The Pukwudgies are said to be 2 to 3 feet tall goblin-like creatures that lurk in forests. They transform into animals and use their mischievous ways for their own good. And that means it’s not for our good, so best to not seek them out.
Fanks to Oakley Jennings for these Indiana licenses, but I’m glad you are meeting us in Oregon instead, I fink it might be a little safer.
Dis Baxter, and today we are in Souff Carolima. We like ghost stories and mysteries, so we spent all ob our time searching for the Grey Man. It’s hurricame season, so he’s probably wondering around more often right now. We thought we would look for him because he’s not a scary ghost, but probably a pretty nice one. We hab some ghost busting gear, so wish us luck!
Although there are variations ob the legend, the most common is that ob a lub story – a young man, who had been at sea for a very long time, was trabeling from Charleston to see his fiancée to ask her hand in marriage.
Hoping to shorten the trip because ob an approaching storm, the man and his horse would take a shortcut through the marsh just outside ob Pawleys Island. As the sun began to set, his horse became bogged down in the pluff mud and threw the man to the ground. The water and thick mud entrapped him and pulled him under the surface, killing him.
Devastated by the news ob her lover’s death, the young woman started taking regular walks on the beach to clear her mind.
She would later come across a figure standing in her usual paff – it was a familiar man dressed in all gray. As she approached the figure, she would recognize the face ob her lover.
Knowing he had been killed, the woman began to qwestshun the man – but all he could do was warn her to leabe the island, a serious storm was approaching. He then vanished.
The woman rushed home and told her family what had happened. In shock from the sighting, they heeded his warning and gathered their belongings and headed inland.
Soon after the area would be lashed by a powerful hurricane – leaving only one home untouched – hers.
The not-so-menacing ghost often rebeals himself to a select number of people warning them to leave before the storm hits. Those who see him and heed his warning return to find their home and property untouched from the passing storm.
Fank you so much Rebekah Buchanan James for bestowing us wiff Souff Carolima licenses, and telling us about the Grey Man. We didn’t see him dis time, but maybe we will next time!
Hai, it’s Waffles. We took today off to make an extra long weekend to do some bizness trabeling! Today we are in Arizona to see the Grand Camyon, but it made Fish and Reuben a little nerbous to get too close the edge, they were worried about falling in, so we stayed on the flatter part. I looked ober the edge a little, it’s really big! It sure is pretty, but we also are nerbous about rattle snakes, so I fink we should go eat now.
Fank you so much Shari Kanehl for AZ bizness access – want to meet us for dinner indoors?? Do you hab a 50 Taters here?
It habs been decided. 2024 Calemdar options will include the classic Snacks Desk Calemdar, and the choice ob three different wall calemdars: Memes, Babies (they are still babies so eberyfind is game), or Year ob the Fish. Somebody asked for it, and we answered. He said he was ok wiff it. Abailable now for pre-order! They will ship in October. Same as last year, the bottom part is extra fun wiff Sock days, extra pics and fun days ob the year. More to come, but if you want to order now, you can do it!
Today at school we are doing lite brite art and trying to turn it into a programming language to run a bigger computer. I just like playing wiff the lites and making flowers.
It’s me Waffles wiff a report on our Internashunal Bizness trabels to Nebada. Begas habs been a whirlwind! So far we hab eaten at three buffets – the Wynn buffet, which was delicious, they had eberyfing and it was a cute garden enbironment, then Ceasers Palace buffet and we eated all we could eat there – the trick is not to fill up on stuff like salad, and the Wicked Spoon for a late night buffet snack. Then we bisited the neon grabeyard to see all the old signs, and we watched the fountains at the Bellagio, and we met Elbis downtown at Fremont Street and he told Fish he could perform a wedding for him someday, and he thought dat would be pretty cool. We had another Buffet at The Mirage and saw the tigers and dolphins they hab there in the back yard and now we are going to see a show and probably hab another buffet after the show.
Hey, where did Fish go? Anybody see where he went?
Fank you to Margie Rick for helpin us wiff Nebada bizness!!
