Turning to pg. 2-
YIKES!!! JA's Jeep came to a {{{screeching}}} halt when he saw the road warrior standing like a....warrior in the middle of the road!!! Gosh, he thought instantly, if I only had my mic I could interview this guy!!! Where on earth did he come from??? What were his origins??? Was he a relative of Mel Gibson??? Awl these questions passed through his mind in a matter O milliseconds!!! I hope that he doesn't kill me, or drag me back to his `camp` and put me in a cage to fight another day! I wouldn't be prepared for THAT cuz I left my sweats back at the cabin in the woods!

Jimbo knew that this was a late-breaking news story and opportunity that just couldn't be missed though! With or without a Mic in his hand. He quickly grabbed a pen and notepad and cautiously began to approach the crazed Road Warrior to ask him a few questions. After all, Jimbo had worked with and interviewed some of the most insane people on the planet in his career in the past. So, this was nothing new to him. "Mr. Wez, sir...", Jimbo asked, "What are your thoughts on Cow farts and global warming? Should we or should we not ban drinking straws in America? What about illegal immigration? Do walls really help to protect us, or only divide us? Your thoughts, sir." “AAAAAAAAAAHH!!", Wez screamed aloud! “No! No more talk ! We go in! We kill! We’ll kill them!”, he shouted angrily. "Holy!", Jimbo thought to himself. "What the heck was I thinking? The man is a complete and utter lunatic. A stark raving madman. It's like trying to reason with a savage, or a member of Antifa." So he quickly hopped back into his Jeep and hurriedly sped off leaving the road warrior behind in a cloud of dust.

AND...Leaving the road warrior...in the road! As JA gunned his engine, he looked in his rear view mirror and saw that he had left the warrior standing in the dust looking like a ghost! Speaking of ghosts/did he c one in the cabin in the woods on the last night or was it simply an aberration that had haunted him so much since childhood! Had it followed him all this way to the cabin in the woods??? Had it hitched a ride in the back of the jeep??

Yes, it was all coming back to him now, memories of his childhood days of so long ago, and the dreaded ghost. The ghost that he had named Blackbeard, because it looked exactly like a swashbuckling pirate from straight out of the old movies. Blackbeard was a mischievous prankster who enjoyed playing jokes on poor Jimbo, like embarrassing him in public. Such as the times that he would stand next to Jimbo's desk while invisible and let out a loud, long, obnoxious fart that would have the entire class rolling with laughter and pointing fingers at Jimbo thinking that he was the culprit. Or the times that Blackbeard would take food from his tray during lunchtime in the cafeteria and throw it at another student thus causing a big food fight to ensue and then Jimbo ending up being sent to detention class after school. Or the times that Blackbeard would hide Jimbo's pants from him in the morning causing him to miss the school bus and be late for class. But that couldn't have been Blackbeard I saw back at the cabin, he thought to himself? "I haven't seen that practical joker in years now. I thought that he had finally moved on by now. No, it must have just been my eyes playing tricks on me. Yeah, that is all it was." He calmly reassured himself.

Just kickin back and driving along gave JA some time to further reminisce about that scoundrel BLACKBEARD! He must be pretty WHITEBEARD by now, chuckling to himself! Just then an urgent call came in on his cell! It was the boss of CNN telling him that the bonehead in the WH just declared another fake emergency! JA started sweating in anticipation now of being one of the correspondents in the oval office pool again to ask a couple choice questions of INDIVIDULAL 1! He better STEP ON IT!!!

Just then, Blackbeard himself suddenly appeared on the passenger seat of Jimbo's Jeep out of nowhere! "Aye, me Matey! What course might we be sailin'?" Blackbeard said in his ghostly, eerie, yet familiarly haunting voice.

Jim was feverishly trying to drive to the station and had NO time to mess around with BLACKBEARD! So he reached over, opened the door and shoved BLACKBEARD out!!!

"Now, is that any way to treat an old friend, Jimmy me boy?" Said Blackbeard from the back seat. Annoyed, Jimbo replied, "The name is Jimbo. Mr. Jimbo to you. And I'm not a boy. I'm a man now." "Oh, are ye now, Laddie. I see.", the pirate retorted, chuckling to himself. Then he began to break out in a song. That was just one of Blackbeard's many annoying habits, his fondness for singing songs. Particularly Disco songs from the 70's and 80's. "Dancin' and singin' and movin' to the groovin'! And just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted play that funky music white boy. Play that funky music right. Play that funky music white boy. Lay down that boogie and play that funky music till you die. Till you die, Oh, till you die! Arrrh!" "Will you just stop that?!" Jimbo loudly exclaimed. "And how in the heck did you find me? I thought that I had been rid of you years ago. Where have you been hiding all of these years?" "Oh, you can't get rid of me that easily, Jimmy. Let's just say that I've been travelling the world for a bit. Sailin' the seven seas and seein' the sites. But now your old pal is back. So let's catch up on old times then, shall we?", Blackbeard replied, then burped loudly and snickered to himself.

This is the end, my friend. Which is fine with me. After all, this sort of thing isn't as easy to do as you people out there might think it is. And from here... I shall bid you all now a fond Farewell and Adieu.

I understand. It was really fun, I must admit. But, I just can't see the sense in working this hard and entertaining a few dozen lurkers out there like this day after day without receiving even a nary of critical appraise, comment or response, or even just a little tiny contribution of some sort from somebody else somewhere out there to go along with our efforts. But, thanks for playing along with me though!

OK! It was a cold foggy wintry night! The snow was falling quite heavy now and the wind was howling outside and the branches were scrapping against the windowpane! I began to feel a sense of foreboding!~! But, I also had a crackling fire burning brightly and warmly, in the fireplace, and enjoying my next glass of wine. Since awl of my friends were busy with other `things`and I couldn't get a date to save my life, I decided to spend another Saturday night alone since I ain't got nobody!
Knock! Knock!! KNOCK!!! at the door as the KNOCKS!!!! got LOUDER! 3 KNOCKS in a row can only spell* trouble with a CAPITAL `T`!

Upon answering it, BitterSweet was pleasantly surprised to see standing before her very eyes the most amazingly hunky and handsome man that she had ever seen! He was absolutely perfect in every way and a dream come true, especially on a cold, lonely evening such as this. In fact, BitterSweet even pinched herself just to see if maybe she were actually dreaming. "Ouch!" She muttered softly under her breath. "Nope. I'm definitely not dreaming." She quickly composed herself, put on her most sexy, flirtatious smile, and greeted the man warmly. "Well, hello there. And who might you be, Tiger?" "Howdy, ma'am. Package for you. Please sign here on the bottom line." Disappointed, BitterSweet signed the receipt, thanked the delivery man, and took the package inside. Setting the package on the coffee table, she slumped back down on the couch and took another sip of wine. While enjoying the buzz from the wine, her attention soon focused back onto the package. She suddenly noticed that there was no return address on it at all. "Hmmm? That's strange?", she thought to herself. "Now whoever would be sending me a package at this time of year?" She pondered to herself. "I wonder what could possibly be inside?"

ALSO, while pondering the package, she thought to herself; My name is Gertrude! Th!s must be the wrong address! They were prolly looking for that scary witches cottage at the top O the hill, down the street!~! Tears began to flow from her eyes* (making her mascara sting and smoosh all over her eyes* where she eventually started to look like a raccoon)! Even her cat started wondering who she was!~! What is wrong with this picture, she chided! Maybe I'll PoP some PoPcOrn and watch a scary movie!!! Checking out her Library of scary movies, she finally picked- Scary Movie to watch!
When another TAP on the door occurred, Gertrude was prepared to hand over the package to the rightful person wen she opened the door...
But was it UPS, USPS, FED-EX???

Upon answering the door this time, Gertrude was shocked and amazed to see a man in a suit standing there holding a big check for 1 Million Dollars! He was accompanied by two beautiful ladies holding balloons and flowers. "OMG!", Gertrude thought to herself. "I Won!". Visions of quitting her job and travelling around the world to exotic locations immediately danced through her head. "Congratulations, Ms. BitterSweet! You are our lucky winner in the Publisher's Clearing House Sweepstakes!", the man said. Just then a big frown formed on Gertrude's saddened face. "But... I'm, I'm not BitterSweet.", she told them disappointedly. "She lives over there in the cottage at the top of the hill." "Oh, we're so sorry. Our mistake." the man replied. "But here, have this bottle of champagne as a consolation prize. Our compliments." And then they quickly scurried off embarrassed. "Oh, shoot!", Gertrude thought to herself as she closed the door and slumped back down on the couch.
