Jellystone CSI


We never knew what happened to all of those young hikers who disappeared in Jellystone. They would come and visit with Yogi and Boo Boo and of course Smokey who had a condo here.


They would come and see the sites and go off on a hike and where never heard from again. At first we suspected Yogi who as you all know was a crack addict and a big time pussy hound. But he was in the can when the last victim was found. And she was a lesbian so we knew she wasn't Yogi's kind of poontang. She was the first one we found who wasn't a charred bag of bones buried deep in the forest. She was found spread eagled over a campfire with the lanyard from a campaign hat wrapped around her neck.


So we turned our investigation towards Smokey.

Camel toe and jelly stone. Lethal...

Great pilot episode. I hope it gets renewed.

Gotta watch out for bears of all kinds, but especially those who start conversations with "Only you...".

If you go down to the woods today
You're sure of a big surprise.
If you go down to the woods today
You'd better go in disguise.

For ev'ry bear that ever there was
Will gather there for certain, because
Today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic.

Beneath the trees where nobody sees
They'll hide and seek as long as they please
Cause that's the way the teddy bears have their picnic.

If you go down to the woods today
You'd better not go alone.
It's lovely down in the woods today
But safer to stay at home.

For ev'ry bear that ever there was
Will gather there for certain, because
Today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic.

Snuffy says smoke it!

MamaM said...

If Snuffy constitutes the Chickelit Version of a straightforward apology in a place where no one apologizes, the MamaM will accept, because she's a fool for chickens of all kinds. If not, she is game to keep playing the cards dealt.

At MamaM's home in the cold north, the outdoor chickadees will sometimes alight on her open hand and eat the seeds she holds out if she bundles up for protection against the cold and patiently stands by the feeder long enough for them to consider her part of the landscape. It's a feeling like none other, a sense of weird connection, like a tiny random point of electricity touching then gone.

The choice is yours. Bear hunts involve larger poop and more drama.

MamaM said...

Absurd: from ab surdus, deaf, insensible, inconsistent with reason.

chickelit said...

Ignore: "not to know, to be ignorant of," from Fr. ignorer, from L. ignorare "not to know, disregard," from ignarus "not knowing, unaware" (see ignorant).

MamaM said...

to be ignorant of

Is this Part 2 of The Veiled Apology?

chickelit said...

Nope. It's still your move I guess.

chickelit said...

Snuffy says smoke it was just a phrase my brother and I made up as kids (sorry for the free association). It came from a cigarette ashtray my mom had in the car. The real phrase was Smokey says snuff it. The ashtray looked something like this: link

There's no apology due IMO but please explain if you feel otherwise.

Thanks

MamaM said...

Guess???
As in: To predict without sufficient information; to assume, presume, or assert without sufficient information?

Like what went on for days while MamaM was assumed and presumed without sufficient information to be someone(or another) she is not??

Oh, well. Hope springs eternal with the Mama. She had the chickelit pegged as a Bird of Brilliance and Valor, similar to the Great Mouse Reepicheep, a courtier skilled with plume and sword. But she's since scaled back her vision, after encountering something more like Eustace, full of knowledge, with more to learn.

chickelit said...

Sorry to disappoint Mama.

Unfortunately a key comment of mine after my 2:12 one failed to stay up for very long even though I posted it twice.

My doubts about the neutrality of Trooper York are increasing. This mysterious shit happened once before.

And that's the real shame.

I hope it magically reappears somehow.

MamaM said...

"'The trouble between Eustace and Reepicheep arrived sooner than might have been expected. Before dinner next day, when the others were sitting round the table waiting (being at sea gives on a magnificent appetite), Eustace came rushing in, wringing his hand and shouting out:

"That little brute has half killed me. I insist on it being under control. I could bring an action against you, Caspian. I could order you to have it destroyed."

At the same moment Reepicheep appeared. His sword was drawn and his whiskers looked very fierce, but he was as polite as ever. "I ask your pardons all," he said, "and especially her Majesty's. If I had known that he would take refuge here I would have awaited a more reasonable time for his correction."

..."Stop it," spluttered Eustace, "go away. Put that thing away. It's not safe. Stop it I say. I'll tell Caspian. I'll have you muzzled and tied up."

"Why do you not draw your own sword, poltroon!" cheeped the Mouse. "draw and fight or I'll beat you black and blue with the flat."

"I haven't got one," said Eustace.'"

Darcy said...

Oh, I know some asshole isn't calling chickelit cowardly. I know that would not happen here.

It ain't gonna fly. Got it?

MamaM said...

Eustace is no coward, Ma'am. Mostly misinformed, but he comes eventually comes to see things differently. As MamaM said, there's always hope.

Darcy said...

Nobody cares whether someone here meets your approval or not.

blake said...

Ah, but that's how you know that MamaM is a genuine identity®, and not the sock puppet of a long time commenter: Her willingness to jump in and judge people she barely knows!

Also a lack of affectations like talking about "herself" in the third person and an obsession with genitals.

Sorry I ever doubted "her".

The Dude said...

Hold it - MamaM is Titus and also Bissage and America's Politico? This is truly getting confusing. How many socks can one person own?

Trooper York said...

Something is up with the spam filter. I went in search of your comments chickelit and got them to post. As I have said before, I would never intentionally delete your comments.

If someone can explain how to fix this problem I would be happy to fix it.

As it is just let me know and I will check the spam folder and make sure the comments make it to the blog.

MamaM said...

Shucks chickelit...the long awaited comment finally comes up and it's too little, too late; with the opportune moment to make good, gone like water under the bridge.

Your defense team was already here, implementing their Double Bind/Double Blind Eek & Squeak Protection Plan. For one scary moment, it looked like curtains for the literary mouse who dared stand and utter the word paltroon! What was thrown was little more than invective, so the mouse lived to spar another day.

Only Reepicheep remained unmoved.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty," he said, "are you going to tolerate this mutiny, this poltroonery? This is a panic, this is a rout."

"Row, row," bellowed Caspian. "Pull for all our lives. Is her head right, Drinian? You can say what you like Reepicheep. There are some things no man can face."

"It is, then, my good fortune not to be a man," replied Reepicheep.


MamaM's good fortune too.

chickelit said...

Thanks for finding the comment Troop. I figured it wasn't lost lost.

Thanks Darcy and blake!

MamaM, you've become too much effort to even try to figure out.

MamaM said...

Occam's razor.

chickelit said...

Occam wore a beard, silly.

MamaM said...

Or, put another way:

"... the simplest hypothesis proposed as an explanation of phenomena is more likely to be the true one than is any other available hypothesis, that its predictions are more likely to be true than those of any other available hypothesis, and that it is an ultimate a priori epistemic principle that simplicity is evidence for truth." Richard Swinburne

Darcy said...

*yawn*

Oh hi, chickelit! You're very welcome, my friend.

MamaM said...

I feel charming,
Oh, so charming
It's alarming how charming I feel!
And so pretty
That I hardly can believe I'm real.

chickelit said...

I feel charming,
Oh, so charming


You're more quarky.

reader_iam said...

Is that you, John Edwards?

(Sorry, couldn't resist. Those lyrics will forever remind me of that hairdressing video and no longer the musical, alas.)

reader_iam said...

I'd still take Rita Moreno over John Edwards, though.

chickelit said...

Hi Darcy! hi reader!

reader_iam said...

Of course it was the Maria character that sang "I Feel Pretty." But Moreno was hotter than Wood, who, if I recall correctly, was dubbed, anyway.

OK. I'll drop this OT silliness now.

chickelit said...

OK. I'll drop this OT silliness now

But I love your OT silliness. It should beats the on-topic alternative.

chickelit said...

"sure beats" not "should beat"

lol
