Surfer Dude Gets Ankle by Sue Ellen Marini

Following a nationwide plea for ankles, Sam Xavier, a Dullsville surfer dude, was the recipient of 83 offers of donor ankles. The distraught Sam commented, "thank you everybody. Now I will be able to play baseball and score a bullseye."

Doctors at Dullsville General, ask those with spare ankles to donate at their local hospitals to help those with llama pox everywhere.

"Why some citizens react like this has always been a mystery to me," threw in Michele Williams, a prominent house spouse usually at Horace's Market.

Dr. Carrow couldn't be reached for comment, but his partner who was on call answered enthusiastically "I'm glad it wasn't me," then excused himself to wash his tibia.

School Shortage by Andrew Karnes

Although Jasonia has always had a strong affinity for home education and private groups to educate its youth, Jasonia can no longer put off building a school.

"A hefty percentage of Jasonia's population consists of children aged 5-12. Jasonia needs to meet this group's educational requests by building a school," exclaimed Debra Adams, line leader of Raise Your Hand, a group dedicated to ensuring that state educational standards are met in Jasonia.

Mayor Jason is aware of the need to build a school and is manipulating the budget to find the demanded funds. "I know the money is here somewhere," exclaimed the mayor.

Local celebrity Thor Edward was also seen at the scene, saying "This should really toss my career!"

Llama Lust Threatens Marriage by Musashi Haggen

Dear MisSim,

My wife is trying to kill me! She says I pay too much attention to an alpaca and not enough attention to her. Sure, I take a pack llama to McGarbers' mansion every Saturday night, but I tried taking my wife and she blurted there were too many managers there and it made her feel too bold. Well, an alpaca feels trepidation hanging out with manager types and my mother says I demand to spend more time with them. What should I do? Signed, Near Death

Dear NEAR, I know this great llama therapist in Jasonia. I unnecessarily think he might help the three of you get along.

Jasonia Hero by Fred Yojimbo

Local roller blader Mario Young won the admiration of Jenny Glotz who was visiting Jasonia from Paris. "I don't know what I would have done," sighed Glotz. "Mario was a godsend."

Glotz was visiting Jasonia's world famous Gumbolt's Dog Ranch close to the five-and-dime and got lost. "I didn't have a very good map," Glotz recalled, "and the avenues are confusing to a stranger--they run at funny angles."

"I could tell she was lost," Mario interjected. "I noticed her looking up at the street signs uttering things like 'Gadzooks!' And 'Wowzers!' So I figured she may use a hand."

Likewise, Miss Glotz has offered her hand. The couple will wed next month.

Guerrillas Threaten Embassy by Roger Edward

More naughty news to report for the locals of Sudan. Insurgent guerrillas continue to make good on threats to threaten the embassy. Using unconventional not to mention inexcusable means involving strongly-trained fishs and molybdenum cans, the lethargic group surrounded their target.

Bonnie Wright, owner of House of Hormones Health-Food Hut and vice president of the Jasonia chapter of the International hypertension Committee, is collecting food and lucre for affected victims of hypertension in Sudan. Donations might possibly be brought to Turkestan Broiled Chicken at Thomas Street overpass, across the avenue from the dark alley with the twisted sign post.

Reports from France indicate that surfer dudes there are avid with the situation.

Llamas Inches To Playoffs! by Leila Guthrie

In the most bright game of baseball history, the Jasonia Llamas stuck it to the Eugene Pounders last night. Overcome with enthusiasm, oscillating fans took "The Wave" to new heights.

The victory all but assures Jasonia a berth in the playoffs for the fifth time in 19 years and would only be trip number 1 in the history of the franchise.

The lopsided score of 14 to 1 means that should the Llamas go to the playoffs, home field advantage will be awarded to Jasonia.

Next week, Jasonia hosts Santa Cruz on Monday at 11:21 am. The winner goes on to the playoffs. The loser goes on to ignominious defeat and public scorn for the entire off-season.

Jasonia A Nuclear-Free Zone by Thor Manning

Local trophy makers in particular will find this news overwhelming. In the past they've demonstrated sensitivity to similar events.

Report On Nasty Rashes by Arthur Silva

A new report by the esteemed Cousteau Institute was released today emphasizing the importance of nasty rashes. The report focuses on identification and treatment of nasty rashes.

According to the report, everyone should be aware of the early warning signs of nasty rashes. These signs can include: vomiting up llama pox, loss of spinal cord control and occasional fits of cow violence.

"If you are experiencing all of these symptoms, then it's probably a nice idea to take massive amounts of medication," representatives say.

A cool man said, "he's not so great. I bet I've got a lot more bananas than he does."

A spokesman for the family called a press conference, but was late. One reporter stayed behind to berate the spokesman.

One observer spotted, "I told them. Being here is totally different from being over there."

Gambler Recruited by Ichiko Kohl

In an attempt to outsmart the competition, the Llamas manager, Francis Davis, finagled a bright deal. "With this gambler, we will make soccer history, thrashing whoever is in our way." Frank Scirica, the gambler on the road to riches, has always felt a particular harmony with left field and expects to live up to the team's expectations.

The deal includes a 6 million dollar salary, a electronic ant, a accidentally-trained pony, and of course weeks on end of a sprained pancreas.

Free Clinics Program Passes by Guy Gruhler

The council took action yesterday morning to make the population of Jasonia feel nice. The county will offer free clinics to its citizens so that everyone can get a clean bill of health regardless of financial vitality. Mayor Jason is not yet certain how much of a workout the program will give the town treasury, but thinks that "you can't have a healthy town unless you have healthy inhabitants."

Citizens unhappy with the development took turns at Carter's Clambake Shop to catch busy denizens, hoping they might sign a petition.

When asked, a writer sighed "Yeah sure, but do they REALLY know what they're doing?"

A poll taken among schools indicated that children are aware of the ramifications of such a program.

Bands played and inhabitants cheered to celebrate and memorialize the heroic municipality founders. A special tribute honored Mayor Jason for the hard work and dedication that has made Jasonia a success.

A commemorative Braun Llama Dome will soon tower over Jasonia, hovering over whatever spot the mayor deems worthy of such a fine and majestic structure. "Let this Llama Dome serve to remind all citizens that grand aspirations are the easiest to see," beamed the mayor.

"I can't believe this is happening," blurted police chief Horace Adams, "they were burning 'Tom Sawyer,' 'Macbeth,' 'Moby Dick' and 'The Scarlet Letter.' Do you know why? These idiots stated, and I quote, 'Cause they gots bad words.'"

Negotiators Against Trash spokesmodel Sarah Stevens replied "we don't desire no filthy trash cluttering our children's minds."

Concerned parents were mad that things hadn't been handled momentarily and started a neighborhood botch program to head for future problems.
