Brewster Rockit by Tim Rickard for August 06, 2013

Oy…

His shirt is not red.

For once Ensign Kenny lucked out.

I’m going to start using the word chum more…I read the first 44 Hardy Boys books!……People used to complain about simple series books like that ….But they made me a reader….And I can’t imagine a world without the 87th Precinct series by Ed McBain….

The Washington Post Style Invitational received this entry … “in which we asked you to write a bad elegy to someone who died in 1997”

Jacques Cousteau:The knit cap lies empty on the deck,The once-proud ship feels like a wreck.At his request, his last remainsWill now become the ocean’s gains.With tear of eye and roll of drum,We feed the sharks. Farewell, old chum.

DepthCharge, yeah, even Elmore Leonard has done sequels….They’re fun…

Chum? wonder what the origin of that word is. Did someone feed his friend to a shark? Must stop watching Sponge Bob.

Maybe you can catch them with a skyhook.

Just contact the Chinese Space Fishing Collective. They’ll soon be making space shark’s fin soup.

Chumley from Pawn Stars? He’ll make a great meal for the shark!

Does it pay to be Brewster’s chum?!?♫♪ Oh the shark has . pretty teeth, dear . . ♪♪ . . ☻

I do. I also remember the Bobbsey Twins and The Boxcar Children. Read them all along with Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys. At one point, I also read every Perry Mason mystery that was published. That kept the library busy in the stacks for a summer.

BA-BOOM…ching

My favorite series were Tom Swifts (father and son) and Rick Brant. Best Harry Harrisons were the Stainless Steel Rat.
