Family asks for cards to make WWII veteran’s birthday special 9:30 PM, Feb 01, 2019
MARLOW, Ok. (WIBW) — A World War II veteran from Marlow, Oklahoma is turning 93 on April 17th and his family is trying to get cards sent to him for his birthday as a surprise.Daughter Liz Anderson tells CBS affiliate WIBW her dad Recil Troxel loves getting any kind of mail, and is obsessed with checking the mailbox.“He sits here in his chair looking out the window every day,” Anderson said. “When the mail is here, he’s like the mail is here, we better go get the mail.”But, it’s not very often Troxel finds something in there for him.While Troxel’s birthday is in April, his family wanted to start his celebration early so he can get enjoyment from one of his favorite things.The WWII veteran is currently undergoing cancer treatment, and his family just wants to make him happy.If you’d like to send him a card, you can mail it to:
Winter is also a time when the arts flourish in Froglandia. Nearly everybody has some ability that they have acquired and polished to an acceptable glow. Art and craft are an essential part of school life in Froglandia, where children learn everything from their three Aaarrrghhs in Space Cowboy Piracy to Metallurgy and Particle Physics. One in three is capable of playing an instrument well enough not to be told to knock it off and go away! February, the most dread and drear month there is, is filled with the arts in Fronglandia. There are gallery shows with the collected works of Froglandians, which generally end with a bonfire of their collected works, after being photoed, of course! This coincides with what is celebrated as Fat Tuesday elsewhere by less capable celebrations where self destruction seems to be the only goal. Before that, there is the Tadpole Tournament of champions, on Grounghog Day Eve, followed by the Froglandial Festival of Fecal Plumage on Groundhog Day, and the Froglandia Symphonic Blowout on the day after Groundhog Day. This last is an indoor event and begins the Season of Introspection, which ends with the Great Gallery Celebration and Dance Around the General Conflagration, a three hour tour of gallery contributions, ending in bonfires, which highlights the beginning of Lent.
And here straight from a sold-out engagement on Etna, is Vlad’s cousin Polyphemus, to perform his many hits on the tuba. One especially avid fan has found her way into the horn’s bell. This doesn’t usually happen until the second set.
PS to Ms. T: I have extra in the outgoing mail tomorrow.
I guess the one-eyed tubist is making One Someone happy, though I doubt she’s as happy as 3X Happy (as I call him; sorry, I have no bunnies to offer: they are over on C’est la Vie, where Jennifer Babcock has had to resort to real-life sketches due to an Overlords glitch. Q.V.). She may be related to Olive Oyl, or may be in need of olive oil to grease her tuba-exit; I forget which. Froglandia is not noted for its olive oil production, however. It tends to focus more more on fecal plumage, though the annual General Conflagration severely reduces potential exports. Indeed, exports have never put Froglandia on the map—which is, let’s face it, a navigation problem….

They may have been made happy, but they definitely were made strangely.

Even though she’s fallen heels over head for this guy, notice how demurely her skirt still covers her legs.
