HAPPY NEW YEAR FELLOW TRAVELERS!

 

Captain Hank Quinlan, Owner and Publisher, Chief Curmudgeon Captain Hank Quinlan, Owner, and Publisher, Chief Curmudgeon with Sam Borsalino, Assistant Publisher

Admiratio obrepserit (Surprise of surprises), we are into the eleventh edition of “The Fat   Bastard Gazette!” As you can see from the photograph above, our Good Captain is seen waxing effusively over the prospect of more issues to come in the weeks ahead.

 

Edgar Small, Editor-in-Chief Edgar Small,
Editor-in-Chief

 

We at “The Fat Bastard Gazette” would like to congratulate the staff members who helped make this possible. First up is Edgar Small, a man with a mission to put our best articles forward and put the rest on the back page. This is a no-nonsense kind of guy: his favorite dinner, Maalox®, his favorite snack, Tums®, favorite drink Glenlivet.

Flatfoot Willie, Corespondent at Large Flatfoot Willie, Correspondent at Large

 

Flatfoot Willie is no slouch when it comes to running down a story. He turns over every bushel basket in town to find the burning candle of truth hidden from sight. Flatfoot is nobody’s fool: his favorite dinner, Beef Tartar, his favorite snack, Chooz®, favorite drink, Jack Daniels® with a Maalox® back.

 

Mona La Rue, Fact Checker and Head Proof reader Mona La Rue, Chief Copy Editor

Bubbly, vivacious Mona La Rue keeps all the staff members straight, nothing slips her purview. Not only is she chief copy editor but she is also an excellent fact-checker. Mona will pin your ears back if you try to slip one past her!  The ever-vigilant Mona likes Caesar salads for dinner, Pepcid® for a snack, and drinks Rusty Nails. Mona doesn’t get headaches she gives them.

 

Staff Writer Clarence, Staff Writer

Clarence has been with us for one month, but he is already a rising star in our bullpen of writers. It is too early to hang a moniker on Clarence. We are working on it.  No monkeyshines when Clarence is at the keyboard: his favorite dinner, steak rare, his favorite snack Pepto-Bismol®, favorite drink, Boiler Makers made with Jack Daniels® of course.

 

As for the Captain’s health, he is doing quite well after gastric sleeve surgery. All minor pain is gone and the small laparoscopic incisions are all but healed. However, Captain is experiencing some gastric reflux at times due to eating too quickly. Q. must eat very, very slowly compared to the way he used to eat. Q. has lost the feeling of fullness until it is too late at times. These are minor irritations and they will be overcome with time, Nexium®, and plenty of negative reinforcement. Regurgitation is quite unpleasant unless you are a bird.

 

Cordially Yours,

Captain Hank and Staff
