Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for October 23, 2022

Eromlig, grinning, running, and ducking for cover…

Watching baseball playoffs these last few days reminded me of this allegedly true story:

The visiting pitcher wasn’t having a good outing. The first batter he faced launched a home run over the fence, and the scoreboard exploded, whirled and let out huge plumes of smoke. Grimacing, the pitcher got the sign and delivered to the next batter, who also slugged the ball over the fence. As the scoreboard once again went into paroxysms, and before it had finished, the manager was out to the mound.

“I’m fine, I’m just ****ing fine!” the pitcher told his manager.

“Oh, I know you are,” the skipper replied. “I just came out here to give the scoreboard guy a little time to reload.”

That dinosaur is a real bone head…

Hey, Scrat! Did you finally get ahold of your acorn?

Some people I know have skulls as thick as the pachycephalosaurus. Nothing seems to get through.

I don’t even talk to Pachy anymore. He’s so thick it’s like talking to a brick wall. Well, bricks haven’t been invented yet, but there are walls in the caves and stuff. Oh leave me alone. ~ Tyro Rexarooni, ahead of my time

Take care, may unemployed stenographer Gladys “My Rambler Is My Best Friend Well Except For My Poodle Skirt Oh I Suppose The Blender Is Still Pretty Nice To Me” Bluehairord be with you, and gesundheit.

Never knew that about Tom Hanks. I used to collect typewriters myself. -All of my typewriters predated the electric ones. When I met the woman who was to eventually be my wife, she was a little dismayed at the amount of space they occupied (took up one whole room of my house) “do they all work?” “Yep!” “Do you use them?” “Nope! Can’t hardly get any of ‘em to do spell-check or any form of auto-formatting, and deleting is a non-issue! They’re old typewriters!”. She made a compelling case for getting rid of my collection -I kept the three that meant the most to me -My favorite is an old gold-leaf underwood, the second is a “portable” that my father used when he went to college, and one that was the same model of corona I learned on back in high school. I’ve rebuilt them all, and they work flawlessly (I had to learn how to re-ink ribbons because two of them no longer have ribbons available for purchase).

Whoa! 9 inches thick!?! Now we know what republiQans are descended from.

Howdy all,

Way back in my younger days I was dating a young lady.

We had been dating for awhile when her dog died.

Feeling bad and wanting to help her through her sadness, I took her to the pet store and bought her a puppy. (Things worked out pretty good)

About a year later her dad passed away, So I took her to the old folks home.

Tom ran out of fruit cakes?

ha! my skull is 10 inches thick

Way to go, some squirrel was saving those seeds for a winter treat. Well, what can you expect from a Russian.

The RBION artist is a good, imaginative cartoonist but he has no gift for celebrity faces.

I’ve seen lots of Tom Hanks movies, but I can’t think of any offhand in which he uses a typewriter.

Taking that poor squirrel’s winter seeds …. of course it probably won’t mind now …. :)

Cousin Tom also repairs them. We are related through Abe Lincoln’s mother’s grandfather.

I’ve like RBION eversince when I was younger and I visited again when I’m now older and I liked it better upon reading jokes from and in not order: Chihal, Charlie Fogwhistle, Steve Silver, and Eromlig. Thank you all.

Scrat’s stash?

The skull of the Trumplicasaurus is feet think because they had a pea sized brain.

hmmm…a nine inch thick skull…no wonder they died in the flood…they sunk like a rock…
