Meeting the New Boy IX, Part 1

 

Dan Ryan: >Ahem< Thank you for being so prompt, gentlemen.

Now, we all know why we are here...

Pete Dakota: Er...

Dan Ryan: Yes, Pete?

Pete Dakota: I don't know why I'm here.

Diego Luis: Nor do I, amigo.

Dan Ryan: >Sigh<

Dan Ryan: You're here on a matter of vital importance to Gregoropolis.

Pete Dakota: Yikes!

Diego Luis: ¡Ay caramba!

Dan Ryan: Daddy Steve is adopting a new boy from a foreign power.  

As you two will be our representatives at the Manchester Festival, 

it falls on your shoulders to assist with the transfer, ensure the exchange goes smoothly, 

and escort him home without incident.  

Diego Luis: ¿Qué? 'Foreign power'?  You mean, Inglaterra?

And I thought we were just meeting our new hermano?

Pete Dakota: You make it sound so...'frightfully perilous', as Nicholas would say.

Dan Ryan: I'm trying to make it sound more exciting

than it really is.  Work with me here!

Dan Ryan: Here's a copy of his passport photo so you recognize him.

Pete Dakota: Well, he looks like a nice boy.

Diego Luis: Sí, he has a kind face.

Dan Ryan: Look, just bring him back in one piece, okay?!

Pete Dakota: Can do, boss!

Diego Luis: ¡You can count on us, capitán!

TO BE CONTINUED!

Feeling The Heat

 Daddy Steve: Here in Gregoropolis, we were having a cool (almost chilly) summer until suddenly we were not...

Luke: Gosh, it's hotter than blazes!

Oliver: Hey, it's my turn now!

Uli: Shut ice box door at vonce, bitte!

Serena: I guess we know why the ice cream has been so soft lately.

Dan Ryan: Annabelle doesn't like this heat either.

Annabelle: >pant, pant, pant<

Harriet: With all that fur, I can't blame her.  Here, girl, have some cool water.

Meghan: Good grief, it's hot!

Holly Belle: How can we live in a place that's so cold in the winter,

and yet so hot in the summer?!  It's ridiculous!

Patrick: Actually, the answer is simple.  It's because we are landlocked in the geographic center

of the continent.  Without any large bodies of water to act as a buffer, the region becomes 

a funnel for extreme hot air masses from the south, and frigid arctic air from Canada.

Holly Belle: Hmmpf, typical man.  You ask a question and they come right back with an answer.

Meghan: Don 't they realize we just need to be heard?

Patrick: Hmmm, apparently not.

Ravi: Well, I loved your explanation.

Patrick: Thank you!

Luke: Bwah-ha-ha-ha!

I'm going to be rich!  Faaaaabulously wealthy!

Nicholas Sahara: I say, Lukas old chap, whatever are you up to?

Luke: I overheard Daddy John talk about 'pennies from heaven.'

The weather guy on Channel 11 said it's supposed to rain tonight, so I thought I'd 

just get out the buckets and watch them overflow with money-money-money!

Nicholas: Oh, dear...

Scot-Michael: Don't look at me.  You asked.

While Luke awaits untold riches, the rest of Gregoropolis is taking

a brief summer holiday.  We'll be back in July as we prepare for the

Manchester (NH) Sasha Festival!  See you soon!

By Any Other Name...

 

Natalie: Ooooh, so pretty!

Paul: You know, lots of girls' names are inspired by flowers.

Natalie: You don't say.

Paul: Well, there's Iris, obviously, but also Lily, Rose, Violet, Daisy, Hyacinth...

Natalie: And Cupcake.  Don't forget that one.

Paul: "Cupcake"?!?  I've never heard of a girl with that name!

Natalie: Perhaps you just lead a very sheltered life.

Paul: Besides, cupcakes don't grow like flowers.

Natalie: >Sigh< No, no they don't.

Natalie: But in a perfect world, they would!
