Jailbreak!

West Virginia, the thief that broke loose

Last year, on the charges of robbery and burglary, West Virginia was sentenced to 50 years of jail. Now, he has escaped with 49 years still on his sentence. At 3:00 a.m., while the guard was asleep, he squeezed through the bars and ran off into the night.

Notice the guard asleep.

As the alarm sounded, the guard immediately awoke to find an empty jail cell. He rubbed his eyes, telling himself that it was a dream. It wasn't. Policemen were soon jumping, sprinting, and nearly knocking others over to get to their police vehicles. The guard called detective Invisible Spiderman to investigate the matter. "I'll  be there in fifteen minutes" he said to the guard. 

West Virginia and his buddy get away

Unfortunately, fifteen minutes was too much time. West Virginia got together with his yet unidentified buddy and ran off. Invisible Spiderman caught the unidentified accomplice and gave him 10 years of prison. West Virginia got away. "We have guards all over the basement" said Trigger Zeeb, the police chief. "He's still missing"*

Brazil 3 Argentina 3

 Antlers Smith's first...

 ...second...

...and third goal of the day

Brazil's Antlers Smith scored all three of his team's goals in a tie with Argentina. He got a yellow card early in the game so he had to sit out the rest of the half. After a scoreless half and a pep talk, he went out and accounted for all of his team's points. Tuskies Hotte, Argentina's goalie said, "He's quick, talented, and can put the ball in the net, you cant let him get the ball". Argentina's goal with 0:43 left in the game, shattered all of Brazil's hopes of beating their hated rivals. "Next time", Antlers always says, "Next time we'll beat them.  Brazil is now 18-13-3 and Argentina is 25-2-7. *

Catastrophe!

A boat capsizes, leaving the passengers stranded

Yesterday, in the middle of the Atlantic, a huge tidal wave capsized a boat that was taking three to Africa.
Luckily, no one was drowned, but they were all shaken up. Bananas McQueen (monkey), Thursday Monday (T-Rex), and Gecko Boobeeboo (gecko) were all on board.

As Gecko recalls it;

"It was a cool crisp night...not a star to be seen. The dark blue [ocean] was perfectly still...After a few hours I was feeling drowsy, but [I] still stayed up. The tide had really picked up and [the boat] was rocking madly. I wasn't worried but I was anxious for the waves to stop... then all of a sudden, a huge one [wave] came out of the blue and smashed our poor boat's roof off. [I] was falling so I caught hold of the wall to escape [drowning]...I got to the top of the capsized boat and started waving madly... a 'copter spotted us and took us to safety".

"...and started waving madly..."

Bananas was not so lucky. He was under the water "For umpteen hours, it felt like" he says. Also he says that a pillow, floating past, saved his life. Thursday Monday says that his leg got tangled in a length of rope as he was about to drown. "I really thank that little rope" he says*

Gold!

Buried treasure!

In the Ockaroke Inlet of North Carolina, Fang Brown started digging. "Just for fun" he says "Just to get to China or something" he chuckles. Little did he know that he would find buried treasure. "If I'd have known that I would find treasure, I would abandon the process and let some one else get to it". Yet, after thirteen hours of digging, Fang would find old Blackbeard treasure. Words, written in blood, said "Me olde curse on ye treasure so ye be dead if ye found openin' me gold". Fang completely ignored it and the curse was a dud. The coins had a date on them, MDCLXXX, which proved to be in Blackbeard's later years. 

Fang looks at his booty

Fang sold the coins for $100,000 each, but after not selling any, he kept them. "I did get them the hard way you know" he later said*

An apple 4 feet in diameter!

Freckles with his 4 foot apple.

Today the most unusual thing happened. At 4:30 a.m. Freckles, a fourteen-year-old boy woke up for a trip to the bathroom and looked out the window. On his apple tree there was a 3 5/6 foot apple. At breakfast he told his mom and they looked out the window. It was 4 feet now and they stared at it as if it was an alien. Freckles put a sign in their front yard saying...........

SEE THE 4 FOOT APPLE FOR $0.99

They attracted a crowd. I went there and caught a picture of Freckles by the apple as you see above. I told my friends and showed them the picture. Freckles used the apple as a gun target (too bad) instead of selling it to me for $90. *

Survival!

This picture of Nanook Greene (dog) and Nana McQueen (monkey) is famous all over the toybox.

Nanook Greene and Nana McQueen were at the New York City International Airport waiting for their flight to come at 2:40 a.m. . At 3:01 a.m. they boarded their flight.

Nanook was born in Barrow, Alaska, U.S.A. as Nanook Inuvik Greene on November 22, 1994 and he lived there ever since. Nana was totally opposite. He was born in the Congo jungle as Nana Samuel McQueen on October 18 2001. So why were they friends? They were friends because of their wrestling skill. Nanook started wrestling when he was three and he won every single match. Nana was the same.

So they were on their flight flying to the Congo, to stay at Nana's house. At 5:47 a.m. they noticed something, half of the right wing was off and a minute later they were going in circles out of control. What happened was the wing skimmed across another plane. Up in the cockpit the pilot wrestled the controls so they wouldn't land in the sea. They were 5,000 meters over the sea and losing height fast. Nanook kicked a hole in the window and tried to escape but it was no good. Nana grabbed the cushion for his seat and threw it.

Then Nanook did something really dangerous. He broke the whole plane. Nana hung on to the falling left wing and blew on it. That was'nt enough lift to fly him home. Nanook took out his cellphone and dialed 911 but it was no use. Their trunks fell and they caught them. But their trunks gave them weight and they plunged headfirst in a skydive. A rescue boat came and Nana had hope. But even if they landed in the boat they would die.

They plunged into the sea and sharks were gathering. Nanook kicked one but it bit his leg. Sharks gathered by the 100s to start a feeding frenzy. Nanook and Nana saw a cage so they climbed into it. The cage lifted and they were in the rescue boat. They were saved. *

Full game!

This is Ho Johnson who had a full game last night bowling.

Last night bowling I saw someone get a strike on his first roll. I asked him how he did it and he replied "it's just luck." I felt a bit jealous because I got 1 pin down on my first roll. On his next roll he got a strike compared to my 6 pins.

As he holds his third ball Ho said "I'm not a turkey so I'll get a turkey."

After Ho got a double he said "I'm not a turkey so I'll get a turkey." He sure did get a turkey and I said "Gobble gobble" when his screen showed a turkey. After he got a ninth I told him "You're not going to get a full game" but he did.

I only got 121 points and Ho got 300. I said "I stunk" to myself as I went home but I knew I didn't. My opponent who wasn't Ho said "Every body's good at something and I am good at Spanish." *

3 days of gloom are over now

In India after a three-day monsoon the animals get out of their broken houses.

In India there had been a three-day monsoon which had killed 12,000 people and now it is over. Someone named Shiu Dhai recalled "हिदिंग इन ओउर हौसेस ठाट वेरे हलफ-स्तान्डिंग वास देवास्तातिंग बेकाउसे विंड्स वेरे गोइंग १२० किलोमेतेर्स पैर अन हौर ।" which meant "Hiding in our half-standing houses was devastating because winds were going at 120 kilometers per an hour."

The most uncomfortable part was when an elephant escaped from the zoo, hid in Shiu Dhai's 'house' and tore it apart. I felt sorry for the people in India and donated $5,000 to them. President Barack Obama declared the government to donate $90,000 to them. *

Car crash on highway 4500 south.

This is Antlers Smith who was the man (or moose) who made the car crash.

It was a busy day in and out of the toy box today. A soccer player named Antlers Smith was driving west on 4500 south in Brazil when he crashed into a sign that said "Exit 350". Somebody quickly dialed 911 on his cellphone who was 5 yards away from the crash. During the 5 minutes while the ambulance was coming people were kind to Antlers and one person gave him a gauze pad for his cut leg.Luckily no one else was injured but Antlers was carried to the hospital with a broken leg. As Antlers was lifted into an ambulance somebody pointed out the sign exploded and confused people going to exit 350 waited for 20 minutes until the doctor said "Go ahead because that way is exit 350. "

In this picture the doctor lifts Antlers into an ambulance, after Antlers broke a leg.

In the Hospital Antlers said "I took my eyes off the road for too long to find my ringing cellphone, then twiddled the steering wheel too late." The Doctor who everybody called "Doc" said "He'll be there for 50+ more hours if I know what I'm doing."

The Brazil Soccer team suffered a great loss without Antlers, 13-1. The coach who was named Samaria West commented "Winning that game was finding a needle in a haystack. Our talented Goalie will miss the next match against China." *

The bank was robbed for a loss of $1,000,000

The Police (dog) and banker (panda) chase the thief.

Today after the banker woke up he went to the bank as usual but when he went there $1,000,000 was gone. He rubbed his eyes in case it was a dream but it was real. He ran and dialed 911 "nine-one-one nine one-one" he repeated into the speaker. "911 what is the emergency?" the police said. "I'm at the ABC & XYZ bank and we're missing a million bucks." the police replied "the bank does'nt raise deer." "No we're missing $1,000,000" the banker answered looking out the window. 15 minutes later the police stood at the door and they set off.

This is the dog they found on the street

they saw a dog (an alive one silly!) telling some people he was a millionaire and the police questioned him. He was the theif and a chase begun. An hour later they caught him in cuffs and while the police asked the criminal how he robbed the bank the banker pointed a pistol at the theif.

"I went to the bank, examined it and went away. I planned to go at 2:15 a.m. and break in through the window. once I did I broke into the vaults and took $1,000,034.76 because that was all I could find but the coins dropped laeving me with $1,000,006" the theif said.

After they arrested the crook the police recalled "The chase went on for what felt like a million years until I caught the crook." *

This is Me

I'm just a colorful stuffed little worm. You may not believe it but I have had experience with lots of other animals such as from Australia, the Indian Ocean, Siberia, and lots more. I think big things and have a talent to write. I type with my tail and crawl into my food to eat it. I'm small enough to fit in a human's pocket (at a squeeze) and come alive when they don't see me (let's hope they don't find out about this blog). I have several stories and news to share about my world as a stuffed animal living in a wooden toy box. I hope you come back for more.
