Friend of the Month Reminder
October 31st, 2013 Posted 7:48 am
“Last day of the month,” says Spence.
“And Halloween, and the Red Sox won,” says Admin.
“So therefore – time for the Friend of the Month reminder.”
“Check the right of the screen. See Cruizer? He’s Chet’s October Friend of the Month. His human companion sent in a photo to the Friends of Chet gallery, just as Chabui did today. Great pic, by the way. The random number generator – “
“East German Army surplus, circa 1956 – “
” – did the rest. Winner stays over there for the month and the winner’s human companion gets a signed and paw-printed – “
“And illustrated by medieval monks in a scriptorium– “
” – copy of the latest Chet and Bernie novel, in this case The Sound and the Furry.”
“This could be you! Just send in a photo!”
*All 100% true, except for the medieval part.
