GOOD GRIEF, WE’RE GOING WEEKLY
R
emember four months ago when we debuted The Blatant County News as a monthly humor publication for the Wood River Valley and the headline was “What Were We Thinking?” Remember that? Well, starting October 1st we will be going weekly in The Weekly Sun. This decision poses the same question, “What Were We Thinking?”
Well, we’ll tell you. The B.C. News has been received with resounding success and has developed a loyal fan base amongst those who have been able to find it each month. Now, we believe that many who have missed it will begin to follow us in a timely, weekly fashion within the pages of The Weekly Sun every Wednesday. It will be a shorter version but will still maintain the basic
segments, plus include everything we think is funny during the week. Advertisers will benefit because they will be able to schedule their messages with a comedic twist on the particular week they think will be the most beneficial for their business. These faithful businesses that have supported us during the onset of the monthly mode will be able to have more flexibility and at a lower per issue price as we embark on our weekly mission to make your week a little more fun. We want to be the bright spot in the week for everybody in Blatant County. So, please wish us good fortune and we promise we’ll “keep the funny” going on a more frequent basis.

ROBIN WILLIAMS & JOAN RIVERS We were sitting around the other day talking comedy and were batting about the names of our favorite performers. We reviewed are all-time favs from Laurel and Hardy, WC Fields and Buster Keaton to later greats such as Lenny Bruce, Sid Caesar and Redd Foxx to modern day geniuses such as Richard Pryor, George Carlin and Rodney Dangerfield. Included in the latter era were Robin Williams and Joan Rivers. This month, we are proud to feature these two who have passed on in the past few weeks by presenting some of their (our) favorite small doses of comedy. RIP Joan and Robin and thanks for all the “funny” you left behind to all of us.

SPA Dear Dr. Spa, At the Wagon Days Parade, I believe I was a bit tipsy and lost my balance and crashed into the Hailey Hellers Stage Coach and broke the entire right side. What’s the matter with me? Signed, Hugh Jass Dear HUGE ASS, Don’t worry, it’s just a stage you’re going through. Love, Dr. Spa Dear Dr. Spa, I put on 20 pounds over the Labor Day Weekend. I feel so embarrassed I don’t want to go out in public. Signed, O. Beese Dear OBESE, You’re not overweight, you’re just easier to see. Love, Dr. Spa
