R.I.P. Dear Foggy.
From our Reuters correspondent London.

The tragic news released today.
That dear old Foggy passed away.
The pope has called a day of morning.
Obama closes senate, without warning.

The Queen appeared on television.
Praised the poems he has given.
She said “We knew that he was poorly,
now he’s gawn we’ll miss him sorely”.

Sir Daniel, from the poetic society.
cried “ OH NO Lord, please take me”.
Fogg lay peaceful, quiet, demure.
A tag on his toe said “Language, Mature”

Seventy million lined the street.
Threw tons of flowers at pallbearer’s feet.
The red Arrows did spectacular fly past.
United Nations flags at half mast.

Danny his Jack Russell doggy.
Lay by the coffin of dear old Foggy.
On his headstone were these words.
I TOLD YOU I WAS ILL, YOU BLOODY TURDS.
~

DR Fogg.

I'm still in mourning over this tragic loss.. I just don't have any clue how I'm going to break the news too all his creditors who had planned on Foggy making payments for another 20 years... I wonder who he left the blow-up Margaret Thatcher doll too in his will?

sad day in Slug'ville too, ole Foggy was their greatest supporter..

I never wanted to write this post. Life, however, brings to us changes of necessity, not changes we want.

Unfortunately, and as evidenced by the past few months' activities, I do not have the time to properly govern the use of this site anymore. While there are visitors every day, the posts by members are becoming fewer and farther between, and the staff participation is just as sparse.
