Odd Prowler Sighting




On a quiet summer day in the municipality of Mulch Park, Nebraska, a stout Canadian taxi stopped to ask directions. The person giving the directions recognized the passenger as the Odd Prowler and reported it to the FBI missing persons desk helpline.

"Do I get a reward?"

"You don't get any compensation until the individual in the memo is in custody."

"I got a confession to make."

"What is it." Officer Barnett was getting impatient with the caller.

The caller fumbled vocally, "I think I gave him bad directions. I couldn't understand that taxi driver. Sorry."

"We are on the case."

"But it's gonna be all right?"

A dial tone.

GPS Breaks in Odd Prowler's Taxi


The taxi driver who has been hired by readers of The Blue Green Power Plant to safely drive the Odd Prowler from his successful speaking engagement in New York City to his safehouse, the home of Bill Duckton in Miami Florida, has Twittered that his Global Positioning Device device has floundered due to an ice-cream spill.

"The whole irony of the situation is that we all chipped in so that he would feel safe, after his plane crashed into a luggage cart in La Guardia after taxiing into the tarmac," said Pleasant Sanchez, a reader of The Blue Green Power Plant who donated fifty dollars to help the Odd Prowler get home. "I just wanted him to feel secure and now I can't imagine the terror and anxiety he must feel of being lost on the surface of the Earth."

Bill Duckton made allusions to ET, the Extra Terrestial. "No. He hasn't phoned home," he reported.

Odd Prowler Recieves Huge Check


A consortium of readers of interesting internet news sources has collected sufficient funds to send the Odd Prowler a check so that he can return to his home in Miami, Florida in a taxi instead of an airplane.

When asked to comment, the Odd Prowler replied in flawless English, "My home is not in Miami. That is Bill Duckton's home. I am from the Center of the Earth."

In spite of his failure to express gratitude, the press is sure that he is grateful.

He will begin his trip on Monday, in Burt's Taxi.

Investigative journalism has uncovered that the check was signed by millionaire, William Towelamp. When contacted for comment, Towelamp responded with gravity, "Air travel just is not safe. What if the plane hit a satellite or something? How did you get my number!?"

Odd Prowler's Plane Crashes!

Metropolitan Airlines flight 298 from Fort Lauderdale to New York City crashed. This is the same flight that the much loved Odd Prowler bought a ticket on so he could travel to read from his children's book to schoolchildren in an impoverished neighborhood like Queens or Harlem. The most tragic thing is that they saw this coming. A psychic had broken her silence during one of her autoharp concerts to inform the world about her affinity with the Odd Prowler, and a few weeks later she warned him of the plane crash via the Internet.

"This so could have been avoided," Said Eddie Busrekz, an internet junkie who works at New York's La Guardia Airport.

The details are sketchy, but it appears that after a textbook landing on runway sixteen at La Guardia, the plane taxied into the tarmac and smashed into a luggage cart, destroying all kinds of luggage, including a fancy banjo for which the owner had not purchased additional insurance.
Later that day, the Odd Prowler's English was flawless as he presented an awestruck group of kids with an awesome presentation, which those little ones will remember for a lifetime.

Psychic Autoharpist Arrested For Trespassing


Psychic autoharpist, Mally Branagain, has been arrested for entering a community television station and commandeering broadcasting equipment. Mally Branagain appeared on countless television screens in La Mirada, California and Needles, California pleading for the airlines to ground Metropolitan Flight 298 from Fort Lauderdale to New York.

"It is going to crash. It is going to crash. Do not go on that plane!" she hollered.

This is the same plane that the Odd Prowler is scheduled to take to New York for his presentation to school children. She sounded serious. Very serious.

Major Newspaper Endorses Odd Prowler's Advancement in English Level

An editorial in the on-line version of the New York Times has thrown the paper's considerable virtual weight behind the movement to promote the Odd Prowler to an intermediate or advanced English as a Second Language class at his school. He was placed for a second time in the beginning level after he refused to answer a nosy question in the placement interview.

As a show of gratitude, the Odd Prowler has given the paper permission to fly him up to New York City, where he will read to school children from his new children's book: Rescue in the Center of the Earth!" In the book, the Odd Prowler relates how he saved Bill Duckton's life in the Center of the Earth. The book was financed by Duckton with his considerable Pluitzer Prize check.

Arnie Notoro, the principal of The Institute for Studies of English, which is where the Odd Prowler is registered, refused to comment after being ridiculed by a Bluegreenplant reporter who called him unfair. "Hey, he flunked. End of story," he said, and then walked out of his office to his Mazda.

Duckton-Dafferty Conflict Washed Away

It looks like the cleanliness of the Odd Prowler has washed away a simmering feud between Blue Green Power Plant colleagues, Bill Dafferty and Bill Duckton. The two excellent journalists were at odds over a scratch in Duckton's blue car which turned out to be grime.

The two were seen eating ice cream, chuckling, and drinking Old Milwaukee Beer in Duckton's corner office. The Florida Marlins were on the flat screen TV, losing three to seven.

It seems as if everything is "chillin" at the Blue Green Power Plant.

Happy days are here again.
