Beam me up, Scotty!

Fargo, ND – Whether you’re a faithful fan of Star Trek or not, everyone can get excited about an upcoming visit to Fargo by a famous legendary icon.

The starship USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) is scheduled to come to Fargo for the next AirShow. Captain Kirk’s famous space cruiser will be landing at the Fargo Airport.

You and your whole family will be able to come aboard the actual USS Enterprise and explore it from the inside. Go up to the bridge to sit in the captain’s chair and maybe even honk the horn.

Some of the original crew members will be coming along to answer any questions that you might have. Star Trekers Spock, Sulu, Uhura, and Chekov are all planning on making the trip to Fargo to explore strange new worlds and to seek out new life and civilizations.

Lt. Ross Cooper is the official event scheduler for the USS Enterprise. “After travelling to all parts of the universe, we realized that our beloved starship has never been to Fargo, North Dakota”, he says.

“Hopefully folks in Fargo will be as excited about our visit as we all are. Please stop by to see this amazing starship out at the Fargo Airport. We can even beam you aboard so you don’t have to walk up all the stairs.”

Neighbor Refuses To Mow

ask-julie-what-proper-mowing-height-grass-1Fargo, ND – A local man has been fined for not caring Thursday.

Jim got the cops called on him Thursday afternoon after his neighbor reported him to the authorities for not ‘murdering the grass.”

“I don’t want to do it.  I simply refuse to mow my grass.  Its going to be winter in about a month anyways.  What’s the point. Apparently my neighbor has a problem with naturally grown grass.  I cut it and it comes back within days.  I hate it.”

Jim will be fined again and again if he doesn’t mow that grass.  However, it doesn’t look like it will stop Jim from not mowing his lawn.  He said he will continue to obtain fines and will not pay them.

homemade-stress-ballsFargo, ND – Local store patrons got a good laugh Wednesday night.

Josh, an 86 year-old man got quite the looks Wednesday when he seemed to have mistaken a dildo for a stress reliever.

Josh thought that a 7ft bouncy and thick dildo was a stress reliever.  You know, the kind you squish with your hand.

“All I saw was a man holding a dildo that was swaying back and forth.  He was squishing the shaft over and over again.  I was like, what is this man doing.”

We spoke with Josh’s son who said his old man just has a hard time seeing is all.

“I gave him an actual stress reliever ball that he can carry wherever he goes.  No more dildos.” Josh’s son stated.

If you ever see an old man waving a dildo around, please call Josh’s son at 555-8987.

Jampy Borktartle

Fargo, ND—A guy who plays by his own rules has been 86’d from a local used car dealership, the Observer has learned. Gacky Rearwater, formerly a used car & junk salesman for Uncle Jampy’s Metal & Wheels Emporium on south 18th street, was let go by the company for refusing to tell outright lies to his customers.

Gacky feels he was misled in regards to sales tactics. “My boss Jampy Borktartle used to always tell me ‘Hey Gacky, hneyh hyneh! You gotta tell them bozos whatever they wanna hear, hnyeh hyenh!’ but that’s not how I was taught to do business,” Gacky explained. “You give ’em truth and honesty and that’s what you get back, jack.”

Jampy fired Gacky after too many customers left the Metal & Wheels Emporium without a purchase. Gacky just couldn’t bear the burden of lies. He couldn’t use honesty to sell Jampy’s dysfunctional collection of rust-buckets, tark-wheels and glomper-rods.

Bean Bag Toss Game Goes Back To Caveman Days

Early cornholers practicing their craft.

Moorhead, MN – A new recent archaeological finding shows that cavemen played the Bean Bag Toss game.

This ever-popular game is also called CornHole since bags of corn were used by cavemen during times of abundant harvest to glorify their gods.

Early Game expert Minga Tortendorf says this latest discovery just outside of Moorhead, Minnesota is very important.

“It shows that early cavemen and cavewomen played the Bean Bag Toss game just as we do today” she explains.

“This is the first real evidence that we have of early humans actually playing any type of games.”

The next time you and your family, friends, or co-workers are playing CornHole (or as some simply call it: CornHolio), just imagine the earliest settlers played the exact same game way back around 42,000 B.C.

Minga’s closing thoughts: “By playing CornHolio, it sadly shows that in some ways we have not progressed much at all from Cro-Magnon days. If you really want to show how much we’ve advanced since the dawn of life, perhaps consider having a Bocce Ball tournament, or at least go fly a kite like Thomas Edison for heaven’s sake!”

Fargo Canoer Mistakes Ditch Water For Sheyenne River

Leave a reply

canoe fargoFargo, ND – A Fargo man mistakes ditch water for the sheyenne river yesterday afternoon.

Due to the beautiful weather yesterday afternoon, John decided it was perfect to go canoeing. Just not in the right place.

John was arrested for trespassing and resisting arrest. Police say John might not be aging so well and due to very old age, he simply mistook the ditch with water in it as the sheyenne river.  Simple mistake.

John did put up a fight though.  He refused to get out of the canoe.  Police had no choice but to taze him 3 times and break both legs just to subdue him.  It then took ten punches to the face and a visit to his house to shoot his dog. The police did say they felt all was finally safe and to proceed to bring him to jail for prosecution.

Police would like to remind the public that it is illegal to canoe in public ditches and law enforcement will keep an extra eye out there for potential offenders.

Family Held Hostage By Pet Leopard Gecko

1 Reply

leopard gecko petWest Fargo, ND – The Taylors just wanted to get to a movie Saturday evening but ended up getting held hostage by their pet leopard gecko instead.

Friday night, the family leopard gecko got out of its cage somehow and had been lost in the house ever since.

The Taylors decided to have a family movie night and were all about to head out the door when there he suddenly was.  Bubbles, the families pet leopard gecko, was in the entryway.  He was motionless and staring at the entire family with an evil, blank stare.

Any effort a family member would make towards the door, the lizard would swiftly move and block their path thus trapping the family in the house.

The Taylors spent four entire days trapped inside their house as their pet lizard would not let them pass.

I asked why they didn’t just pick him up.

“Well, he tends to nip at your hands when you try and pick him up because he thinks your hand is food so that wasn’t an option.  He just sat there looking at us like he was going to hurt us.  We were frightened beyond belief.”

On day 4, the Taylors daughter remembered that she had a cellphone and called police.  West Fargo police sent out the SWAT team to the Taylors residence and were able to catch the lizard after a 10-hour standoff.

Nobody was injured.

Funny Looking Man Finds Bar Of Gold In Red River

Discovery could lead to Gold Frenzy.

Discovery could lead to Gold Frenzy.

Fargo, ND – A funny looking man named Sid Bingsted found a large bar of gold on the banks of the Red River near Fargo, ND.

Mister Bingsted believes that it could be worth a lot of money based upon its girth-size.

He reflected, “Yah, I tell ya what, I found it just sittin’ down there by the river, don’t-cha-know? We was both sittin’ down there half-covered in mud!”

Buzz Redling has been investigating this golden story. Buzz says authorities secretly fear a mass influx of people from Williston coming down to the Fargo-Moorhead area if this story ever gets out.

Buzz confides: “My wife thinks this bar of gold deal could really cause a serious Gold Frenzy, not unlike the one back in ’88. And I tend to agree with my wife on this one.”

Police don’t know what to think of it. Where did the gold bar come from? How could they ever figure out who it belonged to? What to do next?

In the meantime, lucky Mister Bingsted is trying to decide what to do with his solid gold bar.

Friends are telling him to cash it in and buy a nice new bike.

But Sid has other ideas: “Yah, I might just go and hide it in the mud down by the river like I did last time, while I maybe go and look for another one!”

Area Dog Launches Search Party For Own Tail

Leave a reply

tailFargo, ND—An area dog, name of Chip, has exhausted all independent efforts to obtain a long, thin appendage that was thought to have been located somewhere near the back side of his body.

Collective efforts are being made to help Chip locate this estranged body part believed to be his tail. Local police have put out an APB on Chip’s tail while he and his owner are conducting an independent search party comprised of some of Chip’s favorite stuffed animals. “He’s never been able to catch it. Now, i’m afraid he’s lost it completely,” said Chip’s owner, Greg.

Neighborhood dogs can be heard voicing their concerns over the disappearance of Chip’s tail during obnoxious late-night barking marathons.

We will continue to update this article as developments in the case are made but for now, let’s sit back & watch Chip chase his tail.
