Advent Calendar Day 14 – Hey, how did you get there?

December 14, 2009

Guess who was in the little box marked #14 this morning? Oscar. This is not a surprise at all. Oscar is definitely all recovered now since his incident with the yarn. He’s actually even a bigger hooligan now than before he wore the cone. He has been getting into everything and is stealthier than ever. [...]

Advent Calendar Day 12 – Wreaking havoc

December 12, 2009

Over at #27 Maple Lane is where the local Barbecue Chef lives. He is also an avid bike rider. In order to keep his girlish figure, he rides his bike to all his big BBQ cook-offs and then promptly puts some ribs on the big smoker, or cooks up a giant pot of chili. He’s known [...]

Advent Calendar Day 10 – I love lamp?

December 10, 2009

I think I actually said, “Oh good!” out loud in the darkness of the morning. Today’s box was a big one. That usually means there’s a very important piece to the calendar – usually a new character of some sort. It was a Zuzu-sized-box, so I assumed it would be another officer or maybe another [...]

Advent Calendar Day 9 – Who are the people in your neighbourhood?

December 9, 2009

Rocky and Zuzu took a walk through town and ran into some of the locals: Sister Holly Berry (Heh.) was strolling through town and stopped to see the new K9 in town. Zuzu loves to call the nun “Sistah” because she secretly watches a lot of Dog the Bounty Hunter, and wishes she could wear [...]

Advent Calendar Day 7 – The “They can’t all be winners.” Edition

December 7, 2009

Editor’s note: Oof. This was a tough one today. Just bear with me on this, okay? Okay! Thanks in advance. Remember in the movie, Bad Santa, where he patches up the kid’s Advent Calendar he wrecked while super drunk and then replaces the chocolates with anything he can find – like candy corn and aspirins? [...]

Advent Calendar Day 6 – Meet the Constable

December 6, 2009

Meanwhile, over at the local P0lice Station, Constable Bailey had just ended her shift. Zuzu (but her friends call her Zuze for short) had a tough day of traffic tickets to dole out – mainly speeding tickets. She spent the day hiding out behind trees, preferably on the other side of a curve in the [...]

Advent Calendar Day 4 – Busted.

December 4, 2009

After nice night on the town – dinner, some dancing, and enjoying the stand up comedy of Don Rickles, King of the Insult, Joy* and The XMAS Bandit took a leisurely walk through town on their way home. They took in the sights and the sounds of the city – enjoying the Christmas lights that had [...]

Advent Calendar Day 3 – More tools and a girlfriend

December 3, 2009

This morning’s #3 package contained another case – a very big one and a tire iron. What is The XMAS Bandit up to with all these cases and grappling hooks and now a crowbar? And why over the holidays? Is it because he can get away with more when the average law abiding citizen is [...]

Advent Calendar Day 2 – The tools of the trade

December 2, 2009

I’m not sure the Christmas Bandit is the smartest fellow. As pointed out in the previous post by the ever alert Mike Browne, he does have keys. So why bother with a grappling hook? Perhaps he’s just fallen to peer pressure – all the other bandits have one, I should get one, too. Mind you, [...]

Advent Calendar Day 1 – And so it begins…

December 1, 2009

This man must be very, very bad. How do I know this? Just look at him! The 5 o’clock shadow. The Lone Ranger mask – used for evil, to cover his true identity. The Lone Ranger would not approve. Those awful skinny jeans. Blech. I can’t wait for those pants to go out of style. His bandanna [...]
