We’re so proud of Owl Chatter’s newest staff member, our wonderful Georgie Santos, the former Congressman. He’s become a “standard” — you know, like “to be measured against.” Ken Buck is the GOP Rep who recently announced he’s bolting from Congress. So Lorena Bobbitt — hold on a minute — no, not her — Lauren Boebert decided to shift out of her district and run for Buck’s. Well, Buck and Lorena — sorry, Lauren — apparently hate each other. And when Buck was asked for his thoughts about Ms. B he said her various “controversies” make George Santos look like a saint.
Amen to that! — You’re our little Saint George! We’re so happy to have you! BTW, if you’re out later, we’re woefully low on Diet Pepsi. There’s a ton of change in that cup near the door — may be enough for two sixes. Make sure you get the kind with caffeine. Thanks Buddy!
Did someone mention the Bobbitts? Yup, John W. and Lorena. Lorena, aka the mohel who went too far. Did you know she used a ginsu knife? Not kidding! They don’t put that in the ads. It happened on June 23, 1993. After “it” was sewn back on (surgically, of course) he went on to star in two porn films. (Again, not kidding.) Lorena said he raped and abused her for years. John was charged with rape but acquitted. She was charged with assault but acquitted by reason of insanity. (Third time — not kidding.) They were divorced in 1995.
Get this, although Lorena told Oprah in April 2009 that she had no interest in talking to John, they appeared together on the show The Insider the next month. It was their first meeting since their divorce. John apologized to her for the way he treated her during their marriage. John claimed that he still loved her and continued to send her Valentine’s Day cards and flowers. Sheesh — some guys just can’t read the signals. To me, the ginsu knife would make it pretty clear we’re not dating any more.
After our story on Curly Fry, we heard from OC fan Gladstone (NJ) Chris who says he watched a lot of roller derby in the 1960s on Philly’s UHF Channel 17. It was the only station other than CBS, ABC, NBC, and PBS in those days. There’s no telling how much damage it did to him as a youth.
Several Hunter students sought to capture the vitality of life at Hunter in this video. Take a look!
All hail the Lady Beavers! They vanquished the Irish 70-65 in a taut contest that went down to the wire. Owl Chatter fave Lily Hansford coolly sank two key threes, but Timea Gardiner, Raegan Beers, and Donovan Hunter led the effort. It’s down to the Elite Eight now, with the #1 team in the nation, South Carolina, the next opponent. See you Sunday, ladies — try to get enough sleep.
Here’s Raegan. Don’t let the pretty smile fool you. She’s deadly under the basket.
In the puzzle today, at 13D, “Ones who might roast you” was CANNIBALS. Pabloinnh was miffed: The worst error in this puzzle was the implication that CANNIBALS might roast you. As everyone who has ever seen a cartoon should know, CANNIBALS always put you in a big pot and boil you. Always. I know this is a crossword clue and not a definition, but come on.
Everyone’s favorite clue was at 26A: “Hunks of plastic?” Answer KENS. (Get it? Think Barbie.)
Some folks felt 26D didn’t quite work: “Contents of drug shipment.” KILOS. Seems fine to me.
Don’t touch my bags if you please, Mr. Customs Man! Hit it, Arlo!
See you tomorrow, everybody! Thanks for popping in.

Loved the photo of Ms. Boebert next to Santos. She looks like she is going to be sick [I guess SOMEBODY had to sit next to him!]
