AM Hucks: HBO Tells You Where You Left Your Bra

I’ve been trying to persuade you Huckleberries Print readers to check out my online blog. Yet some, like my dentist, Jim Robson, are reluctant to move online. So, I’ll play my hole card and tell you what you’re missing. If you had checked Huckleberries Online Wednesday, you’d be the first in your coffee klatch to know that Mayor Sandi Bloem is excited because her daughter will deliver twins this morning … That local attorney Starr Kelso’s rescue from Sasquatch and an elk hunting accident will be featured in an upcoming article of Outdoor Life by humor writer extraordinaire Patrick McManus … That Cruisers bar at Stateline is looking for the owners of sundry items left behind following the recent Pimp ‘n Ho party: a diamond studded earring, a pinky ring, a yellow bra and one unused, still-in-the-wrapper condom. (Owners must describe items to claim them) … That Cruisers has also sent out this all-patrons bulletin: “The cops have been sitting up by the water tower to get a full view of the world of Idaho. They will stop you for not stopping at the railroad tracks. Come to a full stop and put down your foot.” … That there’s at least one cat in the Northwest that isn’t afraid of the urban deer that have been terrorizing CdA Councilwoman Dixie Reid on Cherry Hill (with actual photo of cat chasing a deer) … That 77 percent of the respondents to an Idaho Statesman poll believe that a baby should always be locked in a car seat whenever the vehicle is moving. But an HBOer offers a valid exception to that rule. So, what will it take to get you onto my blog?
