Klauzenrodner Hired

Breaking news from Jerk headquarters as Santa Klauzenrodner has been named manager of the 1985 San Francisco Giants. The Giants, favorites to win Tuesday's world championship, also announced the hiring of Jaz Jerenovich as first-base coach and Poopy Persons as bullpen coach.

Klauzenrodner, seen here terrorizing the townspeople in artist's rendering titled "Christmas Eve", declined comment, except for this comment:

"Robby Thompson is on a short leash in the two-hole, and I mean that literally: we're going to have the bat boy hold him by a leash while he hits. It's the only thing we can do during this difficult economic time. I mean, have you seen what they're doing in Iowa these days? That's a troubling situation."

Date: December 21, 2011
Locale: Hong Kong, China
Stadium: Feng Zhoo-Wong Memorial Field
Conditions: N/A
Attendance: 98,233

Recap

Quarter 1: The Bison, coming off a disputed loss which is now under investigation for Illegal Walry by Henderson Middle, come out on fire. Sherman hits on his first 13 passes, 2 for touchdowns to reinvigorated slot back Ruso. Defensive Lineman Fritz Walvonk of Provo High passes away after attempting to arm tackle Hu on a fullback draw. Carted off field and lit on fire.

Quarter 2: Bison continue their dominance, and begin playing dirty by kicking their opponents when down. Sherman goes 14 of 15 in the quarter, with another 3 td passes to Skip Ruso, who begins to sing the Canadian national anthem and is carted off the field on Brad Kovacik's shoulders for halftime. Bison go to break up 42-0.

Halftime Recap

Christensen, disgruntled by lack of playing time, removes his underwear and eats it, all while running through the stands screaming about an Indian revolution and plans to take over the universe. He is removed by security and placed in a Chinese prison.

Quarter 3: Bison pull the starters, go with Ed Xomcheese at QB. Xomcheese finishes the quarter 1-9 for 14 yds and a rushing TD. Backup RB Ted Pinecone rumbles in for an additional TD as well. Bison up 56-0.

Quarter 4: In what has become tradition, Hu immediately eats linebacker Herman Bunkley on the first play of the quarter. He continues with his "Hu-Woo Potty Poo" dance at midfield, relieving himself in the process. Kurt Sherman disappears from the sidelines. Bison finish up with 56-0 win.

Notable Stats


Sherman - 27/28, 491 Yds (Bison Team Record), 6 TD, 1 Disappearance

Bison Hire New Waterboy

The Bison have lured ex-Broncos defensive coordinator Dennis Allen away to take over the role of Team Waterboy, formerly held by now deceased Wally Pipp.

Allen



Allen, who lasted 14 games for the Broncos in his inaugural season, was considered a hot commodity after his defense recently held the Kluppitch Middle Henry's to just under 700 yds of offense. He decided to take his "talents" to the Jerk for a contract of 3 years/ $14 million.

"I took my talents to the Jerk." - Dennis Allen

Bison Suffer First Loss

"Those guys stink."

- Anonymous


That quote, taken from a December 14 Nunce Valley Times newspaper article, wasn't directed at the Hey Jerk Bison football team. But the Bison coaching staff decided to use it as motivation any way leading into the squadron's Wednesday morning battle against Henderson Middle School.

"It didn't work."

- Anonymous

No, it did not work.

The Bison, who were coming off a pair of close victories, led 7-0 early, thanks to a John Hu four-yard touchdown run. That came after Hu ran the Bison's "watermelon play", pulling on Henderson defensive lineman Harvey Koo's arm pit hair and then swallowing hole a watermelon on a key, third-and-five at the 17-yard line.

Henderson, which came into the game 0-4 following a 17-3 loss to the Indianapolis Colts that led to bean dip riots in the streets of Hendersonville, responded immediately. The Chabooros used the absence of Steven Christensen (eyebrow-removal surgery) on the defensive line to let their workhorse tailback Fat Neck Glenn Jr. collect 170 of his 255 yards on three long touchdown runs to send Henderson into halftime up 21-7.

Halftime speech by Bison interim head coach Dead Karol:


In the second half, the Bison tried their "stand around and do nothing and hope the other team doesn't do anything either play", made famous by the Pat Zyn All Stars barnstorming team of the late-1960s, but instead Henderson did something, forcing the first of seven fumbles by new fullback Skip Ruso.

After his seventh fumble, Ruso was traded to the Cleveland Browns for a pile of leaves and a half of a ham sandwich under the north end zone to be named later.

Midway through the fourth quarter, with the Bison trailing 56-7 and the home fans at the newly-renamed Toast Crumb Stadium literally booing until their ears fell off ("Six reports of falling ears", Kroog Statesman), Bison linebacker Tommy Buckner sacked Henderson's 8th-string quarterback Wu Kawa-N'ienk in the end zone for a safety to cut the deficit to 56-9.

The Bison players rewarded coach Dead Karol with a spicy mustard bath.


Final: Henderson Middle 66, Bison 7

Staff Cooley Hired



Hey Jerk has hired Ed Cooley as Staff Cooley. The position, long held by Reggie Cooley, opened up after a Tuesday evening mashed potato riot saddened thousands.

Ed Cooley, also the head coach of the Providence College men's basketball team, will be responsible for hiring other Cooleys as well as scratching coolies.

Game 3 Recap: Poddy Valley at Bison

Date: November 30, 2011
Locale: Quebec, Ontario
Stadium: N/A - Played in local dump
Conditions: Raining Gary's
Attendance: 4

Recap

Quarter 1: Kurt Sherman, embattled QB and old-man enthusiast, returns fully clothed in anticipation of this matchup of unbeatens. After the Bison elect to receive, Sherman receives the ball 7 yds deep and begins sprinting down the far sideline. 12 seconds later, Sherman was at the Poddy Valley 3 yd line, where Poddy Valley Garbanzo Bean Victor Mooshay horse collars Sherman and drags him out of bounds, kicking him along the way. Sherman gets up, bloodied and having messed his underwear, and sprints back out to the huddle. 14 plays later, Hu eats defensive lineman Hugo Feathers of the Garbanzo Beans and stumbles into the endzone. 7-0 Bison as drive takes entire quarter. Sherman taken to locker room by trainers to address underwear situation.

Quarter 2: Beans go 7 and out on first drive, and Bison take over at the Beans 14 after a blocked punt by Patrick Zyn, who showed up before the game even though he is no longer a member of the team. On the following play, Sherman throws into the endzone to Zyn, who does the Zyn-o-rama shuffle in celebration. 9 seconds later officials notify Zyn that he is in the incorrect endzone and the score is tied up, 7-7. Zyn sprints around the field 4 times and then collapses. Medical reports not available at this time.

Halftime Recap

Steven Christensen lights himself on fire and runs through the halls of Bison Arena screaming about civil rights for abused rhinoceros.

Quarter 3: Poddy Valley receives and flanker/H-back K'Quell Pooha takes the kickoff back 97 yds for a score. A missed extra point leaves the deficit at 6 for the Bison, 13-7. Poddy Valley attempts the onside kick, which fails when Skip Ruso falls on it at the 50. On the very next play, Sherman runs the pitch to Ruso who rumbles 50 yds down the sideline and into the endzone. Ruso doesn't stop running and has not yet been located. 14-13, Bison.

Quarter 4: After stopping Poddy Valley on downs, the Bison receive the ball via fair catch at their own 2 yd line. Coach Hu calls for the 47-Potty Draw on 3, and Sherman hands the ball to Hu. Lineman Kovacik eats 4 lineman on the other team (deaths ensued) and Hu rumbles 97 yds for a score and a steak. Sherman begins his "Shermy-two-three" jig and is penalized 15 yds on the kickoff. 21-13, Bison. Bison attempt onside kick and succeed. After taking three knees, the game is over and another victory is in the books for the Bison. Sherman straps on his jetpack and takes off, stating he had a meeting to attend on Mars.

Notable Stats

Sherman: 17-93, 199 yds, TD, 27 INT
Ruso: 17 Carries, 144 yds, 14 lost fumbles, TD

Celebration, Part 2

Hey Jerk's 2nd anniversary party - November 26, 2011

Bison Postgame Notes: Week 2

After an impressive 26-7 victory over Winder-Barrow HS, the Bison took to the locker room in glee. Bison staffers had already covered the walls with plastic and had the champagne bottles ready, and the Bison players did not disappoint. Sherman, after his refusal to play, stood in the middle of the room holding a bottle of Dom (Sherman was nude), and began his weekly postgame speech.

"We won one for Zyn. Plain and simple. Lets celebrate like drunken octopi!"

Immediately after, Sherman vanished into thin air and has not been located since. With that, however, things began to get ugly. Coach/RB Hu attempted to eat lineman Steven Christensen, but was stopped when Skip Russo got in the middle with a meatloaf and subsided Hu's hunger. Recently traded Pat Zyn began smoking some type of dark rock, and instantly proclaimed that he was changing his name to Vance Bentley, effective immediately. Zyn then fell into Jon Scottsten's locker, removed his underwear, and sang the national anthem. Several team members, led by Dead Karol, then relieved themselves on Bentley. Staffers remained after hours to clean up the "situation."

Security was finally brought in around 3:30 AM GST to remove the remaining team members, but not before lineman Brad Kavack was able to blow wind and declare the locker room a "war zone" that needed to be defended by the United States government and armed forces.

Bison Move to 2-0

Coming off an emotional, flatulent victory over the Cleveland Browns practice squad, the Hey Jerk Bison felt good about their chances week two against Winder-Barrow High School.

"We feel good about our chances week two against Winder-Barrow High School," Bison coach/running back John Hu said after a practice session/walnut-eating contest.

Despite the disappearance of wide receiver Pat Zyn and quarterback/rhino salesman Kurt Sherman's refusal to play, the Bison took the field with nine players and scored on a 92-yard touchdown pass from new quarterback Michaela Russo to recently-signed tight end Mark Bavaro. Winder-Barrow, playing in pastrami helmets to promote world peace, answered with an 18-play drive and tie the game at 7-7 on a four-yard touchdown run by Herman Binkey.

Neither team scored until Hu took a pitch on a sweep and executed his world-famous "hippo run" and scored from 25 yards out, much to the delight of a guy named Steve. The Bison led 14-7 at halftime, leading to this speech from tailback Skipmond Ruso, who no one asked to speak:

"They said the Russians couldn't win in '73! They said the Bay City Bluejays couldn't come back and win the bronze medal in the 40s! Someone told Vance Wesler he'd never yodel again! Remember Miles Quinn?! Now go out there and win one for what's-his-name or this Christmas everyone gets a lump of cold medicine in their stocking!"

After Ruso was taken in the back for questioning, the Bison came out strong in the third quarter, going up 17-7 when Louise Russo kicked a 74-yard field goal with Hu gas in her face.

"Holy asparagus," said Bison fan Merv Kellog, 106.

Winder-Barrow had a nine-and-out on the ensuing possession, then after a Bison punt of seven yards by Dead Karol, Winder running back Zhang Shui-Wei ran in the wrong direction and out of the back of his own end zone, giving the Bison a safety and a 19-7 lead. Shui-Wei then vanished.

In the fourth, Bison receivers Stinky Harnish and Steven Christensen teamed up on a wheelbarrow run for 53 yards, which put Hey Jerk up 26-7 and sent most of the traveling Winder fans towards the exits.

"I sold my mud store for this?," said Winder fan James Pershack, who sold his mud store for this.

As the final seconds ticked down, Zyn surprised everyone on the Bison sideline by arriving in his underwear, running out to midfield and miming shooting two free throws. Zyn then hopped on his koala and disappeared into the night.

Bison stay unbeaten at 2-0 with a 26-7 victory on Phonebook Night at Hey Jerk Stadium.

BREAKING: Editor Robert Feathers Jr. Missing

Robert Feathers, longtime editor and cheese enthusiast, has gone missing. Once believed to be the next great leader of this corporation, Feathers began building a long list of enemies here at The Jerk. Capped off by his admission of steroids use in the late 90's, Feathers has become one of, if not the, most hated members of this company.

Bison Postgame Notes

News and notes following the Hey Jerk Bison's opening night victory.


Hu Named Player of the Week

Bison fullback/coach John Hu was named the Tap Water Player of the Week after his performance in the come-from-behind win over the Browns. Hu, who averaged more than six yards per carry and scored seven touchdowns, dedicated the honor to his collection of napkins from various fast food restaurants, which now numbers in the low-100s.

"I told you several times I did not want to be interviewed," said Hu.


Quarterback Competition Opens Up

With Kurt Sherman's miserable performance and near-goldfish overdose following the Bison win, a quarterback competition has opened up in camp. According to Hu, who was named the team's coach during an unfortunate incident at halftime, Sherman will share practice reps with Michaela Ruso, a one-year old with gas who over the summer ran a 9.6 40-yard dash at the Handy Manny Combines.

Zyn Reportedly Traded to Indianapolis

Pat Zyn, who during the pre game contributed steak sandwich wind and a four-yard run on a draw in his living room, has reportedly been traded to the Indianapolis Colts. According to that guy over there, the Bison received half of a bag of grapes and a deflated football for Zyn, the 17th overall pick in the 1974 draft.

Incident of Violence Reported

Skipmond Ruso, who scored the Bison's first touchdown Wednesday on an 80-yard run that was called "the run heard 'round the area where the run took place", followed an unidentified Browns practice player into the parking lot and the two had a verbal disagreement that quickly turned to physical violence. According to an eye witness, Herman Wultz, Ruso began digging at the Browns player's face with a plastic spoon and shouting about engine coolant. Ruso was questioned by local police, but escaped into a nearby forest. His whereabouts are unknown, as is his available for the Bisons' practice Friday afternoon.

Winder-Barrow Ready For Week 2 Match Up

The Winder-Barrow High School (GA) Bulldoggs said they're ready for the Bison and have targeted Russo and flanker Will Harnish as their main targets of physical violence during next Wednesday's key division 7-B match up at Jerk Stadium. Winder-Barrow, which lost 83-6 to the St. Louis Rams' 1983 hall of fame class in a game played in a Walgreens parking lot, will be without head coach Ernie Porter, who has taken a leave of absence to raise a family of hamsters "the right way" (Capolo Times - November 15, 2011).

Drawing Found at Scene of Capolo's Arrest

Startling developments in the Capolo arrest story that gripped ours and many nations early Thursday. A strange drawing of a ferret with a horseshoe hat and a tri-colored fox tail was found at the scene of where Capolo was detained for public intoxication (mayonnaise) and transferred to O'Shoogie insane Asylum for Darryls & Walters at 6:01 p.m. GST.



Police, an iguana named Frederick and a bucket of sawdust, say the drawing will be up for auction this weekend annual luncheon for the Save the Lundquists Foundation.

Game 1 Recap: Bison at Cleveland Browns Practice Squad

Date: November 16, 2011
Locale: Cleveland, Ohio
Stadium: N/A - Played in Joe Guagliardo's parents back yard
Conditions: Snow
Attendance: 0

Recap

Quarter 1: Browns win the toin coss (HEADS) and elect to receive. HJ placekicker Lou Ruso kicks the ball 4 yds, where Browns player Harvey Henkle picks up the ball and runs into the HJ endzone in 4 seconds for a quick 6-0 lead. Not surprisingly, Henkle was untouched during the play. On the Jerk's first possession of the season, HJ quarterback Kurt Sherman called for the blue rhino, handing the ball off to John Hu for a quick 1/2 yd gain. Things were looking up for the Bison, and on the next play Sherman got greedy, calling the yellow ostrich on three (fake pitch to Hu deep out route by Zyn) which turned out to be a disaster. Pat Zyn never got off the line, as he was nude, and Sherman threw a 3 yd out route that was picked and run back for the TD. Suffice it to say, by the end of the quarter the Browns practice squad was up 49-0, and the Bison had run 5 plays for -56 yds.

Quarter 2: The Browns, up 49-0, take their foot off the gas a bit, deciding to rest up and play only 3 on each side of the ball. On their first play from scrimmage in the second quarter, the Browns center snapped the ball to QB Aron O'Malley, who ran straight through 11 Jerk defenders for a 99 yd score. Down 56-0, Hey Jerk took the ball at the 20 with a new goal in mind. "Lets get a yard" said tailback Skip Russo - and they did that and much more. Against a defensive line of 1 and secondary of 2, Russo calls the sneaky-maria, a trick play. Sherman pitches to Hu, who in turn runs the flea flicker back to Sherman - who hits Russo with a 4 yd curl. With no one within 20 yds of him, and Zyn passed out nude at the Browns 40, Ruso takes it 80 yds for the score. Lou Ruso adds the extra point and the scoring in the first half is done - Bison head to the locker room down 56-7.

Halftime Recap

Zyn passes out in stall 3, forcing Coach Hu to activate Dead Karol. Sherman runs into the opposing locker room nude, screaming about the state of international nuclear affairs.

Quarter 3: HJ start off at the 20. Browns decide to rest 3rd defender, start off with one man line and one man secondary. First play from scrimmage, Sherman end-around to Christensen, who lined up wide. Christensen hit for 12 yd loss and fumbles the ball, recovered by the Browns. Fortunately, the Browns are running a two man offense. On their first play, LB Dead Karol chases QB O'Malley back 92 yards into his own end zone and records the safety. HJ right back in the game, 56-9.

Quarter 4: Browns decide to leave. Sherman, while throwing 4 picks in the quarter, remains in the game at QB and hands the ball off 43 times to Hu, who scores 7 TD's uncontested. The Browns squad left at 14:55 of the quarter, so was not present to witness their demise. HJ lineman Steven Christensen carries Hu off the field, and they start writing a novel post game entitled "Bison v. Browns Practice Squad: The Game That Changed The Millenium." Bison win, 58-56.

Horace Meglock: Biography Release Party Announcement

Horace Meglock, former Staff Aquarium and well-liked astronaut, is being honored posthumously through a biography written by Gerrit Oberman. As most of you know, Dr. Meglock was lost to us after being kidnapped and forced to live in one Oscar Rainbow's basement while he was on a vacation to Indiana with his family, the Meglocks.

Meglock (Deceased)


An excerpt from the biography can be found below.

"Horace was a silly man, constantly trying to entertain. His sense of humor ran out, however, when the horrible Mr. Rainbow felt that the basement had become too cold. Citing research he had done, Rainbow claimed that Horace Meglock was a solid alternative to kindling wood, and threw Mr. Meglock into his furnace. Meglock's family watched with popcorn in hand as Horace slowly but surely perished and headed towards the next phase. " - Chapter 3, Page 67

The book is being released this Friday, and will be available for sale at all local Hey Jerk convenience stores for €49 (49 pounds). Please join us in restroom 4c for the celebration Thursday at 9 PM.

HJ Bison Practice #3: Report

Gary, Indiana - The Bison took the field this morning for their third practice in preparation for their season opener next week, and looked mentally and physically ready to dominate their competition. A few highlights from the practice below:

Ruso: Left practice at 14 minute mark to make "violent diarrhea" in the women's restroom (Reason for using women's restroom below)

Zyn: DNP. Was found nude and smoking a cigarette, locked in the men's restroom singing "God Bless America." When door was finally knocked down, Zyn barreled through security and ran into the woods, screaming about the economy.

Sherman: Pantsless. Refuses to say "hut" or "hike" in order to get Kavack to snap ball, insists on saying "Economy" instead. Photo taken after Sherman threw his 14th pick of the scrimmage (below)


Hu: Ate LG Christensen. Lineman becoming scared for lives.

O'Dea: Flashes the stands, while yelling "boo-yah!" Fans flee.

HJ Bison Practice #2: Report

***THIS NEWS IS BREAKING AND HAS BEEN CONFIRMED BY THOSE WITH KNOWLEDGE OF THE BISONS PRACTICE FACILITY***

Pat Zyn, WR and LB for the HJ Bison, was a no-show to practice today, which carries a 1 week no-cigarette punishment. 15 minutes after practice had begun, QB Kurt Sherman ran into the locker rooms screaming about the political climate in Russia. 3 seconds later, screams were heard coming from the depths of the facility. Upon further investigation, Sherman had located Zyn - nude in a trash can in Locker Room Beta. Zyn had 14 still burning cigarettes on his person and was mumbling something about "lack of dedication" on the Bison squadron. He was also found to be extremely intoxicated and needed 4 men to remove him from the trash can, as he screamed about "equality on this planet" and fought "for his rights."

The team has yet to decide what the punishment, other than the 1 week cigarette ban, will be.

Stay tuned for updates at The Jerk.

Dulfman Machine Discovered



Shocking news from Hey Jerk headquarters where a Dulfman machine was found in Capolo Forest late Monday. The Dulfmans, a famous peanut butter family that helped Uruguay win the 1988 Olympic games, were rumored to be extinct after former staff Larry Larry Dulfman was eaten whole by Bill Laimbeer during a May, 2011 basketball game against the Detroit Pistons. But Dulfman's son, Larry Jr. showed up in snow pants ("Hey Look, Dulfman's Got Snow Pants", Snow Pants Monthly, November 3, 2011) and will portray Richie Capooga in the plane plotzer's life story, due in theaters less than 580 years from now.

The exact location of the Dulfman machine won't be released to the press until all of the penguins arrive.

Marty and the Penguins

By Staff Correspondent Junior A. Sherman


Marty was the king of the penguin people, a group of northeastern Vohl responsible for the abduction of more than 15 uneaten pieces of toast (Toast Monthly, November 28, 1994). They had appointed Marty to his current post during the election of 1998, just two weeks after the winter artichoke and aardvark-eating contest sent four produce managers to the electric water fountain (Murray Times, December 2, 1998). Marty was running against the incumbent, canary, who promised Chinese people, but couldn't deliver.

During his acceptance yodel, Marty nearly overdosed on podium, but survived.

In January, 1999, the penguins threw a parade for Marty on the morning of the 16th, but it was too late (it was evening by then), and Marty was instructed to insult a statistician, take two Jills and call for maps of Wyoming in the morning.

Blessed with the gift of a road atlas, they could finally afford a drummer and Marty and the Penguins performed nightly at The Above Ground Pool until Paul Penguin drowned (Penguin Daily, August 13, 1999) and the rest of the group vanished to Spanish.

Sazzle Arrested

Mort's Hardware Lions reliever Bobby Sazzle was arrested Wednesday evening for public disturbance. Sazzle, who was a 2010 Gafreda County All-Star for the Nottingham Noodles but was traded for a bag of chocolate-covered cherries to Mort's Hardware in February, was brought into police custody after Sgt. Ernie Veltz had to be called to the 31-year old's two-story refrigerator box.

"Mr. Sazzle was screaming profanity at his goldfish, who he claimed was called "Uncle Amos", and was without pants when I asked him to calm down," Veltz said. "He refused and began to reenact the battle of lettuce mountain, which he said was 'the key scene' of a play he starred in in the 40s. I apprehended the suspect and placed him in the squad car and I believe he relieved himself on the back seat."

Lions' owner Herbert Landover II declined comment.

Ballspeed Passes On



Herman Ballspeed, younger brother of staff Ballspeed, Ricky, has died of desk lamp overdose. The 53-year old former eyebrow model was having a lamp on his lunch break when he ate too much and passed away.

Thousands were saddened by Herman's death, but only these three people were available:

"I didn't like the man when he was Larry Benson, and I don't like him now."


- Vanessa Ballspeed, sister

"Who? Never heard of him."


- Dr. Emmit Pinndle

"If I told him Darren, I told him Wendell times: the lamp goes in cord first. But the kid played by his own rules. Unfortunately, this time the lamp won. So I guess the final score is Desk Lamp 1, Herman 0, Cheese Pile 7."


- Anonymous

Herman's funeral is scheduled for October 27, but in 2017.

Mensh Barkley: R.I.W.

Mensh Barkley died early Tuesday morning. His closest neighbor spoke at the funeral. Here's the eulogy in its entirety, except for the parts that are not included.


"I knew Mensh, maybe better than anyone, but probably not better than that guy sitting over there. He was a champion bobsledder, but he never bobsledded. Grew two kids in his garden-K'Peen and Dossandra-and bought a wife at a Chevron, Doot, who ate a sled full of hotdogs in 1943 and lived, then died.

Just to clear some things up, this is the official runaway train story: it was June 5, 1977. Mensh throws a stapler at a train while shouting profanities in his native Portuguese. Train flattens Mensh. Not dead, but oddly missing his dungarees. And his legs.

Humiliated by his father's refusal to have his own legs, K'Peen, took his own life in a vat of diet cola in 1998. I'll remember Mensh for his brown hair, and I'm afraid I can't think of anything else."

New Show To Star Ernest Bly

Hey Jerk TV, in conjunction with that guy sitting over there with the yellow shirt on, has announced a new reality television show to debut in early-November. The show, tentatively titled "The Blys: A Look Inside Their Noses", will follow the day-to-day lives of the Bly family, namely Ernest Bly, his wife, Eleanor and their three illegitimate plums.


Ernest Bly

The show will also tackle a number of Bly family issues, including:

1. Why did Ernest attack a spider with a toothbrush on the night of October 8?
2. Who is Carlton Bursonavich and why is he paying rent to sleep in the Bly's bathtub?
3. The artichoke fight from last Thanksgiving and the chances of it happening again this year.
4. What happened to Grandpa Bly's pants?

The pilot is scheduled to air on HJTV November 6 at 8:00 p.m. Special guest stars expected to appear in the pilot include the guy from the alien movie with the mustache and Harvey Klinger, half man-half banana pepper.

Xomcheese released the following statement through his spokesman, Bob Brenly:

"I did not, despite reports to the contrary, EVER go missing. I simply chose a rebirth. I have traveled the world wide, from the United States to Canada, and have come back a man on a mission. That mission? To eliminate this blog from within. I will infiltrate. I will infest. I will destroy. Not one will survive, not even Glenn.

Xomcheese Missing

Staff editor Edward Xomcheese has reportedly gone missing, according to a guy sitting over there next to that other guy. Xomcheese was put on suspension for lettuce evasion for the entire month of June and when he returned an armadillo was growing in his hair. Though he did contribute to several breaking stories including Capolo Tinkled Himself Again (August 22, 2011) and News Story, Part 6 (September 8, 2011), Xomcheese went missing on several occasions in early October and Jerk officials feel the latest incident could signal the end of the 53-year old's tenure.

Fenton Picklesby is no longer with us on this planet. He has moved on to the next phase.

Picklesby (DEAD)



Picklesby, well known for his long standing position against Random Acts of Alberts (RAA), and his penchant for eating Nascar drivers that place lower than 14th overall in the "Chase" each year, has passed on. Early reports indicate that Picklesby was attempting to eat Kyle Busch, when he realized that Busch had an anti-Picklesby missile attached to his person and armed. Picklesby attempted to flee but by then it was far too late. Picklesby's remains are currently being gathered from around the globe so that a proper burial with fecal can ensue.

President Glenn Makes "State of the Jerk" Address

Once a year, or "annually," the President of The Jerk makes his State of the Jerk address to a crowd of insane, substantially odorous onlookers. This year, President Rodney Glenn did the same, as outlined below.

Glenn



Date: October 10, 2011
Location: Hey Jerk Combines (Sight of the 2012 HJ Draft)
Attendance: 14,980,300 (Est.)
Gary: N/A

Transcript of speech:

"Greetings. My name is Fat-Neck Glenn, esteemed leader of this corporation. You, as shareholders, are a vital cog in our path to success. You're valuable contributions keep us moving in the right direction, and for that, I am grateful to each and every one of you.

That said, I think you all stink. I have been murdered, hired, murdered and hired again in my attempts to 'right this ship.' I have been shown little appreciation except for the fact that I will most likely be murdered again sometime soon. For this, I despise all of you, and wish you all slow and painful demises.

On to the meat of this address. We have several topics we wish to discuss today, including Ross Oberman, our editorial situation, Chuck Frozengard, Heinrich Capeetle, and the current financial state of our company. We will begin with what is now being referred to as "The Oberman Saga." When I came onboard, I made a promise to take care of the death threatening lunatic that has become a thorn in the side of The Jerk. I severely underestimated the man, and subsequently many have died and he remains nearly invisible to us. On this subject, I'd like to say that I plan an all out assault on the Oberman Foundation, and will not sleep until he is found. In spite of this, I am not confident I will find him before he kills several more of you. Those are the breaks.

As far as our editors, Capolo, Rainbow, and Estelle are concerned - I think we are in fairly good hands here. Capolo has once again escaped to sea, but we expect him back in a matter of months. In the meantime, we are in the very capable albeit insane hands of Oscar Rainbow. When I notified Rainbow of his new leadership role, he embraced the opportunity, and remarked 'Poopy for all!' I expect nothing short of another trip to the bin for Rainbow, this time perhaps finally resulting in his death.

Frozengard - well, what can I say about the man that hasn't already been said. We thought we were rid of him, and again, he returned. We put him in the dungeon to await assassination, and yet he lives. He is now due in mid-November with Steven Balboni's love child. I'm afraid that the disaster that is Charles Frozengard may be unavoidable, and is most likely here to stay, despite the many gary's made by the staff.

As far as Heinrich Capeetle - well, this isn't an easy topic to approach. Heinrich was a beloved part of my life for decades. We spent lonely evenings together, took strolls on the beach. We routinely watched the sunrise while fornicating to the sounds of Lionel Richie. Heinrich's departure from my life has left me with a hole in my heart - or my paper bag - that I long to have filled. When I murdered Heinrich this time last week, I decided that engulfing him in flames and laughing manically as he turned to ashes was the right thing for the economy. But now I am left alone, and I will begin seeking a new mate - one to spend the rest of my days with. You will all be informed of the raffle.

And finally, our financial outlook has never been more grim. Without the $7mil US that Frozengard was providing us each year, we have hit the red. And we have hit it hard. I have formed a task force to address our financial struggles and to lead us into the next millennium. Lead by Cleveland Booby and Pal Fimply, this squad will quickly and resolutely put an end to our financial troubles, and leave you, the shareholders, confident in the direction in which this great establishment is headed. Expect updates on this in the near future.

To close - goodbye. "

Oberman Spotted Yet Escapes, Again

Ross Oberman has been spotted by the local Uruguagian Gary Foundation (UGF). He apparently is in disguise once again, and at this point authorities are unsure as to whether or not they will ever be able to catch the increasingly cunning Dr. Oberman.

Oberman (In Uruguay)


Upon being located, Oberman threw a piece of note paper on the ground and sped off in his bright yellow Lamborghini. The note read the following:

"You will never catch me. I am smarter, faster, and more intelligent than you. In addition to that, I have gas. And while I'm at it, I'd like to issue a death threat to Oscar Rainbow, Editor at The Jerk and internationally renowned idiot. Your reign of gary is over, Rainbow. You've picked your last coolie."

Oberman is now missing once again. Any tips can be sent to FindRossOberman@obermanfoundation.com.

Jerk Makes Influential Hire



A new era has begun at the Jerk as a Staff Wayne Tolleson has finally been hired. Warren Lump, who on more than one occasion has been mistaken for a giant piece of chewed bubblegum with neckarms, was hired Sunday afternoon. Lump, who arrived from the planet Mushroom with "homicidal thoughts" (Zellichtown Register, 9/27/11) recently found "God", a graham cracker underneath Boris Wilson's living room couch, and has devoted his life to peace and understanding. And taco shell ear muffs.

Lump also ate a mouse in 1988, which single-handily helped Norway to gold in the Olympic games. He is reportedly at odds with several staff members, including Charles Frozengard and staff editor Oscar Rainbow.

Balboni Returns

Staff Steve Balboni Steve Balboni, last seen in early May falling off the roof of HQ, wandered back to HQ this morning, completely naked.

Balboni



Balboni, known around HQ for his monsterous doodies and missing underwear, was not welcomed back into HQ. Instead, he was thrown into the dungeon with Chuck Frozengard, who escaped assassination this AM when he flung fecal at the guardsmen, permanently blinding him.

Balboni and Christensen have since fornicated, resulting in a Frozengard pregnancy. Please check back in the coming days for updates on the coming child.

A Letter to the Editor from Crazy Shane

Dear,

Hey Jerk:

Firsts, I diddle doodle noffing you knuckle flumders. Asking my brillo pad-in law, Ferris, his nose my wheelbarrow abouts. I was a home, sleep on a cow.

And any, I wouldn't vote for these gassers, they pobbily don't wersh their dungers or their jog straps.


Until,
Shane

Lundquist Finally Brought On Board



The suffering of an entire nation is finally over as Jerk management has announced the hiring of Verne Lundquist as Staff Lundquist. Verne, who recently starred in the off-broadway play Me and Verne Lundquist, was selected over hundreds of Lundquists, including Mitch Lundquist and Lundquist The Clown.

Verne will occupy office #210, which recently was the hideout for an army of killer sandpaper. (Source: Sandpaper Times)
