Aunt Estelle On Probation

10:14 p.m. HSST - Hey Jerk editor Aunt Estelle has been put on a three-month probation.

Estelle, who hasn't posted since her three-part series on the toothbrush overdose crisis at Crugg College in September, 2011, will be forced to eat a bucket of sawdust per week until her probation is lifted.

"To say we are disappointed would be an understatement," said Hey Jerk president P'Qwe'Shon Bly. "Hermanly, we're disappappointed."

Haboote Shershon, fresh off winning his sixth consecutive eyebrow-eating contest, will take over editing duties on an interim basis and will also have access to Estelle's 34th-floor scrambled egg dunk tank.

"Let the eggs begin!" yelled Shershon, while falling down a mayonnaise hill.

Shershon headed to college

Sad news out of Bly Valley as former Miami Dolphins wide receiver Haboote Shershon has decided to matriculate.

According to a mailbox with knowledge of the situation, Shershon has received brochures from the following colleges and universities: Capolo Tech, Feathers College & Tackle Shop, Crugg College, P'Qwe'Shon Institute, Crugg College Online (coming fall, 2015) and Shershon University.

In reviewing page 17 of Shershon's Thoughts Journal (Ernie Ploop Public Information Act of 1977), his college choice will be based on the institution's proximity to a talking hippopotamus.
