Rock Anderson: . . . And there
were nothing but smiles all around after local firefighters retrieved Snuggles
the cat from the top of an old oak tree on the 400 block of Paris Avenue.
Earlier today, they presented the adorable kitten to her rightful owner, The
Crazy Cat Lady. And now here's our literatologist Sonny with Lansing's
most accurate weather forecast. So, Sonny, should we be expecting
cooler weather any time soon?
Sonny Idiot: Rock, I feel so
miserable without you, it's almost like having you here. But in answer to
your question, I thought we were experiencing a cooling trend on Phil
Robertson's Happy Happy Happy (9781476726090) 24.99, but it's starting
to heat up again. We saw a spike in sales in the low 90s this week . . .
Rock Anderson: Hey!
Sonny Idiot: Let's see what
we have on Lansing's #1 Doppler radar right now. As you can see, the
Midwest is blanketed with a serious weather pattern that will pummel us with
J.K. Rowling's Cuckoo's Calling (9780316206846) 26.00 for the rest of
the evening. It will be interspersed with a smattering of Aslan Reza's Zealot
(9781400069224) 27.00. And I'm sure you know what happens when you get a
summery mix of Cuckoos and Zealots. Nothing good. We are extending
our severe weather warning until 6:00am tomorrow.
Rock Anderson: Great!
Sonny Idiot: Well, let's take
a look at the long-range forecast. Fortunately, it looks like it will be
relatively mild. The only titles of consequence released by next week's
storm front will be Clive Cussler's The Tombs (9780425265079) 9.99 and
J.D. Robb's Calculated in Death (9780425250730) 7.99. It will be
raining blood and gore in C.J. Box's The Highway (9780312583200)
25.99. There is a likely chance we will be innudated by David Gilbert's &
Sons (9780812993967) 27.00 at the end of next week. Thanks for
stopping by and here's sports model Jacques with the latest on the Lugnuts.
Jacques Stapp: Bonjour!

odds. May the best author win . . .
