Don't know who might have figured this one out but, yesterday was April Fool's Day!
The tombstone was a fake.
"Polo LaFir" is April Fool spelled sideways.
As you can clearly see in the photo below, Corky is alive and well and running with the wildebeest
somewhere in the Serengeti.
(The April Fool's idea was Corky's, not mine.)

ReplyDelete“A Letter from Corky”
Hello Angus, Hello Eddie,
I am in the Serengeti
The desert’s very loud and noisy
Like the Purpose Driven Church they have in Boise
There’s a lake here, but no fishin’
That’s okay though, ‘cause my mission
Isn’t finished by a far sight
Calvinistic Cartoons blog’s the number one site.
Here it’s different, here it’s scary
Lotta people worship Mary
You remember Bishop Tupper
He got ptomaine poisoning at communion supper
Now I don’t want this should ‘nnoy ya’
The Arminians got paranoia
They are hiding all the Bibles
Just in case there is an outbreak of revivals.
Take me home, oh Eddie Eddings
If not home, then maybe Redding,
Don’t leave me out in the desert where I might get trampled by a beast
Take me home, I promise I will
Not play jokes, or hide from Atheists their smokes
I please don’t make me beg, I’ll give you hard-boiled eggs.
Dearest Eddie, my dear brother
How is Angus? How’s my mother.
Let me come home if you miss me,
I would even let Faye Rosehart hug and kiss me
Wait a minute, there’s no lions
No more roaring, no more dyin’
It is quiet, gee that’s better
Eddie, Angus, kindly disregard this letter.

ReplyDeleteDear JBG, you are brilliant!
And your lyrics are resiliant!
La la la laa dum de dum dum
La la la la hum de hum hum
something something da da da daa
da da la la hum de hum hum
mumble de dum dum
...in other words...Pure genius!
ReplyDeleteBrother Eddie!
ReplyDeleteThat was hilarious! I laughed so hard at your lyrics (I'm going to steal your line from some time back now, my friend)...
"that milk shot out of my nose; which is interesting because I was drinking Mountain Dew at the time."
Blessings to you, my brother. You were truly predestined to make us laugh.
[the "Word Verification" for this comment is pater
Using pater in a sentence...
When Mrs. Greta Dischtain mentioned Calvinistic Cartoons to Corky at the Piggly Wiggly checkout lane 3, in Tungsten, Mississippi, Corky pater 37 cents in tarnished pennies and gave her a check for $5000, redeemable only at the Fried Pickle Buffet in Oxford, Alabama.]
EASTER GREETINGS FROM THE OLD GEEZER
ReplyDeleteI PRAY YOU AND YOUR FAMILY WILL HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY CELEBRATING RESURRECTION SUNDAY.
HE IS RISEN!
GOD BLESS YOU, RON
I'm glad Corky is still with us.
ReplyDelete@jbg - hilarious lyrics!
Shame on you for making us think that Corky was dead by using a fake photo. Now we find out you cheetahed!
ReplyDeleteI also am very glad to see Corky back and enjoying a new expedition!
ReplyDeleteJbg I agree, your song is a masterpiece!
