 Holabird AdvocateProviding all the news we see fit to print since 2002!Tuesday, July 26, 2005 VOL. IV Issue 7O Say it Isn't So Watcher!!!!!! Once again, it appears that SD Blog Watch is going out of business. It seems that Professor Powers of SD War College figured out the true identity of SDBWM, known to all of us here at the Holabird Advocate as the Watcher. Even though The Professor promised to reveal his true name, he is closing down shop, and this time, it may be for good. The Watcher to us was a true hero. That he should be killed not with Kryptonite, not with a silver bullet, but by the "Power of Cheese" just makes it all the more sad. Yet, he will be with us in spirit. Whenever Dan Nelson is cheating a guy on a used car, he'll be there. Whenever people gather at the Crow Bar to drink their problems away, he'll be there. Whenever someone clicks on a Google ad, he'll be there too. There is nothing that any of us here at the Holabird Advocate, or the South Dakota blogging community, can do to show him our proper respect. Not many of them will miss him, but we will. The Watcher always had something good to say about our little Newsblog. He called us the nicest, and most under appreciated web publication in Dakota. It's a lot to live up to. We try, but don't always succeed. Reverend Jerry Hinkle has offered to pay the required $1 donation to make the man behind The Watcher a full member of the Holabird Church of Universal Life. He'll even entertain the idea of installing Pay Pal in there. Also, if he is agreeable, they will change the name of the church to St. Watcher's Universal Life Church. The Watcher deemed this necessary not because of his own security, but because of his family. If you need any more proof that he was a superhero. There it is. So long Watcher. Keep in touch, and remember that whenever you get to Holabird, there's a prime rib with your name on it, whatever it is. Hinkle Takes Working Vacation While some folks out west, there is a rare breed of man doing the same, but in a different way. Second Assistant Chief Douglas A. Hinkle of Pierre's Fire Engine Company #1 took time off from his day job fixing Chryslers at Wegner Auto. He is one of three such volunteers from the Capital City to journey just a few miles away from Mount Rushmore in the Hill City area. While others may gather to see the Faces out there, Doug and his colleagues are fighting a forest fire. In an era where today's young people are being discouraged from serving their country by parents and teachers alike, It's nice to see volunteer fire fighters do their bit for America. A Modest Proposal by Jerry Hinkle Holabird Advocate Publisher With "The Red Green Show" ending later this year, I thought it's too bad that someone can't pick up where the gang from Possum Lodge left off. I heard that there's a place in Pierre called "The Possum Lodge". You know, Dakota War College may be the perfect partner for a joint venture. All the South Dakota bloggers could get together at the "Lodge" and the Professor could video blog 20 episodes a year. That's all the Canadians filmed on the average anyway. Think about it. The show could be a funny version of The Caribou Show. I've never seen this show, but they must be that Caribou Lodge that Red Green always complains about. Public TV may even help us, if we get Todd Epp on board. So now there's the all important casting. Here are my first choices: Red Green- The Professor (maybe the Skipper too) Bernice Green- Michele Van Maanen (if we can find her) Harold Green-Todd Epp (only someone that PC could play Harold) Old Man Sedgwick- E.E. Hinkle (is there a better person for that role? I don't think so) Old Man Sedgwick father- Gutzon Borglum (Just in case he really does come back to life) Dalton Humphrey- The Watcher ( He will operate the Humphey's everything web site, and will constantly remind everyone to click on their Shopping Cart) Anne Marie Humphrey- Mrs. Watcher ( Who in one episode actually recognized Buster Hatfield's pajamas) Buster Hatfield- Jerry Hinkle (cold shower facilities next to the set may be called for) Stinky Peterson- The Sioux Falls John Morrell plant (not a speaking part, but then the "Stinkman" was quiet on the old show too!) Mike Hamar- Bill Janklow (obvious reasons) Winston Rothchild III- Doug Hinkle ( he has operated hoses before) Hap Shaunesy- Steve Sibson ( I don't know the man personally, but you know how people in a small blogging community talk) Kevin Black- Bernie Hunhoff (You know I had to give him a part) Eddie the Medical Marijuana Guy-Buzz Sherwood (another obvious choice) If I missed anybody, I'll fill them in later, Or perhaps you will
