Hello, folks and Happy 11th Birthday, WDC! You are the site that rocks on, year after year. We can all be thankful to SM and SMs for making this such an inviting place to put pen to paper, eye to word and all those fun activities in-between that keep us coming back for more. 
It is also my third anniversary as a Comedy Newsletter, editor. This edition takes us to the old time favorite pastime, other than apple pie, that is.  Let's take a look ... |

Perhaps I've mentioned this before, but I doubt it. WL and I are staunch fans of baseball and are really passionate for our team teams. Yes, folks, the dirty secret is that one of us is a Yankees fan and the other is a Red Sox fan.
You say, so-what! Why would we be surprised about that? We know that WL moved to your state, WW. He must have hailed from New York.
Yes, folks, you're right. WL is a native New Yorker and WW is a native New England, girl. She lives not too far from Boston.
Well, WW, what did you expect? Did you honestly expect him to be a Red Sox fan?
No! I expected him to be a Yankees fan!
Wait a minute WW, do you mean to tell us that you, a witch who lives a broom's throw from Boston, is not a Red Sox fan?!!!
Yup! That would be the case, my friends. Whoa, whoa, hold on, there, why are you picking on me?!!! Why are you not as shocked about WL, a New York, born and bred guy, being a Red Sox fan? Hmmmm? I detect a little reader hostility here.
The truth is, my father was a staunch, Boston Braves fan. He so enjoyed his team until they left Boston. Once that happened, he made a solemn vow never to ever cheer-on a Boston team, again.
He kept his promise and raised us kids to be Yankees fans. He instilled in brainwashed us at a young age, the wisdom of seeing the virtue of becoming a die-hard Yankees fan. He said it in many different ways, (that I can't print here,) such as, if you ever, ever, cheer for those Rat B@$#&*!%, I will disown, you! Which never meant much to me, because I didn't like the feeling of being owned, anyway. However, I knew that in order to get favors, money, a ride somewhere perhaps, I'd have to be a Yankees fan, period!
It wasn't all that hard, because I moved around so much as an adult. I thought it ridiculous to have to get accustomed to new teams whenever I moved to another state, so I just stayed a Yankees fan. They were pretty consistent, and not a team to be embarrassed about, to say the least.
Thus, after years of being a traveler and although my father has been dead for many, many, years, I came back to my home state, still cheering for the Yankees. I think about him whenever I see them play and especially when they win.
Now, stop picking on me and go ask WL, why he's a Red Sox fan.  I bet his story is not as compelling as mine.
Here are some unforgettable parting quotes, for this edition of the Comedy Newsletter, by the memorable, Yogi Berra.
A nickel ain't worth a dime anymore.
All pitchers are liars or crybabies.
Always go to other people's funerals, otherwise they won't come to yours.
Baseball is ninety percent mental and the other half is physical.
Congratulations. I knew the record would stand until it was broken.
Even Napoleon had his Watergate.
Half the lies they tell about me aren't true.
He hits from both sides of the plate. He's amphibious.
How can you think and hit at the same time?
I just want to thank everyone who made this day necessary.
I never said most of the things I said.
Until next time, laugh hard, laugh often!
Ta,
Web~Witch

Reader feedback from my last Comedy Newsletter: "Comedy Newsletter (August 17, 2011)"

WW! You are SELLING your house ... er....MANSION??? Why, you never told me!! (Laughing and much knee-slapping) Your ad for the sale should include some kinds of wonderful items we enjoy here in New England: 1) Patriots/Bruins/Red Sox/Celtics teams always keeps you on your toes 2) Deer/Horse flies always keep you on your toes and 3) the US Census Bureau always keeps you...well..behind a locked door! This house has that 'character' that agents love to mention when it comes time to make the sale! Good luck, WW!! Florida, you are next!!
Keep painting, WL, keep painting!

Hi WW!
Congrats on 3 years as Comedy NL Editor! I loved the NL about your creaky, creepy old house. It sounds as though it has "character," although 69 windows sounds like an awful lot... Good luck with the entries to your contest.
-- Laura
It's not that bad. I get my window cleaner at the local "Dollar" store. Now, if I would only use the stuff rather than store it, my windows would be the envy of the town.
BIG BAD WOLF is Merry 
Comedy is always a laugh.
I sure hope so. If not, I need to keep my day job--Oh, wait, that is my day job!
Thank you for your feedback, folks.  We editors really appreciate it!
~WW
