Back to the Pishy Conundrum. The random number generator has clearly picked a stuffie for Chet’s Friend of the Month. Going forward that won’t happen again. Also, please, no AI. As for now, here’s what Carole Luksa, owner – not human companion in this case – of Pishy wrote: “Hey everyone i am Pishy owner. Here’s the back story. I enter Mokey every month but he never has any luck which he can’t understand cause he thinks he’s a dog AND CAT on a hot tin woof really excited him. Right now Mokey is kicking a can down the street muttering about not winning again. So while I was sleeping Mokey look a picture of my PURSE that my daughter Laura brought me from Florida and submitted it cause they rules did not say no purses. So a Cat was Involved and said he’ll high tail it to the Hot Tin Woof and hide out. And mokey enters this contest every month for over a year never wins and Pishy entered once and won. Mokey said he’s sorry. Don’t believe it I heard him snickering. BUT Pishy is very proud.”

So therefore, the court rules, 1-0, that Pishy will remain the FOM. Carole gets a signed copy of the latest Chet and Bernie mystery. Next month this could be you – but the living breathing kind, please. Also this is a lot of fun, at least for me. Tomorrow: Bush v. Gore. And here’s Mokey, btw.
