“Lost in Puppydom: Rory Dylan Stephen’s Puppydom”: PRESIDENT ORVILLE GRUMP AND OPERATION EPIC TURKEY: KING OF THE COURT OF MIRACLES PROPPED BY HIS BAND OF TRUANDS AND WORSHIPPED BY THE WRETCHED GAPERS

PRESIDENT ORVILLE GRUMP AND OPERATION EPIC TURKEY: KING OF THE COURT OF MIRACLES PROPPED BY HIS BAND OF TRUANDS AND WORSHIPPED BY THE WRETCHED GAPERS

The Malaysians ripped open the wrapping of Operation Epic Turkey revealing a grisly rotten centre all ordered by the President of the United States, Orville Grump.

It reeked of the Ugly American for the present generation, but it was not too distant from the historical ransacking and manipulation by the good old USA whether it be Panama, the Philippines, Nicaragua or Cuba to name a few. What might have made it repulsively distinct was the central role of fentanyl manufacturing by North Korea with Kim Jong Un a brutal cutthroat who murdered his half brother marking a depravity second to none becoming the cornerstone of an American operation. And the attempt to smear China as the exporter of fentanyl to Canada for “the big smuggle” into the United States to prompt the invasion of Canada by the United States was low and filthy even by lowbrow political standards.

The reward to Grump of building a golf resort in North Korean beach resort area of the Wonsan-Kalma Coastal Tourist Area in North Korea of and having passengers on his Grump Cruise Lines, Proud Boys and “Veterans of the Sixth of January” offered exclusive access to it along with countless Russian oligarchs and their families left a most sour taste in any thinking man’s mind.

Presidents of the United States never had benefitted economically from their Presidency, but Grump and his family were raking in billions.

All supported by his inner cloister of Truands and adored by the wretched gapers, the Maggots a bit too stupid to realize their “supreme one” was swindling and double dealing them.

Being a pup, one might think human logic in the United States would swell to a degree of rationality and surge over the Maggots but Grump took credit for a “brilliant operation” that would have the Chinese on their knees in days and that would bring Canada into the saving graces of the United States. Fortunately none of the stated goals of Epic Turkey were attained and it all just rolled off Grump. It started with Horny Mavis and when would it all end? Why was everything Orville Grump did an abject failure but interpreted by him as a brilliant success.

You humans and your politics make me sick.

But….Grump was headed for a sinking on the international scene. Think of Grump as a brash and overconfident and unsinkable and the best and unstoppable but Titanic Grump had just hit the iceberg of reality and was about to sink. But that is another story to be told another time.

THE CEREMONY AWARDING RORY DYLAN STEPHEN THE SINGAPOREAN MEDAL OF VALOUR (Rory thinks Prime Minister Wong’s address may be slightly exaggerated)

Remarks of Prime Minister Wong

Good afternoon all.

We are assembled here to award the Singaporean Medal of Valour to a Canadian West Highland Terrier, Rory Dylan Stephen, abducted and drugged by an international gang of hoodlums starting at an opium den on Spadina Avenue in Toronto and brought to Singapore via North Bergen, New Jersey and Hong Kong.

From Singapore he was forcefully transported in deplorable circumstances to Bangkok, Siem Reap, Cambodia and then back to Singapore. Then most recently smuggled onto the Eastern & Oriental Express travelling through Malaysia where he languished in a humid baggage car scarcely being fed or given water. He was dragged through Georgetown, Malaysia on a narcotic transaction by a criminal Bobby Fong Jr. well known to Singaporean authorities as was his mother Madame Fong. The Fong’s masterminded Rory’s abduction for purposes which are becoming known by us of late. If they would have been successful, the world may have been plummeted into a catastrophe. A prominent Singaporean citizen, Sir Reginald Nicomshire, was murdered on the train prior to its obliteration.

Days ago, held hostage in Singapore in a swanky den of criminals after surviving the train bombing he was liberated in a dangerous and daring mission by the Singaporean Police Force where after such I personally assumed guardianship of the little guy, only 16 pounds, until picked up by Bob and Fay his master and mistress.

Rory exhibited great bravery and fortitude through his abduction and forced travels attendant to that abduction. I assure you the full extent of his bravery will be known in due course. Can you imagine Rory winning the Singaporean Westie of the Year contest under the pressure of abduction! Nerves of steel.

Rory is the sole survivor of that horrible Malaysian terrorist Amira’s planned explosion killing all 144 on board including a team of 3 Singaporean and two Malaysian investigators.

Rory has witnessed a seamy side of Singapore including extortions at Singaporean construction sites, illegal dog fights and money laundering operations at a Singaporean casino. We here at Singapore will clean up crime where we see it and reward the apprehended criminal elements with a stern caning.

Bob, would you bring Rory forward so I may place the Medal of Valour around his neck with my personal gratitude and that of the citizens of Singapore.

Rory Dylan Stephen please return to Singapore under more auspicious conditions where you, Bob and Fay are welcome to stay with me. My grandchildren advise me they look forward to your next visit.

As for members of the press who were questioning me about the American Operation Epic Turkey as I entered this ceremony I say at this time I have no comments and will not until I have conferred with my ministers and the President of the United States Orville Grump.

“Lost in Puppydom: Rory Dylan Stephen’s Puppydom”: RORY MAKES A HAPPY SPECTACLE OF HIMSELF: BOB AND FAY ARE HERE IN SINGAPORE

RORY MAKES A HAPPY SPECTACLE OF HIMSELF: BOB AND FAY ARE HERE IN SINGAPORE

I have been away from home for two months or so. The two months could have easily be two years. That’s how I feel.

Just before the dinner hour I heard a car drive up to Prime Minster’s Wong’s compound and I race to the front door which is opened by servant. Like a Havanese I go flying into Bob’s arm just before I widdle on the front steps. Puppy excitement. Blushing not required and a puddle of urine excusable given the circumstances.

Happy to be in Bob’s arm I whine and cry and tremble all over. Oh. There’s Fay and a jump up with cuddles and kisses. I bite my tail thinking I might wake up from this dream. Then I run around in circles on the front lawn.

This is all captured by a cameraman from Singapore Mediacorp and the Malaysian TV network RTM. It is later broadcast globally. A West Highland Terrier story of courage in the face of adversity and who may have saved many lives from cessation and ruination.

Bob and Fay have been invited for a cocktail before we head back to Raffles Singapore to our suite.

As we leave I head directly to Wong’s feet and give him a happy snouting. Although I feel a bit used by the Government of Singapore, he has been awfully kind to me.

As we enter Raffles Singapore my good friend Raffles the greeter and ratter for the hotel barks and gives me a jump up. I wonder if I had not met this Singaporean West Highland Terrier I would not have had the strength to carry on.

I had the best sleep of my life snuggling with Bob and Fay. Save and secure but strangely vulnerable.

RKS French Literature: The Court of Miracles in Paris (Victor Hugo)

The poor poet cast his eyes around him. He was in fact in that same Court of Miracles where no honest man has ever penetrated at such an hour – a magic circle in which the officers of the Châtelet and the sergeants of the provostry when they ventured thither, disappeared in morsels – the city of thieves – a hideous wart on the face of Paris – a sink from whence escaped every morning, and to which to stagnate every night, that stream of vice, mendicity and vagrancy which ever flows through the streets of a capital – a monstrous hive, into which all hornets of society returned each evening with their booty – a lying hospital. In which the gypsy, the unfrocked monk, the abandoned scholar – the worthless of every nation, Spaniards, Italians, Germans – of every religion, Jews, Christians, Mahometans, Idolaters- covered with painted sores, beggars in the daytime, transformed themselves at night into robbers – in short an immense cloak-room in which dressed and undressed at that period all the actors in that everlasting drama which robbery, prostitution and murder enacted on the pavements of Paris.

Victor Hugo, “The Hunchback of Notre Dame”

RKS French Literature: The Danger of Following a Pretty Woman at Night (Victor Hugo)

As a practical philosopher of the streets of Paris, Gringoire had remarked that nothing is more favourable to a state of reverie than to follow a pretty woman without knowing whither she is going. In this voluntary surrender of one’s free will – in this fancy of another, while that other is totally unconscious of it – there is a mixture of fantastic independence with blind obedience, something intermediate between slavery and freedom, which was pleasing to Gringoire, whose mind, essentially mixed, undecided and complex, held the medium between all extremes in constant suspense amongst all human propensities and neutralising one of them by another. He compared himself willingly to the tomb of Mahomet, attracted by two lodestones in opposite directions, hesitating eternally between the top and the bottom, between the roof and the pavement, between fall and ascension, between the zenith and the nadir.

“Lost in Puppydom: Rory Dylan Stephen’s Puppydom”: SO WHY DID I SURVIVE THE EASTERN & ORIENTAL EXPRESS BOMBING?

SO WHY DID I SURVIVE THE EASTERN & ORIENTAL EXPRESS BOMBING?

When all 144 passengers on the train perished why did I survive. Can puppies have survivor guilt? I’ll figure that one out later.

Taken off the train to pee by “butler” Keith 7 minutes for before “Thar she blows!”

 A fluke? Mere chance? The will of the canine gods or did Keith know best to get our asses out of that train?

Why did he take me off? He could have left me behind. QUESTIONS. QUESTIONS.

We know now Keith was a Canadian Security Information Services (CSIS) agent. He certainly wasn’t on the train for a vacation. He was on a surveillance mission. I surmise he even knew by real identity, Rory Dylan Stephen not Cuddlecakes. Why then wasn’t I rescued and returned home to Toronto earlier. And if he knew how many others knew. And if they knew once again, I was used. Used to shatter a nefarious political game known as Epic Turkey! No better than a worm on a fishing hook.

RKS French Literature: Necessity Can be So Ungracious! (Victor Hugo)

‘Tis an unpleasant thing to go without one’s dinner. ’Tis less gratifying still to go without one’s supper and not know where to sleep. Gringoire was at that point. Without food, without lodging, he found himself pressed by necessity on every hand, and he thought necessity very ungracious. He had long discovered this truth – that Jupiter created man in a fit of misanthropy, and that throughout the life of the wisest man his destiny keeps philosophy in a state of siege. For his own part, he had never found the blockade so complete. He heard his stomach sound a truce, and he thought it very unkind that his evil destiny should reduce his philosophy by simple starvation.

RKS French Literature: Esmerelda Dances (Victor Hugo)

Every look was fixed upon her, every mouth was open in the circle about her, and, indeed while she danced to the sound of the tambourine which her two round and delicate arms lifted above her head – slender, fragile, active as a wasp – with her golden girdle without a fold – her skirt of varied colours, swelling below her slender waist, giving momentary glimpses of her fine-formed legs – her round bared shoulders – her black hair and sparkling eyes – she looked something more than human.
