News

• The nsburg marathon is this weekend and will be closing some roads.
• The steeplechase is returning to the marathon despite a voluntary court mandate.
• nsburg search-and-rescue is in it's fourth day searching for eight missing people in the Bumper Crop farms corn maze. Thirteen search-and-rescue volunteers have also since gone missing.

Traffic

Richter Hammockslam, meant to be helping the search-and-rescue efforts over Bumper Crop farms, has self-imposed a No Fly Zone over the corn maze and actually reports the traffic which is flowing smoothly. Girl Scouts helping an old lady cross the street is causing a backup on Fourth.

Sports

Sideball has started back up! Last year the nsburg High Literal Tigers came 5th in the Sideball Grinder. The December Grinder schedule for the Literal Tigers is:

• December 2nd: Home game at nsburg high
• December 6th: The Chuffield Topes
• December 9th: The Lesser Miami Buccaneers
• December 17th: The Heathston Mole Rats
• December 20th: The Jewelsburg Minors

Last year the Literal Tigers tried a triple-hammy but this year Coach McFeels will be focusing more on the north wall.

Notable players on the Literal Tigers:

• Johann O'Flaerty: A 14 year old with a thyroid problem which has caused substantial growth.
• Melody Yum: Last year's breakout star is returning as punter, nevermind that she was in the burn unit earlier this year.
• A lifelike replica of Salty Dahl, first turnstyle player, will be on second turnstyle.

Derek live on location

Derek interviews Richard Therpston: Therpston county aldersm'n and founder of Therpston county. While running to meet up with Richard Therpston, Derek chokes on some toast and somehow manages to score a date.

Later, while already in the cafe on fourth, Derek is accidentally on time to his interview with Richard Therpston. During the interview Mr. Therpston expresses his hopes for minimal steeplechase casualties this year and announces a new sports scholarship for youth in Therpston county. While explaining to Derek how and why he helped found Therpston county he drops dead into his muffins. Derek, upon realizing Mr. Therpston is dead and not just asleep, becomes worried that he is now haunted.

Coming up

• More information on the death of Richard Therpston.
• A quarter-hour of hilarious pranks as QWRPline teams up with Jimmy Jams Afternoon Jams and the Prank Patrol.
• Mirtho the Clown, live in the studio, promises to take us to Smileville.
