Dinner at the Gatsby's

Due to the massive amounts of email requests, we decided that we should "officially" open up Robinsby Acres to tourists.  We figured we were being selfish keeping all this beautiful land to ourselves... especially since your generous monetary contributions helped to fund it!

There was however ALOT of work to be done.  Somehow we had to turn this piece of nuclear wasteland into a sustainable farm that is capable of feeding the massive influx of needy people who happen to pass by.

Using all my good ole American know-how (which basically involves tightening and loosening screws) I knew this was a lost cause as the growing season was quickly approaching.  So I hired a friend...

... a man with vision... a man that is well versed in "motivating" the workers and military strategy... I give you Germany's own Von Schlieffen!  He came cheap for we found him wandering the streets with a sign that read "will work for beer".  Apparently, since his infamous plan failed in World War 1, he involved himself in several other ideas that nosedived soon after they started (Betamax, XFL, George W. Bush, etc.).  He was also responsible to convincing the Fox network to air the television series Firefly out of order before it was cancelled.. bastards!  Anyways, Von Schlieffen can be seen here earning his beer by supervising his mistress as she tilled out fields.

Success!  Thanks to the nuclear waste that is buried under the garden, the produce arrived the day after we planted it.  The guests (seen dining) seemed to be very pleased at the quality of the harvest.

We laughed, we cried...

Our first international visitors from Trinidad and Mexico.

Our Chief of Security (Branson P. Daug) decided it would be fun to play a game of "find the turd".  I won... or lost depending on how you view it.

We then retired for the evening while Von Schlieffen cleaned up.  All in all a great day:)

Friendly Visitors

Well we were awakened this morning by what I thought to be rats trying to steal our produce, but it turned out to be a few Smurfs.  I was still in a half dream state and at first thought we were being invaded by little blue demons straight from the bowels of Hell.  I was terribly frightened and was about to take drastic measures, but the Grandpa Smurf must have cast a charm spell on us as we quickly realized they were visiting from Germany.  It turns out they are HUGE fans of our blog and was checking out Robinsby Acres as a possible tourist destination.  Grandpa and I negotiated a very nice vacation package which is all inclusive.  Do Smurfs have a high alcohol tolerance?  I mean there is no way they can drink more than a thimble full of spirits... or can they?  Did I have the wool pulled over my eyes?  Dooohhhh!

I asked Grandpa Smurf about the upcoming Smurf movie and questioned why he would consider a project that was sure to bomb at the box office.  It turns out that things aren't so peachy in the Smurf village.  Gargamel had a heart attack and collapsed in the village centre; destroying 2/3 of the standing structures, and killing 17.  The deceased include Jokey, Brainy, and Vanity... however as they were the most annoying on the cartoon show, they won't be missed.  In fact grandpa said they seen as abominations of the Smurf community, and would thus not be buried in the regular graveyard.  Anyways Hollywood offered lots of $$$ which will be used to repair the damage caused by Gargamel, so that's why there will be a movie coming out this summer.  I won't be going to see it, so it won't be reviewed on this blog by me.
