Stepping quietly and carefully, so as not to disturb the ghosts of journals past, we proceed deeper into the graveyard, pulling our collars up against the chill wind that blows through this forsaken barren wasteland. The moon slides out from behind a thick bank of cloud, staring down at us like a pearl eye before being once again obscured by the darkness, and it's as if she has winked at us. We don't quite get the joke, but off in the distance an owl does as it hoots in the gloom.

Our boots crunching on gravel, we eventaully reach our destination, and going down on one knee, one arm resting on that knee, the other shining a torch upon the tombstone, splashing pale light across the stone like a spectral hand, we bow our head and look at

This journal never got going, and the name of its would-be author is perhaps appropriate, even ironic, given where we are and what has become of this effort.

Graveyard Ranking: The stone cross is chipped and broken, and any flowers that ever were here are long rotted away into the soil. Clearly nobody visits, nobody cares. Sad.

Well, that was a whole bundle of laughs, wasn't it, Smithers? See if you can inject some levity into proceedings before we go. I know: get drunk and stagger around for my amusement.

I have a better idea Sir.

Oh yes! Yes indeed! Do that! Now what was I laughing at again? Oh yes: that crippled Irishman! No, no! It was you, Smithers, dressed as a (choke) cowboy!

Ahem, yes. Well, be that as it may, Sir....

Waylon Smithers

Well howdy there par – Sir, could you please stop laughing? It's really putting me off. Thank you. Ahem. Howdy to you fella and ladies again. Whiplash Waylon (Please, Mr. Burns!) here again with mah own personal picks of the good, the bad and ... well not the ugly, but, you know...
Not too many young 'uns these days, but ah do declare ah find

to be pretty darn tootin' fine! Definitely worthy moseyin' over fer a looksee.
As for the, uh, Old Hands...
Ah always enjoyed Mister Sidewinder's lists, even though if'n ah were to see a (Sir, please!) sidewinder ah'd likely as not pop the varmint with mah six-shooter! But this was a heck of a good journal, so much so that it got copied, and well indeed, by Goofle. This was the original though, and in mah humble opinion, the best.

Sir, I really think we should. No, I know, but he's not here and ...
Oh very well. I suppose there's some merit it what you say. Normally Trollheart is too reserved and humble to talk much about his own journals, but as he's not here Smithers and I believe he deserves to be included in this section he created:

After an absence of almost two years, let's hear it for the return of

With so many journals to handle, it's somewhat beyond me why he wants to bring back one of his older ones, but then, I suppose the doctors will discover that when .. what? He asked us not to? Ah. I see. Well, anyway, it's back so take it for what it is.

That's it. This update is over. Get off my property!
Smithers, you know what to do...

No! Not THAT! Urghh! Get OFF me, man! Why would you think I would want you to ....
