2020 Spurious New Years Eve Wrap Up
As we end the year you all are wondering, “Whatever happened to Penelope and her brother Walter?” At the end of 1832 Penelope Just resolved to read the entire Bible in the new year. Then in a stunning turn of events Walter began reading his bible and was determined to race ahead and finish by November. Well Walter did not factor in Summer time and his love of noodling catfish.
And so our intrepid sports reporter, Hammond Headley, reports Penelope handily finished reading Revelation 22:21 on December 31, 1833.Unfortunately, Walter only made it to Obadiah 1:3.

A Spurious Nib 2020 Christmas
Once again it’s that time of year when the entire staff at The Spurious Nib wishes you and Yours a Merry Christmas!
Santa’s fifth favorite joke, “What’s the difference between the Christmas alphabet and the ordinary alphabet? The Christmas alphabet has No-el.es”
When Roscoe Tobias Belcher was twelve his little sister, Apolonia was sick during the Christmas season. Seeing as Roscoe senior was keeping the “lawmen” company over the Christmas holiday the youngster took it upon himself to bolster Apolonia’s spirit. The young Belcher boy decided to dawn the garb of St. Nicholas and visit his sister’s bedside. It worked! Christmas Day saw the little girl regain her strength.
And so it is this Christmas that we hope you will be like young Roscoe for some dispirited person, Be a Belcher!
In 1923 Ivan Kranveski, self-proclaimed Soviet historian claimed that Santa did not have elf workers. No! Communist Santa had Coneys that made the toys. And for the next seventy years Soviet children dressed as Coneys each holiday season to celebrate the freed workers because of the generosity of Mother Russia’s kind Coneys!
Even Santa will not give into an irrational fear of Covid-19!

If it were not for The Ghost Of Good Grammar visiting Charlie Dickens on Christmas Eve 1822,
we might never have had the pleasure of reading such classics as, Oliver Twist, Nicholas Nickleby, A Tale of Two Cities, Great Expectations, or A Christmas Carol!!
