Two Years Ago …

Hello friends and fans. This is The Daily Bone and I'm your reliable doggie reporter 

Chester L. W. Spaniel.

It has been two years since The Daily Bone was first presented as an official doggie blog. To celebrate, this month we're going to show you some of our earliest posts. Yesterday, we were on the subject of Ironing Board Man, who happens to be my favorite super hero. So here is my post from two years ago featuring Ironing Board Man.

No Ironing Board Man?

Hi everybody and welcome to The Daily Bone. I'm your doggie host Chester L. W. Spaniel.

My humans have told me that there is no Ironing Board Man. It's supposed to be Iron Man, and he's a snarky guy in an iron suit who flies around fighting evil. There's a computer thingy inside the suit too, and it tells him all kinds of pertinent information, like his fuel status, the proximity of his foes, and probably if his underwear needs changing. That all sounds kind of crowded and stinky to  me. Kind of like barking in a bucket and then having to smell your own dog breath.

But, you know what? I really like the idea of Ironing Board Man. I mean, imagine how much damage can be done to a villain if a rickety ironing board collapses on top of him, then the hot iron hits him in the head, and he gets buried in wrinkled laundry. That sounds pretty devastating to me! I usually stay far away from the ironing board for just that reason. My crime fighting partner Joseph (Joey dog) Spaniel agrees whole-heartedly. The ironing board is one of the most scary things in the house! We're glad it spends most of its time folded up in the laundry room. When one of our humans gets it out and unfolds it, it makes such a horrible clattering sound. Be afraid Evil Squirrel Cartel. Be very afraid. Ironing Board Man is going to flatten all of your twitchy, bushy tails. Bwahahahahah!

Well, anyway, the point of superheroes is to pretend. With all the terrible things happening in the world today, it's nice to think someone with super powers is going to is going to help us out of our worst predicaments. There is no rule anywhere that says I can't make up my own super hero. So therefore, I'm going to write a fan letter to Ironing Board Man, just as soon as I  figure out how to open this envelope. And that's a memo.
