Schedule for 87th Crapper Festival Announced

Enema Falls Mayor, Charlie Flanigan held a press conference this morning to announce the line-up for the 87^th annual Thomas Crapper Festival. The area’s longest running festival known locally as Crapper Days will be held over the Memorial Day weekend. The festival commemorates, the inventor of the flush toilet, Thomas Crapper’s 1897 visit to Enema Falls. When asked why he travelled all the way from England to visit the small midwestern town, Crapper responded with the now famous words. “Drink it and you will blow.” Crapper felt that tonic water of Enema Falls, which he considered to be the most potent natural laxative in the world, and the toilet manufacturing industry were a match made in heaven. Crapper’s words turned out to be prophetic as Enema Falls evolved into the only town in America that completely concerns itself with the with the care, comfort, maintenance, and study of the lower digestive tract.

It turned out to be a policy which has maintained the growth of Enema Falls. As town founder, Eli Proctor, said over 100 years ago. “Everybody Poops! Crapper Days gives us the opportunity to honor the wisdom of our forefathers,” added Mayor Flanigan. “While the rest of the world is struggling to go green, We the good citizens of Enema Falls will continue to stay brown.”

                                          Tidy Bowl Man Named Grand Marshall

 Mayor Flannigan also announced that Bartholomew (Wink) Tinkle will return to Enema Falls to serve as Crapper Days Grand Marshall for the tenth consecutive year. Tinkle, who portrayed the Tidy Bowl Man from 1973 to 1979, has always been a crowd favorite. Besides crowning The Crapper Queen, Tinker will throw out the first pitch at the Brown Streaks game on Saturday. On Sunday Tinkle will take to Lake Plenticaca in the SS Flush, the boat used navigate the toilet tank in the popular Tidy Bowl commercials, and use a bazooka to shoot Crapper Days tee shirts to spectators during the fireworks extravaganza.

More Yeti Sighting in Enema Falls State Park

Scratchpatch sighting on Lake Plenticaca

Enema Falls Game Warden, Bucky Kemp reported that he received two more sightings of a large ape-like creature two miles north of Lake Plenticaca near Hubbard’s Cove. According to Kemp, both parties described the creature as being eight feet tall covered in long brown fur and smelling like a backed a up toilet. The creature didn’t appear to be aggressive but both witnesses didn’t stay around long enough to give it a chance. These new encounters bring the total number of sightings of the creature locally known as "Scratchpatch" to sixteen. Even though the creature doesn’t seem to be dangerous, Kemp recommends that hikers and campers keep their distance if they encounter Scratchpatch.

Elephants Trample Night Crawlers at Worm Ranch

The Enema Falls Police Department was called to Dewy Long’s Worm Ranch after an elephant reportedly broke into the facility and trampled approximately 100,000 worms to death. The elephant known as Big Eli, had apparently escaped from his pen at the Big Droppings Manure Company sometime after midnight. According to Dewy Long this is the third time that Big Eli has stampeded through the worm ranch since he started selling worm dropping fertilizer. “It seems funny Web Berger’s elephant started taking midnight strolls thirty days after I got into the worm poop business.” Big Droppings owner, Web Berger couldn’t be reached for comment. The police investigation is ongoing.

"We live in a busy world," Horvath stated, "It only makes sense to take care of two necessary functions at the same time. We find that the human colon works better when cleansed every three months, just as the automobile requires an oil change in the same amount of time. It's a match made in heaven." Customers will be offered a wide variety of herbal based cleanings and all name brands of motor oil. The business will be located at 608 Upper Colonic Drive.
