« Beer ain't getting cheaper | Main | Is Homer really dead? »
Until now, we at Midnight Sun have held onto a no-tolerance policy for terrorism.
We would not negotiate with the kidnappers of our beloved Homer. But time has passed and our rescue efforts have been to no avail. Today at noon, I will deposit $10 in small, unmarked bills, at the coffee shop across the street from The Sun.
I will wait precisely 24 hours before returning to collect Homer. Bad Guyz, if you're reading this (and you'd better be), make good on your offer.

It's a trap! When you go to take the bad guyz the money ... they are going to kidnap Marge and the kids!

I thought you dropped the money off April 27th...or at least you said you would in your April 26th blog post.

K, it takes a while to come up with that kind of money -- especially for a fledgling journalist.
Homer's Ghost, I dunno what to do now. I mean, I just realized people have been stealing the other members of the Simpsons family. I gotta sort this one out.

Sam,
"K, it takes a while to come up with that kind of money -- especially for a fledgling journalist."
Can we assume The Sun is paying all the expenses associated with your clubbing and bar hopping research?

GDA, to a certain extent, yes. But it's not like the Sun bankrolls a binge. They usually pay for one drink and the cover charge.
