The world is safer with the elusive Wo Fat gone 35 years. The Station House salutes island crimefighters Lt. Cmdr. Steve McGarrett, Det. Sgt. Danny 'Danno' Williams, Det. Lt. Chin Ho Kelly & Officer Kono Kalakaua for bringing the "fat man" to his knees. Righto, Five-O! #satire

On this sun-dappled Fall Sunday, the station house salutes our terrestrial police counterparts far and wide. Theirs is evidence of nobility in mobility. Bravo, Civilian-Servicing Cyclists.

Random Memorandum: Be advised that Internet policing extends well beyond the birthday shoutouts and deathday salutings of late. All citizen postings on this timeline are under unsparing inspection by the Station House. Make a bloody note of it. #satire #humour

On behalf of Winnipeg the Bear, Piglet, Owl, Eeyore, Tigger and young Master Christopher Robin, the station house extends an overdue doff of the helmet to Messrs. A.A. Milne (writer) and Ernest H. Shepard (illustrator), gentle Citizen Woodsmen for the ages. Oh bother, indeed! #satire #winnie

Televangelizing and Covid supplementeering for all eternity, one supposes. Jim (dec. 5 October 2026) and Tammy Faye Bakker (dec. 20 July 2007) together again. RIP, Citizens of the Synthetic Cloth.

As I Underhand It®, Tom Cruise has stepped into the large shoes of Notre Dame basketball's Richard "Digger" Phelps. This evening our IP team will screen a police-issued advance of “Digger.” A Fighting Irishman with dentured grit, patterned sportswear, and hair-tossled authority? We can dig it!

A doff of the battered stovepipe hat to Lancashire's Jack Wild on this day. His rogue, sartorial flair in the film Oliver! arguably inspired the Dickensian steampunk aesthetic still alive today. The station house salutes the original, pint-sized Wild One.

A doff of the helmet to all Citizen Sunny Boys on this International Suns—or possibly Sons Day—including the original poster boys—sandy-haired twins Thom & Von Scarsdale—not to mention our own prized progeny, son Tennyson and grandson Wadsworth. Boys will be boys and thank goodness for that.

If Memory Swerves®, ’twas on this day 26 September 1969 that widowed architect Mike Brady submitted to divorced homemaker Carol Martin’s relentless demands to “put a ring on it,” lest the friendly benefits they enjoyed promptly cease. That's the way they all became the bloody Brady Bunch.

Two years after KitKat® unwittingly entered the stateside political fray, the city of Springfield, Ohio continues to celebrate their love of the crisp, layered confection, party lines be damned. Bravo, Citizen Chocolatiers!

A birthday shoutout to America's favourite Boss: Bruce Frederick Joseph Springsteen, born 77 years ago this day, 23 September 1949. Here's to glory days past, present and future, Citizen!

Whilst Celebrity Realtor Derwood Trumpeteer takes America back in time with his quasi state-run telly channel, 'tis worth remembering that England broke its own state monopoly when #ITV launched 71 years ago today. Alrighty, Almighty Blighty!

The station house has only just learned that yesterday was designated "Wife Appreciation Day." Yours Truly Dooley wonders if 'tis against protocol to show our gratitude a day late with one of these double-handled ceramic mug thingies (pictured). #WifeAppreciationDay #Satire

Paisley-drenched American ex-pat Jimi Hendrix died 56 years ago today in the Notting Hill district of West London. The lefty gunslinger joined the pantheon of musical deities at just 27 years of age. We trust the oft-lone-monikered Hendrix is rocking in peace with his mates.

This sanctimonious meatball has been off the radar for a spell, but 'tis a slow news day on our watch. Yours Truly Dooley® has never set foot in the land o' palms and psalms, but we're partial to what Master Ron is plating here, so Happy Day, Citizen Floridian, and pass the Parmesano!

The Station House salutes Celebrity Realtor Derwood Trumpeteer, whose patrols of DC's cobbled streets—aboard a vintage, foot-to-pedal-powered Huffy cruiser with modified, high-rise handlebars—remain a masterclass in silent vigilance and stealth McDonaldland runs. Bravo, Citizen Kommandant.

The station salutes a giant among men: TED Cassidy. We remember when the towering harpsichordist served as butler to Gomez Addams. Today, he and his stage stalkers lurch into endless takes of positivity, mindfulness, and Radical Careering. Bravo Citizen Undead Orator™!
