There we were on a Thursday night, playing around Jon's new sign by the newsdesk table, and up popped Fobes. The guy had the night off, but when food and a coat mysteriously showed up in front of his sign, there he was coming out of the bottle of something from Sea World to bark at us. Happiness is a uncluttered table.

You never know what you'll find cruising over the Newsdesk at night. Just the other day, Jon Fobes spotted this very ripe packet of mayo looking to burst on the scene. Ever the chef, Jon tried to see if someone wanted some with their dinner. Alas, he was rejected and dejectedly contributed it to Ron on his nightly visit.

That's Timmy, age three, in Wichita, Kansas in 1957. Now, 49 years later, he's still wearing the same cycling outfit. Sad isn't it?

NEWSDESK ACTION FIGURES

The evening stroll around the newsdesk for Mulder and Scully started out innocent enough, but by the time they got home they were in a Funk. Luckily, Obi Wan was there with his light sabre to send the Funk packing.

Emily, copy editor, designer and now reporter on loan to the city desk (we hope), was one happy woman on her wedding day. Emmet looks like he's a happy dude as well.
