Heckler hounded by streetwalker, read all about it

(The following press release was dispatched to the editorial offices of The Alexandria Echo Press by publicity hound Tom Obert, the son of John Obert, who used to run the place. We shall see how much weight that carries when and if Tom's item runs. Obert has also submitted information to the paper concerning the completion of his recent Walk-a-thon, which supposedly involved power-walking every street in Alexandria. We imagine the EchoPress headline might read, "Alexandria Streetwalker a Member of the Class of 1965." Anything to publicize our reunion, right Tom? ---- Trailboss. 12:15 Wednesday)

Obert rebuts -- 12:18 Wednesday
Publicity hound? I'll have you know we retired to a life of solitude in a small Midwestern town. On the other hand, if the Heckler doesn't give our story at least 6 columns on the front page, we're going to be upset! We completed the Alex walk this morning at Noonan Park, appropriately enough. This afternoon we are having a champagne celebration and have invited CNN, ESPN Classic, and Comedy Central to provide full coverage. FOX was also invited but didn't think the story was weird enough (maybe if we had walked with towels over our heads?).
