better known as PShooter. I think I had one of them when I was a kid.

Give me a break. Read it, it's definitely Bobo.

Hmmm...Shooter, as in shooting from the hip, or shooting one's mouth off. 

Everytime I see Paul Shooter, I'll then know it's code for another Bobo rant.

FUNNY HOW PAUL SHOOTER AND BOB SLAGER'S WRITING STYLES ARE EXACTLY ALIKE

SLAGER IS EDITING AS WE WRITE

Ham,
Maybe you can work Mr. Shooter into the comics???? PLEASE??

DISCLAIMER: The above posting is not meant to condone or promote violence in any way, it is just a joke to poke fun at the fact that Bobo's new correspondent, Paul Shooter, shares the same name as a popular action film, and therefore the awesomeness of his super cool comic bookish name will no doubt strike fear in the hearts of power elite bastards everywhere.

Bobo really works himself too hard.  He should take off next Tuesday night and let Mr. Shooter cover the selectmen's meeting.

For what it's worth, Yahoo People Search shows nobody named "Paul Shooter" in the state of MA.  Whitepages.com shows 5 with that name nationwide, in Michigan, Florida, and Texas.  Zabasearch.com has no record of a "Paul Shooter" in MA, and the same results as whitepages.com nation-wide.  Pipl.com didn't have anything worthwhile either.  This is all very fishy

I was just wondering, Mr. Shooter, in his coverage, describes Bobo being questioned by Urbon, and Urbon, in his coverage, does mention questioning Bobo in his story, but I wonder why Urbon never mentioned seeing the world reknowned Paul Shooter, who I would think would have been observing the scene since he reported on it?

I wonder if he is any relation to Paul Coyle.

No DB, Bobo would never do something as crazy as name reporters after advertisers.  Just ask his other new reporter, Steve Anchorliquor.

I think that Mr Shooter will be a great addition to the local media and we should all throw a celebration to welcome him to the community and to wish him well in his efforts to fight the evil power elite.  I, for one, am looking forward to reading Mr. Shooter's stories, and I am sure Mr Shooter would jump at the chance to be the guest of honor at such a celebration, because as a reporter that is new to covering Wareham, he will no doubt be interested in meeting residents that he can talk to and discuss the great many issues that affect our town, as this will help him with his coverage.

Thank you Dan (on your other post) I think that you taking the time to talk Mr. Shooter on the phone and fill him in on Wareham's history will enrich his stories. 

In fact, I ask that all citizens of Wareham make an effort to take some time from your busy schedules and welcome Mr. Shooter to the community.  Starting a new beat is tough for a reporter, and I am sure Mr. Shooter would appreciate listening to all of your insights.  Perhaps any clubs or civic organizations could invite Mr. Shooter to their upcoming meetings, maybe even invite Mr. Shooter to introduce himself and say a few words. 

Maybe even a group of residents could get together and offer to take Mr. Shooter for lunch at the Cranberry Cottage, followed by a guided tour for Mr. Shooter of Wareham's local landmarks.  Efforts like this will show Mr. Shooter that this is a wonderful and friendly community and what luck he has to be covering it.

I'm glad of the new information, Larry.
I spoke to Jello this morning. I did not know that the bar opens at 6 a.m. on Saturday, and she arrives to work at 5:30 a.m. to open, prepare the popcorn and lay out the peanuts in large bowls.
Unfortunately, I didn't arrive until after 9:30 a.m., and she had already consumed three Long Island Iced Teas.
I did find out that Paul is an "intern/cub reporter "for some guy in "some shithole up North".
I asked what an intern/cub reporter was exactly.
She said that he was learning the business. He tried to be a reporter earlier in life, but, was unfortunately illiterate and the papers wouldn't hire him. So, according to Jello, he learned to read and write "real good", and is now learning the trade from someone who has taken him under his wing.
"He gets fee rent and board in some room somewhere. He doesn't get to eat a lot of things,mostly some fish dish called locks, and lots of cheeses."
He also gets a lot of hand me down clothes because he had moved from the South.
"He got him a new jacket, although it was stained with some crap on it, and he even got two sweaters and a pair of old boots. He said they don't fit, so I just told him to stuff the toes with newspapers...worked good enough for our Pa, works good enough for that little useless piece of crap."
I knew I wasn't going to get any other "real" information out of her, so I asked if she had a phone number for Paul so I could call him.
She said she left it at home in the mobile home park behind the bar. She promised she would bring it in tomorrow.
Two things: 1) I hope she remembers  2) I especially hope she remembers that her bar opens tomorrow at Noon. If she goes in early, it may be quite awhile before I get his number.
Maybe someone else can work on getting his phone number. Maybe Larry can invite Paul to his clam bake, and get to know him.
I agree with Ham...you ought to welcome him to Town.
His sister is a nice lady, basically. When she is sober.
I'll keep working on it and report when I find anything.

Thank you Larry and Dan for your reports. 

I've also been trying to confirm rumors of whether Paul Shooter is in fact the third cousin twice removed of Shooter McGavin of Happy Gilmore fame:

Hey commonsense:

That's the town of HOLDEN, in the very old joke. You will find Holding, however, in the maps produce by BOBOpedia. It is a few miles west of the Town of REDDING, which the BOBOmeister listed as a prior place of employment for a new hire. Perhaps he was listening to Otis Redding while Sittin' by the Dock of Bay. For Sure, the obfuscater will never Try a Little Tenderness.

Whatever happened to that new employee?

I missed this, what, is Paul Shooter from Redding?  I thought he grew up in Florida with his sister Jello.

The silent treatment, eh?  You drive a hard bargain, Shooter.  Call your agent and set up a meeting, we're prepared to offer you QUADRUPLE the bagels that the Ragman is paying you now so that we can have your journalistic prowess on this site.

Alright, let's not be too hasty, people.  I watched an amazing documentary about the life of Paul Shooter on Cinemax lst night.  Here is a preview for it:



I advise you to all watch this documentary about the life and times of Wareham's new Special Corresondent, Paul Shooter.  I saw it on Cinemax, but you might also catch it on  the STARZ: Action! channel.

Apparently, Mr. Shooter retired to Alaska to give up his life of being a Shooter, but was recruited by Federal Agents to use his Shooting skills to protect a national politician.  However, unbeknownst to Shooter, the agents were corrupt and they conspired with an evil businessman to assasinate the politician using an Evil Shooter, then frame the Good Shooter, Paul Shooter, by setting him up to take the fall.

The documentary then followed Paul Shooter, the Good Shooter, as he went through a series of obstacles to clear his good name and prove that it was not he, but a Bad Shooter who in fact did the Shooting.

I am just amazed that someone with Mr. Shooter's intriguing background would be interested in moving to a small town to report for a small poorly edited newspaper.

I am surprised that someone with his intellect, who became a master Shooter, doesn't have better writing skills and spells like a third grader, but oh well, we can overlook that given all that he has been through.

Maybe he's just reporting for Bobo until he can earn enough money to move back to his quiet life in Alaska

Apparently, PShooter got married, Congrats!!! Maybe, the funky bunch can cover Wareham news while you're on your honeymoon. Since president, publisher, editor and reporter, Bobo is on vacation.

AHHH!!!!

Alright, Alright, too much Savage Joe, I cry foul sir...that's disturbing.

I attempted to see Jello at the bar yesterday, but she wasn't in.
My wife and I were relaxing at the Gulf when clouds started building and it was time to go. On the way home, I stopped at the bar, much to the chagrin of my wife.
"I hate this place. What the hell are you doing?" She asked.
I told her I had to go in to speak with Jello.
"I can't stand that woman. You never go in there unless you are chasing criminals. Why would you go in there on a Sunday?"
I explained I had an obligation to all of the folks on the site to report on her brother.
I walked in while my wife sat in the car with the doors locked and her holding her .357 in her right hand next to the passenger door, low enough not to be seen, but easy to swing up.(Yes, she does have a permit to carry....and yes she will shoot if necessary).
There were two people in the place. It was about 2 p.m.
Some young man was behind the bar that I did not recognize. I asked if Jello was in and he said "No...she put one on last night and I don't think we'll see her until tomorrow."
I thanked him and asked him what his name was.
"Paul."
Hmmm.
I went to the bar this am about 7. Jello was behind the bar and obviously had been partaking of drink already.
She nursed her Long Island Iced Tea and admitted she had forgotten to bring her brother Paul's phone number with her as promised.
I asked if she was feeling alright. She said,"Yeah, I'm just having some hair of the dog. I don't feel like hanging with you today either."
I said that I would come back some other day when she was feeling better, but perhaps she could tell me something about her family. Where they were from, who they were, etc.
I couldn't get much but I did learn some things.
Her maternal grandparents were the Mehoffs', John and Gertrude, known by all as Jack and Get.
"Paul couldn't pronounce Gertrude so he actually nicknamed my grandma as Get."
The Mehoffs' were dairy farmers in Wisconsin and also known for their cheeses.
"Their most famous cheese, made them a ton of money, was called "Jack Mehoff"s Famous Fresh Cheese".
Jello's  mom actually married twice. Her first husband was Richard Teaser.
"Dick took off right after I was borned. Then mom married Mr. Shooter."
At this point, Jello was too drunk and abrasive and downright nasty to continue to interview. She admitted that the family did live in Oklahoma for awhile, but "big trouble" took place and they had to get out. She refused to elaborate, and absolutely refused to give me the full name of her "step" father, Mr. Shooter.
I asked her if the young man behind the bar yesterday, Paul, was her brother.
If looks could kill I'd be dead.
"Get the hell out of here, sombich" she screamed.
I left.
Hope some of the rest of you have had better luck finding out more about Paul Shooter.
Someone wrote me and said that Paul Shooter is actually a pen name for a young cub reporter in Wareham and that Paul Shooter doesn't exist.
He doesn't?
So, who is Jello's brother?

I have it on good authority that Paul Shooter is the pen name for a young local journalist who Mr. Slager has taken under his wing to guide him in the mysterious ways of journalism. Mr. Miyagi Slager will teach him the "wax on wax off" ways he has learned through the years. I would also like to mention he apparently is familiar with all the players and "disgusted" with current events.

Perhaps he could sit down with all the parties, or just do one on one interviews with the people involved. As a journalist, I would think it is a wise thing to get the entire story and to listen to both sides. I know I look forward to speaking with him. Let's all see what we can do to help him along his path to great journalism!

Well, I assume then Dr Rabinovich, the school committee, the ACLU, Sweet Brucey, all those people talked to some young man then, not necessarily Paul Shooter.  Yeah, right.

Bobo, I really thought you'd be able to come up with something better than that. I thought we were going to see BREAKING NEWS: Paul Shooter runs off to join the Foreign Legion!  Shooter says he enjoyed his time here in Wareham, but he wants to go off and see the world!

Bobo, you might want to rethink your cover story, because even this shames your paper. 

OK, let me explain it for you Bobo in simple terms so you'll understand.  Newspapers don't have pen names.  Newspapers have real paper who go out and report real stories, they are real people who use their real names and talk to real people in the real community, and more importantly, they stand by the words that they write.

Fictional books have pen names, because the authors don't have to stand by their words.  Sometimes authors write fictional books that are so controversial, that they use a pen name, and that's ok, because it is just make believe.  But newspapers usually expect that if a person wants to get out there in the journalism industry, they use their own name and take the world on.

Oh wait, your paper is fiction so that makes sense that pen names are allowed.

BULLSHIT, I SAY!

(Bobo, really, I'm dissapointed, I thought you could come up with a better excuse than that.)

Dan,
I had 20 or 30 of her cousins sitting in my fridge last month before a party. They didn't say much, but they were colorful and powerful.

The stories I could tell you about jello shooters :)  Ahh, to be young and senseless once again!

I once dated Jello Shooter. It was a shaky affair. Alas, try as I might to hold her, she slipped through my fingers.

Larry, I looked into it.  That wasn't a training session.  Shooter was just lashing out at his boss because he found out that he will only be paid in bagels and light bulbs.

BREAKING NEWS:  Paul Shooter is the second cousin of Chuck Norris!

Which explains why Paul Shooter is such a bad ass.

BREAKING NEWS:  Discovery Channel forced to cancel "Shark Week" because Paul Shooter went for a swim and all the sharks swam away in fear.

That makes sense.  Because Paul Shooter's superior reporting skills make him as solid as a rock.
