Ralph is missing in action on the OG Pier.

By William Heatley of Ocean Grove.

Any idea what happened to RALPH?

(Rebuilding A Long Pier of Hope ™)

Just when the boardwalk rebuilding is in full swing, someone threw RALPH, Stumpy and the American Flag in the ocean. This occurred sometime under the cover of darkness  the evening of Mother’s Day, May 11.   So, no… Down the shore everything is NOT all right.

The town was so enveloped  in a tacky pink fog,  no one really noticed RALPH was missing. One  wonderful soul fished Ralph’s head along with the American Flag out of the ocean and brought the soggy mess into the Camp Meeting Office.

Ralph’s owner was notified and she reports that unlike Humpty Dumpty, “Ralph can be put back together again.”

Hopefully RALPH will be back on what’s left of the pier before Governor Christie arrives on Tuesday. Great photo OP for them both.  Rumor is RALPH is being vetted as possible running mate in 2016 Presidential Election.

Any info on what happened to Ralph? Please report it to Neptune Police.

Editor’s Note:  Rich Amole, Blogfinger staff reporter, also weighed in on the Ralph news.  He said, ” Presumed to be lost at sea but maybe he has had his fill of photo after photo after photo. Tourist won’t give him a minutes peace.

“Maybe he and his gull buddy jumped down on a piece of passing driftwood during the storm Friday and are now on their way to Bermuda.”

Thanks, Rich.
