Put back the original tree monument, I say. We can make it a giant ring toss, using the monster truck tires that would otherwise be litering our streets after the water canons have been deployed. We could launch them from the second floor of the fort using a cheaply constructed monster tire catapult. Public executions of locals that bug me would also be a great tourist draw. I've already put together a short list. We could do it just before the tree lighting ceremony every year.frankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05764425184381002578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1231191490041975410.post-18214781104272387822009-09-15T07:38:13.231-07:002009-09-15T07:38:13.231-07:00Dear F and C,

In the summer the water cannons will help cool off the tourists and in the winter we can use them to create giant ice sheets around the fort so we can watch in glee as they spin their two wheel drive monster trucks out of control. <br /><br />We locals could then use them year round as a sort of drive by car wash as well.

If they are invading flatlanders, I agree gun turrets are appropiate.

If you're the muckety-mucks you claim to be, why did you let the town square be converted into that Roy Rogers reject Frontierland Fort. There's not even gun turrets! So what the hell are we supposed to do in the event of a siege! Have Colon pepper the invading flatlanders with bad jokes?

The group of desicion makers that I'm talking about is so important and elite that we don't even have a letter before our list rating . We're the ones that gave Becky permission to retire in the first place. We've been running the towncrier for years . In fact ithe newspaper was my idea . Conor is the one that told Vic Sirkin to lose weight and I'm the one that would'nt let the ICRC spell it's title phonetically "the EYE SEA ARE SEE ?" Are you kidding me ? come on ! <br />Idyllwild has been beautiful place to watch my children grow up.

Advertisers would be knocking down the door to get in on this wonderful, new regime. The TC would see real profit. Unlike the last 10,000 words of the TC press release. A much needed fresh approach that would have the full support of the town.

Like the Vietnam war or under cooked beans, the repercussions of Becky Clarks retirement may not be felt for sometime. I for one , will miss her and I know many others like me and others that want to be like me and still others that actually want to be me , will also miss her "Bite Me" biting wit every week. Perhaps, editor Clark's resignation , like the Holocaust or man's walk on the moon is just a ploy set up to mislead the american public and sell more Town Criers.frankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05764425184381002578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1231191490041975410.post-40751578048181826092009-09-12T07:25:31.490-07:002009-09-12T07:25:31.490-07:00Conor, you're right!
