Topic: A Tour of Where I Live | |
---|---|
Well hello, there!
As we take our little tour of what we laughingly refer to as "The Friendly City", I would like to remind everyone to keep their hands and feet inside the bus at all times, and please to not feed the animals any beer. Trust me, they'll follow you home. Now, if you'll look to your left, you'll notice this towns only claim to fame, which is based on a dime store. That's it. There's no joke. A dime store is the towns major employer. If you care to look to your right, the first thing you'll notice is trees. Many, many wonderful trees. If you look closely enough, you'll also notice several people in camo with rifles. These are indiginous to this area, and shouldn't cause you any trouble unless you shout out the words "Dale", "Pick-Up", or the aforementioned "Beer". As we move along in what is quickly becoming a very depressing tour, you'll also notice the lack of stop lights. That's because the dead center of this town is a four way stop. That's right...Downtown has four stop signs...not that anyone ever uses them, seeing as most seem to have gotten their drivers licenses by sending in box-tops from grits. You'll also notice the incredible amount of traffic. How this is possible is beyond me, but NASA gave up studying it long ago, simply saying "Huh...weird." Where anyone could possibly be going to in this town was a mystery that was featured in a 1987 episode of Unsolved Mysteries, and only one person called in to say that they were going for more beer, since it's a dry county. Another thing you'll notice is the vast amount of churches. Given the ratio of churches to population, then each church must have a congregation of less than a single person, which might get messy. Again, I have no idea how this is accomplished, but then again, it's a church...so anything is possible. Next come the Car Mechanics. Yes indeed...there are Car Mechanics as far as the eye can see. Now, you're about to ask "Why so many?" Well, the best guess is that each person in this town has their own personal Car Mechanic, thereby making the numbers even out. It's been suggested by some Conservationist groups that it might be a good idea to cull the herd a bit, so as not to damage the natural vehicular ecosystem; but this was ruled out since most of them don't actually seem to know what they are doing anyway. Also, as we get into what I laughingly refer to as the "rural" part of town, you'll notice many...many...MANY satellite dishes. Not the little tiny ones, either. No...we're talking 7' Mesh or bigger. Seriously, I thought I had walked into the movie "Contact" before I realized this was going to last longer and be more boring, at which point I developed a nervous twitch in my frontal lobe. Well, that's about the end of the tour, and I know you're just as happy as I am about it. On a final note, I have to say that I do seem to be the only single person in this one-horse, backwoods, yee-hawing town. When you do return to civilization, please send a date down here. ...I have beer. ~Gangrel |
