Miss purrplebear, do you take in boarders? miamouse (aka the Queen of Spades*) and I could use a couple of rooms away from the hurly-burly of Cecilopolis, and a nice place on the hill would suit me right down to the ground. I’m ever the proper gentleman, and I’m sure there’d be no loose talk - Mr. Colt and I would see to that!

Well, since I’m drunk most of the time now…sure, I agree top your terms.
See? Told you I was drunk most of the time.
Can I be the newspaper photographer?
Grr. Any photos of the moderator that fixes the link in the previous post will be extra-flattering.
You’re hired!
I shall call you “Flash.”

Hell yeah, I can watch my freakin’ mouth. Do I have to get up before 10? 'Cause I’m worth less than a dog’s crusty butt before 10.
And I can keep kids real quiet. A coupla sips of my “special lemonade” and they’ll be sweet as the sugar permenantly fused to my kitchen table for the rest of the day.

Seems like almost every sheila has put her hand up for the ‘Town Floozie’ job…
But who’s wants to be the MILKMAN?? (Gotta be some goodies for the gals too ya know).
And as far as names go, I reckon 'Tis Dopia is a brilliant suggestion Dijon Warlock.
Can I be the town shrink/psychotherapist?
I was thinking more Nannette Fabre…
I am the Mayor’s assistant. Yes, I know all the town gossip.
Cartooniverse also brought up a good point about our unnamed town: we have to have a cheesy annual festival, be it a street festival or what not. Almost every small town has an annual festival. I’m voting for Cecil Adams Days myself.
I wanna be the other lawyer.
“A town too small to support one lawyer can always support two”
…and volunteer Fire Dept. Chief like Papaw Pravnik was. Family tradition, you know…
Luckily when we arranged our EMS building, we knew we’d be sharing quarters with Cecily’s Bravest. You guys get the lockers that are Red , we get the ones that are Blue .
Y’all make the chili, we’ll take care of the burger and dogs. It happens to be a zero alcohol building however, but then, this being 2002 I figured you guys were down with that ! Never run out of water with lemon slices, however…
blink blink
An alcohol-free building in Cecily? Does this seem strange to anyone else? Will this be allowed?
That’s ME! And I will run the local church, too. See, I am this loving and wise pillar of the community, president of the board at the church… my wicked and wisecracking sense of humor hidden from the church board…who sees beyond the drifter’s lone wolf appearance and appreciates him for the wonderful, compassionate and loving man he is. I am a tad bit eccentric, and I fly in the face of convention by throwing my lot in with this intelligent man who works to right wrongs, uncover corruption, solve murders and etc.
THAT’S me, TOO! I am really good at multi-tasking.
You can pick me up at eight, and we will go see if we can find some floozies to rehabilitate…we’ll send 'em to school with MsPurrplebear and they can MAKE something of themselves! Or…maybe we should just try to rehab MsPurr instead? I just KNOW she has some deep dark secrets hidden under those low cut blouses.
I’ve got dibs on being the wealthy town hippie.
Oh? Not every town has one of those? Well they damn well should. Particularly Dopesville.
Might I interest you in a friendly game of poker?
While I like the name 'Tis Dopia, I shudder to think of the mangling it’ll get in the movie and novelization. I think our dusty little town should be called “San Cecil” after our patron saint.
Me? I live in a cave not too far from town, and I Know Things[sup]TM[/sup]. I read the stars and watch the future unfold in my firepit, and some say they’ve seen me up on Cemetary Hill on moonless nights, speaking with the Dead[sup]*[/sup]. People come to me when they need special help–help that may carry a heavy price…or none at all.
[sup]*[/sup]But not since Garcia died.
Town hippies are great. For balance, we need some town squares, so everyone can make fun of them and they can be shocked and appalled at everything the town’s unconventional populace does.
Can I have that scrubby piece of land out on the highway? I want to put up a little shack and run a tourist-trap zoo. You know, couple of tortuses, one or two tarantulla’s a few rattlesnakes and maybe an armidillo. I’d come into town on Sunday’s though, and I guess I could take the 10-13 yr.old class at Sunday School. Doper kids couldn’t be worse that the one’s at my church, could they?!
I have dibs on the first library card too.
I can’t wait 'til the movie house opens! I love Silents! Just one question-Cartooniverse, what happened to the Thirties? You said 1940-59 after the Silents, and as I recall, they effectively ended by '29 or so.
See you all there!
