Yag, I think you'll fill both positions just fine. Do us a favor and change clothes when you switch personalities, so we can figure out who you are that day. They can be so similar and very confusing.

Yeah Ygmir, you are the sheriff and the villiage idiot hon. I would never think about taking that way from you. Now breath slowly into this paper bag...

Maryanimal; since you've added a Wikileaker, we may need a Geek God or Goddess so that person can send their brown envelopes in the new-fashioned way and how else could Eric send his photos for publication!

Deb, since I promise to be an honest politician, I feel that I am the best person to report on my own honourable (as you Canadians write) and honest activites, and to let the good citizens of our community know what's going on. This is how the U.S.S.R. has done it for years--and it worked for them! :D

Pravda! indeed.

We could do a He Said/She Said with side-by-side columns. We'll put a graphic box around your column with the word Advertisement in tiny print so you can mention Sham's Sofas. We'll see who gets the most letters to the editor!

Fishy for proofreader and grammarian!! I vote yes!! Now we need a:
county clerk
a supermarket
a barber
A know-it-all
A busy body
A Boo Radley


Any more ideas? I'd like to see a blueprint of our town! What a great art project.

Or ... we would think outside the box.

Burning Man 2012 Theme: Burning Gerlach. Literally.

The organization buys up the abandoned towns, and burns them right down to the foundations. Then for the afterburn, it digs up the foundations, and sends them to a landfill, so nothing remains of these communities other than a few scrapbook pictures, a few burn scars on the ground and some rapidly fading memories.

We could call it "the end of their world". It has a ring to it, and it would put all past burns to shame.
