Where could they live, that would be downwind from the clean non-hippie population?
we just gotta put up a sign:

Berkley, 2 miles.

get'em into a round corral, and tell 'em to stand and wait in the corner, for the bio-bus.

So I was just thinking about the position of Mayor in our new town. Although the name is going to change from Empire, I believe that in deference to the old town, the Mayor should be called the Empire-or of the Town. In an effort to save money on costly elections, I believe that in the best interest of all the good and educated citizens of our town, that this should be a position for life.
I could list dozens of good, sensible and sound reasons for this, but I think the cost savings alone would justify the appointment for life.

Good call!

Plus, if we ever get sick of the empire-or it'd be easy enough to end their term...ha...ha...ha.

I think it's important for all of our city "notables" to have a before and after picture for the city archives. Here's Simon's before picture, he's the lad in the middle

And, to make sure his before picture isn't the only one, yet, here's one of me, at the helm of my first sailboat

Fishy! You'd be perfect for the Fashion Police- snark, a sharp eye, and the urge to destroy bad outfits unless they're on us or our friends, of course!

I can tell what sucks, but for fashion accolades, I don't have the touch. Which is why I'm on search and destroy missions.

yes yes yes! It's a tasteless display of my lack of fashion sense. Although I think guys in skirts look hot!

Umm...I'd like to retract that last post. I should've said kilts, not skirts.
