I know what this town really needs! We need a Ms. Burnerville! We can hold a pageant of all the wiling ladies in town and vote for the best choice! And as a part of the pageant, there will be specific portions of the program:

Talent (i.e. singing, macrame plant hanger making, loudest belch, tractor pull)
Image

Evening Gown (Mom's old wedding gown, thrift store find, potato sack)
Image

Swim Suit (use your imagination here)
Image
Sometimes I'm confused by what I think is really obvious. But what I think is really obvious obviously isn't obvious.

We really don't NEED vacuuming and dish washing! :roll:

We could add basket weaving and furniture moving!

Fire Moose, would you consider the job of Fire Chief? It doesn't pay much, but you get to play with fire.

Ok, but only if you will drive a 1985 Mercury Marquis station wagon with an American flag tied on the antenna and all your belongings and some scrap metal, and cans in the back.

Sound like a misery wrapped in an enima.


Under those conditions, I may have to rethink my choice. :(

Can you say" roasted long pork"? Free food, and, the hippies can bring cabbage for cold slaw!!

depending on the village, it could be:
bad harvest
Beseeching the Gods for something/sacrifices
or
filled with criminals
or, any combination thereof.

Ok, ok, I have an idea that will put our little town on the map.
Why don't we hold some sort of festival that has a stick figure of a person that we can party around for a week, and at the end of the week, we light it on fire and dance wildly then send everyone home afterwards.
We can make this strickly alcohol and drug free and make sure that people stay clothed all week. We can expel them if they break the rules.
So not to interfere with that "other thing" down the road, as well as not having to deal with oppressive heat and dust, we can hold it in the dead of winter and have the last day of this event on Valentine's Day every year.
I'll bet we can attract dozens of people to this wild party.

Any thoughts on this proposal?
