Fieldville Youth Have a Lot to Answer For Today

Fieldville - In what has been described as a "Morality Riot" by the Proctor of Justice and Taxes, Fieldville teenagers trashed the balcony of the Cob Theater last night.  Shortly before curfew, the concession stand ran out of Grimy Pop Classic™ and started substituting it with Sugar-Free Grimy Pop™, and then as witnesses have recounted, "It was like Saturday night in the Artists' District."  No word yet on what punishment Our Dear Beloved Supreme Leader will visit upon Fieldville's teenagers.

When Cats Go Bad

Fieldville - Fieldville's pigeon population is furious about yet something else this week.  As you may recall earlier they were complaining about all the dirty humans that were infesting the ground around Cob Park, now they're complaining about cats.  As you know Fieldville's cats all live in the Artists' District as it is not considered patriotic for a citizen to harbor a cat in his residence after the unfortunate and unprovoked war with Cattown.

Fieldville Pigeons are Sick of Dirty People.

Fieldville - Pigeons living around Cob Park are sick to death of all the dirty humans infesting the ground around the park. More and more pigeon parents are using humans as anti role models to instruct their fledglings. "Humans walk on the ground, do you have any idea what's on the ground?" one pigeon father was heard to say. If weren't for the garbage dumpsters and great roosting, many pigeons have expressed their desire to move to Cattown, except for its unfortunate name.

Check Your Backdoor for Flightless Birds

Fieldville - The palace issued a statement regarding reports of a flightless bird in Fieldville.

The Council of Proctors wishes to remind all citizens that Biff has been found and all is well.

A Deeper Look Into the So Called Ghost Phenomenon

Fieldville - The Council of Proctors has been looking deeper into the so called ghost phenomenon, and the Proctor of Justice and Taxes is warning of a severe crack down on the so called ghosters.

Citizens - Curfew Your Children

Fieldville - The interim Minister of Morality issued a statement today concerning children of citizens, "Now is the time to panic, curfew your children.  We have learned that the deadly hovering Cattown Fruit has been spotted hovering over Crick Creek. We all remember what happened the last time Cattown Fruit found its way into Fieldville."

We all remember the scenes of children citizens flaunting morality by openly walking in the Artists' District, and listening to morally inappropriate Artists' District music like the demonic "Let's Lay Down Our Sticks and Stones and Make Peace with Cattown".  Some citizen children took to calling Cattown Fruit "Electric Banana".

Wherein I Discover Wonderful Things

Dear patient reader, know that I was drawn to see the sights of Old Fieldville's ancient stones, and all the stories they could reveal.  I took it upon myself to walk there, and found no one with a similar disposition on this sunny day.  I had heard the stories where the citizens of this mysterious citadel practiced the odd and troubling act of demockrazy in the open and amongst their neighbors.  My dear reader, nothing could have prepared me for what I saw next.  I apprehended a ruined tower among the ruined stones, and proceeded to the same, with all haste.  Know that climbing it was an arduous process, and not without its own adventure, but truly what I found at the top was beyond all comprehension.

As a ascended to the last level, I beheld an empty socket of a window, and what I peered from it astonished me.  What I saw was not our dear beloved Fieldville, but instead a madman's monkey puzzle of towers and roads that scarcely could be given credence. The golden dominance of this false Fieldville captured my eye, and for awhile I could not tear away my gaze.  I believe that only Our Dear Beloved Supreme Leader can grasp the significance of what I saw, I pray that he will elucidate its meaning for the likes of us.

Only Our Dear Beloved Supreme Leader in his wisdom can explain this.

Palace Breaks Silence

Fieldville - The palace has issued an official policy statement regarding the discovery of the so called Old Fieldville. In the words of the Proctor of Science and Parades, "The so called discovery of the so called Old Fieldville is welcomed by the Council of Proctors and indeed by Our Dear Beloved Supreme Leader himself.  We believe that thoughtful citizens will realize that so called demockrazy that was practiced in Old Fieldville is nothing but propaganda spread from the evil-doers of Cattown.  Everyone knows that Cattowners vote and have no permanent government, but instead hold periodic festivals where they select the government from ordinary citizens.

THIS JUST IN!!!

Fieldville - While directing his residents on the proper method of raking, a citizen on the south edge of town discovered "Old Fieldville".  For as long as history has been recorded, there have been persistent rumors of the mythical "Old Fieldville".  While denied by scientists as bunk, the rumors persisted, mostly fueled by the numerous folkloric songs that come from the hills outside of town.  Such songs as "The Battle of Crick Creek", and the ever popular "The Old Stones of Fieldville".  Scientists have pointed out for years that there are no stones in Fieldville.

No word from the palace as to the official stance on Old Fieldville, as all citizens know the myth is that in old Fieldville everyone was a citizen and was able to vote for the Council of Proctors and even the leader, then known as Mayor (a term in old Fieldvillian which meant duly elected chief council person)
