Festivus on the Train

Dick, Jane, and Sailor Boy take a train.

One day Sailor Boy told Dick and Jane to pack a bag to go to Grandma and Grandpa's pig farm.  She told them they would have Festivus on the train this year, because daddy's cigarette business wasn't paying enough for a real trip on a plane.

On the train, she said -

Sailor Boy and Jane talk on the train.

Scientists Confront Biff with "Where's the Sun???"

Fieldville - "Where's the Sun," was heard throughout Cob Park today.  Cob Park was the scene of angry mobs of scientists at noon, when the sun refused to appear.  They spent the day looking for Biff, and it finally ended with the sub proctors of the Proctor of Justice and Taxes breaking up the group with cattle prods and mustard gas.  The picture below is from noon today.  The scientist said, "There is no way that the sun is coming back."

Scientists don't agree with Biff about the end of the world

Biff was unavailable for comment as he is moving north to follow the sun, as his publicist has told Street Level. "Biff has told everyone that the sun is returning, if some reactionary scientists can't get over it, then it is going to be their problem when the snow melts and we can plant potatoes again."  Biff is the Vice Supreme Leader, it may not behoove the scientists to dis him like they have.

The mobs of scientists published the photo below to show the sun issue here in Fieldville.

Scientists Refuse Sun Ritual of Druids

Fieldville - the Proctor of Science and Endowments has lashed out at the Brotherhood of the Druidic Path, Local 43 for stepping into scientific realms.  "Saving the world is the job of science," he stated.  "We can't have a bunch of people running around in cowls pronounce all manner of things, it just doesn't do."

The proctor showed Street Level the newest scientific instrument they are using to determine just when the sun will disappear.

Scientists Expanding the Brain of Sally

Frank, the Grand High Druid of Local 43 of the Brotherhood of the Druidic Path stated, "The sun was saved yet another year by your local brotherhood.  It stopped moving toward the edge of the world at about noon today.  Starting tomorrow, if there is enough honorariums left at the Path's door, it will start moving north toward the other edge of the world.  If you don't want it to fall off of that one, we'll have to talk.  As the Druidic Leader at the beginning of the world stated, "THE HOLE IS BIGGER THAN IN SOME PARTS.""

Biff to Dance the Yule Dance Tonight to Bring Back the Sun by Tuesday!!

Fieldville - Tonight is the night that Fieldville can finally rest easy.  Biff (VSL), in concert with Brotherhood, local 43, of the Druidic Path, will make a special appearance at the Fieldville Opera House.  He will dance the Yule dance, guaranteed by the Brotherhood to bring the sun around by Tuesday.  It is interesting to note that this particular Yule was choreographed by Sister Mary Sean of the Brotherhood, and it is considered one of the best arrangements there is for bringing the sun back.

Biff Appears Tonight at the Fieldville Opera House to Bring the Sun Back

(seen in the wings are the Proctors of Music and Hawaiian Shirts)

The scientific community have been quite upset with Biff's acceptance of the Brotherhood's dance routine.  "There is nothing scientific about dancing to make the sun come back.  We scientists think Biff is going to look pretty stupid on Tuesday when the sun just keeps slipping to the south.  We will have all of our really most important looking scientific instruments trained on the sun Tuesday and will prove the end of the world is still happening.  What do you expect from a bunch of people who think the world is as old as 300 years?" stated the Proctor of Science and Endowment.

Scientists Find the World's Oldest Known Book

Fieldville - In what scientists are calling a watershed discovery, the Proctor of Science and Endowments unveiled what he claims to be the world's oldest book.  This book has been dated by scientific methods not disclosed to Street Level.  "We have determined that this book is at least 80 years and may be as old as ONE HUNDRED YEARS.  That it would make it very close to the beginning of time," he told Street Level.

Scientists claim this is the world's oldest book

Scientists now believe that time began on a Friday in August 1872.  They dismiss as preposterous, the notion that the Druid espouse - the world is over 300 YEARS OLD.  Scientists tell us that the sun could not burn that long and all the mountains in the world would have been worn down by erosion.  "Mud Lake would have evaporated in the that amount of time.  We respect the Brotherhood as far as rituals and whatnot, but we have to be scientific when we describe the cosmos,"  Stated the Proctor of Science and Endowments.

All the news of the end of the world has taken its toll on some citizens of some of the better zones.  With the recent break in the weather today some of them played a little hooky, and headed out to Fieldville's famous Sausage Links.

Take time for the great taste of a Cob Lite!

Fieldville Ladies Team Up to Save the World and Little Money Too

Fieldville - The ladies of Fieldville, from all zones, are teaming up to save the world and make a little money too.  Many of Fieldville's better halves are holding Druid Parties to keep the sun from disappearing and make a little mad money on the side.  The Fieldville Food Barn (tm) has reported an increase in the purchase of various spices and live chickens, which we all know are important to a successful Druid Party.

Making the End of the World Fun!! - Druid Parties (Click for details)

While the ladies of Fieldville have been doing their part - Biff (VSL) has increased his footprint in his quest for the evil-doers making the sun disappear.  He was seen this afternoon looming over downtown Fieldville with his Evil-doer-banishing-staff waiting for the weekly Dear Supreme Leader's weekly parade and hot tub evening.  No word yet when he will get to fixing Friendbook, the popular social networking web site.  It is known that Biff did purchase a "Ball of Power" from the Iowa Gambling Consortium at the Fish Lane Liquor Store.

Fieldville - In typical Fieldville fashion, citizens and residents alike are rallying around Biff and all that he means to them.  You can see it in the streets, you can see it at work, you can see it in the science labs, and the palace.  It's heartwarming to see the innocent little children place their faith in Biff's ability to stop the ever darkening sun.

A little dark never hurt anyone - well said little Sissy! (click for larger view)

While citizens are relaxing in their homes, Biff is out getting to the bottom of the evil-doing in Crick County.  We got a picture of him today as he was going the archives of "Friendbook", the popular social web site.

Biff is getting to the bottom of all our problems

The Brotherhood of the Druidic Path, Local 43, went on record today saying that if the people of Fieldville didn't start showing up with honorariums at the Druidic Path Crop Circle, they could just forget about ever seeing the sun again.  Biff was not available for comment.

Biff takes an Oath of Fealty to the DSL

Fieldville - Biff has just taken his oath of fealty to the Dear Supreme Leader.  In a private ceremony at the palace Biff pledged his fealty to the DSL and promised to use all his considerable powers to bring the sun back and fix Friendbook the popular social media site.

Biff is now on the trail of the evil-doers

Evil-doers beware - Biff VSL is on your trail.  Biff left the palace with his evil-doer banishing staff and was last seen heading toward Cattown. Citizens and residents alike cheered him as he passed through downtown Fieldville this morning.

With the sun disappearing it is more important than ever that all citizens and even residents get the proper pick-me-up first thing in the morning.  Citizens who eat Fieldville Potato Flakes in the morning are more likely to live through the coming dark times, are more successful, and are more likely to become a proctor.

Get ahead - Get Fieldville brand Potato Flakes

Vice Supreme Leader - Biff

Fieldville - the Council of Proctors met in secret session yesterday evening and named a new Vice Supreme Leader.  The former Vice Supreme Leader is rumored to be sleeping with the fishes in Mud Lake since his run-in with the Folk.  It is expected that the Proctor of the Information Technology and Excuses may be sent to the bottom Mud Lake to determine if this is true.  This will be based on repair of the popular social network Friendbook, that has been experiencing problems.  The new Vice Supreme Leader (VSL) has been tasked with doing something about the disappearing sun and other nagging problems since the war with Cattown.

The New Vice Supreme Leader - Biff!

Street Level contacted the new Vice Supreme Leader today and he issued a short statement, "I plan to do all that I can do with all the super powers invested in me by Photoshop - and call me Biff."

We'll all be looking to see if Biff can stop the end of the world and maybe fix Friendbook.

East Side Strip Mall Holds End of the World Sale

Fieldville - the East Side Strip Mall is holding a no-holds- barred total blow out sale.  We contacted the assistant associate greeter part time lead worker for her comments, "all I got to say is you'll never see a sale like this in your lifetime.  The place is going crazy and the markdowns are tremendous.  Oops, got to go," she told us, as she saw the manager approaching.

East Side Strip Mall Giant Blow-Out Sale (click for larger view)

 This is truly an end of the world sale EVERYTHING MUST GO.  East Side Strip Mall needs to liquidate their entire inventory before the end of the world.  If you need tires, they're almost giving them away at 90% of the suggested retail price.  Why face the end of the world with bald tires, when you can have fresh tires from the East Side Strip Mall.

Whoa, 10% off on select items to qualified customers, looks like the East Side Strip Mall means business in this end of times thing.  So saddle up whatever you have, and head to the East Side before it's too late.

In other news, the scientific community is still baffled with the continuing disappearance of the sun and what that might mean to several grants.  The Dean of the College of Science at the Fieldville International University suggests that next year's tuition will have to be raised to compensate for the end of the all that we know, it also may be necessary to implement a pre-end-of-the-world surcharge to make up for shortfalls in faculty meal and housing allowances.

Omens Appear at World's Edge

Fieldville - Since the discovery of the edge of the world, omens have appeared in the overhanging firmament of Crick County.  Scientists have also documented the continuing disappearance of the sun which they say has continued since June (commonly known as the month of the Dormouse).  Many scientific instruments were used to determine the sun's movement to the south.  Further, streaks have materialized in the sky and some say they can see the visage of the Dear Supreme Leader on the face of the sun.

Omens are appearing at the edge of the world

 Scientists give the sun no more than a few weeks before it will wink out altogether.  It is expected that without the sun the growing  and swimming season will be greatly affected.  Scientists cannot agree on what the omens are telling the citizens of Crick County.  Even in the evil despicable Cattown, the omens can be seen.  Local 43 of the Brotherhood of the Druidic Path will not comment without a small honorarium from Street Level and a free listing in the latest Enchiridion Indulgentiarum to be published later this year by the Palace Press.  The spokesman for the Brotherhood did say there is a chance, through a number of rituals, to bring the sun back before the end of this month.

Street Level will keep readers informed as the days grow darker.
