The Final Straw

As if the anti-smoking crap here weren't bad enough, now I find out there's going to be a new Krispy Kreme shop opening next year...in the neighboring city of Bentonville. You see, the Krispy Kreme people originally wanted to locate in Fayetteville, but "was unable to put a deal together".

That does it. We're moving. You people are too damn stupid to live. The closest Krispy Kreme now is in Tulsa...a good 2 hour drive away. And you wouldn't help them locate in Fayetteville. Now if it had been "Rainbow's House of Tofu-On-A-Stick" I'm sure our city leaders would've donated some prime real estate just to get 'em going.

Damn hippies got no place in government.

Sorry, it was just too tempting... ;-)

And I later heard that Jerry's Restaurant, the only place in town that serves decent grits, is up for sale.

What a world, what a world.

It's the end of civilisation as we know it; I'm bumping Fayetteville even further up on my list of places to avoid like the bubonic plague.

We're thinking about moving to Bentonville so we can smoke & eat Krispy Kremes with the other reprobates in peace.

I'm willing to support that. :-)

The downside is that I don't think DSL is available there...but cable modems are.

Well, isn't it time that you ditched DSL and joined the rest of us cable people on the Dark Side?
