The Friends of the Roundabout just broke from a meeting that ended when a pubmaster politely suggested, “Yer distrubin’ my regular drinkers with all your talk, move along!”

During the meeting, controversy arose over the possible posting of a historic Ocean Shores photo, circa 1960. “DON’T post it – those Internet thugs will just make fun of it!” wailed Barb Butterclam, the Secretary in Charge of Positivity who had earlier suggested painting a big Smiley Face in the middle of the Roundabout. “Aw, who cares about those clickers, post it and let them choke if they don’t like it!” countered the crusty James T. Duck (the city pioneer for whom, of course, our big lake was named). “No, no, no a thousands no’s!” shot back Tim. C. Urchin, publisher of the Roundabout Post, soon to be hitting newstands. “You can’t let this kind of stuff out for free, then who will be my fish wrapper?”

Well, maybe so . . . but who can resist the potential feeding frenzy over a caption contest for this:
