Dateline Dirty Ol' Town:
6 Flaggs Offers Bonus Checks to Lure Beer Drinkers!
6 Flaggs Under the Table, Inc. announced today that they will begin offering bonus checks to individuals and groups who lease their bellies for beer consumption at the popular theme park. Negotiations were underway with various neighborhood associations for a special, Beer Belly Night Out.
Park officials decided this was the best way to cope with the growing public outcry over their recently announced proposal to allow the sale of alcohol in the park. In a move to allay fears form area residents, they also agreed to install beer kegs as sound barriers between noisy beer drinkers and teetotalers.
After the announcement, complaints subsided drastically as various neighborhoods started organizing to get the better lease deals. Park officials have scheduled belly leasing parties at several area churches. Complaints are already mounting that bellies in some neighborhoods have been offered better terms than others.
An unidentified park spokeswoman was quoted as saying, "Sounds gross I know but, think of the income that can be generated for local and state coffers by leasing your soul, I mean, your belly to help a major corporation stay solvent. It's a win-win for all involved."
A Downhill Fort Worth, Inc. spokesman with multiple stock options in 6 Flaggs enthusiastically supported the proposal saying, "Think of it this way: It's good for the economy which is all that really matters, right?"
FWISD chief, Malady Junebug, suggested that she is considering a pilot program for allowing beer in public school cafeterias. "Only low calorie, light beers will be considered", she said. With Ms. Junebug's blessing, 6 Flaggs has agreed to sponsor a poster contest for 8th graders titled, Got Beer!
Mayor Mikey Mischief, whose significant investments in 6 Flaggs netted him over half a million dollars last year issued a proclamation stating that, " All beer mugs, I mean boats, will be lifted higher, especially, hiccup, mine." City attorney's acted swiftly to deny any conflict of interest.
In a move that startled no one, The FW League of Associated Neighborburbs joined with the League of Women Vipers to host a public forum to study the issue. Representatives of Bud, Coors and Miller would be invited to make special presentations. The newly formed, Beer Drinkers Education Council, would also be on hand to answer any questions.
A small band of protesters from FWCanDuh! were on hand to protest today's announcement pointing out the dangers to society and the moral implications of leasing one's belly to a soulless corporation for beer money.
Fort Worth Tel Star columnist, Ken Buddy, made light of the group's protest, saying, quote, "They're just a bunch of dope smoking hippies who don't appreciate the importance of beer drinking to our local and national interests."
In an unrelated story, 6 Flaggs officials announced today that they will make financial donations to the FWISD, the Opera, The Symphony, City Council, Arts Council, all neighborhood associations, etc. etc. Company president, U.B. Snookered adamantly denounced rumors that 6 Flaggs was trying to buy undeserved respectability.
Signing off from a nearby parallel universe known as, Dirty Ol' Town, this is...

"God bless Dirty Ol' Town. Help us save some of it."
