Flatlanders...Vermont

Interesting, Flatlander! I could never have imagined this post would draw out the meaning of your boardname!

to ease their shame for being so eager for the money the tourists bring

So, right, Dr. Bill! All locals in resort areas who survive off the tourist economy should wear T-shirts saying: WE BITE THE HAND THAT FEEDS US!

just send them the money! Great idea, Faldage! And then we can just send them back a picture of us smiling at them from in front of the surf! Less work that way!

Why is it called tourist season if we can't shoot at them?

Great, wow! George Carlin coined that one! I like the T-shirt edit even better! It's open season on shoobies right now, that's for sure!
