No.
"— J.T. Sellers, golf cart boy, Eudora"
Sounds like the main character in a bad Will Ferrell or Adam Sandler movie.

From what I've heard Lawrence has a problem with selling sidewalks. Nobody wants to pay for them or shovel them. They should just forget the whole thing.
Valkyrie_of_Reason (Kathy Getto) says…
You betcha!
snap_pop_no_crackle (anonymous) says…
Sidewalks = trade routes. Wear a protective mask.
prospector (anonymous) says…
I don't care if they are on sale, you end up having to sweep and shovel snow off them. No thanks
autie (anonymous) says…
So I guess, prospector, you may go through it, or around it but not to it.
blue73harley (anonymous) says…
I am afraid I am not allowed to attend because my sunglasses are not large enough.
prospector (anonymous) says…
Is Free State Beer on sale? That might change my tune.

Blue -
I think this is the first time that we hit a flush on insectoid sunglasses. All four respondents? I don't hink that has happened before.

Who is paying for the Downtown Sidewalks????
That is what I thought.... No thanks, I'll walk in the grass.

That could support the theory that they travel in packs. A flocking behavior. Wouldn't be weird if one could prove they all have the same queen?
hodgesmom (Dayle Hodges) says…
Love the glasses comments! :)

Wonder if we could get the LJW reporter to stage a shot with someone holding a can of Raid in the background?
RETICENT_IRREVERENT (Ronaldo Ignacio) says…
Attending the sidewalk sale would impinge Nude Recreation Week, so no.

*Note to self to stay away from RI's house this week.*
I'd actually love to get some sidewalk on sale. We have none out in my neck of the woods, and I'd love to do some cycling/walking on something other than a road with cars wizzing by at 1000 miles per hour. But even on sale, I don't think I'll be able to afford it.
BTW, who is puddleglum? MD accused me of being this alter ego and before I decide yes or no, I have to know if they were witty or glum like the name.
Prospector, you should convince FS to at least put their T-shirts on sale!
The_Original_Bob (anonymous) says…
MD accussed someone of having multiple online usernames? Something about pots and kettles should probably be mentioned.
Stat_Guys (anonymous) says…
New longer list has been posted. Thanks for playing along. We've got more names just not enough Stout.

Ronda has seen fit to help us out, thanks. Beer Run after work tonight.
jonas_opines (anonymous) says…
While certainly large, can these sunglasses truly classify as "insectoid?" Maybe futuristic robot-bugs, but. . . . .
sunflower_sue (anonymous) says…
MD, I had a good chuckle as well. I had no idea that I hadn't posted since April. If I ever need a PI, I'll know who to call! Keep trying, though...wasn't me. I'll take that Oscar, anyway. As long as it's made of dark chocolate!

autie I have a pair of sunglasses like that and I love them. Mine also have a cute design on the frame.
Do you remember when those tiny round granny sunglasses were all the rage?
Irish (Leslie Swearingen) says…
Stat_Guys Well, I give up totally. Now after reading you I feel totally depressed. You have managed to pretty much ruin my day. Thanks, much.
