[TheWatchman]

I was BillW. I was replacing apple trees for the Cholla city council because some beer guzzling goon took out a row of them with his pick-up on his drunken drive home from the local beer joint.

I was digging my last hole when Lightfoot and Haynes walked by arguing about who was singing out-of-tune back-up vocals during some concert called Montreux.

About this time a guy ran by singing a Maria Carey tune, naked as a jaybird and ran into the Cholla library. At this time Lightfoot and Haynes looked at each other in disbelief and Lightfoot commented that he just got an idea for a new toe-tapper.

Lightfoot looked back at me and said "Hi Watchman, didn't realize that was you. Did you see that guy running naked into the library?

I said "sure did. Third time today he's been by here." Hey man, thanks again for your all your help on the Chinuguntha", Lightfoot said. I said "yeah whatever Lightfoot, you ate your pet bird Lyle. By the way Lightfoot, I see you got a new bird, what's it's name?" Lightfoot replied "his name is Fezziwig and he sings about as well as the ol' straw boss here." The straw boss muttered some obscenity at Lightfoot and I couldn't help but laugh at the two of them.

The three of us walked into the library expecting chaos from the streaker but what we found was the exact opposite. People were going about their business as if nothing had happened.

There in a corner we spotted the naked singer sitting at a computer typing and typing away. We crept up behind the naked man and Lightfoot saw a picture of himself on the monitor which read "Gordon Lightfoot Discussion Forums".

Lightfoot's eye's got big and said "Net People! Their everywhere! Come on Haynes, let's get outa here."

Lightfoot and Haynes left the library and I haven't seen either one since.

After his 18th post, Borderstone gathered the children in the periodical section and lead them in a teary eyed rendition of "This Land Is Your Land".
