Neighborhood News (1/12/2020)

in The Hood4 years ago

Hello Neighbors,

Today’s Neighborhood news is very important, so drop (or gently place on the ground) everything you’re doing and listen to the words coming out of my mouth. Listen very carefully, with full attention. You should be taking notes. The notepad and plastic Bic pen that was left on your kitchen table last night by the Neighborhood Watch Association while you were sleeping are perfect for just this very situation. (If the pen doesn’t work, writing in blood is a quick and easy alternative.)

First up:


Do not panic. This is an alert.

Do not panic! This is an alert!


DO NOT PANIC! THIS IS AN ALERT!


  1. The Sun has disappeared. It's around noon. We can still feel its heat, and we still pick up on solar radiation with our monitoring equipment, but the Sun just isn’t there. We don’t know where it went, or why, but we’re hoping our new scientists figure this out soon, for their sake and ours. If they haven’t found the Sun in the next few days, we’ll have our engineers make a new one. Until then, the power grid is still online so we have home and street lights.
  2. The lack of sunlight is not an excuse for a poorly maintained yard. Excuses like “photosynthesis is necessary for plant growth” will not be tolerated.

In other news, the Tennis Meet was a blast to watch. In hindsight we probably should have cleaned up the corpses and blood from the tennis courts, but the added variables made for an exciting afternoon of challenging sport.

@wwwiebe won the Tennis Meet and has been crowned “King of Tennis”. He has been granted immunity from involvement in further mandatory Neighborhood sporting competitions until he has to defend his tennisball crown in the next Tennis Meet.

Speaking of @wwwibe, he has been given the role of Neighborhood Jester because of his expertise in making us chuckle. There has been a derth of laughter in our Glorious Neighborhood since firing the last jester (although he wasn’t making us laugh anyway, hence his disposal), so I’m personally excited for an occasional giggle.

You can drop your aforementioned notepads off at the closest PO Box for evaluation of stenographic ability.

That is all.

I'm going to take pictures of the nude joggers, so in addition to getting an occasional giggle, you can also get an occasional jiggle.

Everybody waived their rights to privacy when they moved in (a boon to our 24/7 surveillance program), so there shouldn't be any issues there.

photography is art right?

Oh yes, absolutely. Without a doubt.

The Sun is overrated .........it's the Moon I'm really worried about.

It probably wants to just move into The Neighborhood, and I totally understand.

you just won 3 hood points for promoting Hood values

Nice... exactly how this neighbourhood of yours work? What are required from the neihbours in order not to be evicted?

The Hood is an alternate reality that is close to this one. It's a place that is labeled as a "Dystopian Utopia" where there are cameras and rules all over and all sorts of oddities that occur. I do think there was a memo saying that the newest memo was to be released very shortly.
