Group Hug - maHELLO!

What has happened to our beloved city? We started off so well and have since dove into the abyss. I admit that it the mayor's office has not lived up to it's potential but we are doing everything to reconcile our faults. I've failed enough in life to know that I don't want our fair city to fail. We need a group hug and a path to destiny. Please help to make the dream come true.

Step right up!

Is it me or does oil feel like a rigged game? To this passerby, it sure seems like all the fat little pigs that took a once top tier US co. down have just switched to a new shop and are doing the same thing to oil as they did to California. Just another classic example of history repeating itself. There seems to be a blind eye and limited regulation of the sector while a few of the good ole boys siphon off their fill and then some. Blue skies!

Thanky G

There is nothing like stuffing you face with lots of carbohydrates and meat, then passing out to a good flick. Don't let the Turkey's get you down. I hope this Holiday season will bring many exciting fun filled days to our city along with a few witty comments.

This is why Bunsen burners are not used to make grilled cheese.

Missing Persons

Are there any citizens looking for a box of these? They are all short with different maturities. They were left on the footsteps of Town Hall with no note attached.

YARRR!!! There be Treasures in these waters.

Community Service

This Saturday we will be closing down Wingthrope avenue for a fund raiser to save the old clock tower. We encourage all citizens to do their part to make this event a success. The speed chess tournament participants must be registered by
9 am, no exceptions.

Your sine is my sign.

It has come to the attention of the mayor’s office that several citizens have taken advantage of certain liberties in my absence. While running around wild and integrating other people’s exponents seems enjoyable and safe on the outside, it has also caused several citizens to trip, fall and even land on their protractors. A sharp pencil can be as lethal as a hunting knife. We are but in few number and must preserve those that have survived.

Urban Planner

Evil forces threaten our way of life every day, pirates have been spotted in surrounding waters. They want to ruin yaaarrrr way of life. The regentrification of Dork City must continue. We will be conducting a survey, with the help of the City Planner to create a guideline book for our urban project. All suggestions welcome. This will be team effort and a true show of our strength and unity. Stay strong my brothers and sisters, our day will soon come.

Attention all citizens...

...rebel forces have invaded our city and I must report from a remote undisclosed site. Please be on the lookout for any snapadorkish looking persons carrying poisin salmon. We will not be declaring marshall law at this moment but please be careful.

For all citizen's attending this weeks festivities at Nokia times square, this is what 38 years does to you. Concerned parents should consider another w/e for taking the kiddies to the Lion King. Haight and Ashbury has taken control.

Welcome- The quest begins

I'd would like to welcome all people to become citizens of Dork City. I (your mayor) will do everything in my power to preserve our way of life.

Dork is a term of abuse favored by American youngsters, designating the target as quirky, awkward, eccentric, socially inept or simply of lower status. Similar epithets include nerd, geek, and the Australian colloquialism dag, which has the added feature of being seen as affable or amusing.
The term implies stupidity perhaps less often than it formerly did, and paradoxically can imply an unadmirable (bookish, academic) intelligence, much as "nerd" and "geek" do.

Although this the textbook defination of a Dork, I consider it a label of endearment. We are who we are and should be proud of our heritage.
