As my first assignment as a mild mannered reporter for the "The GlamisDunes Gazzett" I was sent out on a search for a mythical man known only on the streets as "Slappy". "How hard could this be" I thought to myself as I set out to find "The man no one really knew". As I started out on my search I had to wonder. Did this guy even exsist? Was there really a "McSlappmachine"? Or was this just some kind of hoax perpatrated by a the City Counsel Members of the little town of GlamisDunes.

I figured I would go in and try to nose around for information until he returned. Maybe I could catch a glimpse of him as he entered his office. Standing next to the Mayor's parking spot was a security guard who seemed very preoccupied rubbing the tops of the orange cones. He had a big smile on his face and was kind of laughing to himself. "FastHiJumper, is that you?" I said as I saw him continue to rub the cones. "They put me in charge of the cones...he he, I like cones." I couldnt help but laugh as he opened the door for me and I entered City Hall. "Thanks FHJ, I will talk to you later." As I entered City Hall I was amazed by all the....
