Other action at the meeting included approval of stocking the City Pond with 1,000 pounds of catfish. The fish are to be one to three pounds in size. Flowers Fish Farm of Dexter will do the stocking. City permits to fish at the pond are $5 per year for residents of the city and $3 for a two-day pass for others. A Missouri fishing license is required.
Scott: I am talking about buttroids. Not muleroids. Muleroids are what you get from loud fans cheering on teams that don't play defense and beat Campbell by the ten run rule.
Hoon, have you ever had "muleroids". Not a good thing. I believe Tone lived and went to school in Bernie because he couldn't hack it at his previous school, it seemed that a lot of kids did that. I would like to hear Tone's comments as well.
I know Tone Loc has an opinion on this one. He says Mules give him 'roids.
Yeah....hopefully Dexter can pattern itself after the sidewalk and curbs in Bernie and become a successful community.
Maybe the City of Dexter will make sidewalk and curb improvement also after seeing what a really small town can do....
I wonder if Tone Loc has anything to add to this story? He has some inside contacts in Mule Country.
