Monstrous Science Event Brought to Life in Belvidere

2010 May 24

Have These PTO’ers Gone Too Far?

When ending my last post, I raised a simple question to the people involved with the Belvidere PTO which was, “What’s Next”? Well, I got my answer and it is BIG.

BelvidereGreen.com has obtained and verified documents pertaining to a massive undertaking which will take place on both June 2nd and 3rd of this year. This leaves very little time, for those who wish to hide.  In just under ten days (and counting) our town will be inundated with scientists, professors and businesses of all kinds.  These highly knowledgeable creatures will be arriving on things such as Bio Buses and state-of-the-art mobile laboratories.  They will be speaking in a language that uses words like; physics, biology, fiber optics, aviation, cells, chemistry and natural science.

For your own safety please beware, because if you encounter one them they may be pointing a laser, dusting for fingerprints or showing off their skeletal remains.  They have been known to hit people with a sledgehammer while lying on a bed of nails and explode hydrogen balloons.

It has also recently come to my intention that some of them even intend to turn all our 4-6 graders into human battery’s.  Sneaking away in the dark will do little good, for they can turn pickles into light bulbs.

This is serious stuff and perhaps these PTO’ers have finally gone too far.  This blog intends to keep a sharp eye out on this highly unusual situation. Please check back frequently for more details on the participants and where you can take shelter.  If you have anything to share, I beg you to keep your neighbors informed by posting in the comment section below or in our forum.  At this point, pitchforks and torches may be an overreaction, but keep them nearby just in case.
