If Fluther was a town & not a website, what do you think it would be like?

I imagine it to be a lot like Hanover, NH. A quirky college town with a little bit of everything. Not quite as snotty as the other Ivies.

Something not unlike The Stepford Wives. With a touch of One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest & a dash of Sesame Street thrown in. Wow, that’s one crazy town.

Diverse—I would imagine it would have distinct neighborhoods reflecting the type of people on this site. Some of you I would love for neighbors; others, not so much.

The local Starbucks would be far more interesting than the ones here in Boston.

I think it’d be like that show Eureka. Lots of smart, quirky people.

Yes, smart and quirky.

The bohemian types can set up their yurts and teepees on my property. lol

Smart and quirky are exactly the adjectives I had in mind.

I think we’d stand in the middle of the street downtown and fight all day.

But I bet the weather would be nice.

Let’s try it. Who is up for a vacation to a remote location?

Apparently just like the real world – lots of fights over religion.

It would be a smallish hamlet where everyone was in everyone else’s business.

It would be like the Willy Wonka factory. 1971 version.

Fillled with lurve, which is more than you can say for lots of places !!!

A town with a lot of tumble weeds. It’s a ghost town around here anymore.

It would be fabulous! Plenty of gay people to keep it looking fantastic. Majority atheists who strictly stick to religious freedom and separation of church and state. Many little cafes with al fresco seating (the weather is fabulous by the way all year) where people congregate to discuss many different topics. Great food! Thre is an emphasis on green energy, windmills, solar, and electric cars. Bicycle and walking paths everywhere. The local government is referred to as the mod squad, they keep thing in order and make sure people are following the rules, uh, laws. People who are mean to other residents get shunned eventually.

Sounds heavenly, @JLeslie I’d move there. Can the “mod squad” wear stuff like this in lieu of uniforms?

I’d organize an open mic night, that’s for sure. And provide peer education.

I used to live near Fluther! Some people call it Boulder….. :-)

@Seek_Kolinahr Fantastic.

I would be that weird guy at the end of town down the dirt road who has no electricity, running his house on a generator.

I’d be the wife of that weird guy, and you would find me sitting on the porch sharpening the axe now and again. just before the squawk of a chicken is heard from the back

Very interesting question. When I was on wis.dm I always thought of it as kind of like a town, with different neighborhoods, with different ambiences and with people you might just run into on the street. Fluther has never quite felt that way to me, I don’t know why.

I’d be the asylum escapee, who lives in an old bus thinking its a spaceship.

I’d be the sheriff, naturally. But, a benevolent one. In addition to every thing @JLeslie mentioned, we’d have a great corner pub.

@Arisztid @Keysha You got a guy playing a banjo on your porch?

I“ll be the farmer that everybody calls when they need something fixed. Climb the wind turbine towers and run the gas-works, too. Otherwise, invisible by choice.

I play a little banjo. Just saying.

@zenele : When you graduate to a big banjo you can sit on the porch…

I’ll just stay in the canoe with one hand over my butt.~

Banjo? You are welcome to come stay with us. Aris is cleaning his guns with a quiet smile, and I’m electrifying the barbed wire fence with a car battery.

@JilltheTooth Oh good Gods that is funny!

Ayup, I have to keep them guns clean in case of… emergencies. After all, isn’t there an apocalypse scheduled soon?

@Keysha… you know, dear, there is a guy living in that crashed spaceship, err, I mean “old, abandoned bus” a few acres out. He seems ok, just a bit… eccentric.

He’s the one with the tiny banjo

@Arisztid @Keysha If the zombies overrun your place, you’re welcome in our bunker.

@stranger_in_a_strange_land I’ll bring the homemade raspberry wine (if you can call it that, alcohol is a bit high on this last batch)

@stranger_in_a_strange_land Hells yeah… we are set. The food in my root cellar is only a bit out of date, say, WWII era or so… yours should be better.

@Keysha Trade ya for some homemade raspberry schnapps or Belgian Lambic beer.
@Arisztid MREs vs C rats~

If these are the people surviving the zombie apocalypse, I think I’m going to run screaming into the hoardes. ^_^

It’s not a little banjo… oh fuck it.

@stranger_in_a_strange_land Deal!!

@Seek_Kolinahr Them is us.

@zenele Uhm… no thankyou. That sounds painful.

@Seek_Kolinahr ;)

@stranger_in_a_strange_land MREs… we’ll be eatin’ high on the hog and will be well armed with a good buzz going on. We are set!.

@Arisztid : Maybe not so painful if it’s a teeny weeny banjo…

Now we just need some touristy type who can squeal like a hawg!~

@stranger_in_a_strange_land We have a cat that passes noxious gas out his nether regions on a regular basis, and hawks up hairballs from the other end, almost as often, will he work?

@Keysha That’s okay, I’ve got a lady friend who’s practicing her hawg calls…

Fwaaahaha @Keysha and @Arisztid are the cutest couple in this town. :D

Yeah I don’t care what kind of town it is, so long as there’s some zombie apocalypse for me to fuck up and cheap beer à volontée.

@Symbeline Here,have a rifle and a Keith’s IPA.

Sweet. :D

I vote filmfann as the town Santa for Christmas. :D
