… or, as a conversation between Beavis and Butt-head!
Beavis: Uh, hey Butt-head, what’s all this stuff about the Planning Commission meeting?
Butt-head: I don’t know, Beavis. Something about Commercial Mixed-Use Standards or something.
Beavis: Yeah, like, what the hell is that? Is it like, a new place where they mix drinks and stuff?
Butt-head: No, dumbass. It’s probably something to do with buildings and businesses and stuff.
Beavis: Oh, yeah. Like that one time we tried to open our own burger joint in the backyard.
Butt-head: Yeah, that didn’t go so well.
Beavis: Yeah, we forgot to cook the burgers and everyone got sick.
Butt-head: Anyway, it looks like they want the Commission to discuss some land use policies and stuff.
Beavis: Yeah, like, we should totally go to the meeting and like, give our input.
Butt-head: Yeah, they probably need some real expertise, like us.
Beavis: Yeah, we could, like, tell them to make sure there’s a TV in every building. That’s, like, important for business.
Butt-head: Yeah, and, like, free nachos for everyone. That would be cool.
Beavis: Yeah, nachos rule.
Butt-head: Yeah, let’s go tell them our ideas. We’ll be, like, the heroes of the Planning Commission.
Beavis: Yeah, we’ll, like, be famous and stuff. Let’s go!
