OTI- Radiation contained - The Island is habitable again as of Jan 2023

Apparently we all had a very good time

I pasted in a meme, and it was there. This morning it is not. Oh woe is me. What have I done wrong, citizens?

Broken links abound much as with the lounge's patron's credit cards.

There's been some chit AND some chat around the pina colada cooler that the big hole in the center of our sun is going to hit the island in the next couple of days, flooding it with more radiation. What does this mean?  It's the start of something bad. Othelia has hightailed it to her burrow and fast. Mugs may be our only key informant.  As well, Doc may reach back into his prodigious memory or find a relevant YouTube video to illustrate what may take place.

On an even more serious note, if we do not get some business going in the lounge, we can all start naming our newborns after Shakespearean tragedies.  The 3-course meal for $11.99 is doing us in. For a while, the crowds came. Now, it is emptier than the Sullivan county casino. Everyone, let's get the crowds back in. For all of us who have saved 150 gallons of oil this season, that is $750 dollars for the blackjack table. (Doc: always bet on black).  

There is an option, painful though as it be for the left to center and the left: the Republican party has inquired to rent the entire island for its national convention in 2024; Milwaukee has pulled out!  Because these are very delicate negotiations, I've asked CP to head our delegation. CP, take your inspiration from this:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-PJzK35hMrU   Sorry it was the best I could do. I am not Doc.

At this point in time, dear Director,mass reverse immigration occurs back to the Mainland as realization sets in that the snow season there is over.They accept that and have no need for our Island.As they say, "fair weather friends"!
You have set all time records at the Lounge for receipts this season as your incredible array of menu and entertainment set a new standard.
At this juncture, closure of the Island is set for April 1.I, as always, will remain with a skeleton crew, to make sure all is in readiness for the next season's influx slated for Nov 1, Anno Domani 2023.
I will post a closure notice thanking all those who have made this the most remarkable and noteworthy season of OTI.

I will make sure I get schedule the re-supply before November 1st so we are ready. See you all back on the mainland!

Magnificent work Janet, the Island was never more safe being under your care! Especially like the triage center you set up next door to the Coconut Lounge ,for imbibers such as myslef that went a little too far over the line.
Parliament approves of any and all methods for your handling the EMS supplies and is at your service when we open again NOV 1.

CLOSURE NOTICE

Once again, dear OTI staff and visitors, we reduce our staff to a skeleton crew which I will maintain through the months until we get back to opening on Nov 1.
I want to thank CP for his steadfast work here on the Island.
Billg gets the OTI Citizen of the Year Award for his groundbreaking work defraying the radiation contamination vis a vis Dawn Dishwashing Detergent.Talk of Noble Prize is in the air.
Damian did an amazing job directing the Coconut Lounge, revenues skyrocketed and reviews in the OTI newspaper, the Daily Bannana, were outstanding.Word has spread now on the Mainland and Damian and Parliament will be in talks before opening Nov 1 for possible expansion plans.
Doc of the Mainlands amazing visit and post wins OTI's outstanding post of the season.Just the fact that a higher up in Emperor Frank's entourage spent the time making that post makes our season complete.

Your genial Director Of Parliament would like to thank everybody once again who posted here or visited.I will be back on duty Nov 1 for the next season.

PS: If I forgot anybody in this statement, please cut me some slack.I am 72 and have suffered radiation damage of brain circuitry.

I would like to thank all island personnel for their great work during this most trying of seasons. Look forward to operations starting up again in the Fall.
Note that the Hall of Justice will remain open for summer tour groups. Please see the tour guide to arrange appointments (whoever the tour guide is. We may not have hired for that position).
