Quote of the Day: Welcome to Nightvale
From episode 6, "The Drawbridge":
"This Friday, at Night Vale High's Memorial Stadium, it's the annual Softball Showdown between the Night Vale Fire Department and the Sheriff's secret police. Proceeds from the game will go to support development of nuclear weaponry for a strongly religious Indonesian militia that is looking to overthrow their heretical government, as well as to the Make-a-Wish Foundation. So, even if you don't like softball, come on out and support a couple of great causes. Last year's game ended in a rout as the secret police hit three home runs in the 8th and 9th innings. The firefighters claim that there was some foul play involved (pun intended, dear listeners) as their entire bullpen was assassinated in the middle innings with blow darts. Those murders remain unsolved and completely un-investigated. Our hearts go out the families of the deceased relief pitchers. Rest in peace. It should a fun one -- expect a real revenge-minded fire department to take the field on Friday. Tickets are only $10, or $5 if you bring enriched yellow cake uranium. Black helicopters will be mind-scanning the town on game day, hunting down those who do not attend. The first 500 fans receive surgically applied working gills."
