This time of year, most folks buy wreaths to put on their front doors to add some holiday cheer. However, Pocomoke has never been known as a conventional place - we need something better.
Therefore, this holiday season I'm proposing creating a Pocomoke Crest for our front door that would laud our achievements to friends and intimidate our enemies.
We're looking for suggestions for symbols that represent the residents of Pocomoke. And conveniently, there are exactly four squares on your typical crest.
For example, would J.G.'s square be a beer bottle honoring his brewing and drinking abilities? Would Bex's be a computer or a symbol representing his prompt attention to taking out the garbage? Would Old Bear's symbolically represent irrational levels of guilt? And how can one symbolize "greatness" for Big Cat's square?
We need your help. And remember, this is something sociological anthropologists will study years from now when they try to make sense of Pocomoke - so let's get it right.

Just to get the ball rolling, I'll make a few suggestions. There should be an image of a large ol' grizzly bear eating a small cat. And the lovely artwork behind the door, the 'loomer' or whatever its called, should represent Richard. And for James, he'll be represented by his gingerbread doppelganger.
And since all together that only takes up three squares, the last square will be devoted to the little boy next door, 'boogle61', since he has touched the lives of us all.
can't top Carolyn's comment!
and is that crest giving us all the middle finger?
I just want to say Kudos to Big Cat for summing up Old Bear magnificently. A more concise description is unimaginable.
