Wellington Leg Sold to Private Equity Group
The Piltdown Exchange: Wellington Leg is going private. The towne and its environs including exurban Goth, Henley Hornbrooke, and Carthago Nova is being acquired by Ravenous Enterprises LLC headquartered near Versailles. Ravenous CEO M. Dumond issued a statement from the floor of the exchange despite heckling from the Live Hog Pit. “Ravenous will consume Wellington Leg, devouring its boroughs and funstiles, pillaging its precincts, consuming its contentments, squashing all attempts to sanitize salubrious claims of eminent domain. Ravenous remains robust of balance sheet exhibiting exhilirating excess and casting wretched defenestrated doubters upon the puts and calls of outrageous fortune.”
In exchange for voting rights peasants occupying the lands included herein will receive a bottle of beer ( 120z) and a dogeared copy of Ravenous LLC’s annual report ( Big Fat Report: 1233 pages). Louts and layabouts will cuff the unwashed until full compliance is achieved. This shall be know henceforth as the “purge.”
Since One More Bite of the Apple is headquartered in Wellington Leg, we feel we must flee to the foggy bottomland never forgetting our roots in the towne and should those roots grow out, to attend to them in the usual manner with all haste and speed.
The Earl, now satisfied that Australia is nowhere to be found, has planted his flag in defiance of the Ravenous decree. He will attempt to pull a mighty sword from a large dish of flan heretofore unpickable in our history. We shall blog on. We shall prevail and seize the day. Wellington Leg is not for sale!
