Is Wellington Leg Getting Warmer?
Rimbaud’s Apothecary: The paving stones in front of Eddie’s Book Nook are warmer this year than in previous years according to scientists gathered here for an annual conference. Most of the rooms at the Wellington Leg Spa and Disco have been sold out for weeks pressuring the towne’s hospitality industry. Two fresh towels were stolen from the Louis Quatorze Room coveted for its courtyard view of the odd beheading and scene of Hamilcar Frist’s famous Faustian frolic with an already frazzled staff.
DCI Borchardt and the Flying Squad cordoned off the heated stones late yesterday on orders from the Tower. The police action spoiled a solid Monday performance on the Piltdown Exchange and a reading scheduled for four pm at Eddie’s. “If Wellington Leg is warmer, what are we supposed to do about it?” asked Marge, the afternoon cashier.
A documentary film is in order: Borchardt used a hand held camera to film the stones during the late afternoon. At one point a stray Pomeranian lifted his leg on the very stones in question. “The offender was pursued and captured,” Borchardt said. “He was found in possession of fresh towels and a quantity of prescription drugs.”
Saw horses remain in place outside Eddie’s. Residue of prehistoric plankton were carried off by CSI Caruso in fifty gallon drums. “Nobody puts plankton in my towne,” Caruso said. Geraldo reporting.
