Wellington Leg: Recent surveys have sought Legian opinion in regard to mega trends influencing the lives of the serfs and vassals who toil at the pleasure of L.Ron Flotilla the towne’s preeminent bookmaker. Ron cites the Yankees sub 500 start: “It’s like nature and literature got together to make a boilermaker or something,” Ron said.
With a second Lehane movie on the horizon the Mega-Plex at the Prince of Denmark Shopping Center is preparing for the onslaught of Kinsey-Gennaro fans by cooking “inflatable popcorn.” “We can’t use corn so we’re turning to synthetics,” said theater manager Wm. Bathgate. “We’re serving Fedex popcorn as an experiment,” he added.
Meanwhile corn prices have discounted a fully realized crop according to Ag Complex: “I’ve got a bushel of corn,” he said. Trading opened under the supervision of DCI Borchardt whose query letter to Agent Orange raised eyebrows when the lengthy missive was returned to sender by an aggrieved postal clerk. The Query Letter Pit at the Piltdown Exchange became a frenzy by 0900 local time with bidders elbowing one another. A local librarian suffered a black eye in the melee.
Everyone owing money to the same bookie is a great mega trend according to Sub Prime the once and future stuntman who hopes to play Borchardt in the filmed version of “Wellington Leg Confidential.”
In a case of art imitating life Sub Prime also owes money to Ron. “At thirteen percent a week, it really adds up,” Sub observed. “No, wait, that’s my credit card.”
