Film Crew Considers Wellington Leg
Gastropod Alley: Indie filmmakers are in towne this week to evaluate Wellington Leg as Hollywood North according to sources close to the registration desk at the Hotel Faz. The arrival of the film people was heralded by several hundred professional mourners pressed into service as a cheerleading squad. “There was a lot of weeping at first,” reported VP of Development Wilfredo Tagesblatt. “Then they managed a Laker Girl Pyramid.”
The film is believed to be an adaptation of Cicero’s epic D’Amicitia set in modern times with the Spanish Civil War as back story. Parts of Wellington Leg will be painted to resemble the forum at ancient Rome while the backdrop hills will be canvassed to resemble ” a big bumpy down comforter.” Cicero will be played by eleven different actors some of them women as his days of struggle are rendered in a blistering drag racing scene.
It’s Okay to Think About Parking Here: to welcome the honored guests Wellington Leg’s draconian parking regulations will be suspended for the duration. Portions of the Historic Rotunda are open for special tours and the Roman camp at Carthago Nova will supply extras as needed. Wellington Catering is preparing a lavish radish themed lunch to celebrate the towne’s Bona Fortuna.
Hizzoner to preside: A freshly painted portrait of Hizzoner Refusing a Bribe will grace the marble foyer of Big Business Hall; a ribbon cutting ceremony will be followed by a ribbon repair ceremony outdoors, weather permitting. Legians are encouraged to duck work for the afternoon unless they are considered essential personnel. Flood control engineers at Great Wellington Bog will open all the taps promptly at five o’clock: a word to the wise.
