Wellington Leg: The Arts Council is outsourcing literary criticism as a money saving endeavor this budget cycle. With dozens of local companies vying for the honor Council President Art Forartsssake will announce the winner momentarily: okay, Art is holding the envelope and a thrush has fallen over the crowd…did I say thrush? Let’s take it from the top since I don’t think we’re live yet. Foundation and make-up? Yeah, that was Asimov.
Take Two: Okay we’re in the media room here at Wellington Leg’s North Station a big drafty place that used to be a train station. Check that, it is a train station! Wow I almost got squashed by the 4:55 local. Don’t we have fact checkers anymore? Isn’t that what the Checkers speech was all about?
And the winner is: The Mothra Removal Service! Looks like the Vice President of Operations is on hand to accept the award. He’s explaining that the Mothra Removal Service is a local company that specializes in removing Mothra from difficult social situations. I gather that Mothra is some sort of prehistoric monster who retired to Wellington Leg after a film career. Now that I think about it, I’m certain that I’ve seen her around, shopping and stuff. Everyone knows that we have to shop or face an economic future full of prehistoric monsters and other gloomy things.
Literary Call Center: Now that Mothra Removal is in charge of literary criticism they plan to open a call center in Goth. I foresee a language problem since most of their employees are laid off Roman soldiers: yeah, I guess we’ll have to learn Latin.
Sure, they’ll have website but I wonder if this is really going to work. What do you think? The Druidical & Literary has operators standing by.

Editor’s Note: We had an operator standing by but we don’t have one right now. He’s a film buff and wandered off to see The Outlaw Josie Wales. Mothra has a cameo role.
