Rocky had been up all night prepping for his appearance on Jeopardy, the long running TV game show. He was almost too tired to sleep. Names, dates and formulas filled his head. the Face of Everyman had agreed to tutor this brilliant scallywag on his promise to never again spin the venerable sage like a child’s top. Rocky’s episode will be recorded on this very spot in the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa and released soon as a Summer Series on a yet unnamed streaming channel. Subtitles in Esperanto will be offered.
Offspring
The Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa held morning swimming lessons for pre-schoolers. Even before his first cup of coffee the Face of Everyman was forced to endure the crying, splashing, yelling and near cacophony of the fledglings. Over four billion years ago the venerable sage had sworn not to marry and have offspring. He was frequently reminded of his solemn oath.
Fledging
Chester’s widowed Mother has been paying the Face of Everyman to coach her fledgling son through some of the finer points of flying. Perhaps they should have used the meadow near the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa as there was lots of room. Seen above, Chester seems to have got himself stuck and can’t turn around. The venerable sage tried to keep his voice calm as he explained the hop up and twist around maneuver.
Glossy Prints
Benchley couldn’t believe his eyes. This must be the lost Aztec city of corn that he had heard so much about. Who would leave such bounty laying about. And sunflower seeds just for the cracking. the Face of Everyman felt compelled to speak up and clarify a few points. First, this place was known as the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa. Secondly, the food was bait from the kindly ol’ pensioner meant to to attract song birds into camera range. Thirdly, Benchley was welcome to return and pose for a portrait any time he chose. Glossy prints could be ordered online.
Golden Handshake
The proceedings were taking unusually long. the Face of Everyman’s contract for service and management with the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa was up for renewal. Already the usual suspects were starting to spread ugly rumors. Surely his distinguished career wouldn’t suddenly end with just the Golden Handshake.
Inaugural 5K Run
Krebsbach had signed up for the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa inaugural Nocturnal 5K Run. In truth, all he really wanted was the Tee-shirt. As he passed the Face of Everyman on the home stretch he was tempted to drop out. The shirts were already on sale, half off.
Spray
The exuberance of new arrivals to the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa is often a bit much. As seen above the security camera catches an English Starling finding great joy in a cool bath. the Face of Everyman tries to tolerate the indifference shown this guest. It’s boorish behavior is legendary.
Boredom
The ol’ Pensioner’s Almanac failed to mention the almost catastrophic high tide that would occur on this date at the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa. However it did bring out the usual gawkers. No one mentioned anything about rescue efforts on behalf of the Face of Everyman but rather how high would the tide go. At last the water showed signs of receding and boredom set in.
Northern Flicker
Press sources accidentally leaked a file photo of the William Wallace Memorial Stone. It is thought that this error is actually meant to herald the temporary replacement of the Face of Everyman. The swap out of these two icons could occur as early as Friday an anonymous source revealed.
Anger Management
The Court had sentenced Egmont to an Anger Management course in lieu of community service in the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa. the Face of Everyman tried to mentor this hapless soul but he washed his hands when Egmont tried to vent his anger on the Spring of Everlasting Giving.
