the Face of Everyman assured Randy that the water flowing from the Spring of Perpetual Happiness tasted like Honeysuckle Nectar. Randy drank some and immediately realized that he was the butt of an April Fool’s joke. The venerable sage used that gag every year.
Hungry Crows
That nice couple, Posie and Milo, who booked in to the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa last week started to show their true colors. They morphed into Bonnie and Clyde; one of them accused the Face of Everyman of being in cahoots with the kindly ol’ pensioner and not putting out enough seed and grain. The venerable sage took the harangue in stride and suggested that they look for orts in the neighborhood or check out the alley behind the pet store in the village. Sweepings often contained sunflower seeds and exotic grains.
Fire Bird
the Face of Everyman had accidentally invoked Aithne the demonic Fire Bird. How was he to dismiss this cacodemonic spirit before the entire Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa was toast? His “best shot” was to utter the invocation in reverse. It worked. The venerable sage took an early lunch; he was shaken and felt exhausted.
Stash The Swag
The Flics were right behind him. Nine Lives Wynton had to hide the swag somewhere. What better place than beneath the Face of Everyman. At that moment the venerable sage awoke. He was starring into the eyes of the infamous cat burglar; who, no doubt, was responsible for all the jewel thefts at the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa. Everyman wasn’t sure which part of this encounter was a dream; which not.
School
Milo and Posie had agreed upon building a nest at the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa. As contracts were being signed Posie wanted assurances from the Face of Everyman that the Montetorkie school was right for her kids. Startled by the question; the venerable sage hedged and said something to the effect that her fledglings would be the biggest students the school had seen in some time.
Inkblot
Lowman had ordered some male enhancing supplements. The effect was riotous in every way that the Face of Everyman could imagine. Lowman was the laughing stock of the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa. He became known as a flying Rorschach test. A prize was offered for the most “original” perception.
KFLL
Elizabeth met Puddy while on Spring Break in Fort Lauderdale. He had missed his cruise ship and was at odds as what to next. She convinced him to join her at the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa. They had so much in common; why, they even dressed alike. the Face of Everyman saw nothing but trouble ahead with these two.
U Dub
Belasco had stopped at the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa to ask directions to the university that had the best on going research into Crow behavior. He was tired of eating road kill and wanted the balanced diet of cage-life. Belasco’s demeanor was so brusque that at first the Face of Everyman feared for his life. At last, the venerable sage was able to blurt out: The U Dub has a good reputation.
Crash
The Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa has an enviable safety record. But, every once in awhile, there is a crash landing. Seen, above as recorded by the security camera, is a behemoth entering Resort airspace and attempting an uncontrolled landing. the Face of Everyman and his small songbird friend, Terwilliger, are bracing for the inevitable.
Extraction
A tooth had been bothering Elwood all week. The dental clinic at the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa was closed during Spring Break so the Face of Everyman recommended the old fashioned method of extracting a loose baby tooth: Knot a piece of string around the tooth and jerk quickly. The venerable sage had reached out to the tooth fairy; alerting her to be ready with a small coin to reward Elwood’s achievement.
