Management of the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa took advantage of the short term physical impairment of the kindly ol’ pensioner and ordered a stand down to retrain the staff in civility and inclusiveness. Classes have been poorly attended. the Face of Everyman finds it difficult to gauge morale. No one is sure when daily activity will return to normal.
Bellicose Billy
the Face of Everyman had set aside the first day of each calendar quarter to hear the complaints of the murmurers and complainers. Most folks were soft spoken and had “their hat in their hand” when they sought succor from a perceived wrong. Not so with Bellicose Billy. Obstreperous was his middle name when it came to complaints about food. His stipend had been late every time and was usually moldy and starting to ferment. The venerable sage tried to point out that the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa was at the end of the supply chain and that there were always substitutions and shortages. Billy just turned up the volume. There seemed no escape from his raucous voice.
Alarm
Newly fledged beings appear daily at the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa. the Face of Everyman views with alarm the ponderous Baby Huey slipping slowly towards the inevitable crash into the very face of the venerable sage. Onlookers are helpless to intervene.
Dewy
The Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa is often the setting for filming TV commercials. Seen above is Evelyn in her closeup scene for a new dewy fur product developed by the Face of Everyman. What boar wouldn’t find the countenance of this sow inviting?
Vortex
Once again the Face of Everyman awoke to find himself cattywampus. Those rowdy raccoons are to blame. Luckily young Archimedes was fresh out of Engineering school. His quick eye told him that he’d need a long lever and a fulcrum to put the venerable sage back in harmony with metaphysical lines of the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa spiritual vortex.
Hypnotic Stare
Tula’ the Manor House cat, has ventured into the magical land of the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa. Seen above, she is attempting to hypnotize a songbird. Luckily the Face of Everyman has intervened using his mind altering skills to thwart the possible demise of a feathered friend.
Old Sayings
Wondrous things are said during the time of the full moon at the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa; many the Face of Everyman had heard over and over again; a perennial favorite: My Mom says that if I cross my eyes one more time, they’ll stay crossed forever.”
Plastic
The Dentist at the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa free clinic had cautioned Armstrong not to try and drink before the Novocaine had warn off. the Face of Everyman would have offered him a drinking straw but his were all made of plastic. The admonishment against their use had reached even this remote spot far off of the Pacific Flyway.
Guardian Angel
It has been said, “that if you turn your head quick enough you’ll catch a glimpse of your Guardian Angel”. Poor Batska, every time he tried, it was just his cousin dropping in for a chat with the Face of Everyman. Most folks in the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa didn’t think that you needed a Guardian Angel. Further more, who’d ever seen one?
Photography
It is that time of year when proud couples in the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa celebrate the fledging of their second brood. Roscoe appears very proud while Theodora more stately. the Face of Everyman gave them their portfolio of four proofs. They could choose which pose to purchase. Next week he was shooting school class photos; an especially lucrative area of enterprise.
