New Year, same old peels…

They're slick, slimy, and extremely dangerous.
Watchout!
This peel was spotted in Val’s friend’s rental car back in June. “She left it there a couple days,” Val reported.
Jester Auditions
The jester auditions took place this evening at the local conference center:
The contestants, from left to right: Casey Silver, 22, a graduate of Amadeus Academy for Young Jesters; ZibberZabber McGee, 35, winner of the 2005 Pockmark Prize for Best Joke; and Jake Faffles, an amateur jester discovered outside Waverley Station.
Talent only gets you so far — a jester has to have the right look!
After several drinks, Judge Claudia disclosed a conflict of interest, and was disqualified from the contest. Not that it would have mattered anyway, because the king makes the ultimate choice.
Known for his ruthless, arbitrary decisions, the king is not easy to please! The electronica dance medley from the Rusty Rake Jester Troupe, for example, did not go over well.
In the end, the king declared Gargles, the incumbent jester, to be the winner. They headed for the feast, while the others shuffled out of the auditorium into the night, toward their various hovels, lofts and sleeping-places.
Watchout! Caged Menace
Peels behind bars: spotted July 13 at Point Lobos Walgreens.
August 10: The peels later escaped and clustered on the corner of Geary and 42nd Avenue, where they remained for weeks until somebody came and swept them up.
Philomena
Philomena: resident of Apartment 313. On her way down to the laundry, she is suddenly transported back forty years to Mrs. Prince’s kitchen, cleaning shrimps. For a moment she can see the afternoon light slanting across Mrs Prince’s kitchen table, and feel the dense, flexible texture of the shrimps as she skins them with a special tool. She feels a pang of nostalgia at this vivid memory, but it quickly dissipates, and Philomena resumes her slow descent to the laundry.
