Gobble, Gobble, Death, and Trouble

He was world-renowned for his gourmet turkey dinners. Chef and restaurant owner Ramsey Gordon attracted food aficionados from everywhere to his fine-dining establishment, “The Golden Gobbler.” Known to be a tyrant of a boss and an ill-mannered business associate, his recipe for turkey has remained a secret for years, despite the protestations of those who proclaim that the ingredients and formula for such a succulent dish should be shared with everyone.

Last night, Gordon’s restaurant was to have been jam-packed with hungry customers, waiting for the chance to devour his famous main course. Yet, it was not to be. The famished fowl feasters were unexpectedly told the sad news that Gordon was dead, the victim of an unfortunate accident. For earlier yesterday, while lighting his personal oven – the one only he was allowed to use – an explosion
rocked the restaurant, putting an untimely end to the career of the duke of the drumstick. The circumstances were suspicious enough that authorities investigated and proclaimed the death to be not an accident, but a well-calculated homicide.

Who would have done away with the wizard of the white meat with Thanksgiving in the air? And what of the secret recipe? Was it written down and stored in a safe spot, or would it vanish from the
earth forever? Would “The Golden Gobbler” remain at the top of the restaurant heap or would Gordon’s death signal the end of a legendary gastronomic treat? Only sound logic and expert sleuthing skills would solve the case and ensure that no clues would be left over.

Are You My Mummy?

A reception in Exhibit Hall of the University of Great Bridge has been held to honor and celebrate Doctor Harley Diggs’ discovery of the Mystery Mummy, which sports the Star of Egypt Diamond in a rare headpiece. Dr. Diggs unearthed the Mystery Mummy six months ago.

At 11:30 at night, the power goes out! The beam of a flashlight shines in the darkness, illuminating Dr. Diggs, now lying dead on the floor – an ancient Abyssinian dagger in his back! Once the lights are back on, another discovery is unearthed – the disappearance of the Star of Egypt Diamond, missing from the headpiece worn by the Mystery Mummy – a diamond worth twelve million dollars!

The old saying goes “Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer.” What unfortunate bad advice for the now-dead Dr. Diggs. For Dr. Diggs shared the head table this evening with other noted archaeologists and guests – all of whom were his enemies!

By Jessie Jones, Nicholas Hope, and Jamie Wooten

Bowie Community Theatre announces auditions for “Christmas Belles” written by Jessie Jones, Nicholas Hope, and Jamie Wooten, and directed by Joe Thompson. Auditions will be held on Monday, September 21, and Tuesday, September 22, from 7:00pm – 9:30pm at the Bowie Playhouse, 16500 White Marsh Park Dr in Bowie MD (off of Route 3 South between Routes 450 and 50).

Please bring any conflicts you have for October through December. The play opens December 4 and runs weekends through December 20.

Synopsis: A church Christmas program spins hilariously out of control in this Southern farce about squabbling sisters, family secrets, a surly Santa, a vengeful sheep and a reluctant Elvis impersonator. It’s Christmas time in the small town of Fayro, Texas, and the town not exactly in a festive mood. The hot-flash-suffering Honey Raye Futrelle is desperately trying to keep the Tabernacle of the Lamb’s Christmas Program from spiraling into chaos as the rest of the citizens of Fayro spin out of control. Things are not looking too promising. This hilarious holiday journey through a misadventure-filled Christmas Eve is guaranteed to shake the mistletoe and bring a smile to your face.

Death is a Cabernet Ol Chum

It was an evening of wine and cheese at the Melee Vineyards in the Nippy Valley, celebrating the winery’s tenth anniversary. Owner Malcolm Melee took great pride in pouring his world-famous Melee Cabernet, the wine that tickles the palates of wine connoisseurs around the globe. Over the past decade, his small operation has built a record of supplying a quality product, even though Melee’s surly personality has produced more adversaries than advocates.

The celebration was open to the public and the assemblage included both his supporters and detractors, some of whom openly expressed their opinions about his business practices. Melee simply laughed off all negative words, even dismissing the notion that someone was determined to end his reign as cabernet king.

As the gathering broke up about midnight, Melee bade “farewell” to everyone and said he would stay around to turn out the lights. But this morning, it became deadly obvious that someone had planned lights out for Malcolm Melee, for his body was found at the bottom of the staircase that leads to the oak casks in the wine cellar. Someone had put the cork on Melee and taken action that would squeeze the winery’s reputation.
