| On
Saturday
evening, what appeared to be a lovely couple
barreled into the town of Golden Needle
intent on enjoying the sites of the city,
including the 'Golden Needle', a once-beautiful
work of art worth a good chunk of cold cash.
It
began at Senorita Lolita's Mexican restaurant
on the square. The mystery couple
enjoyed plate after plate from the all-you-can-eat
buffet, owner Lolita taking note that they
appeared to be quite fond of the double-garlic
quesadillas.
After
the mysterious couple left the restaurant
they were seen viewing the sites of the
town which included the courthouse, the
town park, the town gardens and the once-exquisite
Golden Needle.
Several
bystanders reported observing the couple
leaning over a bit too close to the Golden
Needle. Many believe that the iron rods
surrounding the statue applied too much
pressure on the stranger's tummies, particularly
in lieu of the big Mexican feast.
A
loud belch ensued which was so violent it
literally melted the face of the Golden
Needle.
Devalued,
demoralized and disturbing - all of these
words describe the plethora of emotions
circling the townspeople these days.
The
mysterious strangers vanished but have since
been reported to have been seen observing
Mount Rushmore.
