Philadelphia- Feb 5, 2005: It's a mysterious thing, the envy of men, who would have plotted to steal the throne of the King of Wings. You'd think they would meet on the battlefield, napkin on chin, pepto in pocket, and hands ready to tear flesh from bone, but not on this dark day. After the sauce had settled, and the winner was declared, there would have been much rejoicing. Only the seat built to fit a man of royal girth had strangely vanished. Now this is no small feat. This throne for the King of Wings weighed nearly 250 lbs, and was built on a large wood and brass platform. It had been specially designed by the craftsman of The Theme Factory of Philadelphia, skilled artisans famed for their unbelievable creations. The chair and platform combined stood 9ft tall and had to bow just to enter the Wachovia Center. Hardly could a chair this large just disappear. Wizards maybe, or ninjas, or someone who's mastered the art of stealth must have had a hand in this crime. They managed this remarkable feat in view of three cameras, a dock master, and several guards. I speculate that they must have had some sort of de-BIG-ulator to make the chair pocket size, which would reduced this case to no more than shoplifting, but in all of my research, I have yet to discover the re-BIG-ulator, without which this plan seems sort of foolish. So, unless there were any avid dollhouse collectors at the Wingbowl, which i find unlikely, this is grand theft robbery. So for now, El Wingador, The King of Wings, is without rest. "Please, I'm so full and just need to sit down. Help me find my throne."
