To "Serve" Man





More evidence of the Idyll-Beast's activity during the Halloween "Great Pumpkin" parade has come to light. It seems the Beast carried the idea of his costume, "Idyll-Beast Esquire, attorney at law" further than we had imagined. The county court has been clogged with confused respondents who believe they have been named in a lawsuit. It seems that during the parade the creature "served" other celebrants with what appears to be a lawsuit alleging "unlawful deliciousness and fraud."The Animal has been changed by his time on the Board of Directors of the Idyllwild Chamber of Commerce. As they say, "monkey see, monkey do."

Our legal team has determined that the case is probably frivolous, but to be on the safe side (ex abundanti cautela) "defendants" may bring their "summons" to the Idyll-Beast Research Center. Although not qualified to give legal advice, we know how to spot a hoax.  We reproduce below one of these documents. Click on the image to see a larger view.

If this is what it seems to be, it would represent a change in the animal's feeding habits. The Idyll-Beast is known to be an opportunistic eater, and our society presents opportunities previously unexplored by the higher animals. Using the courts to harass prey into being eaten would seem a logical step for an omnivore.

The document seems to be missing a "proof of service" and the verification paragraph is suspect, missing a signature as it is. Trick or treat indeed. The tone is somewhat more refined and polite than that of some attorneys, and the prose more natural. Many "Delicious Idyllwilders" will be watching their mail boxes for a "Motion to Compel."
