It turns out that the leader of the newcomers is Carole, The Ancient Yuletide Troll, herself. She and her friends were living under the Francis Skate Key Bridge over the Potomac River until a bunch of goats from the Gruff family butted in and being indignant to indigents, had them thrown out, threatening to use them as bait while trolling for Rockfish. Carole and her friends Con and "Highway Pat" tired from seeking demeaning seasonal work as Mall Elves and Garden Gnomes*, they thought they might be able to score some free grub. They are still dressed in Swiss hats and Leiderhosen fresh from a low=paying Mall gig, posing as yodelers from the Troll-ean Alps. Mmario tells them that the choir is on break, so they can sing for their for awhole and then "Alp themselves". They start off with their signature Swiss version of "Deck The Halls" (sung earlier by some shantymen as "Haul The Decks"). Most people applaud, except for DtG, who has never liked their kind...... BREAKING NEWS FROM CNN....... Both the Russian pilot and the rhino (with a chunk of the aircraft still hanging on his horn) were rescued alive from chilly Atlantic waters. Luckily, as is usually the case with pea-brained rhinos, why he was charging/flying and even where he started from was completely forgotten, keeping us from having to deal with the Endangered Species List folks..... As for Teresa Terrific, she definitely deserves a high ranking on the Engendered Species List....
