According to information received here in Indiana, the Legion Hovel experienced a devastating fire last night when Short Rounds O'Really consumed too much of a Certain Ethnic Food and, while in the Necessary Room, lit a cigar. Short Rounds was found in Inkom, his clothing and hair burned, and the "Gents" will take at least two weeks to repair. In the meantime, the lease of several Porta-Potties has been arranged. Oddly, there were no real injuries and the explosion and fire wasn't noticed by the habituees until the Fire Brigade arrived. The absence of Short Rounds completely unnoticed, as is usual.

More on this later, especially after I get back and can obtain more information.
