Jail Vulcanus Rex LXVII?

February 8, 2005 7:51 AM

Saint Paul's Vulcan King faces sexual harassment charges. No, nothing to do with Spock. The Vulcan King, or Vulcanus Rex, and his Krewe fights King Boreas every year to bring warmth back to Saint Paul during the city's famed Winter Carnival. Decades ago, the Vulcan Krewe used to kiss ladies and smear their faces with soot, but now, they have to ask first. They do a lot for the community, but their questionable traditions put a shadow on their charity work. Even so, some are still behind the Krewe. Hail Vulcans! Jail Vulcans?

They Call Me Heat Miser, Whatever I touch,
Begins to melt in my clutch!
I'm too much! (Too much!)

(No discussion of krewes isn't complete without also mentioning Prof. Carl Nivale's Mardi nGras Manual.)

If everything alleged in the first article is true, it seems like a fairly transparent issue to me. I don't care what his group affiliation, he just can't do that.
