Gus, the Supper Sleuths formally thank you for spending time away from your lavatory duties to linger with the rest of us for a few. First of all, the upcoming party at the Hickleberry County Fair is guaranteed to be a night to remember.  Make sure you clean up and look your finest, because the guest wanna smell the cookin’, not the pot, if you catch our scent!  Better yet, take a shower before coming, and spritz on some eau de toilette (cologne, in this case)! Of course, making time to be here won’t be hard at all for punctual and a highly ethical man like yourself!  Below is your invitation, in case you need a reminder.  Janitors are always on duty, so find a replacement for the night, and consider yourself duty-free!

Full Name: Augustus “Gus” Phooms Lavoni.

Favorite Animal: “I dunno, all of ‘em are pesky things.  I tell ya what I don’t like.  Sewer rats!”

Favorite Vacation Destination: “Anywhere someone else cleans the can!”

Favorite Color: “Blue, the sky always looks good after it’s bottoms-up cleaning time!”

Favorite Food:  “Oh, I’ll tell ya, county fair food is tops.  We got chittlins, fried candy bars, homespun cotton candy and fresh fritters round the clock.”

Favorite Song: ““Don’t Be Cruel.”  In other words, give a courtesy flush, people!”

You are the janitor of the whole Hickleberry County Fairgrounds.  You are a temperamental man, priding yourself on knowing the ins and especially outs (outhouses, that is!) of the county fair grounds.  Act very angry about the trouble some folks are causing around these here parts.  You are a man who means well, but often gets his facts mixed up, since after all, overhearing people in the restrooms isn’t exactly the best way to get the facts straight.  You have a special gossip relationship with Ida Witherspoon so make sure you try to meander over to share some of the latest news with her sometime in the evening.  You are also best friends with the ranch hand Pat Barnhart.

Wear something that looks crumpled, dirty, and worn out.  Leave your hair unkempt and don’t shave.  You are a county fair janitor, and there are very few expectations of you puttin’ on the ritz tonight.  If you want some added mysterious effect and/or to look like you might be a true carnie, wear an eye patch.  If you can’t bear the dirty clothes look, a men’s basic t-shirt tucked into a pair of jeans and a backwards baseball cap with some work boots will also do the job well.  Your character has several temper tantrums, so if you want to bring a rag or something to wave around for effect, be our guest but be careful!
