<b>MONETA SVPERVACANEA, MAGISTER?</b>

The Canting Crew is a group of beggars which other beggars refuse to have anything to do with (even beggars need somebody to look down on), led (in a distant and dodgy way) by Foul Ole Ron. Ron is known for his Smell, so strong the capital letter is fully justified. In fact, Ron's Smell has evolved a personality of its own, and can be found without Ron, attending opera performances or visiting art galleries or taking the other side of the pitch.

While none of the crew is noted as being particularly sane, Ron is perhaps the least coherent, being known for muttering the phrases "Bugrit!" and "Millennium Hand and Shrimp", whatever that means. He is often accompanied by his thinking-brain dog, Gaspode. Ron is never sure about the fuss that kicks up when he wanders out from under the Misbegot Bridge and finds himself booting an old and stinking pigskin around with his mates, their hooting laughter ringing in his ears. Then again, it's no more mysterious than when he wakes up and finds he still has eyelids and a left thumb, whose movements will entrance him for minutes or hours at a time.

Here's how it all began:

Some twisted spirit must have played a terrible trick that day, as the Canting Crew found themselves wandering about a strangely open field. The Man with a Duck on his Head, feeling rather more keen than the others, noticed that a larger number of people were staring at them than usual. Suddenly a stiff piece of pigskin fell into their midst, and they fell upon it with rapacious hunger. All but Foul Ole Ron, who waved his hands at assailants seen and unseen alike, and seemed somehow to keep them away. His Smell, enthused by the squabble, ruined more than one uniform that day.

After a seemingly interminable bout of noise and fuss during which the Crew had many things thrown at them that they promptly ate or stuffed in their pockets "for afters", a man appeared with a bag of coin, which he held, hesitating for a moment, before handing to them. "Well, you didn't win," says he, "...but the fans enjoyed the show, so here's your take."

The Crew had never seen such riches. They promptly buried bits of it in dozens of separate places, whereupon most of it was found and re-buried by a squirrel that was, oddly enough, named dibblsqueak. What little they were able to find later kept them in day-old beer and stale pretzels, and in an uncharacteristic burst of inspiration they decided to wander back to the pitch from time to time to see if it would happen again.

Good times!

(NOTE: Though they themselves are unaware of it, the Canting Crew are members of DIBBL!)
