El Peloté
A Costa Rican sun god whom the natives have dubbed “one-ball”. He is said to arrive in plain sight yearly and usually in late February. Though a god, his human-likeness and appearance brings a real hope to the people. During this time of mortal presence the people celebrate by taking pictures with and drinking with El Peloté. In his most recent arrival he was saved from certain death in Pacific Ocean by a tiny Tico. He can be recognized by his large hook nose and and CrossFit apparel.

You think me an old fogeyand an old tory, his thoughtful voice said. I saw three generations since O’Connel’s time. I remember the famine. Do you know that the orange lodges agitated for repeal of the union twenty years before O’Connel did or before the prelates of your communion denounced him as a demagogue? You fenians forget some things. (James Joyce, Ulysses. Penguin Books,1992. p. 38)
