The Clash

7-7-77.
I was 17 and looking for a place to burn. Cause I was on fire. I was angry and didn’t know it. I had a mean streak. It had a skunk like quality to my meaness.  I could stink up a room. I could make regular people upset, but my friends thought I was funny… or I thought they thought I was funny. I don’t know. Maybe we were all stuck together because we grew up together and we were stuck…
Stuck in the back of the refridgerator, in a tupperware container. Fuck. we were like spoiled food in the back of the refridgerator that you forget about, and then when you remember, you don’t want to deal with that rot. Yeah, we were rot. 17 year old rot in 1977. Stuck in our own stink.

We loved our rot. we loved our stink… Me, Bingo, Evil Eyes Pinky, the Gooseman, Joey Bonanza, and about fifty kids on the park in Flushing. Drinking rot gut. We ruled the streets at night. We put the plastic people back in their homes with the doors locked tight at night. We were ghouls running the wax museum and it was melting. If you looked through the windows of homes, we would see skeletial bones made of gelatin and everybody was wobbling when we were around. Hey, Gelatin… What’s shaking…
And we were around, every night except when we were celebrating New Year’s Eve. We celebrated New Year’s Eve every Friday night at Gooseman’s apartment. He was 17 and living on his own. Shit apartment off of Northern Boulevard in factory land in Flushing. We could make noise and we did. We put on party hats and forgot about going home.
The lights were dim and we were dimwits…
We were emerging…. We were using up a lot of juice and burning the sockets. You could hear the fritzing out of the socket. We were emerging from shit. We were a creation, not unlike Frankenstein’s monster. Someone had to pay, and you best get the fuck out of the way. Fire would be left on the road behind us.

Our Party hats were starting to look shabby. This was like our 26th New Year’s bash of the year. Vomit, grease, scum on our party hats… and oh yeah, we brought sand from the beach and covered Gooseman’s apartment in sand one night, so we could have a beach party. We used our hats to build sand castles.  Confetti was all in the sand. The Guy Lombardo record was fucked too. Somebody used the record as a cutting board and there was cheese and a melted piece of pepperoni adhered to the record. It just would not come off. We played the record anyway.

Joey Bonanza would steal cases of champagne every Friday, and Bingo and I would shake the bottles up and pretend the Mets had just won the World Series. Pretend and make believe. You Gotta pretend and make believe. Everybody, had a bottle of their own except for Joey. As the eldest, he was 20, the Doctors already told him, his liver was only good with smothered onions. He’d been drinking since he was 12. So, Joey Bonanza was sitting on the sand, which covered a splintered floor. He sucked on M&M’s which were laced with Acid or something else.
“The M&M’s melting in your head and not your hands,” I said to Joey.
Four girls dragged Joey to a wall, and took off his cowboy hat. They began taping his long hair to the wall. It looked cool. Joey would eventually pay for his art.
Some new girl I never saw before held the tape dispenser and was giggling. She was a good six feet tall in her kick ass boots.
Wow. She had a paper clip dangling from her lower lip.
“You must be from the city,” I said.
“How can you tell?”
“The paper clip is very white collar. We’re all blue collar fools here.”
“Are you against the paper clip.?”
“Not by any means of the imagination,” I said. “When I say we’re blue collar here. I mean we have one foot in the grave. I might be able to use that paper clip to dig out of the grave.”
We talked. Her name was Slinky and she was… Slinky and Six foot solid. Cute little breasts. Model. Next year’s Model.

Gooseman prepared fried chicken in the hot apartment. He threw 100 wings into a garbage bag. then he cracked a dozen eggs and threw them into the garbage bag. He shook the bag. Then he opened up two containers of bread crumbs and tossed that into the bag. Again, he shook the bag. Then he opened up the oven and threw the contents into three metal tins which had oil smoking on it. It was not a pretty scene. Very blob like pouring out of the garbage bag. We all waited for dinner.
Bingo said, Do the abortion joke Squid.” I was known as Squid Liquid back then. Gooseman, named me Squid Liquid because he said I was hard to read sometimes. He said, I shot black ink in front of my face. He said I was like my dad the mob guy. You didn’t know what he was thinking and he didn’t know what I was thinking.
The girl Slinky had her arms folded and said, “Yeah, Squid do the Abortion joke.” She looked pissed.
“I don’t think you really want me to do the abortion joke,” I said to Slinky.
“What are you chicken?” Joey Bonanza said  with his head of hair still taped to the wall.
The party started clucking in my direction. Then simutaneously they turned to me and asked,” Squid, how does a chicken have an abortion?”
I cracked an egg against my head. Everybody started hooting and hollering.
Slinky went out the door. I chased after her with egg on my face.
“What does that mean?” she asked.
“What does what mean?”
“You know exactly what I mean. What does that joke mean?”
“The point of my joke doesn’t mean anything. Chickens do not have abortions. They are just not allowed to hatch all their eggs. It’s a forced abortion issue.” I walked back into the house.
The chicken was ready. I grabbed a piece. Hot and good. I seperated the bones and watched the steam come off of the meat.
“Crack another egg on your head,” Joey Bonanza said. “I love when you crack an egg on your head. That’s so ballsy.”
“Hey Joey, why don’t you find Hoss and ride off to the Pondarosa.”
Joey tried to get up but his head was really taped to the wall. About twenty of us watched Joey try to get unattached from the wall himself. Three girls came over with shears. The only way Joey was going to remove himself from  the wall was by cutting his hair. It was duct tape they used to pin him in the first place. They started to cut him down. Strands of long hair remained attached to the wall.
“I had this hair for six years, “Joey said and started crying. They cut him down and he looked at the circle of hair which remained on the wall.
After a minute of everybody staring at the hair attached to the wall Joey said,”Classic.” That hair would remain there for years.

All through our rituals, Evil Eyes Pinky was playing records. She was the one going into Manhattan to Bleeker Bob’s and picking up these Punk 45’s. She loved her glam too. She played Bang a Gong and she loved Cheap Trick. She played Surrender about every 15 minutes. The tall girl worked in Bleeker Bob’s even though he hated girls. I guess she had a look with that paper clip
“Mommy’s alright, Daddy’s alright,
they just seem a little weird,
Surrender, surrender
But don’t give yourself away.”
“Joey admiring his haircut in a mirror said, “Please stop singing and playing that song. You’re freaking me out.”
He walked over to the wall and touched his long hair. I could see he was considering  reattaching his hair back to his head, “I need some air,” he said.
The M&M’s were getting to him. He stepped out.
Evil Eyes Pinky and the new girl Slinky were dancing around a pile of chicken bones on a sand bank.
Evil was cute in her rainbow icy mohawk. Her baby fat jiggled. Her big tits bounced up and down keeping the beat. Her big smile turning to grimaces as she kept dancing around the chicken bones. She had big puckered lips and she started braying like a horse. Running, jumping, arms akimbo, splitting legs, slipping on the sand.
Joey ran back into the apartment and made a dash for the record player in a frantic manner. Evil Eyes tackled Joey and they struggled for a moment and then started making out.
Evil Eyes Pinky gave Joey the hairy eyeball.
“No, no, don’t give me the hairy eyeball. I love Cheap Trick  but mostly I love you.”
They continued to roll on the sand and on the chicken wings and continued to make out.
Slinky walked over to me,”This is a fun party. Evil Eyes is a funny girl.”
“New Year’s is always fun,” I said.”Evil Eyes is one of my best friends. We’ve known each other since we were kids.”
Other couples were fooling around.
“Let’s get out of here,”  Slinky said.
“Let’s,”  I said.
She grabbed my hand as we walked out the door. Bingo came running after us, “Hey, where are you guys going?”
“We’re going for a walk.”
“Good, I’ll come with. Let’s walk over to Shea?”
“I don’t want to go to Shea, I said. I tried to think of a way to shoo Bingo away but with no luck. Fuck it. He can come for the walk, “O.K. let’s take her to Shea,” I said.
“Bingo,” Bingo said. He was such a happy Puerto Rican punk.
What’s Shea? A Punk club.”
“Definately,” I said. Me and Bingo laughed.
Shea was where the Mets played and it was only a half a mile from  Gooseman’s apartment. It was in Flushing Meadow Park, right behind The Queens Botanical Gardens. We hopped the metal fence and smelled the flowers. Bingo had a little flashlight with him. He always carried one, just in case there was a black out.
“Evil Eyes tells me you’re a Jewboy.”
“He’s a crazy Jewboy,” Bingo said. “Alot of punks are Jewboys. The Ramones are Jews. They’re from over there. He pointed to Forest Hills and Rego Park. The Dictators are from over there. He pointed North to the Bronx.”
“Shut-up Bingo. The girl didn’t say there was anything wrong with me being Jewish. Did you?” I asked.
“No, I’m a Mid-Western Jew girl. I’m starting Columbia in the Fall.”
“You’re going to Central America.” Bingo started talking very fast in Spanish to her.
“I think she meant the University, you dope.”
I wanted to cry. I don’t know why. I said,” I just want to learn how to be,” I mumbled. I really didn’t know why I felt vulnerable with this Amazon from the cornfields or where ever she was from. Suddenly, I was glad Bingo was with us.

We walked to a park bench with a lot of kids on it. They were listening to Devo on a cassette player by the big sculpture of the globe in the old World’s Fair Park. They were smoking weed and were surrounding another kid. Bingo who is only a little bigger than five foot 4 inchesand he tried jumping to see what was happeningover the crowd. When, I saw who it was that had a steak on her eye, I cut through the kids.
“What happened to you,” I said to Savage.
“She took off the steak which was on her eye, either to see who was talking to her or to show me her black eye.”
“Come on ,” I said. You’re not going back to that house till I talk to that cocksucker.
“Where are you taking me.”
“It’s New Year’s at Gooseman’s”
“Oh, fuck. I forgot it was Friday.”

Savage was one of my best friends. Her dad died when she was 8. Then her mom remarried. Then her mom died when she was 15. Now, her step dad didn’t like the way she was dressing and didn’t like the music she liked and my father’s mob blood was boiling in me. I was going to do something sick. I had to think. “Stay calm. You can straighten him out. You don’t have to ask your dad for a favor. You can do this yourself.”
Fuck if I knew what to do but no one was going to hit Savage. My sweet friend was not going to feel unsafe in her own home. Not that I felt safe in my own home but at least my asshole dad never hit me. He let me get hurt. He could have prevented things from happening. He let me get beat up on occassions but he never hit me.

I dropped Savage at  Gooseman’s. The party was winding down. I had a plan. Savage’s dad was a cop and he would have a gun in his home but I didn’t give a shit. I was too young to give a shit. Sweet Lucy was hit by a monster. She had no mommy, she had no daddy. She had this monster in her home. Her home. Fucked families for miles around. Fuck. So many sad miserable people, mistreating their kids. Broken down. Broken. Broke… Fucked.
Who the fuck did I think I was?.. Sweet little Lucy with a black eye and her dead mom with a black eye. Fucker had to pay and he was a cop. Could have gotten my crooked mobbed up dad to do something. Then I’ll owe him something. I can angle this. I grew up with that madman. I got it
“Joey, you got your sledgehammer in the back of your pick-up?”
“Where else would it be?”
“You got your ski mask?”
“Where else would it be?”
“Let’s go.
“Go. I can’t go anywhere. I’m high man. I feel like a midget going up the assshole of the Jolly Green Giant.”
“You’re driving. Let’s go.”
“I can’t drive. I’m really high. I’m looking for undigested peas up the Jolly Green Giant’s ass. I need snacks.”
“I’ll drive,” Slinky said.
“You’re not involved.” I said.
“Not yet,” she said.

As we were leaving Bingo said,”You want me to come.?”
I could see he was nervous. Nah, stay here with Savage and keep her company.
“Bingo,” Bingo said.

“Here we are, come to a sudden screeching stop. I got out of the pickup and made alot of noise. The sun was coming up. New Year’s was ending. I got the sledgehammer and limped to the fuckers car. I don’t know  what kind it was. Nothing new or valuable. I smashed the front window of the car out with the sledgehammer. The lights to his bedroom went on. I saw him looking at me with my ski mask on. He pointed the barrel of the gun at me.
“Do you know me?” I asked. “Do you want to see my face?” I smashed another window of the car out. Do you really want to see my face! Think about it buddy.” I knocked out a headlight. Am I here by myself. I smashed the rear window out.
“I don’t want to do this but I was hired to do this. If you want to see my face let me know.”
I pretended to take off my mask. I saw the cop lower his gun and then shut off the lights.
“Leave Lucy alone. Sell the house and give her half the money. I don’t want to come back.”
I turned around and limped back to the pick-up very slowly. I threw the sledgehammer in the back.
“Drive away very slowly,” I said to Slinky.
“Yes sir. Where’d you learn that.”
“I’m fourth generation Jewish Mob on my father’s side. I know things, I don’t even want to know.”

We got to Gooseman’s and they broiled the steak that was on Savage’s eye.
“You can go back home today. Your asshole step- dad will never bother you again. I’m pretty sure. He’s going to sell the house and give you half the money.
Savage gave me a hug, “You want a piece of steak?”
“Wasn’t that in your freezer since you were a kid. Didn’t you mom defrost that over her black eyes and then refreeze that. Isn’t that like ten years old of freezing and then refreezing?
“Maybe,” Savage said.
“Fuck,” Bingo said as he swallowed a piece of  steak with ketchup on it.
The End

Slinky and I dated for three months. I still talk to her. Nobody died from the steak. Bingo threw up just in case.

Doppleganged On The Side Of My Head

Alot of people are asking me what happened on that plane? How can an entire plane be taken over by  mob guys, including the pilot? How was it possible to pass metal detectors with guns and 100 grand in counterfeit money ?
Not now.
Gotta tell you something else…

I woke up from my blackout on a stage of what I thought was a strip-club. I was in my underwear. I smelled something funky and I realized I vomited on myself and then there was this other hot breath
I was in Vegas, I began to remember that I needed to run…
A lion was on the stage roaring at my ass. A contortionist, contorted my body into a pretzel, and then wiggled her body… into a pretzel too. The lion came over and sniffed our asses
Out of the corner of my eye, with my chin pressed against my chest, I could see my father and the rest of the crew, laughing and applauding, as an entire bunch of look-a-likes took their bows.
The look-a-like Liberace took the microphone, Let’s have a great big hand for a real sport, “Dat Larry de Junkman.”
A bunch of the look-a-likes got me up. The lion was removed from the stage and despite the vomit on my chin, the skinny contortionist kissed me on the cheek.
They wrapped a dirty blanket around me and brought me over to my dad, the crew and some other crew of obvious Vegas mobsters.
“Your son’s got some balls,” some mobster said as I got pats on the back that hurt.
Apparently, I stuck my head in that lion’s mouth on my own. I vomited in it’s mouth. Man that lion had gingavitus. I wanted to cut my head off and throw it in a washing machine.
“Let’s get you cleaned up. There’s a bunch of guys who want to meet you. You’re making quite a name for yourself in Vegas.”
“How long have we been here?”
“About 45 minutes. You started drinking on the plane. I’ve actually never seen you drink.”
“I may never drink again. Where are my clothes?”
“You threw it out of the limo, when you saw the Strip,” Bingo said.
“So, I have no clothes?”
“Bingo,” Bingo said.
My father said,”He don’t need clothes where we are going.”
“Where are we going.”
“The back room.”

We were in a club called Imposters. It was my Aunt Mina’s bar club in Vegas. Reject acts from Cirque Du Soleil, sick animals,and famous people’s doubles performed here.
Ah double’s and dopplegangers. My Aunt must have found my father’s doppleganger or that’s what I thought must be why we were in this flashy dive off the strip.
My Aunt Mina almost came to give me a hug and then smelled me, “Let’s get you cleaned up. I heard you threw your clothes out the window. You don’t really need clothes in Vegas but you do need pockets. I found some plain clown clothes for you for now.
“Great,” I said and headed for the back room where all the gangsters were already naked with their fat hairy bodies taking a schvitz.

Counterreiter’s Motto: To Make Money, You Gotta Make Money

“I’m not going on that plane, with this gun in my pocket.” I told my dad and tried handing him back the 44.
“Son, it’s o.k. I wouldn’t ask you to hold that gun except that I’m already loaded with weapons. He opened his briefcase. It was filled with cash and two weapons.
I looked at the briefcase and shook my head, “You know, we live in stressful times. You could end up in a nice Hotel in on Guantanomo Bay, with all this money and guns. We are about to board a plane.”
“Fine,” my father said. “Throw the weapon in the briefcase. You can carry it, after we go through security.

When the briefcase was placed on the conveyor belt, I expected Homeland Security to fall from the sky after the buzzers and flashes went off. I half expected it  too look like a gameshow after someone wins the jackpot. Damn, I put my fingers in my ears as the briefcase went through the x-ray…
Nothing. My father picked up his loaded briefcase and we boarded the plane.
We sat down in first class,”I don’t get it,” I said. “You could have just walked in with a bomb and they would have let you on.”
“I’m sure there’s a bomb on the plane.” my father said.
I looked around nervously at all the passengers heading to Hell, I mean Vegas.
My father laughed, “Arms Dealers, still need to travel with weapons.”
“Dad, fill me in on everything you know?”
“About what?”
“About everything you know, that won’t get me arrested.”
“Everything that I used to do is illegal and now everything I do is legal.”
“You went legitimate?” I asked him shocked.
“Are you crazy? No, my teams of lawyers, just made everything I did legal. It cost some money, but now if I want to kill someone, it’s legal. If I want to spread counerfeit money, that’s legal. All the money in the suitcase is counterfeit. The old counterfeiter’s motto: ‘To make money, you gotta make money.’ ” My father laughed.
“I must say,” I said. “You are like Dad light.”
“That’s the medication. What are you on?”
“Me? I’m not on anything. You taught me to hate drugs remember. I was five years old and you would take me to sit and watch Junkies scoring drugs. You made the junkies tell me their stories and then you gave them enough money to score dope and kill themselves.”
“The good ole days,” my father reminisced. “Drugs are where we are right now. Pharmaceutical drugs are just taking off. If you’re not on something, you are going to fall out of step with the rest of the country.
Just then an Airline attendant came over to me, “The Pilot of the plane, would like to speak to you.”
“Me?”
“Yes, he says he’s an old friend of yours.”
“Of mine? Not my dad.”
“Oh yes,” the attendant turned to my dad. “Bingo says thanks for the opportunity to fly the plane.”
I started unsnapping the belt, “Bingo can’t fly a plane. I don’t think he’s ever been on a plane.”
“Sir, calm down or you’ll be asked to leave this plane.”
I started running for the emergency doors, “Bingo and I go back to childhood. He hates planes. We all have to get off and think about things before we go any further here.”
Bingo came out of the cockpit with a wry smile on his face. He was dressed as a Pilot.
I felt no blood in my feet. Both legs were falling asleep. Then I felt a thumping in my head, as if I were being strangled.
Bingo came over to me and said, “It’s me Bingo.”
The passengers looked a little concerned.
“It’s alright folks, this is my Co-pilot and he hasn’t had his medication today.”
The passengers seemed to nod and understand.
Bingo reached into his fancy pants, with his hand which was wearing a fancy jacket and said, “Take this blue and orange pill.
“It’s the color of the Mets.”
“Bingo,” Bingo said.
“What is it?
“It’s an… I’m not sure. I take it in late innings of close Met Games.”
“It’s about time, they made a close game pill.” I was still trying to get out the emergency exit. I was stalling. If I could jump, I would.
“Better step into the Office,” Bingo said. He pointed to the Cockpit.
I started to calm down. I did not take the pill. I wanted to save it for the Mets Series with Philidelphia next week. I walked to the cockpit.
The cockpit had three guys in it besides me and Bingo.
“Louis, Max, Hershel, what are you guys doing here.”
“We’re all flying the plane,” they said together.
“None of you has flown since Korea.”
“I go to Florida, every February,” Louis said.
“Me too,” said Max and Hershel. They were twins.”
“Bingo.” said Bingo.
I sat down. This was going to be an interesting flight. I almost took the blue and orange pill but I knew I’d really need it for the Philadelphia series.

END PART III

Zombie Detective Part II

Category: Religion and Philosophy My funeral was awesome. I can still feel the bubbles of champagne fizzing in my head… No… That’s the zombie poison fizzing, turning my brains to mush. So, if I can eat your brain now… Wait… I just ate brain at this funeral… My funeral…. Whose brains did I eat?… Brain matter in my pocket. I guess for a snack for later… Did I find my killer? Who cares? Hahaha… hahaha.
I jiggled the brains in my hands like dice or like evidence. I put it back in my Armani suitjacket pocket.
Wait, did I put this long needle through my ear?… Oh, it helped me think. I’m doing much better with the needle lodged in my head. I can control alot of my thoughts… Old Zombie trick. Gotta hand it to the internet. Zombies are on it, helping explain their plight. We are victims, not that I’m complaining. My life as a Zombie, I mean my death… My stuck status of being a part of the walking dead, has been nothing but positive. Whereas, my living life was shit.

Dead or in limbo as alot of people called it at my funeral is a colorful experience. Almost like tripping. I’m dead, my heart is not pumping blood, yet all my senses are heightened. I look and sound like a drooling Zombie, but inside there’s alot more going on… But I bore a hole in your chest, and snap your back like cracking a lobster shell. Let me tell what I remember of my good time funeral… I meat.. I mean, am I boring you? You want answers? You want to know if I figured out who killed me and if I sought revenge.

I ran a Talent Agency in Hollywood, so alot of people were after me. You know, I ripped people off. They blew me, and then I fucked them… It makes me nauseous when I think of the horrible things I did to people. Somehow, ripping someone’s head off and scooping out their brains was nicer than what I did when I was living… I wasn’t all bad. Yes, yes I was. I had alot of friends… Good close friends. As long as we all knew we were trying to get over on each other, fucking each other over was not a problem. It wasn’t personal, it wasn’t business either, it was what we liked to do. Keep it real. Keep it real fucked. Ah! That’s where it was at. Climb higher, up the ladder before you can dive into the shallow end of the pool. Whoever, could climb higher, into the shallowest end of the pool, won….
Damn, I remember whose brains I ate. Three cops. Three cops brains. I killed three cops and ate their brains at the funeral. Damn, now cops were going to be looking for me. Wait, I hid their bodies in Coffins.
Damn, nice cops too. I should have just bitten them. Wait, I did just bite one. So, I ate two brains and bit a cop. He’ll be all Zombie in a minute. I hope he’s not too pissed. I realized, I could use a Zombie cop on the force to help with my own investigation of my murder.

Alot of talent at this funeral. Everybody, exchanging e-mails and saying goodbye to me. They asked if I could hop in the coffin and I did. They nailed the coffin shut and left me in there for two hours. Everybody thought it was a hoot… Hahaha. Hahaha.
Wait… That’s where I am right now. That’s why it’s so dark…
They open the coffin and I end up in the present… I mean I am the present to the people. Now, everybody says that I am the talent… Zombies are hot right now. I could make a killing.
“Chloe, I am looking for my killer,” I said.
“If every killer got caught, there’d be no parents.”
“K.O.,” I said. She just became my prime suspect.
Christopher was taking photo’s, “You won’t believe the great shots, I got today. It’s kind of a messy funeral parlor though. I just found two guys laying around in the back. You’d think they’d be in bags…
Do you think you could rip your own dick off and I’d get it on film. That would make quite a sensation.
Christopher was not a suspect anymore, “Thanks for coming and sure I’ll call you when I’m ready to rip my dick off of my body. I need the photo’s of everyone here today. Did you get everyone.
“All except the three cops, they must have taken off.”
“Yeah took off.” “Took off the planet,” I thought to myself. All except my Zombie Cop. Where did he go.I’d need my inside man.

A bunch of Cartoonists were fighting. Cliff was duking it out with Mort. Tony was fighting with Hellman. I walked over to them.
“Everything all right with you fella’s?”
Cliff pointed to Mort, “Do me a favor and eat his brains.”
Mortt said, ” Rip off all his limps, and let him spend eternity spinning in circles.”
“Why are you guys fighting?
“We all want to do the same story about you.”
“Thanks,” I said. “Carry on.” They began fighting. Later I would eat their brains,” I thought.
Uh, here comes a real suspect…

Wait… That’s where I am right now. That’s why it’s so dark…
They open the coffin and I end up in the present… I mean I am the present to the people. Now, everybody says that I am the talent… Zombies are hot right now. I could make a killing.
“Chloe, I am looking for my killer,” I said.
“If every killer got caught, there’d be no parents.”
“K.O.,” I said. She just became my prime suspect.
Christopher was taking photo’s, “You won’t believe the great shots, I got today. It’s kind of a messy funeral parlor though. I just found two guys laying around in the back. You’d think they’d be in bags…
Do you think you could rip your own dick off and I’d get it on film. That would make quite a sensation.
Christopher was not a suspect anymore, “Thanks for coming and sure I’ll call you when I’m ready to rip my dick off of my body. I need the photo’s of everyone here today. Did you get everyone.
“All except the three cops, they must have taken off.”
“Yeah took off.” “Took off the planet,” I thought to myself. All except my Zombie Cop. Where did he go.I’d need my inside man.

A bunch of Cartoonists were fighting. Cliff was duking it out with Mort. Tony was fighting with Hellman. I walked over to them.
“Everything all right with you fella’s?”
Cliff pointed to Mort, “Do me a favor and eat his brains.”
Mortt said, ” Rip off all his limps, and let him spend eternity spinning in circles.”
“Why are you guys fighting?
“We all want to do the same story about you.”
“Thanks,” I said. “Carry on.” They began fighting. Later I would eat their brains,” I thought.
Uh, here comes a real suspect…

Doppleganged On The Side Of My Head

Dopple Ganged On The Side Of My Head
Category: Jobs, Work, Careers

Dawn asked, “So who do you have to kill?”
“It’s much more complicated than that.”
“Does it pay? We need to generate more money. Your dying junkstore business is wiping us out.”
“Hey, the store is doing good, Ebay is good, Amazon is good, what could be bad?
“Our bank account is bad. We overdrew last month.
“How is that possible?”
“Maybe if you weren’t running around with your family so much, we could get some stuff at the store done. Or, if you took more care of the kids, I could get in there and take care of the clothes at the store.
“O.K.,” I said. This week I’ll take care of the kids and you go take care of the store.”

I dragged this poor lady into this business. Dawn came from Brooklyn Politicians and Lawyers and my family is the crazy Holocaust family and mobsters. You should have been at the wedding… Dawn’s family is handing out business cards and my family is showing off little weapons to each other. Both the Holocaust victims and the Mobsters. Exchanging wit, I called it. A lawyer handed two guys playing with knives a business card and the Holocaust relative, Uncle Moe, showed how during the war he took out a Nazi with a business card. Sharp wits. Oy!

I do alright in the junk business, but just alright. Years of toil, and I have nothing to show for it, except a sore body. I load and unload trucks, sort through the debris, and determine what will sell on Ebay, what will go in the store and what is garbage. Over 50% is garbage. I work everyday. Every day! I love what I do but…

I am a caveman in a dinosaur business. Why did thrift stores go down? Ebay has alot to do with it. People used to hunt for stuff. They used to get up at 4 in the morning and go to flea markets, in search of their religion. By religion, I mean their collecting passions. Collectors need their fix. Ebay is your drug dealer dropping by your fix. So, alot of people stay home.They never need to leave. God delivers to your doorstep. Choose your religion and UPS delivers.

So, the collectors are sniping each other to get closer to God, and young people don’t all understand what stuff is.. so,…
They know what their computers and ipods are. They know they have a disc with 2000 books on it, if they ever have to read. They download the latest movies off the internet and they know if any of their electronics breaks, they can just buy it new with plastic for relatively cheap.
So, most and I say most because I still do have young customers,  but most,don’t need or understand my store. To them, I am selling stuff that is garbage and if they came into my store, it would be beneath them even if they’re broke and needed a quality dresser that would outlive them. A stick of furniture that would outlive them and outlive their kids and their kid’s kids. But they aren’t thinking about kid’s kids. So they go to Ikea and next year it will break and they’ll buy another piece of shit. That’s cause they’re kids and…

It’s amazing how ego’s can get in the way of your of life. I’m always excited to help an artist or musician find the material they will use in their art. My store holds a lot of raw material that then will be on the internet. I’ve been doing this for twenty years and I’ve seen alot of fresh faces come into my store and use the materials I have and now their work is in museums and in CD stores. Some people get it and then they reap the rewards. Others live with no future at the Mall in their head. And man does that mall echo.
I’m not bitter about people. People do the best they can. Some just plain don’t get it. What are you going to do…
Close up shop and only sell on the internet is an option. I am a hands on person.
Damn. I will do whatever I have to, in order to keep my family fed with a roof over their head, even if it means closing up shop and going to work for my dad in his mob world. Damn.

“So, what’s the job?” Dawn asked again.
“I’m too embarrassed to tell you.” I picked up the three month old boy  and made faces at him.
“What’s the pay.”
“A hundred grand.”
” A hundred grand? Your cheap ass mobster father is going to give you a hundred thousand dollars.”
She repeated a hundred thousand dollars, as if it might be something other than dollars. Hundred thousand pebbles from the beach. A hundred thousand  paper bags for the store. A hundred thousand pieces of shit to sell at the store.
“A hundred thousand dollars in cash to be delivered when I find my
father’s doppleganger.”
A fight ensued. My wife won. She always wins the fight. Usually, it’s because she’s right. Sometimes, it’s because she grew up in a household of lawyers and politicians. Bottom line, she’s smarter  than I am and she knows how to debate.
We agreed that my father’s crazy notion of looking for his doppleganger could take years and that it would best get an hourly rate. Say, 40 dollars an hour…
Just then, my father called. How’s that for serendipity. My father called, and I could tell him my new idea of how I would like to be paid. 40 an hour and ten thousand extra upon finding my father’s doppleganger.
As soon as I got on, I made my demands, “Dad, it could take me 10 years to find your doppleganger. Instead, of giving me a hundred grand in one shot, I’d like 40 bucks an hour and if I don’t exceed a hundred grand, I’d like ten thousand bonus…”
Dawn patted me on the back,”Good job,” she whispered.
“That’s fine for you.” I smiled to Dawn
Then my jaw dropped and I hung up the phone.
Dawn looked at me perplexed, “What’s wrong? You negotiated better than I would have. That bonus idea was great.”
“I have to pack my bags. My dad’s picking me up and we’re flying to Vegas. My Aunt Mina in Vegas, the talent scout, thinks she ran into my father’s doppleganger. We’re leaving tonight. This whole case may only take a few hours. We just lost out on a hundred grand. Maybe it’ ll take a couple of hours and I’ll make a couple of hundred dollars , instead of a hundred grand. What did we just do?”
“You shouldn’t have changed the deal around. Always, stick with the original deal.”
We packed in silence. I felt like I lost my wallet

Zombie Detective Part II

Zombie Detective :The Funeral Part II
Category: Religion and Philosophy

My funeral was awesome. I can still feel the bubbles of champagne fizzing in my head… No… That’s the zombie poison fizzing, turning my brains to mush. So, if I can eat your brain now… Wait… I just ate brain at this funeral… My funeral…. Whose brains did I eat?… Brain matter in my pocket. I guess for a snack for later… Did I find my killer? Who cares? Hahaha… hahaha.
I jiggled the brains in my hands like dice or like evidence. I put it back in my Armani suitjacket pocket.
Wait, did I put this long needle through my ear?… Oh, it helped me think. I’m doing much better with the needle lodged in my head. I can control alot of my thoughts… Old Zombie trick. Gotta hand it to the internet. Zombies are on it, helping explain their plight. We are victims, not that I’m complaining. My life as a Zombie, I mean my death… My stuck status of being a part of the walking dead, has been nothing but positive. Whereas, my living life was shit.

Dead or in limbo as alot of people called it at my funeral is a colorful experience. Almost like tripping. I’m dead, my heart is not pumping blood, yet all my senses are heightened. I look and sound like a drooling Zombie, but inside there’s alot more going on… But I bore a hole in your chest, and snap your back like cracking a lobster shell. Let me tell what I remember of my good time funeral… I meat.. I mean, am I boring you? You want answers? You want to know if I figured out who killed me and if I sought revenge.

I ran a Talent Agency in Hollywood, so alot of people were after me. You know, I ripped people off. They blew me, and then I fucked them… It makes me nauseous when I think of the horrible things I did to people. Somehow, ripping someone’s head off and scooping out their brains was nicer than what I did when I was living… I wasn’t all bad. Yes, yes I was. I had alot of friends… Good close friends. As long as we all knew we were trying to get over on each other, fucking each other over was not a problem. It wasn’t personal, it wasn’t business either, it was what we liked to do. Keep it real. Keep it real fucked. Ah! That’s where it was at. Climb higher, up the ladder before you can dive into the shallow end of the pool. Whoever, could climb higher, into the shallowest end of the pool, won….
Damn, I remember whose brains I ate. Three cops. Three cops brains. I killed three cops and ate their brains at the funeral. Damn, now cops were going to be looking for me. Wait, I hid their bodies in Coffins.
Damn, nice cops too. I should have just bitten them. Wait, I did just bite one. So, I ate two brains and bit a cop. He’ll be all Zombie in a minute. I hope he’s not too pissed. I realized, I could use a Zombie cop on the force to help with my own investigation of my murder.

Alot of talent at this funeral. Everybody, exchanging e-mails and saying goodbye to me. They asked if I could hop in the coffin and I did. They nailed the coffin shut and left me in there for two hours. Everybody thought it was a hoot… Hahaha. Hahaha.

Zombie Detective

Is the glass half full or half empty.
I spilled out the water and started chewing on the glass. It tasted like potato chips, the cheap kind. In fact, when I was still alive, my joke about cheap potato chips was that it tasted like sharp chards of glass. Ha ha. Now, I was eating glass. At least, I still had a bit of a sense of humor.The glass went down smooth.
I did not see the Zombie who got me coming. That’s because the Zombie took the form of a chihuahua. Got me right on the ankle. Little Fucker. Usually, Chihuahua’s will let you know they’re there. Not if it is a Zombie. Damn. Quiet and confident.
Damn, what bad luck. I took precautions. I listened to the Government reports. They said Zombies are dangerous but they also said go about your business. Now, I was dead. I just didn’t see that little fucker coming up behind me. One little bite and I was dead.
I tried to remain positive. It’s part of my nature. So, I was a Zombie. Eventually, I would hunt humans and eat their brains. I would be doing them a favor, I thought. If possible, I’d only eat morons. Tons of morons.
Thinking was still possible, and I guess even though, my heart wasn’t beating blood anymore, and I could eat glass, I still felt human, as long as I could still think. I just wasn’t alive. There were all kinds of humans who took delight in sticking firecrackers in Zombie’s heads and blowing us up. Not nice.
I must say sometimes, I wanted to kill Zombies. Zombie killers were seen as heroes. I guess the same way your butcher is a kind of hero for cutting up your meats. I mean, eventually all humans would be able to kill in order to survive, it’s in our nature… I mean their nature. I’m not used to being dead yet and I’m not all Zombie yet. It takes about a week to stiffen up and be driven by one goal of wanting to exclusively eat brains. Verbal stuff goes,but you have thoughts for a week before… What was I saying. Hahaha.
Truthfully, it’s not much different then who I was when I was alive. I mean, I never wanted to eat brains before. I meat, I mean, I mean when I was human I also lived by being driven by one goal. I didn’t know exactly what that goal was but I was driven by what all the other humans seemed to be driven by… I have no idea what I meat. I mean, I mean, let me tell you what I was.
My name is Robin Blanks… I mean my name was Robin Blands. No, it was Robin Banks… No, I used to rob banks… No. I was a Computer Hacker… robbing bands. Rubber Bands. I have a rubber hand. That’s true. If the chihuahua would have bitten my hand. I would still be human…
Let me try again. My  name is Robin Hood. No… I wanted to be Robin Hood when I was a kid. When I grew up, I started robbing banks with computers. Now, I’m rich and part of the one percent. One percent dead… No, I was one percent rich. Now, I am dead… Also one percent only. We are a growing population. Will you count the animal Zombies. So.I was in the one percentile of the wealthiest, and now one percent of the sorry ass Zombie battallion. Wait, the animals are growing in Zombie population. You gotta watch the chihuahua’s. Hahaha,hahaha.
Wait, how did the chihuhua get into my fortress. I live in a mansion with camera’s and security. Oh… I get it now. I was murdered. Damn. Get my lawyer. No, that cock will eat my brains like he always does and take everything from me…
Get my trophy. No, she is in Haiti. Hahaha hahaha. Haiti zombies! Hahaha hahaha.
She is making some movie, I am producing… Wait it is a Zombie movie. Hahaha.There’s alot of funny stuff when you’re dead but still thinking.
So, my jaw is getting stiff. Who am I? Was I? Who was I?
Robin Blake. No… If I could just eat your brains, I’m sure I would remember. Robin Blanks. Yes… Yes… and I am part of a different one percent now. I am still special. I was special alive and I am special dead. Who else can go to their own funeral. Damn, I was lucky. Live fast,die young but still linger around. Nice. Just like a true cocksucker. I was going to have a funeral too. You’ll see. You’ll be there if I invite you.
I felt pretty good too. Happier than I’ve ever been. Calm. Serenity. I had none of these things when I was alive. I had wealth and could get my dick sucked by anyone I wanted. Everybody wanted to suck my dick one way or a deader. I mean one way or another. Holder of my semen could mean big bucks.
You know, I wasn’t such a nice guy. I feel luckier that I’m deader. A double header. A double deader. I was dead when I was alive and now that I’m double deader, I feel kind of alive. Hahaha,hahaha.
Whoever killed me did me a favor. I had to go thank them in person and suck their brain out their nose.
Damn, doesn’t it sound like my lawyer and my wife dud me in. I mean did me in. No, they dud me in. They wouldn’t need to kill me. I knew they were fucking. They knew that I knew they were fucking. They were diving in the shallow part of the pool. None of us knew or cared or thought anything meant much. The higher we dove into that shallow part of the pool, the better
No, somebody who loved me brought that chihuahua into the house. They killed me and turned me into a Zombie to make me happy. And happy, happy I was. I would have at least a week of happiness to find the person and eat their brains. No… Thank them.
What I really wanted to do was find out how this Zombie fad started. Some say Government. Already, there was Zombie recruitment for the Army. Some say, religious fanatics. Zombies were great for Sunday preaching. Some say, one crazy man. All say, from my one percent. Now, I was one percent of the richest and one percent of the wealthiest Zombies. I was wealthy because I was going to find out who made us Zombies and I would not eat his brain.  I will bite him on the ankle and make him happy. Hahaha,hahaha.
Come back for my funeral. Better wear boots… Hahaha.hahaha. If I invite you, you may be a suspect.

End Of Part I

Tomahawked By New York’s Brave Est Holes

The Braves were in town and Bingo and I decided to play hookey and sneak into Shea again. We’ve been sneaking into Shea for thirty years.
It’s easiest when the Mets are in a losing season but this was another Camp Day and as you can read in the blogs, Bingo and I were very successful last time. Last time, it wasn’t just Camp Day, John Travolta and Robin Williams were at the Stadium shooting a film and we got to meet them and hang out with them. I guess if you’re more interested in that story, you should go read it now. This Met story just involves Bingo singing like a human beat box and me shitting my pants.
“So, I don’t want to sneak in by being a Camper again, We did that a couple of weeks ago and John Travolta still thought that I was ten years old when we said goodbye after three hours of hanging out.”
“That’s cause you act like a ten year old.”
“Oh, and you act like what?”
“I’m the brains of this operation.”
“Well, that’s bullshit. I’ve gotten us in.”
“Yes, cause you’ve done whatever I said.”
Bingo’s Puerto Rican blood was beginning to boil, “I’m getting us in.”
“Go ahead,” I said. I turned on my boombox and Africa Bambaataa’s, Planet Rock was playing.
“Damn, that’s a good song.” I’m glad I brought the old summer tunes with me, even though this box is so heavy.”
“That’s it,” Bingo said.
“Oh no… What are you thinking.”
“We’re going back in time. We just need some cardboard.”
“No, not cardboard, we’re middle aged guys with kids. We can’t go on cardboard. I’m a fat guy. I could die.”
“After all these years of almost dying sneaking into games, you are going to listen to my way.”
He was totally right. We’ve been chased down by every govenment agency over the years. Once we were even shot at with a b-b gun. We have history. After 30 years, I had no choice but to listen to my partner in crime. Besides, I was really running out of ideas of sneaking into the game and we just pulled the camp councilor stunt a couple of weeks ago.

So Bingo was singing an out of tune beat box song by the Fat Boys and I was spinning on the cardboard outside the stadium by the gate.
Some kid turned to his councilor and said, “Is that fat man having a heart attack?”
“Yes,” said the councilor and blew his whistle to make all the kids go into the gate instead of watching our retro freak show.
Out of breath and shaped like a pretzel which would be taken off the conveyor belt at the factory and thrown away, I said,”Now what?”
Bingo said,”Bah,beh beh bah,” and kept up the human beat box.”
I’m not a religious man but I asked him for help.
You see in 1985, Bingo and I would kind of Beat Box and Blues Brothers for money in Washington Square Park.We’d do very well, but thirty years and a pound and a half extra every year and I was going to go like Belushi. I hope Bingo had a plan. A real plan and soon. I think I was going to shit my pants on top of everything else. Then I did. I shit my pants
Bingo made me keep going, “We’re almost in,” he whispered as Security came over to us.
Security smelled me and they spoke to each other, “These must be with the retards, the one brain said to the other.
“Fuck, let’s get them to their section.”
Bingo kept hitting his chest and making sort of beats. He was running out of gas too.
I was totally out of breath and couldn’t wait to throw my underwear out and wash my ass.
Security said, “Here you go guys.”
They dropped us off with a group of people who were sweet and had mental problems. I actually get along with people with mental problems and don’t even notice that they’re any different  than anyone else really. I  trully identify. I was actually pissed that Security used the word Retard. I would seek revenge at future games. These are the type of knuckleheads who Bingo and I hated in High School. They are the truly mental deficients.Bingo and I walked away to go to the bathroom. The leader of the people with mental problems looked at us and scratched his head.
I threw out my underwear and washed my ass, “That was your plan. To get us in as mental patients.”
“To tell you the truth, I thought Security would think we were part of some show for the Campers  and let us in. That is until you shit yourself.”
“Oh,” I said. “Not a bad plan. You were a little off on your beats.”
“I wasn’t off on my beats. You gotta lose some weight fat boy.”
We started yelling at each other and a cop came over to us and asked us if there was a problem.
“No problem occifer, ” I said. We just don’t understand all of Willie’s moves the last couple of weeks.”
The cop kind of recognized us. That was going to be a problem, Somewhere, there’s a picture of us with a most wanted and a reward attached to it in an office around here. The Cop said, “Let me see your tickets.”
Somehow Bingo started to talk to the guy about Landmark. Damn if I knew what was going on. Bingo said “Bingo” to the cop and slapped him on the back and took him out of the bathroom and handed him a card. The Cop smiled and said, “See you next week at the meeting.”
We went back to the mentally challenged kids and had a lot of laughs with them. We bought all twelve kids ice creams… We danced for them and they loved us. They loved my boom box and one kid wanted to hear Africa Bambaataa over and over.
There were other kids around us who were crying by the sixth inning because the Mets were losing to the Braves and it looked bad. I tried cheering themn up and reminded everyone who would listen that the Mets were still in first place. I told everyone the Mets were going to come back and to stay focused on the game. Stay focused… The Mets came back in the ninth inning but they lost. The mentally challenged kids were happy and so was I. We came back. We had ice cream on our faces and we had Africa Bambaataa. The regular kids had sour pusses on their face.

“Bingo, what’s Landmark and what the hell did you say to that Cop?”
My ex-wife made me go to this meeting and that dude was there. Landmark is like a continuation of Est.”
“Oh shit that dude was an Est-hole.”
“It’s probably because of people like you that they changed the name.”
“Landmark?… Not that funny, unless they got into real estate.”
“They’re into all kinds of shit. The goal is to bypass your emotions and go straight to the top.”
“That sounds kind of selfish,” I said
“Bingo,” Bingo said.
“Now they sound mentally challenged.”
“To each his own,” Bingo said.
“Yep, I had a good time with those mentally challenged kids. Good kids if you pay attention to them.”
“Bingo,” Bingo said. “It makes me proud that there is something wrong with us and we can find out about all kinds of people.”
“Bingo,” I said

Get Out Of Your Skull Part III

Got some rest. I feel refreshed.  For the rest of my life I will be running, but I feel good.
I made the papers by killing my compubot. So be it. I loved him but he had to go. It was like killing someone who was suffering and had  cancer. He would not be able to survive without being plugged in to me. He was me though. My better half? He was smarter than me. After all, he was the computer hooked into me since birth. He was definately me. When I killed him , he bled. That surprized me. I don’t think he really bled. I’ve read about this. It’s happened before. When men have killed their Compubots, they thought their machines bled. They began to think their better half was human. The Authorities, wanted us to call our Compubots “better halves”. I guess we were the lesser’s. The Lesser’s and the Better’s. I like that.

The papers portrayed me as a madman for killing my compubot. There was no mention that I removed the chip from above my nose, on my forehead. They mentioned I was armed and dangerous.
I laughed. I was only armed with body odor… If I needed to, I could shit and throw the shit at the Authorities. That was the extent of my arsenol. Oh, and I could piss on them, if they caught fire.
Oh, by the way, I am a madman. I’m very angry that I no longer have my Compubot. I no longer have my home. I have to get to  where all the other Lesser’s live, which is somewhere North of the city and I was scared to be without my Better. Damn, I wish I didn’t have to kill him. My Compubot took the form of a Monkey. He wasn’t just some external Hard Drive. He also exhibited my inhibitions. He was like a ventriloquist dummy. He said and did things which I didn’t know I was thinking. Now, I only had my thoughts stuck in my head, which beat very loudly. Every thought echoe’d. My Better used to handle that. Now, I was alone. Alone , with the beating in my head. Still, I thought it was kind of neat. Maybe, my Compubot was the Cancer and I cut it out. After all, the Compubot withheld information about my family’s history. The Compubot made me think the world was one way, and as soon as I seperated from it, I began to think and feel differently. Feeling differently, had it’s perks.  I had an erection since I got away from my Compubot. No one I ever heard of from my generation ever got an erection. The Authorities, told us that we didn’t have erections anymore because sex was no longer neccessary and so we just didn’t get them. Well, well, well, see what ripping the throat of your Compubot can do for you… Of course, I didn’t know what to do with this thing. It kept getting in the way.
Honestly, if it wasn’t for this erection, I don’t think I would have run. I was all bummed out that I murdered my Compubot, but this erection, made me determined to survive in order to get laid. Yes, I knew what was supposed to happen with an erection, I just didn’t know where to go. I wondered if the Lesser’s had a sex drive and so I was driven to get out of the city and see if I could get laid. That was the goal. Not survive to relate my tale and get it on a chip to save humanity from itself.
I obviously survived and you are a poor sucker who are about to rip out the chip in your head because you too want to get laid. The Authorities would have been better served to leave us horny and screwing. They couldn’t though. They realized that if we were having sex, we would have these primitive moments of questioning. So, what would we be questioning? We might want to know about the Great Wars which killed many people. We might want to know who started the Wars and why we lost. We might want to know about the end of the world, which has happened a bunch of times already. And if it is the end of the world, why is it still here?
I have seen the ruins of the city. I have seen man and their Compubots work to restore the city, only for it to come down in ruins again.
I have traveled North and have spoken to Authorities. I have seen that they no longer understand their original intention so well.One Authority Man cried as I told him my plight.
He genuinely had no idea what the original authority Men intended. I helped him rip out the chip in his head and kill his Compubot.
I have left much to tell and I will tell it in bits and pieces, as I travel North and meet other Lesser’s. I’m feeling a little lazy and horny again. Gotta Go.

The End for Now
