Happy Valentines Day Monkey!

While Jeri is busily participating in the 2nd Annual Regional Phlebotomic Olympiad, I've been assuming the role of fat white vactioner in the world famous City of the Mad Banshee. I of course had to research the differences between the GameWorks compounds, and as usual, the bigger city was clearly the victor. Aside from the obvious differences, (beer, food, beer and beer), the games themselves were of a completely different caliber. Sure in Tucson (or Sucktown as Fredo calls it), the games are reminiscent of the Wonderland Nickel Arcade the Crag Mava gentleman and I attended in our youth. (The mere mention of this place, and a request for $2 in nickels was guaranteed to piss Rudy off like nothing else could.) I don't know the names of the games I was playing, hang on.....(no, not Hang On!, that was soooo pre fall 1989), Cycraft does stick out, but as for the others, I'll have to go back today then.

The more shocking activity, or perhaps glaring, was when I stripped down to my panties and swam in the pool and spa. I had to do this under the cloak of darkness, but soon security was called to investigate the foreign object floating in the pool. (I am NOT foreign, just pasty). (And old).

Room service with Jeri was pleasant, the food not so, but better than her repeated jabbing of my eye with the knitting needle.

Ahh...Wunderland.

Sweet, sweet childhood, why did you leave me?

It left you so that you could grow and learn to steal Benson & Hedges MultiFilter 100's.

I actually saw a carton of those at some store, not too long ago. I was tempted to buy them, and walk through the old neighborhood while puffing away, and drinking vodka out of a cough syrup bottle like I used to(on the way to school).

Oh to be young and stupid again. That shit was fun.

The only stupid thing about it was my ultra hip bicycle helmet. Otherwise the constant harrassment of Andy Hume, Chris Keith and those Christian kids walking behind Fountain Village was great fun....well, I don't know if Meredith was actually a good christian but still...

Did you have your interview?

Posted by: Joshua at February 15, 2006 09:33 PM

Meredith Albrecht? No, she wasn't very Christian. I recall her boyfriend telling me all about that. I saw her like 5 years ago, she still had bad acne.

Interview? Yes.

New job? Yes.

I start on the 27th. I will be a "shipping guy" for a company that produces/distributes "specialty videos for an open-minded adult audience". Yeah. Small pay cut, but I don't care. I might have the chance to do some sales(wholesale, not retail) too.

I didn't get your email until after the interview, so I ended up asking, and using Mr. Motzkin. I just hope the lady who called didn't tell him what the company does. Yikes.

As long as a few of those specialty videos "fall" off the dock it will be quite worth it. If she did mention it to him, he may not be too concerned with it, rather quite excited and aroused merely at the thought of 1000's of boxes with naked people on the front. I'm guessing he wasted no time in stripping off all clothing and well....let's just leave that to the imagination shall we?

And you are aware you were the favourite of the funeral homes here right? Those people are going to be wanting some videos since you've left them no choice but to deal with Mr. Potter. (Unless that guy with the butterfly tattooed on his groin is there).

Ok, Allan won't need a video, neither will Steve...unless that company markets that genre. I don't see why they wouldn't.

I expect a visit from the wholesale dept. All in the name of medical education of course!

Well, the pay cut is really no big deal. Since they pay for medical, dental, and vision, I'll actually be making more. The hours are much better, too. 9-5, Mon-Fri, 1 hour paid lunch. I'll actually be able to see my girlfriend. I'm not exactly sure that's a good thing.

Yes, I am aware of the fact that most of the F/H crowd liked me, and preferred to deal with me. In fact, so did most of our other customers. Wayne from Valley wants to take me out to one of Tucson's many centers for "performing arts", and have some cocktails while enjoying some "culture". I'm not sure how I should feel about that.

Yes, they also market that genre, and a few others. The world of smut is vast and varied, my friend. However, I think good ol' Bob Case might be out of luck; I've never seen or heard of strict religious porn. I guess he could probably just watch the 700 club, and gaze longingly at Pat Robertson, or maybe Fox news, while doing his thing. Icky.

Ah, yes Medical Education. Riiiight.
