- I had just settled down to a quiet morning of inserting tarantulas
- up my nose when a raiding party of drunken Vikings battered down my door,
- battened down the hatches, buttered up the landlord and the English muffins,
- and tried to force-feed me with batter puddings. Then they left, muttering
- incoherent apologies and burning holes in the sheetrock walls with coherent
- light beer made by the Boors' Crewing Company.
- She stepped into the room using her feet and legs. She would have
- been tall, almost a giantess, had she not been so short. Her hair was
- pure gold until she removed her gold-wire wig and revealed long, chocolate-
- brown locks (as opposed to hair) made of salmon. "You will come with me,"
- she said in a pleading voice with a note (F# above middle C) of command in
- it, written in green ink on a Post-It (tm).
- "Why not?" I said, getting up.
- "Because if you will not," she said, her voice oozing sexual allure
- which she wiped up with a mop, "I will leave you to my Viking friends and
- to my grandchildren in my will."
- "I was going to go with you anyhow," I said, and she spat in my face
- with a spit-roasted chicken named Gabrielle. She (the chicken, not the
- woman) had a degree in Medieval studies and we discuseed monateries and
- Monster Trucks (first invented in 962 in Ireland, and pulled by draft horses
- brewed by Guinness -- Sir Alec himself! -- and dispensed by Papal dispensation
- at dispensaries scattered throughout the Emerald Aisle of the Dreary Lane
- Theatre).
- After several hours of this the woman grew impatient and dragged me
- off in drag to her drag racer full of bedraggled racists. In hours we were
- hundreds of yards away, in her house, dunking mice in hot coffee and biting
- their heads off. She had let me put on an ill-fitting tuxedo and massage
- her insteps with raspberry jam from the Yukon.
