Larrah the Blind: hey handsome
Theo March: Hi beautiful
Larrah the Blind: staying out of trouble?
Theo March: As always. Things have been too quiet of late
Larrah the Blind: does that mean we should be bracing for the shit to really hit the fan?
Theo March: Already planning on it.
Larrah the Blind: were you a good Boy Scout back in the big city?
Theo March: Not really. Got kicked out for setting the tent on fire.
Larrah the Blind: did you wear the little uniform with the shorts and the kerchief?
Theo March: No shorts, but did have the kerchief and a shirt
Larrah the Blind: and the setting the tent on fire, accident or on purpose?
Theo March: I was purposely shooting the arrows on fire. Just missed the target
Larrah the Blind: *laugh* the regular archery merit badge not enough for you, I take it
Theo March: Not me *chuckles* Pretty sure there was a room reserved for me at the juvie
Larrah the Blind: well, since it led to you ending up here, I'm not going to complain
Theo March: I bet you don't. Do you know how hard it is to stowaway on one of those transports?
Larrah the Blind: no idea; most of the times I went anyplace, it was as cargo
Theo March: I was lucky to be skinny at that point and able to squeeze behind the seats
Larrah the Blind: why have I got this image in my head of some little Dickensian ragamuffin? tweed cap, woolen trousers with holey knees, soot-smudged face
Theo March: More like beanpole. It wasn't until I got here that I managed to stop being so skinny
Larrah the Blind: when really, I'm sure, it was more some tough scrawny punk in an oversized basketball jersey or gangsta tee
Theo March: No gangsta for me. Just say no to wife beaters.
Larrah the Blind: damn, so if the Jersey Shore people call back, I should tell them you're not interested in a guest spot next season?
Theo March: And for the record, I was more fast than tough. If the cops stopped hitting the donuts I would have had more issues. What's the Jersey Shore?
Larrah the Blind: from what I hear, some sleazy reality show with buff guys and big-haired plastic bimbos
Theo March: Bimbos? Dime a dozen. Need someone with a brain on top of the good looks.
Larrah the Blind: I think that doesn't make for as good TV, but then, not like I watch much anyway
Theo March: I dunno, a reality show about the Rogue Isles would surely get good ratings.
Larrah the Blind: right up until Arachnos shut it down hard?
Theo March: I'm sure if we gave them a cut, it would fly. After all, could you imagine the ratings an average day at the Monkey would generate?
Larrah the Blind: I like it, as long as you're not expecting to get your customers to sign releases ... or at least, sign them sober
Theo March: We have sober customers?
Larrah the Blind: some of them for the first couple minutes, don't you? admittedly, yes, there's a contact buzz hanging in the atmosphere like a fine mist, but ...
Theo March: True. Hell, some of them would sign just to show off. Like the dudes that were talking about baiting those walking garbage heaps out in the muck
Larrah the Blind: good judgment not exactly the strong point of the Monkey clientele, you're suggesting?
Theo March: They are drinking there, judgment is suspect the instant they step through the doors. And then there's still the weekly fool that thinks he can drink one of Ed's concoctions
Larrah the Blind: more business for me, though ... or for Morty ...
Theo March: No one's died yet.
Larrah the Blind: which, frankly, surprises the hell out of me
Theo March: Though if someone drinks that crap from the winged dude, we might have a fatality. It ate through a glass
Larrah the Blind: tested it on any monkeys yet? or on Ed?
Theo March: If I can find something to contain it.
Larrah the Blind: what did he have it in? I heard some kind of animal hide?
Theo March: Yeah, some leather wineskin. Not from our Earth, so to speak
Larrah the Blind: impervium shot glasses?
Theo March: Not sure that I could get Winter to buy a set of those.
Larrah the Blind: dress up Erin in some fur bikini with bones in her hair and have her stand on the bar and squirt arcs toward their mouths? Barbarian Night at the Red Monkey
Theo March: Arg, now I have the image of amazon jailbait playing Red Sonja.
Larrah the Blind: *laughs* I was thinking more, what's her name, from the caveman movies. fur bikini would have to be more comfortable than a chainmail one
Theo March: Yeah, but somehow I doubt she would go for it.
Larrah the Blind: but if you framed it to Winter that way, either ask Erin to play Barbarian Queen or shell out for impervium shot glasses ...
Theo March: Good point. I should ask him. Though if he goes for the Erin option, I'm not doing the suggestion
Larrah the Blind: sounds like a job for Yvette and her talk-anybody-into-anything powers
Theo March: I swear that girl could sell a Statesmen doll to Lord Recluse
Larrah the Blind: would not surprise me
Theo March: Take care Larrah. Will be home after dumping off the latest load for the Crimes
Larrah the Blind: sounds like a plan, handsome
