Flash Three was the darkest Flash of all. He worked at the Nissan store. Flash Three was a genuine scum. I mean pedophile level scum. He looked like a Klingon with a wide mottled forehead, arched bushy eyebrows and a permanent scowl.
A school bus stopped on the corner near the store. Every time […]

Flash Number Two was a zippy little wet brain. His anachronistic wardrobe was stuck in the seventies. He always dressed in pastel, wide lapel, what the hell, bell-bottom disco suits. They always looked new. Is there still a suit factory somewhere cranking these things out? Probably in China.
Flash Two may have had a […]

Nicknames are popular with car salesmen. Sales professionals with a nom de guerre all swear the names help customers remember them. The fake names also help make them harder to track down when the authorities come knocking.
Some of the names I’ve heard are; Tick, Rocket, Boots, Blue Sky and Plywood. Plywood was a nice enough […]

While watching Resident Evil: Extinction this weekend, a few opinions formed in my tiny brain.
First, here’s a list of previous movies they borrowed heavily from:
George Romero’s Dead series
Mad Max Road Warrior
Tron
Alfred Hitchcock’s, The Birds
The last joke in Shaun of the Dead.
Second, it was a very entertaining movie. The Zombie effects are coming along nicely. […]

Working for Nissan. Saturday morning and I’m being punished. Early this morning the loudspeaker squawked, “Attention, attention, anyone not having three scheduled, verifiable appointments for today shall not catch new customers. You will sit in your office and mail letters.” The brand new manager got a head start on showing his ass.
That caused a […]

Management at the Honda dealership was so stingy they bought thank you cards at a railroad salvage depot. Anything to save a few pennies, even if it meant profiteering from a train wreck. The cards were water stained and so moldy they stunk up the storage room. They were festooned with cheesy artwork […]

If cars sit around a lot too long they start falling apart. It’s not good for them to be stuck in one spot for long periods. Same for salespeople. You can tell a lifer. Someone who’s spent so many years in dark cubicles, away from the sun, you can see through their skin, down into […]

“Oh shit,” Jay said. “My nipples are on fire.” He rubbed his chest. “That damn dry cleaners put starch in my shirts again. Damn it, I tell them over and over, no starch. I’m allergic as a sonofabitch.”
Jay is a large black man. The sight of him skipping to the fiery nipple dance put the […]

Such a mood I’m in today. Been living on five hours sleep a night for a week. That’s hard for a man of my advanced age. My brother and his wife are visiting from Indiana and we’re trying to see as much as possible in a few days. Last night we made the trek to […]

Nothing’s happening at work that isn’t too depressing to talk about. So let me tell you about some movies I’ve seen in the last two weeks.
The Bourne Ultimatum. All movies should be this good. It’s at the discount theatres now. See it on dvd or at the dollar movies. Matt damon is becoming a […]
