Episode 1 - Days Past

   


I remember days past when I was young and impressionable.  I meet this mug going by the name Otis. He was a funny looking critter with a wild haircut and an earring. The girls would hang around him day and night. The guitar was his weapon of choice.  I thought to myself, this is the life I want. He owned a nightclub on the East side of town with his twin brother who, by the way, had the same name.  The only way to tell them apart was by the earring.  One wore gold ( his nickname was Goldie) and the other silver (his nickname was Silver). 

I was out for a night of no good with my pal Pete when he says to me, "hey fins, (he called me fins all the time) I gotta Go really bad.  Let's run in this joint so I can take care of business.  I said, "ok by me, I wanted to check the place out anyway."  While he was TCB, I went up to the bar.  There were two bartenders, or so I thought.  They both seemed to approach me at the same time.  Looking at them, I felt as though I had already had a few too many.  It was then I realized they were some sort of mutation with two heads and one body. 

Anyway, I ordered a drink and went over to find out who the two bouncers were by the door. These critters were in military uniforms. The one dressed in an army uniform looked tough, hard and mean.  His name was Dan and he had a cannon on his back.  The other one wore a mask and a tank on his back.  You would think that tank might slow him down but the harpoon he carried changed my mind quick.  His nametag had N. Seal on it.  I didn't ask any questions! 

Now I'm wondering what's taking Pete so long so I go looking for him.  When I get about halfway to the restrooms, out comes Pete beating on this shark I know named Sledge. Sledge keeps saying something about it not being him that did it.  He says this critter by the name of Bart was the one.  I grabbed Pete and pulled him off of Sledge. I said' "lets hear him out!"  Sledge calms down and explains to us.  He says, "this big critter named Bart was getting impatient having to wait for Hurly to get done so he could use the stall and let one loose.  You know what I mean?" I said, " yea I know." So he goes on, "Matt was behind Bart.  He fell back and hit me.  I hit you and you were all over me."  At this point, Pete eats crow and apologized to Sledge.  "Come over to the bar, let me buy you a drink."  Pete says to Sledge and we start for the bar. 

Over at one table, there is this mug called Snake Eyes.  I think he's picking on this other mug, Boris, who is sitting there sniffling.  I quickly realize this critter has a bad sinus problem.  Sitting with these two critters, are the two Otis brothers.  They tell me they are impressed with the way I handled myself and if there is ever anything I need, just let them know. 

I go back to Pete and Sledge.  "I've had enough for one night, I'm out of here.  "They tell me their going to stay and I make it outside in time to see this cat get flattened by a truck.

!!SPLAT!! What a night!
