Morning slapped me like a deranged walrus. My brain felt like it had been chopped and pureed by a band of angry aphids wielding barbed flails.

‘You’re an angel,’ I croaked when Wanda, my secretary, whose petals had seen the seedier side of the San Fernando Valley, poured a pitcher of gin down my face.

‘Freddy,’ she cooed, ‘you’re late for the stakeout.’

I nodded good-bye, almost losing my hammer deadened sense of balance and previous Tuesday’s lunch as I left the office.

The stakeout turned up nothing. And so, ever and alas, another day trampled into the vault of dusty uselessness here in the malevolent bowel I call home.

BANAL INTERVIEWS WITH CELEBRITY GHOSTS – GOGOL

April 20, 2014

Loon: We have a writer I think I’ve heard of today for the 3 question interview, Mr. Nick Gogol. Tell me, Nick, is there a question you would like me to ask?

Gogol’s ghost: The Roman Nose Replacement saluted his inner thigh.

Loon: Did he?

Gogol’s ghost: Not really, but he should have.

Loon: Do you have anything final to add?

Gogol’s ghost: Da and Nyet, my traveling companion oat screen repairmen are basking in the other room.

Loon and Gogol’s ghost engage in staring contest for the next two hours. Neither wins because at the exact moment when the loon passes out, Gogol explodes.

Henderson rose from the chair, advanced to the center of the room, paused, thrust his right leg forward, and stood stock still for a time balanced in this peculiar manner.
‘I do this sometimes,’ he said before he returned to the chair.
His guests departed rapidly.
