Hudson is standing in front of the refrigerator, pale and mouth agape. From the look of her one would think she were staring at a severed head or something, you know, if one lived in a city where that kind of thing were commonplace.
MM: What is it hudson? Another severed head? I told you never to open the fridge unattended.
HL: Worse than that.
MM: (gulp) worse?
HL: We are out of DR. Pepper.
MM: (blank stare)
HL: (hysterical laughter)
MM: (muttering) actresses.
(((ring ring)))
MM: (pick up the phone) Hello.
Matt: Hi. You are not going to believe what happened.
MM: Wh...
Matt: So I am walking through the mall right and who do I see?
MM: I don...
Matt: Hudson. Just sitting there, you know in the food court. Well I couldn't pass up the opportunity.
MM: Wh...
Matt: For a little revenge. So I grab some scissors, snuck up behind her and chop chop, no more long golden locks.
MM: (look up see Hudson with all her hair intact) When did you say this happened?
Matt: Just now. I am looking at her. She still hasn't noticed. She was pretty heavy into that pita. (chuckling to himself)
MM: uhm Matt. I have some bad news and some worse news, which would you like first?
Matt: Bad news I guess.
MM: Hudson is right in front of me. Are you ready for the worse news? Matt?
Matt: (whimper)
The phone went dead. (Hopefully that was the only thing.)
(((ring ring)))
MM: (pick up the phone) Matt?! You ok?
Trancer: Not Matt, just me. I need your help.
MM: My help? What could I pos...
Trancer: I can't figure out how to shut off that blasted music! It just keeps playing and playing...It's A Sunshine Day, Venus, Girl, Keep On....
MM: (dear Goddess, not the Brady Bunch Soundtrack again! The boy has no shame.)
Trancer: I'm telling you Melissa, I don't think I can take it anymore! And Goddess help me but, it seems to be coming from, uhm, uh...from his pants.
MM: It is.
It took Gene and two psychoanalysts 45 minutes to revive Trancer.
Disclaimers: No actual hair was chopped off during the creation of this post. Any cyber-hair that might have been removed may be easily restored. (In Cyberspace being a bard comes in rather handy at times).
Acknowledgments: Thanks to the wonderful folks in the Cirra Emergency Room, my twin is well on his way to recovery. Tho the same can not be said for his groovy pants.
