Example text
I don’t want to take any Vicodin for the same reason that I try never to sit with my back to a door. M S. RAM B O PE had started with Track, which basically means you go around the track without stopping for the whole period. You’re supposed to run most of the time, though you can take periodic breaks where you walk till you’re ready to start running again. Of course, Sam Hellerman and I took full advantage of this loophole and walked most of the time, talking about this and that, like, say, whether the Count Bishops or Slade had had more influence on the sound of the first wave of British punk rock.
The band name does not appear anywhere on the outside packaging. Second Album: Phantasmagoria, Gloria. Cover photo: a police dog licks a broken doll’s face. Band wears white shorts, shirts, and sweater vests, except for Li’l Miss Debbie, the girl singer. She wears a tiny nurse’s uniform with big black boots. Instead of guitar solos, I use my guitar to hit tennis balls into the crowd. With a delay on it, this makes a really cool sound when the ball bounces off the strings. Debbie and the Prophet Samuel are married but have an open polyamorous relationship.
But Sam Hellerman had to check. After the orangutan people 36 had burst out and clambered off in search of other victims, he trudged into the bathroom. Then he trudged out again looking hopeless and miserable. The hat was beyond help. He just left it in there. ” He had already begun counting the minutes till school was out. As I think I’ve mentioned, Sam Hellerman knows where my mom keeps her Vicodin, which is one reason he always wants to come over my house. In fact, he doesn’t really do it all that often, but when he’s feeling especially depressed, or in the aftermath of a major tragedy like the unjust loss of a favorite hat, he’ll head straight to my mom’s night-table drawer and take some of the pills with a tall glass of bourbon that he swipes from her entertaining area.
