Bill the Great….Alcoholic.
Thursday, June 7th, 2007Bill the great is an alcoholic at a place we go to. The question is… where is he from? Riverside? Long Island City? no.. well maybe, but what about Cennunctah? South Philly? The truth is he is from everywhere, and he wears it on his houndstooth sleeve.
He carries himself with the weight of a Myers bottle of rum and has no regard for his handshake strength. He crushes peoples hands while he cries inside; he’s a lawyer. Some kind of legit real-estate lawyer. He obviously knows what he’s doing.. thats evident.. by day. By night, the clouds part, the sun recesses and things become bi-dimensional. You genuinely feel like you have something to learn from this man, but all you can render is “Wow, what a complete waste of carbon”. Let’s sample an actual conversation with the magnet.
Bill – Hurrsbs wherueue from?
Party – We’re from Buffalo, originally Buffalo.
Bill – BAFFILO. *rigorous handshake (2nd instance)* THEY GOT THE CHICKEN. I bet a buffalo would brahhhahrihiharha
Party - Really? *looks at a companion* You’re right about that, poultry is our main beef.
Bill - Beeaf? You meant like Beaf?
Party - Yeah, where exactly are you from?
Bill - RIVERRRSIDDDDDEEEEEEEE, off teh queen-e-bkln-st. I HATE A HOUSE. Sinatra, ITS NOT JUST A STREET IN EASTERN MAINE.
Party - Awwwww man, that is CUH-RAY-ZEE. I’m gonna go have a quick smoke, don’t follow me.
Bill - Crazay? I used to breed cantelopes in Jewrheuaselm for tannins.
Party - I don’t know what to think but can we have some space?
{ stage direction : bill stumbles in place like a down syndrome patient with a concussion }
Bill - WHERE AM I FROM? *attempts to handshake*
Party - *politely avoids handshake* Riverside, I think. But what are you doing here, riverside is so far away?
Bill - Sebatical. I’m a lawyer, i know people.
Party – People? I’m confused. People of the earth or otherwise?

{bouncer slowly clothlines bill, in a loving manner, and escorts him towards 14th street}

So that’s how the bill saga ends.
…until we see him again for the first time, at the bar, 2 days after tomarrow.
