It Is 5:11 PM And You Are Listening To Los Angeles

Hey, Bobby. Whatcha doing?

“Rando War?”

Nope.

“Then, this must be my wife.”

Natasha Monster.

“Solid woman.”

You two have been married forever.

“Not as long as Phil and Jill. But longer than any of Garcia’s marriages, yeah. Garcia liked getting married a whole lot more than he liked being married.”

Sure. What’s your secret?

“I once ran over a homeless guy right outside of Dallas. Kept on driving.”

I meant your secret to a lasting marriage.

“Ah. Well, the key to the whole thing is to marry the right person. Honestly, that’s about 99% of it.”

What’s the other 1%?

“Separate bathrooms.”

Sure.

“Hey, uh, maybe we could forget about the Dallas thing?”

Already gone from my mind.

“Great.”

 

The Elusion Of Peace

“One, two, three, four–”

DON’T YOU DO IT, MOTHERFUCKER!

“–I declare a Rando War.”

Goddammit. Rando War is like the herpes of this site. So it makes sense you’re responsible.

“I don’t have herpes.”

Lie to randos, Josh, not me. You have at least one of every herpe. You collect watches, clothes, and herpes. You’re like that seed bank in Norway, but for herpes.

“I can’t hear you. I’m winning Rando War.”

“Rando War back on? We’re in.”

“Look at these randos! We got four. Beat that, Meyers!”

“Yeah, beat–”

“SPEAK WHEN SPOKEN TO, NEW BRENT!”

“Not in front of the randos, Mick.”

“You wanna keep flapping your gums, boy? You’re getting clogged!”

PERCUSSIONIST CHASING KEYBOARDIST WITH A PAIR OF ATTACK CLOGS NOISE

“Are, uh, we doing a Rando War?”

Bobby, that’s your family.

“Ah.”

Doesn’t count.

“Well, you know, they’re randos to somebody. Like Doctor J.”

What about Doctor J?

“He’d consider both women to be randos. He’d, uh, probably be nice to ’em ’cause they’re pretty, but they’d still be of the genusĀ rand. So, uh, pretend I’m Doctor J.”

Absolutely not.

“Remember that ball we used to use in the ABA? The red, white, and blue one? Stylish ball.”

Stop it. You are not Doctor J.

“Oh, yeah. I can slam that rock. Put that biscuit in the gravy.”

“Does Bobby think he’s Doctor J again?”

Who’s that?

Oh, hey: it’s Bobby’s Parish, Matt Busch.

“That’s not my job title.”

It’s not wrong, though.

“No. Anyway, does Bobby think he’s Doctor J again?”

Yes.

“Dammit. Ah, well, it’s better than when he thought he was Marvin ‘Bad News’ Barnes.”

I didn’t know Bobby was so into the ABA.

“He’s obsessed with failed sports leagues. The ABA, the USFL, that soccer league that had Pele for a while in the 80’s.”

Wow. Never would’ve guessed. Oh, yeah: what are you doing here?

“Rando War.”

That’s George R.R. Martin. He writes the books with the snow and the zombies and the castles and all that shit.

“Sure, but he’s a rando to someone.”

NO. Not entertaining this stupid argument anymore.

“I win Rando War.”

Yes, you do.

“I’m a dog now.”

Yes, you are.

Here’s The Dog, Star

Is that a puppy?

“It is.”

A puppy-wuppy?

“He’s wuppish, I’ll give you that.”

How many dogs is this?

“Well, I got the fluffy one and she’s great. She’s one of the mixes. Snickerdoodle.”

Nope.

“Toasterstroodle.”

Similarly delicious, similarly wrong.

“You know the one. White. Dog-sized.”

Yes, Bobby. Your dog.

“She’s a good dog. Top to bottom, but she’s too damn friendly. The youngest girl is gonna be going away to school soon, and my wife–”

Natasha Monster.

“–is gonna be alone in the house. So, uh, this here’s an ass-biting dog.”

German Shepherds are sticklers about protecting their people.

“Oh, yeah. Roman legions used to sic ’em on barbarians. German Shepherd doesn’t like you, it’ll let you know about it.”

You’re a good husband, Bobby.

“Sure, sure. Plus, you know, I got double the amount of dogs now. There’s nothing but upside here for me.”

Congratulations.

Fade To Black Peter

He can’t be in the band. The rhythm’s wobbly enough as it is.

“Who? Phil Collins?”

That’s not Phil Collins, Bobby.

“Tiny, cranky, plays the drums. Sounds like Phil Collins to me.”

No. That’s Lars Ulrich from Metallica.

“Ah. One of those Heavy Mental bands.”

The big one. Pretty much the Dead of Metal.

“How so?”

Only made two good albums, but they’ve been around forever. Made most of their money from merch. Their new bass player is ethnic.

“That does sound like us.”

Bobby, I gotta say that your wife–

“Natasha Monster.”

–looks spectacular. What’s her secret?

“She’s 30 years younger than me.”

That’ll do it.

That’s No Clown, That’s My Wife

Hey, Bobby. Rosacea is such a scourge.

“These are, uh, actually not our noses.”

Oh.

“Me and my wife–”

Natasha Monster.

“–are celebrating Wavy Gravy’s birthday.”

How old is he?

“As fuck. Wavy is old as fuck.”

Sure.

“Too old for surprise parties, at least. Although, he forgets stuff now so everything’s a little bit of a surprise.”

I gotcha.

“Just, you know, no leaping out from the darkness at him.”

No. Bad idea.

“Good thing about these noses? You can keep stuff in ’em.”

What kind of stuff?

“Stuff. Let’s just leave it at that.”

Shoulder aching?

“Depends on who’s at the party.”

Gotcha.
