Euchre Semi-Finals

One of my favourite card games is Euchre. I enjoy this game so much that I play in a league at the senior’s center with my toothless East Indian friend. We played a semi-final game yesterday, so the crowd was slightly different than it usually is.

A swarming crowd of elderly citizens were present, as usual, but there was an abnormally large number of younger folks there as well. Toothless suggested we go over and mingle with the opponents, but conversing with the soon to be defeated heathens was something I couldn’t stomach, so I told the smelly bastard to go over himself.

We play North American euchre, but other variations exist. I began my pre-game ritual before the game. I took out my war paint and painted my face completely red with some streaks of black, put on my trusty coonskin cap, strapped on my tool belt and started to meditate for a short while.

Toothless came back over a few minutes later to tell me it was game time.

We sat down opposite of our opponents, a pair of middle aged people who appeared to have never left the early 70’s. Our “judge”, as it were, was an old man with thick bifocals and long nose hair. I asked him his name.

He replied “William”, with a heavy English accent.

I pulled out a short blade knife from my tool belt, flashed it at the man across from me and stared for a while. He whispered something to his wife and they stared back.

They dealt and won all three tricks of the game, Toothless and I were left in the dust; we’d never lost before. The man came close to me and said “Don’t try it. I’ll kill you” Then he told Toothless that he was going to murder Toothless’ family, and glared at him intently.

Snap.

Toothless grabbed the woman by her blouse and began head-butting her viciously in the nose. I looked over, smiled at the woman, then took the knife back out of my tool belt and thrust it into her husband’s eye socket. I broke the leg of my chair off, poked him in the throat with it and initiated the beating process.

He tried to get up, but the leg continued to pummel him in the spine, leaving him virtually useless. The old folks noticed quickly and started to scream and cause a ruckus, attempting to get out. I gave the man one final smash across the side of the face, and stole his wallet as a souvenir.

One old lady ran up to me and swung with her purse. Sometimes, I let the octogenarians go free in these situations, but an intentional swing with a purse called for a swift (or slow) death. I grabbed her purse from her, with great ease thanks to her brittle bones, and slapped the straps around her neck and began to twist. Her wrinkled flesh actually began to tighten up due to the pressure, perhaps this was the famed Fountain of Youth people had been searching for, maybe not. After her face turned purple, I tied the straps in a knot and closed her eyes for her.

Toothless was busy stomping on a young man when I asked him if he had his Chris DeBurgh cassette with him. He threw it to me and continued with his work. I ran over to the main office, threw it in and pressed play.

Music is an essential key to getting the most enjoyment from homicide, so I try to incorporate it whenever possible. If there are no players around, I simply sing it in my head.

“I’ve never seen you looking so lovely as you did tonight, I’ve never seen you shine so bright.”

I threw my brass shuriken into William’s temple, then shot him with my nail gun in the neck.

“I’ve never seen so many men asking if you wanted to dance, looking for a little romance, given half a chance.”

Toothless smashed a young man’s head into a table, started elbowing him in the temple, and hammered a rail spike through his skull with a nearby stool.

“The lady in red – Is dancing with me – Cheek to Cheek – There’s nobody here – It’s just you and me – It’s where I wanna be”

A large biker blocked our way out.

We sung.

“BUT I HARDLY KNO-O-O-OW, THIS BEAUTY BY MY SIDE”

I gave a spear to my friend, and we jumped at him and shoved our spears into his chest, pulled them out and marvelled at the gurgling ambience.

“I’LL NEVER FORGET – THE WAY YOU LOOK TONIIIIIIIGHT”

And for the life of me, I really can’t forget the way he looked that night. He looked like the lead singer of The Hooters, but larger and with a greasy slop of a haircut.

Never forget the lady in red was the lesson for that day, a pretty sad one at that. It always pains me when I don't learn something new everyday. Thank god for opiates and their derivatives.

Toothless definately had some nice work that he carried out quite well it seems. I never knew he was that crafty.

(SG = Stephen King.....could it be?)
 
Euchre -- the game that keeps on giving. I prefer Canasta or Asian War (if I'm in a ghetto mood) myself...

Perhaps a few emoticons are in order:
:mix: :mix: :bawling: :mix: :mix:

and one for good measure:
:angel:
 
I much prefer Spades.

But I cringe to think of my 1st amendment rights being squashed by RyanH for discussing such a racist named game.

Oh well. More decapitations and pancreas piercings for me...
 
Quid pro quo -- here's the first chapter of a project I started in '99 and never finished...

Chapter 1.

Part I


Hot. Bright. The heat seeped from the sun through the clear blue air like harsh waves from a turbulent alien ocean. Harsh light bounced from the dusty white, vinyl-clad skins of the cookie-cutter houses located in the small desert town. Quiet, still.

Billy slogged through the dry oven air; his Keds beating a tome on the cracked earth and sand underfoot. Ten-years old, Billy pulled a bright Red Ryder wagon behind him, filled with shifting bags of popcorn and a plastic canteen of water.

Baking in the heat of his blue Cub Scout uniform, he loosened the yellow scarf around his neck and sighed. He wanted the trip that the scout with the most sales would win, but who ate popcorn in the desert anyway? And whose bright idea was it to have the scouts push the popcorn during the hottest days of August?

Billy went up and down Maple Street, ringing doorbells and making what sales he could. After that, he headed over to Perkins and then Broadway. It was a Saturday and most of the people in the town were gone — visiting the neighboring town of Andina for the Annual County Cowboy Rodeo. By the time he made it to Johnson Road, his small feet had carried him several miles from home — farther than he usually strayed. No big deal, he thought, it wasn't like he was in New York or something. Tuelo was a nice town, a good place to live. He'd just finish off Johnson and then head back home for cold cherry Kool-Aid and sandwiches from mom.

Billy stopped for a moment, set his small shoulders and took a swig of lukewarm water. A feeble dusty breeze sprang up in the stillness and tousled his straw-blond hair weakly. Just a couple more houses to go, he thought. Sales had been so-so, but he figured he had a good jump on most of the other scouts who probably had been carted off with their families to the rodeo. Billy had been spared the rodeo because his mom cared more about afternoon talk shows than rodeos — and he didn't have a dad that cared enough to take him.

Billy headed up the worn flagstone path that led to the door of 619 Johnson Road, sales script in mind. Only the ghost of oil stains occupied the driveway, but he could hear the faint sound of a TV drifting through the mid-afternoon air. Leaving the Red Ryder at the foot of the entry's concrete stair, Billy stepped up to the door and knocked. A couple long moments passed, then the door opened slowly, letting a gust of heaven-like air-conditioning escape through the crack.

The person smiled from behind the door, greeting Billy and gesturing for him to come inside.

Smiling back, Billy stepped in.

Yeah, I saved sodomy for the second chapter. Seriously.

Actually, here it is:

- Two weeks earlier -

The phone's piercing squawk shattered the deep stillness of the darkened bedroom. Half-waking from a besotted slumber, Plooge awkwardly rolled across the satin expanse of the king-size bed, taking care not to disturb the small figure that lay unmoving by his side.

Breathing heavily, Plooge absently ground a crumb of sleep from the corner of his left eye and fumbled about the top of the glass nightstand for his cordless. The only light in the room came from the digital, which read 3:42 a.m. A lifelong bachelor of 52-years, Plooge never ceased to be annoyed by the late-evening and early-morning calls that plagued his modern two-story house.

But that's what you got when you dealt with kids.

Grasping the headboard, Plooge hauled his sickly bulk to a sitting position and thumbed the cordless on.

"Hello?"

"Plooge…" small voice, rapid breathing.

"What?" Irritated — only chickens called him by his nickname. "Who is this?"

Long pause, "it's Jeremy…" more silence.

"Christ Jeremy, do you know what time it is?"

"Yeah, sorry — I couldn't sleep"

"I told you not to call me here."

"Uh, huh. I'm sorry, but…"

"But what?"

"I haven't heard from you in awhile." Scared. "You're not answering my e-mails, you're not answering my pages. I miss hanging out. Doin' stuff…"

Plooge grasped the phone tighter, running his fingers absently up and down the arm of the sleeping boy whom lay in the bed. Shit, he thought, I don't need this.

"Look," he said, "Jeremy, I told you the last time we talked — we can't see each other anymore — it's not safe."

True, but not strictly true. The truth was, Plooge liked his meat a little younger.

Plooge had met Jeremy in an online chat room two years earlier and turned him out from there. Even then, at twelve years old, Jeremy had been pushing the boundaries of Plooge's taste in boys — but damn, he had been so pretty.

But now… the boy had turned fourteen. Plooge was seeing the changes in the Jeremy's body. Unfavorable changes.

"Look Jeremy, we went over this before. I'm sorry — go talk to Jarrod."

Jarrod, another man of Plooge's persuasion, liked his chicks a little older — when the hair was just growing in. Plooge referred his older meat to Jarrod, and in return, Jarrod referred any younger meat he found to Plooge — professional courtesy.

"Goodbye Jeremy."

"But…" small voice panicky.

"Goodbye." Plooge cut the call off.

He returned the phone to its cradle and lay back in the bed, dropping a sweaty hand to his crotch. Young Jeremy had been so pretty. Lust rising, he nudged the eleven-year-old who lay next to him.

"Wake up." Voice far away, eyes hollow.

The boy stirred from a drug-induced sleep. This one was a street kid, a runaway — beautiful jet-black skin. He was called Jax or something.

Not as pretty as Jeremy, Plooge thought, but in the dark of the bedroom he could imagine Jeremy's face on the boy.

The runaway writhed languidly under the power of heavy narcotics, shallow chest barely breathing. After several moments of insistent stroking from Plooge, the boy succumbed to the older man's probing clutch.

On his knees, Plooge jerked harshly into the boy.

The damn thing about all this, Plooge thought, is that they all eventually grow too old.

Fuckin' puberty anyway.
 
Goat,If my hubby kicks the bucket can I marry you?

Damn, I bet you are good in bed with that wicked imagination you got...LOL
 
The Machine is showing promise on his creative writng class. Keep up the good work.

Yea, I have thought about writing some, but I need to find good story line and the characters, so I will wait and develop it.

I will then try posting it on the board just to get a feel about it.
 
LOL w/a slight bit of disgust at THe MaCHinE.

Vixen - That's what I've been hearing, kinda, though some ladies shriek when the whips and gags and things come out. Wimps.

lol. Why do I get the feeling this is a thinly veiled slam? hehehe

SG -- You're disgusted? C'mon man...
 
I said a "slight" bit of disgust, nothing major, just never got into the whole homosexual pedophile thing. Me thinks Plooge should get sodomized with a samurai sword in the next chapter.

Can't do it in the next chapter, it's already written.

- Three days earlier -

Dr. Jefferson Thorne settled back into the worn contours of his soft art-deco chair, the crisp white of his lab coat shocking the velvety black $3700 leather. Sizing up the decidedly average-looking middle-aged couple before him, he took a deep, smooth breath and continued.

"Well, it's quite simple really," he assured the pair, monotone, trying not to sound condescending, "we don't think Jeremy's issues warrant full-time admission to the facility."

"Don't warrant full time admission?" Arthur Davis stuttered, thin face flushing, "yesterday he took a swing at me for Christ sakes!"

Dr. Thorne nodded in what he hoped passed for empathy, noting the angry red vein that bulged from the thin forehead of the boy's father. Thorne put on his best mask of commiseration and leaned forward, resting slender forearms on the polished metal surface of the desk between them.

"Arthur, Heather — I know it's difficult raising a teenage boy," he started, then paused for effect, "I have three of my own and each one has presented certain difficult challenges."

"Jeremy has some issues," he proceeded, eyes wandering to the gleaming row of framed diplomas that adorned the wall by the couple, voice taking the tone of a Sunday sermon.

"Issues that brought him to Oakbrook in the first place. But over the course of the last six months I think our group sessions have really started to get through to him. Admitting him full-time could close our line of communication down entirely, foster feelings of hostility — maybe set him back a year or more in therapy…"

"But doctor," the boy's mother, cut in, "he's angry — violent. He doesn't listen to us. We can't even talk to him without setting him off. We're at the end of our rope trying to figure out what to do."

Thorne nodded and leaned back again, surreptitiously checking his watch.

"Well," the doctor spoke slowly, "Jeremy is facing a very difficult time right now, he's going through high school, girls, peer pressure, hormonal changes and a thousand other things any teenage male goes through."

"Granted," Thorne continued, "it's not healthy for a boy to physically attack parental figures, but it is healthy — and even necessary at that age — to rebel. We just need to guide him a little bit, try to help him bring out other emotions aside from rage and aggression."

Arthur and Heather Davis looked at one another uncertainly. Not sure what to say.

"Jeremy's one-year evaluation is coming up in three weeks," the doctor finished, "if we haven't got him out of this phase, we can take another look at the issue. In the meantime, we'll double his afternoon group sessions and monitor his progress from there. Fair enough?"

"All right," the boy's father conceded, realizing he had hit a brick wall, visibly deflating.

"Thanks for your time," the mother added curtly, lips pursed and eyes avoiding contact.

"My pleasure," Thorne returned evenly, "let me walk you out."

The doctor ushered Jeremy's parents to the waiting room, where their son waited, fixed on the gaudy, unintelligible eye of the room's TV. The receptionist had left for the day.

"Hi Jeremy."

"Hey." Voice low, concentrating blankly on the talk show.

An uncomfortable moment passed between the four. The tinny blare of network television was the only sound in the office.

"Well," Heather forced a cheerful voice, "let's go."

Without a word, the fourteen-year old got up from the plastic waiting room chair and left with his parents, leaving the TV on.

The doctor released a breath of relief — everyday was a battle.

Thorne was satisfied that he had done the right thing for Jeremy — it wasn't as if the boy were trying to kill himself.

Besides, aside from the clinical aspects there were also business aspects to consider — economic realities. Having a patient in group meant a higher dollar-per hour average income for Oakbrook, with less maintenance expense. Take this fact and compound it by multiple patients, and group therapy adds up to a healthy bonus at the end of the year.

Smiling to himself, the doctor crossed the office and switched off the room's TV and lights. Silence fell.

A piece of paper on the floor near the television attracted the Thorne's attention. He stooped down and picked it up.

Scribbled in tight plain letters were the words:

Thanks for not taking me -- I'll get one for you Doc.

—J


Thorne crumpled the paper and tossed it into the trash, nonplussed.

If Jeremy was showing signs of humor, maybe he wasn't as bad off as his parents thought.

Whistling, Dr. Thorne walked out of the office, strolled down a long, featureless hall and exited the clinic's door into the hot, late-afternoon sun.
 
SG -- sorry for polluting your thread brother. Thought you might want to go back and forth a little bit on the ol' stories... like the free range chicken thread or the photo thread.

BTW, I've really enjoyed the addition of your East Indian Toothless friend to your last several escapades. Funny shit. Get a chuckle every time. So much so, that it deserves an emoticon:

;) ;) ;) ;)

As Hovac would say,
Peace
 
You can't pollute what is already tainted.

I enjoy reading stories, yours are very well written, it seems nobody else enjoys to write, or at least doesn't like to share. I'm going out tonight or tomorrow into town (I hate that) to pick up a book by Skipp and Spector (sp?) as you mentioned in an earlier thread. I hope the bookstore carries it, if not I'll have to place an order.....with my machete.

Toothless has been hanging out with me more and more, ever since he split up with his "girl"friend. She was more of a sea wench than anything, so he harpooned her and threw her back into where she came from.
 
Shit SG's got a damn exciting life!!!! I'm really contemplating on taking up Euchre and joining some type of league too. Any toothless asians wanna join me??
