August 18th 1988

0:52

. I came

0:54

home from Atlantic City totally broke

0:57

and very hungover . Buddy

1:01

gave me some pills that he said would prevent syphilis

1:03

. Turns out they

1:05

were really speed or some

1:08

shit . All

1:10

I know is I didn't sleep for three days straight , but

1:13

I didn't get syphilis either . The

1:15

pills must have worked . We

1:17

must have driven up and down the strip hundreds

1:20

of times , honking

1:22

and screaming at the whores and all

1:24

the other street vermin Scared

1:27

the shit out of a bunch of old farts too . Man

1:29

, they're fucking everywhere . It's

1:33

a total blast . Atlantic

1:35

City is a great place to visit . Who

1:37

knows , maybe I'll live there someday . It's

1:41

a party town and there's some pretty cool action

1:43

happening around the clock . But

1:45

for the time being I'm

1:47

totally committed to my job In

1:50

Atlantic City . You're just gonna have

1:53

to wait . Pretty

1:56

tired right now , but I

1:58

kinda feel like doing something . Anyway . I

2:00

can't sleep , not now . I

2:05

tried calling Buddy but he's not answering his

2:07

phone . So

2:10

I don't know . This might be a good night to get

2:12

to know my neighbors a little better that

2:15

lady across the street , perhaps Little

2:17

peeping Tom . Action is good for the soul

2:19

once in a while . August

2:26

19th 1988 . It's

2:30

5 AM and I still haven't gotten

2:32

to sleep . Yet the

2:34

alarm just went off and

2:38

it's time to get up , since I have a meeting

2:40

with Mr Jakeman this morning , today's

2:43

already fucked . Guess

2:46

it must be time to take another syphilis pill

2:48

. August

3:04

20th 1988

3:06

. I've

3:10

been demoted again , this

3:12

time to the very , very

3:14

early morning shift at Hardaway

3:16

Elementary . I've told Mr Jakeman

3:19

how much I hate little kids over

3:21

and over and over

3:23

again .

3:24

I hate little fucking kids .

3:26

But no , he keeps setting me up with

3:29

these shit jobs anyway .

3:30

I fucking hate them .

3:49

September 5th 1988

3:52

. It's the beginning

3:54

of another school year and the kids are

3:56

all excited and happy . Everyone's

3:59

wearing their new clothes and carrying

4:01

their new book binders . There's

4:03

electricity in the air . All

4:06

of the excitement has put me in a pretty good mood

4:08

. September

4:17

19th 1988

4:19

. Well

4:22

, the excitement that I felt on the first

4:24

day of school is worn off big

4:26

time . The

4:28

kids at this school suck . They

4:31

really are grades E quality . Personally

4:34

, I wouldn't give a rat's ass if any

4:36

of them got run over . Sometimes

4:38

I don't even bother to get up to help them across , and

4:42

when it rains out you can forget

4:44

about it . I will

4:46

be that guy you'll see standing under the

4:48

nearest tree staying dry . The

4:52

weather has been shit for the last few weeks

4:54

, making the job a total pain in the ass . Going

4:57

out after work has been a real drag too

4:59

. Time to catch

5:02

up on my reading Well

5:04

, porn . That is September

5:09

25th 1988

5:13

. The

5:17

weather has finally let up some , and Buddy

5:21

and me and some of the guys are going

5:23

out tonight . After

5:25

weeks of being cooped up every night , I'm

5:28

definitely ready to go out and crack some heads

5:30

open . September

5:59

26th 1988

6:04

. This night we'll

6:06

go down in history as a night

6:08

to remember . After

6:11

work , buddy and me and a few of

6:13

the guys started off by bowling a few

6:15

games at Brunswick Lanes the

6:18

new Brunswick on Speedway , not the old

6:21

south side Brunswick down in

6:23

Spicktown . I'm

6:26

not a racist or nothing . I mean , some

6:29

of my best friends are Spicks . Spicktown

6:35

just gives me the creeps . Anyway

6:38

, buddy and I teamed up and we

6:40

were unbeatable . We

6:45

ran the floor so we didn't have to pay for drinks

6:47

all night . We

6:56

were lit up and going about a thousand

6:58

miles an hour . He

7:01

was getting pretty pissed off at us , since

7:03

he considers himself to be a pretty decent

7:06

bowler . He kept telling me to shut

7:08

up . I

7:21

kept telling him that his shoe was untied

7:23

. I

7:25

belched every time he was at the line setting

7:28

up his shot . I

7:33

would wait until he was just about to shoot

7:36

and then I'd let one fly . Peaty

7:44

got even with me , though On my last

7:46

frame . He ran up behind me just as

7:48

I was lining up my shot and poured a

7:51

pitcher of beer all over my head

7:53

. I

7:56

turned around and shoved the ball at him and

7:58

nailed him square in the chest and knocked

8:00

him on his ass . He fell backwards

8:03

and landed right on top of this huge guy

8:05

in the next lane . The dude gets up

8:07

and starts hammering the living

8:09

shit out of him , didn't

8:23

have a ghost of a chance . Buddy

8:26

and I lit out of there in a hurry , leaving Peat

8:28

and the other guys to sort out that mess . As

8:30

far as I'm concerned , peat

8:33

had it coming . He's always bragging

8:35

to us about what a hot shit bowler he is

8:37

. Well , guess what , peat , tonight

8:39

you're just an A number one

8:41

jump . The fun

8:43

didn't stop when we got outside either . Buddy

8:46

found an unlocked car and opened the trunk

8:48

. He pulled out the tire iron

8:50

and started busting out windshields as

8:53

we tore through the parking lot I

8:55

was laughing too hard to do anything much

8:57

, but I managed to kick off a few rear

8:59

view mirrors . For my part , we

9:02

could hear the police sirens coming , so

9:04

we kept running until we got all

9:06

the way to read park . We

9:08

hid in the woods there until things cooled out

9:11

a little . The

9:15

sirens had passed and were far away

9:18

within a few minutes . Once the coast

9:20

was clear , we ventured out from our

9:22

hiding place . By then all

9:24

those pictures of beer began to catch up with

9:27

me , so I started looking for a place

9:29

to take a leak . I found

9:31

a nice bush to piss behind and discovered

9:34

a couple old winos living in the grass

9:36

getting drunk . Well , look what we fucking

9:38

have here . Well you know

9:41

how Buddy feels about winos Hi

9:43

stinky . His dad was a pretty bad drunk

9:45

, so he doesn't like them too much

9:47

. In fact you could say pretty

9:49

much doesn't like them a whole lot

9:51

. First we

9:53

smashed their wine bottles on some rocks

9:56

and then proceeded to kick the stink

9:58

out of them and God , there was plenty

10:00

of that to go around .

10:01

Run motherfucker . Oh , you can't , because

10:03

I'm fucking stomping on you , Eww

10:06

.

10:06

Cry . After that we made them take their clothes

10:08

off . It was pretty damn cold outside

10:11

. You should have heard them begging us for

10:13

mercy . A couple of pussies

10:15

. He picked them up , one at a time

10:18

, and threw them and their stinky

10:20

clothes into the duck pond . At this

10:22

time of year , the duck pond always has

10:24

a thin layer of ice on it .

10:26

Is it ?

10:26

cold . Is it cold ? Maybe

10:29

you could fuck it . Maybe a little pink ballerina suits

10:31

would be fucking cool . I've never laughed so hard in my fucking

10:33

life , though . To be honest

10:35

, we should have thrown their clothes in a

10:37

pile and burned them . What have been doing

10:39

them a favor ? Believe me .

10:45

You have just heard the fifth installment

10:47
