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
