suddenly, he looked back outside, and Eddie was gone, with pieces of Riff Raff strewn about the street, like taffy

genital giant (Neanderthal), Saturday, 16 May 2020 01:49 (four years ago) link

Gee, maybe I should have asked Eddie for his autograph, Jeremy wondered.

A is for (Aimless), Saturday, 16 May 2020 03:23 (four years ago) link

Suddenly, he heard footsteps.

genital giant (Neanderthal), Saturday, 16 May 2020 03:37 (four years ago) link

If that's Eddie Murphy, I'm definitely going to ask for his autograph, thought Jeremy.

A is for (Aimless), Saturday, 16 May 2020 03:42 (four years ago) link

It was Eddie Murphy.

genital giant (Neanderthal), Saturday, 16 May 2020 03:48 (four years ago) link

A trickle of blood had escaped from the corner of his mouth and dribbled down his chin.

Eddie Murphy was blackout drunk again, and at midnight it would be his birthday.

Karl Malone, Saturday, 16 May 2020 05:33 (four years ago) link

"Eddie, can I have your-", Jeremy began to ask, but he was interrupted by Eddie attempting to eat his face.

genital giant (Neanderthal), Saturday, 16 May 2020 11:51 (four years ago) link

Eddie swiftly broke several of his incisors on Jeremy's all-titanium cranium.

A is for (Aimless), Saturday, 16 May 2020 17:02 (four years ago) link

Meanwhile, the hit song “All-titanium Cranium” was playing on the radio.

very avant-garde (Variablearea), Saturday, 16 May 2020 17:33 (four years ago) link

Between the radio blaring and Eddie Murphy's loud drunken yelps as he danced around holding his mouth, Jeremy wasn't sure if Eddie had heard him say, "-autograph", so he helpfully extended the pen and paper in Eddie's direction and sort of jiggled them to draw attention to their mute appeal for some little personalized greeting, such as 'To Jeremy, rots of ruck, your pal Eddie'.

A is for (Aimless), Saturday, 16 May 2020 17:59 (four years ago) link

Instead, Eddie, who had ceased to be human after the stroke of midnight due to the curse put on him by Rick James years earlier, took the pen and brutally stabbed Jeremy to death in the neck, which was very much not titanium and smelled kind of fishy.

After Jeremy's apparent death Eddie began to wonder, after that whole 'give me your autograph' thing, just how big a fan of his Jeremy had been, and so slowly and methodically began to investigate whether the apartment contained any of his comedy recordings as vinyl, cassette tape or CD, and film roles, as VHS tape, Betamax discs, or DVDs, plus any wall posters, People magazines, biographies, or just books that may have mentioned him in passing.

A is for (Aimless), Wednesday, 20 May 2020 03:04 (four years ago) link

It turns out Jeremy had mistaken him for Richard Pryor.

I am a free. I am not man. A number. (Neanderthal), Wednesday, 20 May 2020 03:07 (four years ago) link

The jagged wound made Jeremy's warranty, neatly but perplexingly tucked into a cranny, completely indecipherable. The corpse, or whatever this was, was far from exquisite. Just a crumpled smelly mass.

Eddie, still thinking himself the original protagonist, thought, "I want my towel back, and I want a refund."

(that was more than one sentence)

I am a free. I am not man. A number. (Neanderthal), Wednesday, 20 May 2020 03:08 (four years ago) link

(consider the offending 2nd sentence expunged and move on)

A is for (Aimless), Wednesday, 20 May 2020 03:11 (four years ago) link

(oops. also include the 3rd, and 4th, too)

A is for (Aimless), Wednesday, 20 May 2020 03:12 (four years ago) link

His warranty, however, did not cover "acts of Eddie Murphy while dehumanized" and therefore its current illegibility was of little import.

A is for (Aimless), Wednesday, 20 May 2020 03:26 (four years ago) link

Randall Flagg arrived on the scene, realizing it was time once again for his reign.

I am a free. I am not man. A number. (Neanderthal), Wednesday, 20 May 2020 03:30 (four years ago) link

"Eddie! My main man! Can I have your autograph?", Randall exclaimed with all the fervor of a true fan.

A is for (Aimless), Wednesday, 20 May 2020 03:37 (four years ago) link

"Flagg?" gasped Eddie, his voice betraying the horrible suspicion that his unsportsmanlike conduct during the Fifth Intergalactic War might finally come to light with the sudden reappearance of this, his arch-nemesis and former commanding Güberhauptführe.

budo jeru, Wednesday, 20 May 2020 03:47 (four years ago) link

Then Eddie's eyes hungrily alit on the pen Flagg was holding out in his direction in all innocence, believing that this Eddie was still the same old Eddie the cut-up and clown he knew from long ago, unchanged by fame, fortune, untold amounts of drugs and alcohol, and Rick James' curse.

A is for (Aimless), Wednesday, 20 May 2020 03:56 (four years ago) link

A few moments passed, and as the fierce and raging tears began to clear from Eddie's keen and incisive eye, he espied an inscription upon the Flagg-pen, the pen which we knew had traveled lightyears from a distant, squalid dimension: "Baktar bicht nÿeer biní Qglooob."

budo jeru, Wednesday, 20 May 2020 04:36 (four years ago) link

He hummed a tune by Buzzcocks, "I don't mind" he thought it was, although he couldn't be sure.

Mark G, Wednesday, 20 May 2020 06:31 (four years ago) link

For the first time since brutally eliminating Jeremy, Eddie Murphy felt almost human, but it quickly passed.

A is for (Aimless), Wednesday, 20 May 2020 17:01 (four years ago) link

As did a kidney stone he didn't even know he had.

I am a free. I am not man. A number. (Neanderthal), Sunday, 24 May 2020 00:13 (four years ago) link

“Shlwooopgh!”

budo jeru, Sunday, 24 May 2020 00:15 (four years ago) link

He exclaimed, as the kidney stone came out of his ear.

I am a free. I am not man. A number. (Neanderthal), Sunday, 24 May 2020 00:16 (four years ago) link

It was a process of birth, of spiritual renewal.

budo jeru, Sunday, 24 May 2020 00:18 (four years ago) link

A bit of Eddie's brain came with it, but he found the overall effect was very refreshing.

A is for (Aimless), Sunday, 24 May 2020 18:36 (four years ago) link

There were parades.

longtime caller, first time listener (man alive), Sunday, 24 May 2020 18:48 (four years ago) link

The processions bubbled up from portals in the ground and stretched out in psychedelic patterns toward the horizon.

budo jeru, Sunday, 24 May 2020 22:24 (four years ago) link

all of a sudden, an unexpected guest arrived - Kadeem Hardison, Eddie's co-star in Vampire in Brooklyn

I am a free. I am not man. A number. (Neanderthal), Sunday, 24 May 2020 22:26 (four years ago) link

He started to play a harpsichord duet with James Redd, whose band, the Blecchs, had been leading the 134th parade brigade.

budo jeru, Sunday, 24 May 2020 22:34 (four years ago) link

Outside in the cold distance a wildcat did growl, for the wind was surprisingly calm, allowing the growl to be audible from so far away.

A is for (Aimless), Monday, 25 May 2020 01:21 (four years ago) link

Pavlov's dog-like, he cracked himself open a cold Labatt with the boys from Canada.

pomenitul, Monday, 25 May 2020 01:30 (four years ago) link

The growl was met by the strains of “Garryowen” as the pipes of the 134th began to skirl.

Spocks on the Run (James Redd and the Blecchs), Monday, 25 May 2020 02:35 (four years ago) link

The psychedelic processions vanished into the ground from whence they had magically emerged at the first notes of the bagpipes (which incidentally were the highland pipes, not the more petite uilleann pipes, nor the gaida, traditional bagpipes of Balkan shepards) as if they were pursued by seven devils holding knives and forks and looking famished.

A is for (Aimless), Monday, 25 May 2020 03:00 (four years ago) link

Suddenly, Eddie felt fatigued of all the merriment, and also possibly of the mild aural brain-loss he had experienced only moments earlier.

longtime caller, first time listener (man alive), Monday, 25 May 2020 05:02 (four years ago) link

The wildcat finished his Labatt and politely wished his Canadian friends a good evening; continued merriment was not his purpose, either.

El Tomboto, Monday, 25 May 2020 05:23 (four years ago) link

Disgusted by the lack of either merriment or drugs, Kadeem Hardison soon left in a huff, while Randall Flagg, who had been waiting, doglike, through it all for Eddie's autograph now left, too, ecstatically clutched a wrinkled Labatt's label, upon the back of which was inscribed, "To my best arch-nemesis ever, respectfully..." followed by a scribble that might have been either 'Eddie Murphy' or else 'Richard Pryor'.

A is for (Aimless), Tuesday, 26 May 2020 16:32 (four years ago) link

He tucked the label into the pages of a book he'd been reading, the second volume of a biography of Adolphus Busch.

budo jeru, Tuesday, 26 May 2020 16:39 (four years ago) link

"Looks like it's down to just you and me," Eddie said to James Redd, "What do you say to a couple of hands of cribbage before we turn in?"

A is for (Aimless), Tuesday, 26 May 2020 16:44 (four years ago) link

one month passes...

The wind blew itself to pieces.

two months pass...

everyone in town that died weirdly came back to life as if they had never been dead, but they smelled REALLY bad.

LaRusso Auto (Neanderthal), Wednesday, 23 September 2020 06:00 (three years ago) link

Nobody remembered the rules of cribbage.

sound of scampo talk to me (El Tomboto), Wednesday, 23 September 2020 07:47 (three years ago) link

As a result, those who had been continuously alive and still had somewhat functional brains could easily convince the recently dead of whatever cribbage rules favored them, enabling them to win the shirts right off the backs of their rather moldy opponents, but these, too, smelled really bad and it didn't improve the looks of the undead, either.

It was an election year.

Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Wednesday, 23 September 2020 16:27 (three years ago) link

The rules for the election seemed to be as unsettled and doubtful as the rules for cribbage had become.
