he was just a punk from the wrong side of town.

He drove an old Pinto

OM45GE - Posted - 12/03/2021:  14:47:28

with a “Caution Flammable “ bumper sticker.

He thought it was

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 12/04/2021:  05:44:57

appropriate considering his combustible temperament.

It

OM45GE - Posted - 12/04/2021:  05:49:04

wasn’t unusual for him to be in a state of road rage constantly.

He was so angry

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 12/04/2021:  07:50:55

that his new job at the nuclear reactor required him to take anger management classes, that it made him melt down.

Occasionally

chuckv97 - Posted - 12/04/2021:  11:02:47

he relaxed on a barstool at Grim Jim’s.

Jim warned him

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 12/04/2021:  13:12:51

that customers with glowing green eyes are limited to three beers.

That didn’t

OM45GE - Posted - 12/04/2021:  18:07:44

stop him from buying a round for the house.

Everyone

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 12/04/2021:  19:04:39

eventually ended up with a glowing shine-on by the end of the evening.

When

chuckv97 - Posted - 12/04/2021:  20:43:27

the vice squad walked in sniffing for trouble everybody stood up and gave them a standing ovation.

Jim pulled his fire alarm

OM45GE - Posted - 12/05/2021:  13:03:45

and everyone ran into the street.

There were several

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 12/06/2021:  15:10:02

wrapped presents with no name tags under the Cleaver family Christmas tree.

The Beaver

chuckv97 - Posted - 12/06/2021:  15:20:58

conveyed the stern message to Eddie Haskell that those aforementioned gifts were not his.



Eddie then asked Lumpy’s father, Mel Cooley,

OM45GE - Posted - 12/06/2021:  16:55:00

why on earth he named his son “Lumpy”.

Mr. Rutherford said, “Have you ever…”

chuckv97 - Posted - 12/06/2021:  18:29:34

seen the rain?”

Eddie was baffled

OM45GE - Posted - 12/07/2021:  03:06:55

given his utter lack of interest in the Creedence Clearwater Revival.

His musical tastes run to

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 12/07/2021:  05:44:53

the Eddie Cochran camp, his favorite song being “Summertime Blues”

He drives a 57

chuckv97 - Posted - 12/07/2021:  08:15:42

Heinz converted over-sized ketchup bottle.

He figures the chicks

OM45GE - Posted - 12/07/2021:  12:00:21

will be impressed by his eclectic personality.

Either that, or they

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 12/07/2021:  15:20:56

will have an instant desire for waffle-cut fries and a greasy bar burger.

that exists in their delusional minds.

Reality is a

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 12/08/2021:  09:53:17

a totally subjective issue, governed by easily impressible human minds, which are influenced by perceived “facts” beneficial mostly to the owner of that mind.

That said

latest carbuncle has a 4 barrel carb.

And my boil

OM45GE - Posted - 12/08/2021:  13:10:17

has to be seen to be believed.

Come on over and

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 12/08/2021:  14:05:09

and bring your lance and safety glasses for a "Pokin' Party".



It’s advisable

to be well armed in case of attacks by the offended boiler-maker.

Speaking of booze

OM45GE - Posted - 12/09/2021:  03:20:01

, I don’t drink anymore.

I don’t drink any less either, but

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 12/09/2021:  04:38:13

the good news is; that I’m consistent.



My first

Edited by - Pick-A-Lick on 12/09/2021 04:39:40

OM45GE - Posted - 12/09/2021:  05:07:43

thought when I wake up is, “Where the hell am I?”

My second thought

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 12/09/2021:  05:26:22

is that I should check to see if all of my parts are intact.

Once

chuckv97 - Posted - 12/09/2021:  07:41:06

I brought car parts into my bed as a mental comfort zone.

The fender skirt

OM45GE - Posted - 12/09/2021:  11:05:37

wasn’t as comfortable as I had hoped.

In fact,

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 12/09/2021:  14:34:27

the whole experience left me feeling flat, tired, shiftless and greasy, and I woke up too oily in the morning.



I discovered

chuckv97 - Posted - 12/09/2021:  14:44:46

back seat from a 1948 DeSoto at the Goodwill drop-off center.

Other than a few stains

OM45GE - Posted - 12/09/2021:  17:40:56

of questionable origin, it was in nice shape.

My biggest concern

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 12/10/2021:  07:30:50

was; why is there a back seat from a 48 DeSoto for sale at a the Goodwill?

Upon investigating

chuckv97 - Posted - 12/10/2021:  08:41:50

I realized Jake’s Kar-Parts was next door and somehow that ol’ back seat had migrated to the Goodwill.

It could have been the whisk(e)y

KyBanjo - Posted - 12/10/2021:  12:03:44

as it was unknown how much they actually consumed that evening.

Seems like if they would

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 12/10/2021:  15:48:03

-‘ve gotten totally plastered they would have kept the old seat for a sleeper.

Late one evening

OM45GE - Posted - 12/10/2021:  18:19:37

I decided to stay up past my bedtime.

By eight o’clock

chuckv97 - Posted - 12/10/2021:  19:50:44

I began to hear wolves howling.

My tent

OM45GE - Posted - 12/11/2021:  03:02:30

beg and to seem like a flimsy protection from fanged predators.

Fortunately, I

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 12/11/2021:  05:37:20

had my banjo at hand!



I began

OM45GE - Posted - 12/11/2021:  10:58:16

to play Cripple Creek as loud as I can.

The wolves

chuckv97 - Posted - 12/11/2021:  11:48:54

we’re stunned into silence.

Some even hightailed it

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 12/11/2021:  13:35:46

into town to check out the dumpster behind Jimmy’s Lunch.

It always seems

OM45GE - Posted - 12/11/2021:  14:19:41

they get a hankering for Jimmy’s orts and leavings after hearing a round of Cripple Creek.

Perhaps they

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 12/12/2021:  05:21:02

developed bad taste after hearing banjo music.



Whatever happened
