It was a scene straight out of a Rockwell painting, if Rockwell had been addicted to absinthe.
Four men stood at the edge of a precipice. The four were as unique as snowflakes, if snowflakes had excessive body odor and hairy backs. The first, a tall, addled looking mass of middle age with a head the size of a ripe watermelon, grunted. The man next to him, a shorter fellow given to portliness and the affected air of the soon-to-be well-to-do, burped. To his right and rooted to the earth via his own gravitas, another tall, dark haired man with a perpetually smarmy smirk silently gazed into the abyss, and sighed. The last of the four, a tall blond man with a particularly simian visage, scratched.
Big Head: “What to do, what to do. It’s Saturday night and we’re all staring into the abyss, a vast wasteland of nothingness.”
Well-to-do: “Well, I heard there’s a crack outfit playing some rocking tunes at Trio’s Tavern.”
Smirk: “That’s right, I heard same, and the drummer is supposed to be a chick magnet!”
Simian: “Anybody got a banana?”
Big Head: “Well, what are we waiting for? If it’s good, they’ll be chicks aplenty.”
Well-to-do: “Certainly, we should be able to obtain some fine cold adult beverages and tasty comestibles in that fine establishment, all the while enjoying the groovy tunes provided by THE DECK BAND.”
Smirk: “Hmm, stare into the abyss, or enjoy Trio’s with the Deck Band? Road trip!”
Big Head: “Shotgun!”
Simian: “Hey, how’d your head get so big?”
