special thanks to Some Guy for finding this on the Keno board:
The guy we all once knew as just “JB.”
And now here he was, at 9 a.m. in the Valley, gathering up his smokes and shuffling past me, eyes down, smelling of three-day-old liquor, and out the door to the dirty Toyota Land Cruiser, and the young, moderately pretty woman (certainly no boner queen) who waited for him behind the wheel, smoking her long, chica Marlboro Light 100 and yammering into her cell phone. Didn’t she know who this was? He’s a Rocks Off God, you jabbering skank! Pay some respect and at least open the door for this faded titan.
But she didn’t pay respect, nor did she even notice as my boyhood hero walked to the front of the Land Cruiser, banged his head a few times on the thin metal hood, and then mock collapsed, before slogging wearily to the passenger door, as if it was all too much effort. Like he was exhausted from the smoke stacking, from the journey, from the memories of what he once was and what he will never get to be again.
By this time, I stopped looking, for maybe the same reason that JB’s female friend stopped looking, as we all want to remember our Gods and Monsters the way we did as children, when all seemed possible, and men could be made giants, and giants into the infinite.
I didn’t even look to see where he went, or in which direction, because I already knew, and didn’t need to know the truth. At least not this time. |

sounds like he's seen his share of better days
I'm guessing the flank pain, severe scalp twitching and increasing use of tarps may of led him to seek refuge in booze, skank escorts and crystal meth
we must pray that he is strong enough to find his way back

I hear him and nanky joined forces to represent all the sheep farmers in Scotland. They went over for a briefing two months ago and have not been heard from since. I did get one voice mail saying, OH NO IT's JOE.........A Chicago bar joke. |
