The Journey To HR, Part 74!



Star Child Two hovered in front of my face as I continued pointing at the tag and the surrounding ruckus and slight melee continued.

It slowly bonked my head and started slowly flying away.

“You want me to follow?” I asked.

Star Child Two nodded.

“You can nod?” I asked as I began following.

It nodded again.

The screams became louder as the ruckus continued and the melee became much stronger.

“Cretins,” I muttered to myself.

Star Child Two stopped at a trash bin and hovered.

“I have no trash,” I said.

Star Child Two shook.

“Oh,” I said. “You want me to barf! In the garbage can! Smart! VERY SMART!”

Star Child Two continued to shake.

“Well, let’s see what I can spew out. Forgot what I last ate, but there’s gotta be something! AM I RIGHT??!!”

I closed my eyes, blocked out all the hubbub, leaned over the can and began retching.

After a few minutes, success!

Lots of chunks and liquid spewed out of my mouth.

I spit out a few liquid chunks, backed up, wiped my mouth with my hands and proudly looked up at Star Child Two.

“I feel tremendous!” I exclaimed.

Star Child Two was bobbing up and down above the trash can.

Faster and faster it went.

“You mean…..” I said, pointing at the trash bin.

It nodded.

I went back to the trash bin and looked inside.

There were three phones, all covered with vomit.

“Ah-HA!” I said, grabbing them.

Star Child Two nodded again and flew away.

“SUCCESS!” I yelled as I held up the phones for all to see, disregarding the sloppy goo dripping down my arms.

All around me, the ruckus, screaming and melee continued.

A chunk of glop landed in my eye.

Then I was tackled from behind.

The idea of building a website with Bob came from Stephen in the days of message boards and chat rooms. We settled on the name TheWeirdcrap.com and the rest is history. Retired since he hit the ripe age of 25, he spends most his time doing odd-jobs around the house and digging thru trash bins for "stuff that's still good." Stephen has contributed several short stories and hosted the "Lunatic Ravings" column since the beginning (1999). The idea of writing weekly columns came from Stephen before blogs or blog sites ever existed. So, I guess that makes him THE FIRST BLOGGER IN THE WORLD!!!
