"Bullocks",exclaimed Transportation, "Big Bloody Bullocks
on the lot of them!" Transportation was nestled snugly in his corduroy
trousers with the oversized buttons seemingly punching their way into
your sub-cortex, if you were quick enough to snatch a glance at them.
He had just read the morning news. It seemed that a well-to-do scholar
of Princeton was trying to dismiss his theory of Consequence-and-Result
as pure rubbish. Transportation knew his theory was just, and he could
prove it. Boisterous in size, yet riding low to the ground, Transportation
headed to his private laboratory to retrieve the jagged-edged jigsaw blade
from his damp, roach infested toolbox. The method of retrieval for an
object in the toolbox was to close the eyes tightly, reach in with one
hand and feel around. If you feel anything squishy or putrid, you ignore
it and continue your search. Squelch McBratton was the soothsayer whom
so sayeth that Transportations theory was nothing but a meaningless concoction
of scribbles, scripts and scribes. Dancing in his enhanced fancy pants,
by chance, he thought perhaps he shouldn't have been so harsh on Transportation,
for he was but a mere pauper struggling to fiddle his way to freedom.
He fudged a lot, but none was the observer to such. In blind neglect,
Squelch spun his head too quickly one day after taking a sip of Fuzzy
Naval Cola and has since been restricted to keeping his skull in the forward
position, only swiveling north to south and vise-versa and what-nots.
None was to pity him, though, as he was one of the richest men in Woodchipper
Grove. Not only was he rich, but he was admired in a way that a skinless
man might envy the dead. To say he was equisite would surely be the end,
the absolute end. It would also be keen, tops, and sweet, Swisherly-sweet,
if you will. But his was not a tale of personal triumph, but an oblong
journey into the depths of a condemned man's soul. Condemned to the bowels
of hell, was he. Smitten by the love bug. The Winsuckles who lived in
the tattered barn across the corn field were watching him, and keeping
an eyeball out for any mischievous behavior which might impale Squelch
upon his own wooden stake. Bloodied and war-torn, Mr. Winsuckle had a
personal vandetta against Squelch, for his was a life of leisure, or so
thought Mr. Winsuckle, and man was not spawned to participate in such
ridaldry. And so, with one eye reading "God Has Ninety-Nine Hands",
and one eye out the window, the lantern was always in the window to catch
Squelch in a bulbous act of obscenity and perverse inhumanity. "Bring
him to his knees, I will. Make 'em pay for his wealth and well-being"
mumbled Mr. Winsuckle under the frothy foam of his A&W rootbeer mustache
and goatie, staring bastardlike out of the tall, mahogany-stained, artificial
glass window. "Rich man indeed" he stated as he farted. Then
he opened his mouth as wide as it could go, and belched really loudly.
"Ha ha ha!" he sounded like the devil himself. This was supposed
to be continued but was never finished.
