....ignoring these portents, she turned off the radio and thought about her forthcoming marriage to Tarquin Cholmondeley-de Vere-Watt-Watson.

...Georgette, looking guilty, came up behind Tarquin and looped her arms around his waist, "Oh baby, I'm sorry, I'll get you a new one - this time in color, on black velvet, it'll glow in the dark!" And so...

Emil Miller

The wedding cake looked like a white cruiseship on the turquoise table.

Emil Miller
06-03-2014, 01:30 PM
It was a replica of the USS Taxhaven that was to take the newlyweds off on their honeymoon to the Cayman Islands where Tarquin kept his $40 billion piggybank.

Sancho
06-03-2014, 05:15 PM
Tarquin's friends, an odd assortment of investment bankers, bond traders, pyramid schemers, grifters, racketeers, and politicians, were all highly impressed with the couple's the wedding cake.

06-04-2014, 04:07 AM
The bride's maid was an actress of soundless movies and the groom's best man was little Johnny. Although they called him little, he was tall and as old as the jokes about him. Therefore,

The recently paroled Cletus Snuggins, smiling a winning smile and displaying his impressive gold grillwork, quickly made his way across the lawn towards the the Snake-Oil magnate. He...

tonywalt
06-04-2014, 10:50 AM
"Does it have approval from the HMRA and/or FDA - and if he does, wouldn't you already have investors?"

Sancho
06-04-2014, 11:01 AM
"Ah, the old baldness-cure racket, screw the FDA" said McSwain. "Count me in, but you're thinking too small, Cletus, old boy, think exponentially. Here's what we do: first we incorporate; then we hype your potion through the media, which I own; then we find an underwriter and offer it as an IPO on the Nasdaq; the stock will go wild; then we short the hell out of it, and leak the story that your formula is a sham. We'll make millions. Are you with me?..."

tonywalt

Maybe

Emil Miller
06-04-2014, 11:28 AM
Well, OK Wayne, we could say that it contains the secret ingredient 'Bristletone VO7' based on an ancient formula found in an Aztec tomb in Wisconsin.

Sancho
06-04-2014, 12:28 PM
Good thinking, Cletus, old chap, and I'll have my people leak that the 'V' in 'Bristletone VO7' stands for 'virility', that way we'll cut into Viagra racket as well. Now...

Emil Miller
06-04-2014, 12:55 PM
...I've just thought of a TV jingle for Baldness Begone:

While your hair begins to grow
Your libido retrieves its glow
From a dying ember
VO7's just the thing
It puts a veritable spring
Back in your tired member.

Sancho
06-04-2014, 04:59 PM
Brilliant! We can't lose, but we're gonna need a fall-guy, a sap, a sucker, you know somebody with more money than sense. Hmm...and then all eyes fell on...

Emil Miller
06-05-2014, 03:11 AM
'But would he be able to get the word order right in the adverts? I mean, he'd probably say :

While your hair begins to glow
Your libido retrieves its grow.....etc.etc.'

Sancho
06-05-2014, 07:54 AM
"You know, McSwain, that statement almost works either way."

Meanwhile, across the lawn, next to the ice sculpture, not far from the taco bar, just across from the chocolate fountain, a commotion was brewing...

Emil Miller
06-05-2014, 10:32 AM
.....it appeared that some gatecrashers had hauled down the union flag and hoisted the flag of the confederacy.

Sancho
06-05-2014, 11:25 AM
As it turned out, the civil war reenactment in the adjacent valley had spilled over into the wedding party, and as folks are prone to do, sides were chosen and the whole thing turned into a real brouhaha; and of course the ever present fog of war was evidenced by the confusion over which battle was being re-enacted, with the men in gray believing it to be the Battle of First Manassas and the men in blue believing it to be Gettysburg. At any rate...

Emil Miller
06-05-2014, 04:38 PM
....in the course of the melee George W Bush was knocked out by a well-aimed Coca Cola bottle from the Northern forces while Jeb counter attacked for the South by braining Tarquin with a bottle of Southern Comfort.

Sancho
06-05-2014, 06:41 PM
With Dubya down twitching and drooling like a crack baby, and bloodied Tarquin trying mightily to regain control of his sphincter muscle, the Blues and the Grays engaged each other in total warfare. Jeb led his men right trying to out maneuver the left flank of the Union men, who were clustered around a little round table topped with baked goods and confectionary treats.

All the guests...

Sancho
06-07-2014, 12:29 PM

Bush was still living (owing largely to advances in anti-aging pharmaceutical technology at Bristol-Glaxo-Myers-Smith-Merck-Squib-Kline-Bayer International Corporation), long after The Dow had hit 100,000, and long-long after it had become apparent that the twins would both have a richly thick monobrow that even the 43rd President of the United States could envy.

Sancho
07-09-2014, 01:20 PM
But after a couple of shots of McSwain's Magic Elixir, just to settle his nerves, Poppa Pico, with a glazed look in his eye, wandered off more-or-less in the direction of the East River, singing (somewhat off key) his own version of O' Sole Mio.

Emil Miller
07-09-2014, 01:59 PM
Meanwhile, Backup Obummer was seated in the oval office trying to figure out a knotty problem
that had bugged him for weeks, but he set aside playstation 4 when he got a call from his personal
security adviser to say that the mob were gunning for him.

Emil Miller

If Papa Picolino could be made head of the Federal Reserve, he could print as much money as he wanted and thus the threat posed to Obummer would be immediately lifted. The president reached for the phone....

Sancho
07-10-2014, 08:52 AM

Poppa Pico as Fed Chief could easily bring down the entire global monetary system, and for what, thought POTUS, to save my skin, so rather than dialing up Janet Yellen El Presidente punched in a well-known number, and after ringing only once a man at the other end of the line picked up and said...

Emil Miller
07-10-2014, 03:33 PM
Hi Dick, it's the President here. I want to discuss a little problem we have with one of your fellow Texans, a certain Wayne McSwayne. I don't want to discuss it over the phone because walls have ears: or as my predecessor would have said 'ears have walls'.

Sancho
07-10-2014, 04:08 PM
"Heh-heh, boy-howdy, you ain't tellin' me nothin' - them ears do have walls, and McSwain's a piece of work, eh? Tell what we're gonna do, El Hefe, why 'on't'cha fly on down here on 'r Force 1 and we'll meet, face to face, man to man, have a little mano-a-mano; we got us a real whoop-de-do brewing down on the border anyhow, might be able to work sumpin' out, compredee?"

Emil Miller

'Well nothing personal like, but I seem to remember when a US President was last invited to Texas for such a shindig, it didn't work out as well as expected.'

Sancho
07-10-2014, 10:02 PM
"Awe hell, Mr. President, we ain't kilt no presidents since...uhh...way back in...hmm..." The President heard the Governor put his hand over the mouth piece, but he could still make out what he was saying: "Hey, uh, Nadine, when's the last U.S. President thet Texas killed?...uh-huh...oh yeah...him huh...alright then," then quite clearly "you ain't got nothin' to worry about, sir, we ain't killed no presidents since '63, and he prolly needed killin', so anyway, what's this problem thet's got yer panties all in a bunch?"

Emil Miller
07-11-2014, 05:37 AM
'Well OK then. I was thinking that if you could persuade the presidential assassins to get McSwayne, I could arrange for the CIA to eliminate Poppa Piccolino, who he's hired to get me, and everyone would be happy. Natch the proverbial will hit the fan, what with McSwayne being such a big wheel and all, but we could shrug it off as a conspiracy theory as we usually do.'

Sancho

"Hey, big guy, I know I ain't no rocket surgeon, but I wasn't just born on a turnip truck yesterday either. What's in it for me?"

Emil Miller
07-12-2014, 04:05 AM
Well I would have thought you'd realise. After all, you're the second biggest shareholder in McSwayne's snake oil company and with McSwayne out of the way your long-rumoured wish to take it over would be a walk in the park, or a palk in the wark as my predecessor would have said.

Sancho
07-12-2014, 08:43 AM
"Heh-heh, hush now, those shares are all in a blind trust, you know, me being Guv-ner of TEXAS and all. But even if I did (allegedly) own a near controlling stake in McSwain Industries, I don't really want to run the biz, you know, me being Guv-ner of TEXAS and all, I'd rather let Wayne do the down and dirty, and anyway it seems to me that his (and allegedly my) biggest problem is your Horse-Pucky-Commie-Pinko-Socialist-Democrat Healthcare program. Gimme sompin I kin work with, big guy."

Emil Miller
07-12-2014, 01:59 PM
OK here's the deal. I'll order a drone hit on DreamWorks studio complex and blame some arabs for an attack on America's highest cultural achievement, before launching a massive retaliation. I'll give you the nod before the drone attack and you can buy into DreamWorks before pulling out on receipt of my warning pending its destruction. It'll mean really big bucks.

Sancho
07-12-2014, 09:58 PM
"Great sufferin' hornytoads, man! What is ya, some kinda embezzle? some kinda ultramaroon? Ya can't bomb DreamWorks, they came up with the roughest, toughest, rootinest, tootinest, shootinest, hombre to ever cross the Rio Grand - name of Yosemite Sam. The rabbit's pretty good too. That was DreamWorks wasn't it? Anyway what sorta lily-livered, low-down varmint uses a drone when he kin just bust in six-shooters a-blazin'?

Emil Miller
07-13-2014, 07:41 AM
Yeah well it wasn't my idea. I got it from a former Vice Presidential book on foreign policy initiatives by Chick Deney, but if you could think up something better I'll even put a 'Vote Perryballs' sticker on my car if you decide to run for the Presidency when I retire.

Sancho
07-13-2014, 08:41 PM
"Okay here's the dealeo, Delores, you gotta problem - I gotta problem. You fix mine and I'll fix yours - crisscross. You take a couple of hundred thousand miniature wetbacks offa my hands, and I'll have the TEXAS Rangers take care of your Cosa Nostra problem - they like greasin' greasers. Then I'll personally shoot Wayne McSwain, right in the nuts, or my name ain't Dick Perryballs."

"Heh-heh...'Dick Perryballs for President'...on a Backup bumper sticker...I can't lose!"

And thus the American political system entered a golden age of mutual respect and cooperation between the political parties as well as between the three branches of government at the Federal, State, and Local levels. Former President G. Dubya Bush described it best when he summoned the highest order of his unique linguistic powers and commented:

"Well, I reckon we're all sh*ttin' in tall cotton now."

Last week, in a bizarre turn of events, Texas Governor Dick Perryballs was indicted by a Federal Grand Jury for the crime of Indecent Exposure. The indictment was the result of a lawsuit filed on behalf of Texas Attorney General, Rosemarie Mascervezasporfavor, who accused the governor of exposing himself to her and members of her staff during a late-night Justice Department meeting at the Texas State Supreme Court Building in Austin.

In an exclusive interview with this reporter, the Attorney General said, "I was embarrassed for him. He just burst in, dropped trou', and said, 'Hey, Rose, check out Big Ed and the Twins!'." She added, "It was pathetic, in more ways than one, if you know what I mean." Then she gave me creepy, solicitous wink.

In a statement after his arraignment at the Federal Courthouse, the Governor said of Attorney General, "She digs me..." He then seemed to be fishing around for something in his pants pockets when he added, "...and my pair of hairy and stately balls."

Most watchers of Texas politics consider the lawsuit to be without merit and simply a political maneuver designed to complicate Mr Perryballs' intention to run for President of the United States in the next election cycle. Karl Rove, Deputy White House Chief of Staff under President George W. Bush, yawned conspicuously said, "That's just how we roll down here in TEXAS, yup-yup-yup-howdy-howdy, business as usual." While David Axelrod, campaign advisor for President Barrack Obama, commented, "Mmm-hmm, they play hard-ball politics down there in Texas."
