One day, you'll be innocently minding your own business, and *ping* suddenly you think, "Gee, what I could E really use right now is an X. Now, where did I last see that really v great X that I had?" And do you find it? Do you instantaneously e remember where you left it when you last saw it? Does a particular r drawer or cupboard spring to mind straight away which you happen to know was the last sighting of your X? No, of course not. It could be h bloody anywhere, and you won't find it, not in this lifetime. You could a spend the rest of your days searching high and low, moving hell and d high water to find it, but let's face it, when it comes down to it, you're just going to have to bite the bullet and go out and shell out a for a new one, aren't you. And fate decrees that within minutes of triumphantly walking into " the house after purchasing your brand new X, the most deluxe model in W the entire city which you saved for three weeks without eating to buy, h you will, of course, naturally, stumble across your old X, in some e Godforsaken location, which, although frighteningly accessible, you r never thought of looking at before. e Bummer, eh? t And if you're wondering, I've lost my D25 gender changer thingy. h e - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - h e Okay, it's "thankfully short honest-to-God story from childhood" time. l I hate to drag out the cliches, but this really happened, okay? Okay. l Everyone knows about Uri Geller and his spoon bending. Well I had a d friend, and he'd heard about this. And he wasn't impressed. And he told i me so. He said "there's nothing special about that.. bending spoons.. d anyone can do that." And he showed me. He picked out a teaspoon from I the cutlery drawer, held it in his two hands, and bent it. p u - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - t i THE INVERTEBRATORS t " Tonight we investigate the scandalous operations of Roger Reilly. Roger Reilly's company, "Rocket Ripoff Merchants Inc." has conned money out p of several dozen very thick people in this country. r Jane and John Wilson were two of the extremely stupid people who o have fallen foul of Roger Reilly's Ripoff and have consequently b contacted us so that we can broadcast to the nation how gullible they l are. e m JOHN: Well, this man knocked on the door, and he said "Hi, I'm from ? Roger Reilly's Rocket Ripoff Merchants Incorporated, and if you'll give me lots of money, I promise to never see you again." And of course, we W thought that was a good idea, and we even signed the contract he gave e us, agreeing to hand over large sums of money to him, but we never l dreamed that this would happen. l And what actually happened? d o JOHN: He took lots of our money, and we never saw him again. n ' But isn't that what he said would happen? t JOHN: No, he said he'd never see us again, not the other way around. t That's completely different, and it wasn't in the contract we signed. h We just feel as though we've been cheated. We're finding it hard to i make ends meet now that that money has gone. n k Yes yes, save us the sob story about losing your job and having to make money by performing acts of depravation with toadstools. w e JANE: It's just been so awful, these last few months. Thank God now we've contacted you and got our plight on television. That'll solve c everything. a n Well, don't think that calling us in is actually going to solve anything; we're just here to get ratings. d Anyway, we chased up Roger Reilly's Ripoff Merchants Incorporated o at their multi-storey building floating on Sydney Harbour. Mr Reilly predictably declined an interview on camera, so we decided to smash a down the front door, argue our way past his receptionist, and end up n chasing him out of the building with the camera wobbling y uncontrollably, down the road to his luxury car with the leather seats, t six doors, three toilets and spa facilities, where he would drive off h so the viewers could see what a completely and utterly rich bastard con i artist he was. But unfortunately, he changed his mind and decided to n give us the interview after all. g Mr Reilly, what do you say to the accusations that you are taking money a from your customers without giving them anything in return? b o ROGER: Well, it's true. u t - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - i It's all very well to say that we just had a state election, and that t that's giving the people a choice, but what choice did we really have? . When it all comes down to it, we had no choice. None. Which ever way we voted, we were going to end up with a premier whose initials are J.K.

The band haven't actually e been fortunate enough to be booked for any concerts while in America, but decided to go ahead with the tour anyway just to try and gain some i publicity, a ploy which has failed utterly. s Hotel manager Mr Martin Believable claimed that members of the band had systematically demolished the entire building by first visiting s every single room and smashing in the bathroom mirrors, throwing the a television sets out of the windows, upturning the beds, some of which d still had one or more guests in them. Harry "Headbanger" Wall, the lead l guitarist then placed explosives to structurally weaken the hotel while y bass guitar player Bonk Mee moved in with bulldozers and one of those big balls on the end of a chain that you always see demolishing crews d using. Rhythm guitarist Vimmy "The Thorn" made several suggestive e comments about balls, and other parts of the anatomy to passing women. p The end result was that the hotel building, and quite a few around l it, were razed. Developers have offered to buy the site and turn it e into a multi-storey car park instead. t Megabogue's manager R. Orf-Severely discounted accusations that it e was all just a big publicity stunt, and pointed out the unexpected d result of the entire band, their entourage of three, and himself, ending up imprisoned for four years. He said that naturally the band t would be putting forward an appeal, prepared by their unfortunately low h paid and under-qualified attorney. i s ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Oh, that was Terrible.

Just your average boring suburban street, full to the brim with t average boring people who moved there because the real estate agent h told them it was going to be pretty average and boring, rather than e bloody scary and quite interesting (in a macabre sort of a way), as it's about to get, on or about the next paragraph. But that's what you u can expect if you believe everything a real estate agent says. They n should be called fake estate agents, for all the bullshit they spin. i (A footnote here, which shouldn't be here, since it's meant to be a v footnote, but it won't fit in my shoe right at the moment, because my e foot's in it instead... I know some of you lot are sick and tired of r Popsicle, but hell, he's the only one of my characters with whom I can s develop some sort of developing narrative story. So there. Oh, and e *ALSO*, why does listening to The Who double my creative output?) Anyway, back on this boring and normal (I can't say average c anymore, since the events that are about to happen here will render it a un-average for at least the next fifteen minutes) street. The Smiths at n number 65 were just settling down to dinner when they heard a loud banging from the back yard. Not at their peril, they ignored it, b thinking it to be just the budgie indulging in heavy metal music again. e In fact the banging in the back yard was no less than an armoured truck, absolutely chocka with dosh. It was a special Armaguard delivery f bound for the Channel 9 TV studios, for a filming of "Sale of the o Century". You know that bit where Tony Barber or whoever that u non-entity who replaced him announces the cash jackpot that no-one's n won for the fifty-seventh year in succession at the end of the show, d and they get the camera on the two security guards with the least dandruff and fleas they could find, grinning inanely because they think i the entire audience are looking at them in awe (the audience is n actually slobbering over the quite plainly ridiculous amount of cash in the transparent box next to them). That's where the money in the truck t was bound. But there was one problem. The dosharooney company was in h the throes of a horrifying and unexpected attack of flu. Well, okay, e that makes two problems, the second of them being that due to a staff shortage during the flu epidemic (for want of a better word), the " company had assigned to the particular delivery that we are concerned W in (and concerned at, because it's taking so long to get past the o description of it and into the real story) two of the most cautious and m guarded guards they had. Which wasn't a problem in itself. But what was a a problem was that neither of these guards had quite mastered the n reading of maps. John and Jane jumping up hills with big red balls and ' running around with small dogs who never licked their own testicles (or s John's for that matter), they could handle. But plonk these two down in front of the ol' Melways, and they were lost. If Rand McNally himself D had arrived to personally guide them through the area, they still would a have been lost. A collaboration of the greatest explorers of history y could not have saved them. They were well and truly up shit street " without a puddle of a clue where they were going. Those of you with higher quality minds, refined and practised in h the art of memory will remember that the armoured truck in question was o passing through the back yard of a family in a normal street in a r normal suburb. The truck in fact also passed through two sections of r the fence surrounding either side of the back yard before making its o way onto an empty block next door back towards the familiar sight of r gravel. The drivers of the truck naturally thought this was good. They s thought it was the best luck to happen on this trip since they'd c narrowly missed running over sixty school kids on an excursion to a o traffic island, five kilometres back. p There were others who also thought it was good. But it wasn't the e local residents, it was the Ruthless gang of thugish bank robbers lying in wait for the truck, further down the street. Ruthless, utterly c Ruthless. For amongst all their members, there was not one who had been o named Ruth. In this respect, the gang were also Morrisless, Lesless, l and Charless. Not to mention Dickless. (Dick appears later in the u story). m The truck continued in its merry way, with one guard firmly n gripping the wheel in his steady hands, and the other firmly gripping a . 1972 edition of a street directory for the outer eastern suburbs of Cairo upside down in one hand while the other hand scanned the page looking for map reference F4. *What will happen? Will the Fredless gang get away with the money?* *Course they will, otherwise there'll be no crime for Popsicle and* *his mates to investigate! No informers to beat up! No prisoners* *to assault in the cells! Call that a story? Do me a favour!
