My Posse

are you ready? I've always been ready. good. me too.

are we there yet? getting closer. I'm in no hurry. me neither.

well that was totally delicious. that's funny, I didn't know you liked cat food. what? you told me it was tuna! well, I'm sure there was some of that in there too. ok, then you lick my fingers. I thought you'd never ask.

wanna rub my back, sweetie? sure darlin'. lower. like that? like that.

you did? when? a long time ago. yeah? how long? so long there's nothing left of that world but the memories. which are fading fast. tell me about it. tell you about what? oh, never mind.

aren't you bored here? not with that dress you're wearing, I'm not. good answer.

would you like to go riding today, edna? oh, yes, stanley. can we take the hounds? of course. I'll have chef prepare a light snack. how thoughtful of you! there is little in this world I wouldn't do for you, darling. yes, I know. thank you. one thing, though. what's that, dear? you know the carcasses of the hanged? yes. they disobeyed you. we may ride past them. you are stern with the help, dear. but I'm so looking forward to a ride. wonderful, darling.

scout to base. we are approaching the enemy camp. we await your coordinates, scout. roger that. then send in the missiles. when we do, don't forget to duck. you got it, base. Jimmy 10/27/47 - 8/11/12

is it far? we're almost there. what will it look like? like nothing you've ever seen before. will I like it? I promise you will. ok daddy.

comfy? yes, very. me too. I thought so.

mind if I sit back here with you? sure. just stay on your half of the seat. I wouldn't dream of doing anything else. sure you wouldn't.

any news, number 99? yes, HQ. I see new defensive walls and other structures. be careful, 99, don't get spotted. there is also a lot of activity, using shovels and pails full of water. hmmm. what do you think that means? I don't know, but can I have ice cream now, daddy? sure, baby.

how much longer? just a little. I'm bored! why don't you play with your iphone? dad! they haven't been invented yet! oh. right.

you know how when it snows at night, the lights all twinkle? yes, baby. and you know how rain makes the night a lot darker? uh huh. and you know the sound the baby frogs make in the spring? yes, I do. can we get some ice cream now? sure, nor.

tan lines on cool sheets. what could be better? a long island iced tea, maybe? coming right up.

uh oh. what's the matter? their's something back there. what is it? I dunno, but I think you better speed up.

hey louie, whatcha doin'? ah nothin'. just hoping these humans throw me a scrap. forget it louie. that ain't gonna happen. no? no. look at 'em. they're all caught up in the sunset thing. yeah. I just don't get what they see in it. me neither. dumb useless species, you ask me. I didn't ask, but I think you nailed it. if they'd throw us a scrap, I could change my mind. what's a mind?

say goodbye to civilization, darlin', we're hittin' the road. when are we coming back, joe? maybe never, baby. never? but what about momma? she can't come.
