Total recall.
No, no. Good monster. You don't want to kill your benefactor, do you? Here ... have some more porridge, there's a good chap. (Hoo boy.)
Oh, hi. Yep, that's right; I'm in the process of talking down one of Mitch Macaphee's greatest creations (at least in his own estimation). Yes, it seems that Freakenstein, once set loose by Dr. Macaphee, did a tear around the neighborhood, pulling up lamp posts, opening fire hydrants, and generally making a nuisance of himself. He went into the local pawn shop and got a few items out of hock - items he, of course, had no personal connection with (since he was only just invented and has never known the joys of personal property) but nonetheless liked anyway. What did he use for money? No cash needed ... when you're Freakenstein.
Okay, so ... predictably, the complaints start rolling in from all over town. And it's clear that we need to do something about this. It was a bit like when Big Zamboola first got here and started throwing his hyper-energized magnetic fields all over the place. Or like Matt's used vegetable stand (every item guaranteed recovered from passing produce trucks). What do those things have in common? Not much, except the fact that people complained mightily about them. That's what happened with Freakenstein, prompting us to ask Mitch to call his sorry ass back to the mill.
Well, so Mitch deputized Marvin (my personal robot assistant) and put him on the task. He was clever enough to fire up Trevor James Constable's orgone generating device and point it in the general direction of the monster. Well, land o' goshen, that worked like laying out breadcrumbs - he just followed that beam right back here, his arms loaded with ill-gotten swag (mostly from the pawn shop), some worn-looking Bean boots on his oversized paddles. Now it falls to me to talk him out of trashing the mill ... even worse than it's trashed now, that is. And hell, he's feisty. (I don't mean he likes listening to Feist, either. Literalist.)
Well, somehow in the midst of all this pointless activity, I had time to post another episode of our podcast, THIS IS BIG GREEN, now available on iTunes. Check it out, manzie. And keep an eye on your fire hydrants. Never know.
