ARLINGTON CEMETERY

Posted by Yabu at 12:00 AM
From the Mailbag. I’ve seen it before. Make your throat thick, so to say. Tomb of the Unknown Soldier 1. How many steps does the guard take during his walk across the tomb of the Unknowns, and why? 21 steps: It alludes to the twenty-one gun salute which is the highest honor given any  military or foreign dignitary. 2. How long [...]

Just Another Story

Posted by Yabu at 11:50 AM
I OUTRAN THE RADIO? MAYBE. I was driving a 302 small block Z-28 (68 or 69) when I heard the siren and saw the lights, in the rearview. I had three of my buddies with me; we’d just made a beer run, and we were underage. It was almost dark, so there was no way he [...]

Another Story

Posted by Yabu at 07:18 PM
Vilano Beach, FL. Early 70’s I was living there with a bunch of my buddies, and we had a nice four bedroom crib on the beach. We called it the circle Y…you can figure that out for yourself. All we wanted was the good thing. We tried to run as many chicks through the place as [...]

There Is A Ketch To Everything

Posted by Yabu at 03:00 PM
We returned from the bank with the third key, and some cash, and the note. From the note, we could tell we were headed to Machu Picchu. Simone and I had a “problem” in the Urubamba Valley once, so I asked Domino to contact Rosen, and get there first. Simone and I couldn’t take a [...]

Bad Double PL Jar Juju

Posted by Yabu at 12:25 PM
I was out of town with the Juju Woman, when a friend, as a joke, gave us a jar of Peter Lick and a jar of Pussy Lick. He had just accepted the position of “Best Man” for our future syncing. My vehicle (American made piece of shit Chevy Blazer) broke down on the [...]

Dangerous Connections

Posted by Yabu at 02:01 PM
I had the cash for the pipe, but our contact refused…the only way we could complete the deal was with 1000 kilos of uncut heroin. The pipe was priceless. The pipe was old and had a history. Domino and I had been trying to find this pipe for many years. Shit, now we had [...]

Fool’s Mate

Posted by Yabu at 06:04 PM
The luck of the draw. Nope. The luck of the dice. Nope. Any luck. Nope. I love Chess, although I’m not really good at it. I, sometimes, can hold my own, but not very often. I can think through long games, depends on the conversation, and how much drink is involved. I’ve played chess since my father [...]

My Little Buddy Stretch

Posted by Yabu at 10:34 PM
Stretch and I go on long patrols. Always have. He is as loyal as loyal can be. He’s been attacked by other dogs with no discipline, and I’ve had to get between ‘em. Kicked a few, had to. A pitt bull got all up on him the other day, and I told the owner if [...]
