Okay, does anyone still not believe in three's? June Allyson, Mickey Spillane and Syd Barrett.

Since I haven't a clue who Syd Barrett is, I can safely say my disbelief is intact.

She walked into my office like a story gone bad...all legs, red mouth and the kind of hair a man could get lost in.

Awww, goodbye to Mickey, what memories he leaves behind. Job well done, RIP/

I didn't know he lived in Murrell's Inlet - I love that place, especially the Brookgreen scultpure gardens.

" I was in my cubicle waiting for my lunch, when in he walked
without knocking. He was the kind of guy you could tell
never knocked when there was no door on the cubicle.

He had a jaw so square, you could measure rooms with it. He
was holding a pizza box so square you could put a pizza in
it. He had the kind of laughing eyes that somehow never got
the joke. He had hair so slippery, even Sonny Bono could
have skied safely on it.

He said, "That'll be $19.99 for your veggie and sausage pie
and did you hear Mickey Spillane got clipped, knocked off,
whacked, fitted with cement shoes, popped." He had an eye
for trouble and an ear for slang.

"He's dead?" I whispered, in a voice so husky, June Allyson
would have been jealous, if she hadn't been whacked, too.

"Dead," he said, in a voice so barely audible, you could
hardly hear it, "The kind of dead you don't come back from."

"You mean he's sleeping with the fishes?" I asked. "No, ya
blonde bimbo, not sleeping, dead," he spat the words at me
through the cheap, tinny braces he wore, or maybe it was
just the drool that was snagged on them.

......................................


It hurts like Darren McGavin and Mickey Spillane both dying
and not taking Stacy Keach with them."
