After sitting down to our meal and finding out all sorts of juicy gossip about these two, Gitslayer decides it's time to take us on a tour of the eye-popping sights and sounds of Sunset Blvd. Unfortunately, we arrived in between shifts of the hookers, so there was no "eyecandy" to be beheld.
Seething with anger at this presumed rebuff, Gitslayer stalked off aimlessly (he gets lost easily) in search of further prey. It was then that Smash calmed him down and steered him in the direction of a local high school (a mere Bataan Death's March away) where Git attempted to insert himself in a film documentary of depicting the mysterious lives of priviledged teenaged youth. He was promptly wrestled out of the area by a burly LA female policeofficer who thought she recognised him from an APB out on a Hispanic male who (allegedly) was a serial flasher. Once again, it was through Smash's intervention that Git was not hauled off to jail where he'd have some 'splainin' to do to Lucy, his lovely redheaded wife.
And on we walked. And walked. And walked. It could have been hours, it might have been days-- who knows? --before we arrived at our Utopia, the strip mall of strip malls, but alas, it was not to be. My parking meter was quickly emptying itself of minutes and I had to refill its' ever-voracious belly with quarters. In light of this fact, we turned around and trudged back in the direction from whence we came. One thing had become lucidly clear: Smasharoo truly does have roots on the NorthEast Coast, where public transportation and feet are the preferred mode of locomotion.
At last we arrived at a pleasant coffe shop whereupon I quickly spied some semi-famous third tier black actor whose name I can't recall. I almost peed my pants in excitement at the prospect of getting what's-his-name's autograph, but here again, Smash's savoir faire saved the day. "Here in LA you gotta be cool. Act like you see these people all the time, nod your head as they pass by, and then go about your business. After all, they are just people like you and me-- they put their pants on one leg at a time. Well, I don't, but that is fodder for a different discussion."
At long last, it was time to feast upon the dessert of the day: meeting the enigmatic Thundra.
