MYSTERY LIGHTS ONCE AGAIN REPORTED
IN JEFFERSON TRACT
Kineo Town Manager: 'I Don't Know What They
Are; But They Keep ing Back'
SSDD
It became their motto; and Jonesy couldn't for the life of him remember which of them started saying it first。 Payback's a bitch; that was his。 Fuck me Freddy and half a dozen even more colorful obscenities originated with Beaver。 Henry was the one who taught them to say What goes around es around; it was the kind of Zen shit Henry liked; even when they were kids。 SSDD; though; what about SSDD? Whose brainstorm had that been?
Didn't matter。 What mattered was that they believed the first half of it when they were a quartet and all of it when they were five and then the second half of it when they were a quartet again。
When it was just the four of them again; the days got darker。 There were more fuck…me…Freddy days。 They knew it; but not why。 They knew something was wrong with them … different; at least … but not what。 They knew they were caught; but not exactly how。 And all this long before the lights in the sky。 Before McCarthy and Becky Shue。
SSDD: Sometimes it's just what you say。 And sometimes you believe in nothing but the darkness。 And then how do you go along?
1988: Even Beaver Gets the Blues
To say that Beaver's marriage didn't work would be like saying that the launch of the Challenger space shuttle went a little bit wrong。 Joe 'Beaver' Clarendon and Laurie Sue Kenopensky make it through eight months and then kapow; there goes my baby; somebody help me pick up the fuckin pieces。
The Beav is basically a happy guy; any of his hang…out buddies would tell you
