Dancing With The Devil

The Associate



The Coyote and The Iguana are currently living in Alaskan exile. We have established a base camp about twenty minutes outside of Seward on the banks of Resurrection River. Tonight we are off to Anchorage to visit The Alaskan Bush Company with an associate of Mister K before he has to catch a plane out of town. Upon departure of The Associate, Coyote and Iguana will return to base camp where we'll be met by dirty women, cold martinis, and hot food. Or was it hot women, dirty martinis, and cold food? Maybe it was cold women, hot martinis, and dirty food. It doesn't matter. Because if Plan A fails then any combination of the above will likely suffice.

Mister K


At present, The Associate is running desperately late to the rendezvous point and it puts the current plan in jeopardy, or at least The Alaskan Bush Company portion of the plan. Should the initial plan fail and result in a direct rally to the airport, The Coyote and Iguana will have to renegotiate. And renegotiation will likely result in a post-departure mission to The Alaskan Bush Company. And that, dear reader, is where the devil comes into the picture.



"It's cheaper than a hotel room" has been coined as a signature line and it has been brought up in repeatedly in unhealthy conversations. Our standards alone have kept us pure. But should the devil win tonight... Should The Voice Of Reason further distance itself from us... Then we will all need a long hot shower with Brillo pads, ammonium nitrate, and that gritty Lava soap that mechanics have laying around in the auto body shop. No doubt we will need it even though it is the kind of dirt that never really washes off. And no doubt that it will pollute your minds, question your own standards, and have you running to the shower as well.

***INTERMISSION***

The Coyote and Iguana have returned to base camp with little but a fart left in the gas tank of the Dung Beetle. And this is the end of what should be an ongoing story. It must be terminated to protect the minds of the readers, the identity of the victims, and the dignities of all others involved.
