CHAPTER TWO:



A crescent sun etched it's fiery edge over the horizon, dousing Moab with it's golden warmth over the campsite. As the Jeepers arise from their lairs, a lone Jeeper sits indian style by a dark brown object.



twaldron: "Joshie, didn't you get any sleep?"



Joshie: "No. See? Look! It's got ice crystals on it. It's ice cream."



Jeepers: "No, Josh. The desert just gets really cold at night, it's dog sh_" (INTERRUPTED)



A JEEPER RUNS UP.



Kevin Sperle: "Hey! Some of the guys found Harry B. in a cave!"



THE JEEPERS CONVENE AROUND THE CAVE'S OPENING



DougW: "Wow! The great Harry Brosofsky!"



travis: "Who's Harry Brosofsky?"



Jbjeep: "He's mummified? Yuck!"



Lon Stowell: "Like a creamsicle!"



Joshie: "Oooh, you're making me hungry again."



Jerry Bransford: "Now that's s*it!"



Joshie: "See, and it doesn't even look like that ice cream! Told ya!" (sighs) "The inventor of square wheels..."



Group: "WHAT??"



Joshie: "Yes, all CJs had square wheels."



Group: "What kind of...? (interrupted)



TJim: "Still sitting in his 97 TJ."



L.W. "Bill" Hughes: "If he'd of had a REAL JEEP, this wouldn't have happened!"

"Not only that, in kalifornia, we never had enough fossil energy to sell kumquats. Damn Texans. Jerry Bransford: "I knew those heim joints would never last!"


JUST OUTSIDE THE CAVE, A WHIMPER IS HEARD. THE GROUP STARES AS A MANGY DINGO TROTS UP TO THE CRUSTY PILE. THE DOG SNIFFS AND CIRCLES AROUND THE LUMP. STOPPING, HE ARCHES HIS HAUNCHES AND RELEASES A LARGE STEAMING BROWN TORPEDO. AS IT COILS ON THE GROUND THE GROUP MURMURS.



twaldron: "Well, Einstein, there's your proof."



Joshie: "What? An ice cream vendor??"



Jeff Strickland: "Oh, c'mon! What else do you need??"



Earle Horton: "Let me take a look at this. We had a similar problem at Microsoft. Did you guys know I worked there? Billy G. and I solved it. Lesse....yep, same problem. Only we called it Windows 98. Hey! have you guys seen my 1099 yet???"



Joshie: "Where's Nathan, show him!"



tyler dirden: "He went to go play with Mike and his "Dingy".



Group: "EW!!!"



Kevin in San Diego: "NO!! He's over the hill, stacking rocks."



JimG: "STACKING ROCKS??!! He drives a RUBICON! Tell him he doesn't need to stack ROCKS under his wheels!!"



Mike Romain: "He's not, he's stacking them in his seat so he can see over the steering wheel..."



Group: "oh..."



(...to be continued...)



Heh, you have a talent for this kind of stuff... and a long damned memory. ;)

BUWHAHAHA! now thats original!

Ow! Ow! Stop!! My side hurts!!! ROF holding side...

Hey, Wait a minute... 'TJim: "Still sitting in his 97 TJ."'?

What kind of a line is that?!? Jeez!! Don't I even get a decent line??

Really! Harry B.! Holy cow! There's a name we haven't uttered in a while...

Oh.

OK.

Thanks.

I like it!

STILL sitting in his 97 TJ. Still SITTING in his 97 TJ! Still sitting in HIS 97 TJ? Still sitting in his 97 TJ...

I'm going to be a STAR!!!! Wheeeee!!!!

Actually you're wrong. "it's" is a contraction. "its" is a possessive, just like "his" and "hers".

bob z. wants to be a star, too.

Just a technicality here, but it's is a contraction of it is, its is possessive.

On the other hand, you have created the situation, and if you WANT to say it's possessive, what choice do we have?

Do you know what a crescent sun is? With a crescent sun, the only thing dousing Moab is shadows:

I think he means the sun is rising from over Crescent Junction. Which is still wrong, but more poetic if a gas station out in the middle of nowhere can be deemed poetic.

Hey, we're *all* stars! We've been published! When do the checks start rolling in? :-D

I thought that was "Conjunction Junction" (what's your function?). :-)

Where's attnews in all this? "If he had been driving an AMC-built jeep, Harry would have a more fitting memorial than the Krysler Krap he is entombed in now..."
