The Mugging: Part Three (the search for part 2)

[impu...@yahoo.com]

A while ago, I posted a not so funny or great story to this newsgroup about
how I was the would-be victim of a sloppy and stupid-ass mugging attempt.
Basically, two girls went up to me, and asked if they could see my wallet.
Joe (who bought a Friday The 13th flick at *full price*), thought it was a
good story.

And now, the continuation...

It was yesterday. Dreary, cold, damp, and damp (I'm aware I'm repeating
myself). It was just after school. Rather than going home and doing
something normal, intelligent, and sensible (like schoolwork), I went to a
coffee shop a minute from my school and house (I live across the street from
my school. Most convenient.) And I sat at a table, drinking coffee (Café
mocha). I looked out the window, watching the parade of students walk
towards the bus stop or the train station.

And then two girls walked up to me.

"'Scuse me?"

I looked up. It was the two mugger b**ches. I frowned, took another large
swig of coffee, and my mouth went upwards into a stupid grin.

I had scalded my tongue.

"Do you have bus tickets?" natcho breath asked me (you have to read my
earlier post on this).

I was lost in thought. Did she recognize me? What about her friend?

"How about change?" her friend asked, taking my silence for a "No".

I stared at them for several seconds. There was not the slightest hint of
recognition on their part. Feeling sorry for this pair of idiotic jackasses,
and their latest miserably obvious scheme, I gave them a quarter.

Sometimes I'm far too tolerant. Other times, I'm too consumed with important
matters like waiting for good coffee to cool down.

Amused. And yes, I realize it doesn't take much!

Damn KR, you're a bigger magnet for trouble than John McClane in the
DIE HARD movies.

The SAME mugger bitches? And in your neighbourhood? Are you sure
they're not stalking you or something?

Keep your eyes open.

Apparently, we go to the same school. And I just happen to live across the
street from my school. Went back to the coffee shop today. Nothing to
report.

I have a funny story about that line. When I first downloaded and watched
the DJ trailer -- I couldn't figure out what that line was. So, for two
months, I was wondering, "What was that? What the hell does 'viet van doom'
mean? Maybe it's Latin." Since no one else brought it up, I decided not to
ask.

And then, the line appeared in the climax of DARK JUSTICE. I thought, "Oh,
so *that's* what he was saying!" My moment was cut short by my sister,
responding to the look on my face after seeing that scene, telling me,
"Don't be sad. People kill other people all the time!"

I threw a comic book at her. My copy of Green Lantern #129 was irrevocably
creased. I think it was worth it.

She said a few other things about DJ that are quite unrepeatable.
