The Island of Dr Kareau

Overall a Quiet Night... I was greeted by a typically meth'ed up Little Jimmy with a HL thrust into my face the second I came in the door. You can say what you want about Lil'Jimmy but he has a memory like a meth'ed out elephant.

It having been a while, we were slow to warm to the idea of "performing" so we chatted in the back a bit and surveyed the book and the "crowd" leisurely while Mr Magoo-san entertained us from the Olivia Newton-John songbook. It was him and KG, Jr for at least 30 minutes - Interesting but unsustainable.

We did a quick rotation to sort of get back in the mood.

Then He (It?) was spotted. You know how animals are different than people? They have a different vibe... A little removed - less "engaged" in what is going on amongst us humans. Such an individual was spotted and clearly must have been concocted by Jimmy in his laboratory/kitchenette that he uses to create human/animal hybrids and orders of French Fries.

This individual definitely was crossed with some higher rodent. Ferret? Squirrel? Marmot? Unclear... his "hair" was "peltish" and sleek, shiny and shetland pony-colored with a unnaturally low hairline. His eyes were beady and his nose was Moist and Inquisitive. He appeared to be able to carry a conversation with his friend so he is at least 50% human or 50% hillbilly or a little bit of both. The overall effect was both frightening and alluring. Who doesn't want to pet a Squirrel but at the same time, who isn't convinced they will bite you if you try?

Basically we are now certain that Jimmy is cooking up humanimals in the bar... hence the renaming of Karaoles Kountry Music Inn to The Island of Dr. Kareau...

"It is a hard way, the way of being a man. Sooner or later we all want a thing that is bad. To walk on all fours. To suck up High Life from a bottle. To jabber, instead of saying the words. To go snuffling at the Songbook, and to claw at and bark into a microphone. To eat flesh, or fish. To make love to more than one, every which way. These are all bad things. These are not the things that men do. But we are men, are we not? We are men because Jimmy has made us men! " The Island of Dr Kareau by KG Wells
