talk to the flying monkey

b1: i'm on deck for the "yellow brick road" slot tourney at the 4
queens.

K: Good luck. I didn't know you did slots.

b1: it's free. invitation only. prize money. mathematically it has
perfect theoretical expectation.

i've finally decided my future lies beyond the yellow brick road.

your chance to dunk the other special K

special K,

i don't know who's doing the globetrotters PR these days, but they're
completely out of control ... as you know, i never watch TV, and yet
i've seen them on the tube no less than a zillionty times in the last
month.

if i was in the bay area, we'd go to this (and i'd make you pay).

{mumbling end of "sweet georgia brown" goes here.}

suit ... they didn't know each other.
