I was just eating my clammy kivers from Clemmy's bucket and Uncle Hervey showed up with some firecrackers and dirty pictures. He wasn't dead, but I thought he was at first. He said he had been living in cousin Danny's old shack up near firepit #4.



He wanted to hug me, but I just tossed him a warm Schaefer and took a couple steps back.  He wanted to sell me an E.T. doll but I reminded him that I wasn't into dolls anymore and besides, he picked that off the bulkhead steps. I could tell he tried to brush off the hairballs.



He was quickly drawn to the A-Team pinball machine, a beam of radiance in a murky pit. I didnt like the way he was eyeing it.



So I gave him a kiver and he threw up a little, and said he enjoyed the kiver anyway. But next he took out the dirtiest handkerchief I have ever seen and wiped the muck from his chin. I think he made it cleaner.



Now he's gone and I'm wondering where Uncle Clem is.



But at least Uncle Hervey left his firecrackers laying on the pinball machine. He'll be back for the cottonball pickles.
