Vanitas The year is 1951-1967. The world looks a lot like it did in Back to the Future and the parts of Back to the Future II that took place in 1955. The sun was more yellow, the air was easier to see through, and all gas station attendants had to wear uniforms that made them look a little bit like indentured servants. It was a simpler time, as the field of mathematics was still largely a mystery and Dan Brown had not yet written that book that proved Jesus never existed. And it was also a more innocent time. Remember, this was before Watergate, the terrible heat wave that happened the day after the Challenger exploded, the Great Depression of the late 1980s, and that time when OJ Simpson set a new rushing record of 2000 yards and then decapitated a person and a waiter. This was a time when segregation meant separating people of different colors, instead of the term used to describe how that one part of the earth just broke off and floated away after Y2K. This was a time when our grandparents were rocking around the clock, their future dementia foreshadowed by a single corrupted brain cell. But today, everything is all “computer online” this and “cyber computer” that. Cell phones are slowly making all men impotent, while e-Men – male sex-robots designed by women, for women – are set to climb the bestseller lists when they are released next October. Instead, let’s ignore the upcoming China Apocolypse and reflect on a time when people thought the apocolypse was going to happen “tomorrow” for twenty years in a row. The title is “Knife Fight at the Malt Shop #” because a) knife fights remind me of the time I got stabbed in a 1950s-style diner and b) I don’t know what a ‘malt’ is and I thought this title would inspire me to check the Internet and find out.

Marlon Brando
by WCS
I met Brando in his suite at the Beverly Hills Hotel, where he has lived since his house was damaged in a widely discussed fire. “I was making popcorn but then I fell asleep,” explains Brando. Like much about the reclusive star, the popcorn fire is shrouded in mystery. All Brando will say is that he doesn’t make popcorn at night anymore. That job falls to one of the twenty plus members of his entourage, one of whom is named James. His on-set demands have attained Hollywood infamy; he only responds to his character’s name, or, if being addressed by a social inferior, sir; his assistant gets her own golf-cart, and it must always be referred to as “the scooter.” Brando’s co-stars say that, with the exception of this one thing having to do with pudding, his quirks are outweighed by his talent. Indeed, Brando is an artist like no other, raging against the conventional limits acting like a beautifully drunken Prometheus. Yet Brando says he doesn’t even consider himself to be an actor. “I am a person,” he says. “If I don’t breathe then I will die.”

May 16, 1953 Harrison’s Soda Fountain
Health Code Violation Repor t
Inspection of the premises and its malt shakers revealed Level 4 dandruff contamination, far surpassing the legal limit of no dandruff. Further investigation uncovered a pinky in a root beer float that Mr. Harrison served to the championship little league team. All present suspect that the source of the dandruff is Mr. Harrison himself, who has never had more or less than ten fingers. “I was sure I saw flakes fall into my milkshake, but it was vanilla,” recounts one inspector, who believes that “some of the dandruff is arm dandruff.” We made Mr. Harrison swallow a radioactive pill. Ten days later traces of uranium were discovered in the digestive tracts of several Harrison’s customers aged 7-12. A few days after that, traces of a woman’s fingers were discovered in the digestive tracts of several Harrison’s customers aged 13 and up. The soda fountain is Mr. Harrison’s livelihood. He has no wife or children, no bed but the mattress behind his counter, no clothes but the piles of dirty laundry in the corners. The board of inspectors recommends immediate closure of the premises.

Wilt Chamberlain Wilt Chamberlain claimed to have slept with over 20,000 women. He first made this claim after his famous 100 point game on March 2nd, 1962. -Wow! Wilt, what a great game! 100 points? -I was just really feeling it and have had sex with 20,000 women. -No one has ever scored 100 points in a game before. -Yes, but that is far fewer than the number of women I have slept with. -How did you score all those points out there? That defense is no joke. -You’d literally have to start having sex now, and then have sex with a different girl every hour for the next 834 days to have sex with 20,000 women, something that I have done. -You all have the Celtics tomorrow. How do you feel about that? -834 days straight. -How do you feel about the season Bill Russell is having?

Boone Meyer -Ken, what would you tell our viewers at home about Chicago Bears quarterback, Boone Meyer? -Well, he’s finishing what is likely his last season as quarterback of the Bears. He leads the league in interceptions with…no, this can’t be right...50 interceptions? -50 indeed, Ken. A new record. But with his natural ability, I don’t think he’ll have much trouble finding a new team. -He’s played so poorly that several teams have begun calling errors ‘Boones’. Including the Bears. -That’s unmerited, if you ask me. Just look at Boone’s hands. They’re gigantic. He is known across the league for his gigantic hands. -I can’t say I know what you’re talking about. What I do know is that Boone is not just embarrassing himself out there, but the entire city of Chicago as well. Following one terrible game last season, Boone’s high school unretired his number. -Ken, look out onto that field. Even Boone’s own teammates appear to be in awe of their quarterback. He’s the complete package. And it’s all built around those hands. -Are you listening to yourself right now? Boone is easily the league’s worst player. His big hands have nothing to do with his play. -They’re not just big, Ken. They’re thick, and sturdy too. Anybody can have big hands. -It’s time for a commercial. -This team doesn’t deserve Boone. He looks like he should be hauling timber. My God, look at those hands. -Boone’s just thrown his sixth interception of the day.

Yogi Berra Throughout his career, Hall of Famer Yogi Berra coined a number of famous sayings. Here are some of his least famous: “They don’t call it baseball because it’s easy. They call it baseball because you play it with a ball and you can’t use your feet.” “It’s like déjà vu all over the place.” “For every pitcher with a mean slider or a vicious curve, there are three others who have never played baseball before.” “Nobody goes there anymore. The new owners are Korean.” “If you come to a fork in the road, kill yourself.”

Walt Disney When most people think of cartoons, they think of Walt Disney. What they don’t realize is that Walt Disney was not a cartoon, but simply a man who drew himself some friends. “My drawings are my companions,” Disney once said, “but that doesn’t mean the relationship can’t become something more.” Disney was famously arrested for groping a legal pad.

The Most Dangerous Prom in the History of Oakwood High School At the start of Oakwood High’s prom, the principal made an announcement. “Now, I don’t want anyone spiking the punch,” he joked. It was a funny joke because Oakwood High School exists in an alternate reality where alcohol is extinct. Unfortunately, what no one knew was that the punch had already been accidentally laced with a chemical that kills people’s brains. It all started when Matt Gilmore - an all-round good guy - had been put in charge of making the punch. “I can’t make the punch green!” Matt had told his friends earlier in the day. Everyone knew that a green punch would really get the kids pumped up. “Instead, the punch is yellow. On account of the apple juice.” Apple juice, and juice in general, was very popular with the students, so up until this point the punch was on track to be one of the best punches in Oakwood High School history. Luckily – or so he thought – Matt had come up with a solution. “I realized that I had to mix in some blue things with the yellow AJ.” Matt grinned as he explained the
solution to the prom committee; his buds were hanging on his every word. “I mostly used the juice from melted blue popsicles.” But it wasn’t mostly the juice from melted blue popsicles. Instead, Matt had accidentally confused a bowl of gamma-Butyrolactone for a bowl full of melted blue popsicles. He then added some sodium hydroxide. The resulting chemical reaction had produced a white paste on the sides of the bowl that Matt had harvested – thinking it was a pure form of blueness – and mixed in with the apple juice. The white paste was actually pure GHB, a powerful neurotoxin. When Matt brought in the green punch, the kids, as expected, went absolutely nuts. Not only was green their favorite color, but the punch tasted just like apple juice. One of the most dangerous things about GHB is that it has no taste, making it a popular choice for date-rapists. In the end, a lot of people got holes in their brains and the after party at Lance’s beach house had to be postponed until the first week of summer.

OurChristmasMiracle Shopping for Grandma was always difficult. We had waited until the last minute to get her a gift, and we couldn’t find anything. Just then, however, we had a little Christmas miracle. Grandma was found dead on the morning of Christmas Eve, saving us at least dozens of dollars, and the humiliation of watching her struggle to open (she was very weak and old) a poorly thought out gift.

Dear Mrs. York’s Class... I am sorry about the things I said in my notebook. It was wrong what I wrote. It is not true that Sienna’s braid is messy. It is not true that I saw at the pool that Chris had webbed feet and I thought they looked ugly. It is not true that Lizzy’s parents are divorced. It is not true what I said in my notebook about how I am a spy, because I don’t work for anyone. My parents don’t allow me to sneak inside houses or look into windows. I want to say to Sandra that if a notebook says private maybe you shouldn’t open it and read it out loud. What if you start to read it and it says something about you, like that you are more in the boy group than the girl group, and once you read it now the whole class knows, and you are embarrassed. The moms thought the worst part of my notebook was the dream I wrote about where Dave and I kissed and there was a string of spit hanging between our mouths. All the girls in the class said that was really gross. I am sorry to everyone about the gross dream. But I am just wondering, do you think it’s gross Dave? If Dave is absent today someone please ask him. Thank you to Mrs. York for reading this letter to the class. I hope I am still your favorite of the students who aren’t in the Gifted and Talented section. I’ll see you guys when I’m back from suspension.

Danny Zucko and The T-Birds written by WCS The T-Birds had gathered at the coolest booth in the Frosty Palace for an emergency meeting. “Kenickie, you listening?” Danny Zucko asked his right hand man. Kenickie looked up from his fries. “Sorry Danny,” he said, signaling for one of the girls to get him some ketchup. “I’m feeling all bent outta shape since Rizzo went and got herself pregnant again.” “Yo Kenicke, our car’s all wrecked,” he reminded his friend. “Ain’t gonna be no backseat to get
girls pregnant unless we find a way to fix it.” “Sorry to interrupt,” said Danny’s girlfriend Sandy. “But do any of you boys want something to drink?” Sandy was the prettiest girl at the school. “I’ll pay,” she added. Sandy had never gotten pregnant before. “Hey Sandy, lay off won’t you?” Danny said. Sandy was pretty smart for a girl, and could see it was time for her to go buy some cigarettes.
“What were those Scorpions doing on our turf anyway?” asked Sonny La Tierri. Sonny had once eaten an entire jar of pickles on a dare, and though he still brought it up sometimes, none of the other T-Birds remembered anyone daring Sonny to eat anything. “Are we gonna have to rumble?” he asked. The other T-Birds said nothing. Sonny knew damn well there wasn’t gonna be any rumble. Danny began to talk and the others could swear he wasn’t even
moving his lips. “We was dragracing in the faculty parking lot, when Principle McGee comes screaming for us to stop.” “That hag won’t let us do nothing,” Sonny interrupted. “She got hit real good,” continued Danny. “Wrecked the fender on Greased Lightning.” Kenicke moved to spit, but changed his mind and reached for a fry instead. “Now the old bird’s in the hospital, relaxing like fat city,” said Danny. “Meanwhile, we’re stuck here with no cash to fix the ride.” “It’s like Commie Russia?” said Sonny. He had this way of saying everything as if it were a question. T-Birds always stick together, but sometimes it was almost too much for the gang to stand. “They’re saying that if McGee kicks the bucket, we can say sayonara to the dance contest,” said Kenicke. “What about the end-of-year carnival?” asked Sonny. “I bet those suits are gonna take that from us too.” Danny tried to regain his train of thought. “These adults think they can treat us like dirt just because,” he said, trying not to notice how Sonny was doing that nodding thing again. “Well it just ain’t fair, and it ain’t cool,” said Danny. “Is Principle McGee gonna be alright?” asked Sandy. She had returned from the cigarette machines. “Can it Sandy,” snapped Danny.
Sandy put down the three different packs of cigarettes, not sure which one Danny would be in the mood for today. “I just thought maybe-” “What’d I tell you about thinking?” Danny interrupted. He threw a cigarette pack at one of the older looking waitresses. The T-Birds combed their hair and thought.
comb in shame. “Sorry Danny. You know I can’t think so good with chicks around.” Danny nodded. “Beat it Sandy,” he said, gesturing with his comb hand. “Yeah Sandy, take a hike,” added Sonny. Danny threw his comb on the table. “Yo Sonny, watch it. That’s my girl you’re talking to.” Sonny fell silent. He looked to the others for support, but from the way they were combing their hair, he could tell he was on his own. “Danny, I’m just saying, ain’t no broads ever been allowed at a T-Birds meeting.” “You’re just saying, huh?” growled Danny. “How bout you say it to my face?” His voice was barely a whisper. “Say it to my face.

The Too Cool Club
by BWKS
Hey Gang! Here’s the rundown: my house, 7:30pm, the first meeting of the Too Cool Club. My mom will cook up some mozzarella sticks and we can talk all things cool. Sixth grade power! Long live the TOO KOOL KLUB!!!! - Mikey Hey Guys! I’m really sorry but I’m going to be late because I’m in Paris now, just finishing up some business. I should be stateside tonight around 9:30 though and I can make it to Mikey’s house by 10. Again, I’m terribly sorry about all of this. Hope to see you tonight, - Howie I forgot to mention in school that I had an orthodontist appointment this afternoon. Don’t worry, he’s a cool orthodontist—I’ve got pictures of the fish tank in the waiting room to prove it! Also, with the permission of the receptionist, I stole a Time for Kids from the rack for us to check out! Anyways, if Howie can’t make 7:30, should we do 8? TOO QOOL QLUB FOREVER! - Jimmy Hey, I’m really sorry you guys, but as I mentioned in my last email, I won’t be back in the US until 9:30 and the earliest I could get to Mikey’s would be 10. I know this isn’t ideal and I should have said something sooner—I never expected the French to take their initial offer off the table. I feel terrible about making you guys wait. Excer pts from tonight’s classic fea ture film, - Howie President Zombie
.
Well, mom says the latest people can be over is 9:30, so why not everyone come over at 9? Also, I got some nice plastic cups for the food-colored seltzer, so even if we drop them, they won’t break! Woah! - Mikey 9 it is, then. Howie? - Jimmy Sorry! I don’t know how many other ways I can say this, but you guys know I’d be there if I could. It’s just that it’s literally a physical impossibility at this point. I scheduled the negotiations for this weekend because I was already going to be in France for a prior engagement and I wanted to be efficient. If I could do it all over again, I would. A hundred times out of a hundred, I swear. - Howie Jimmy, get over here before the mozzarella sticks get cold! - Mikey

Apathetic Jim The classic children’s book Curious George tells the adventures of a monkey who likes to do people stuff. Less well known are the equally comic mishaps of Curious George’s younger brother, Apathetic Jim. Apathetic Jim Visits the Zoo: The Man with the Yellow Hat takes Jim to the Town Zoo. His cousin monkeys all have welts from where the Zookeeper beats them at night. Jim gets a tummy ache from eating too many peanuts. Apathetic Jim Gets a Bike: It’s Jim’s thirteenth birthday and the Man with the Yellow Hat buys him a shiny new bike with a big white basket. “We’re all just molecules,” Jim reflects. Apathetic Jim Makes a Friend: It’s a hot summer day so Jim goes to Sandy Beach. He sees a little boy crying as a trapped turtle slowly dies beneath the noonday sun. Apathetic Jim Visits the Nursing Home: Jim’s class takes a trip to Dewey Leaf Senior Center. Jim is asked to perform four assisted suicides and wins the Big Bingo Tournament. Apathetic Jim Flies a Kite: It’s a beautiful day for kite flying. The Man with the Yellow Hat takes Jim to Happy Park. The kites dance playfully overhead, just like dust in the wind. Apathetic Jim at the Fair: The Man with the Yellow Hat takes Jim to ride the Tilt-a-Whirl. Jim has the time of his life but derives no lasting happiness. As he steps off the ride he trips and falls, but luckily he isn’t hurt.

Bureaucrats The closed door upstairs at 2 Space Center Place in Houston, Texas is marked MISSION CONTROL. In the windowless room beyond, a reverential hush prevails. 2 Space Center is the beating heart of that most American Prometheus, the NASA. Behind mission control’s cream-colored door, which is closed, the NASA is referred to simply as “the Organization,” as in “it’s a good Organization to work for,” or “this Organization is a good place to work.” It is an Organization built upon binaries, from the binary code used to operate its computing machines, to the separate bathroom Texas law requires for the NASA’s sole black employee, systems engineer Henry Dyson. There, undisturbed by white urinators, Mr. Dyson can walk around unclothed, free to admire the private blackness of his flesh. There are no stall doors in Mr. Dyson’s bathroom. It is his own space; quiet, roomy and surprisingly cold, like the heavens above that Mr. Dyson has dedicated himself to conquering with the help of his white colleagues. 2 Space Center is a metaphor, but also a place.

ARGENTINA I.L.E.E. SPANISH SCHOOLS UPSCALE, YET COST-EFFECTIVE PROGRAMMES YEAR-ROUND
Fame in the 1950s In the 50s and 60s, it was really easy to become famous. People were impressed by such simple things! One thing that was huge was sitting in the front of things. Rosa Parks sat in the front of a bus and she became a big star. Once, John F. Kennedy sat in the front of a car and he got so famous at once that it all went to his head and it exploded.

ModernEducation Think of how strange modern schooling must be to older teachers. Alright everyone, time for you to take notes. Everyone put your machine on the table. I’m sure you all expect me to use some kind of power-point presentation, relying on pictures or numbers to make my point. Instead I will illustrate my thoughts using this humble chalkboard. Chalk comes from mines, deep in the ground, where you’ll each be working if you don’t master your lessons. Mines are the basis for the modern economy, mind you. I see that many of you are checking your pocket phones as I speak. Please do not do this, as I fear it fills the room with distracting x-rays and gamma beams. This is fine in a chemistry lab or physics gymnasium. However our focus here is poetry. Lastly, many of you in this classroom are women. While surprised, I am also encouraged. It is brave of each of you to take time away from child rearing to learn, never fearing the precarious state of your children left unattended.

TelevisionforOldPeople Although networks whose viewership skews old are often criticized for being out of touch, old people are actually a valuable demographic to advertisers. Here are some shows currently in development that will target senior citizens. -“Survivor: Senior Edition,” a reality series based on “Survivor” that tests old people’s limits by thrusting them into the wilderness of various countries, where they form alliances and grapple with formidable challenges. One by one, they die of natural causes. -“Death Bed,” a reality series in which fifteen terminally ill seniors make their case for entrance to a hospice that only has room for one of them. The season finale reveals a breathtaking twist: there is no hospice. -“The Price Is Right Redux,” sixty minutes of silent blackness specifically intended as a time for seniors to relive their favorite “Price Is Right” memories. -“Jimmy Has Eight Grandmas,” a groundbreaking documentary about the future of gay adoption. -“Wheel of Fortune,” a game show hosted by Pat Sajak.

Design and Technology In his nearly thirty years as the school’s design and technology teacher, Mr. Wendell witnessed sixty horrible, machinerelated injuries. “I’ve seen teenagers get scalped like Indians, and teenagers lose fingers like Indians,” Mr. Wendell would say at the start of every semester. That’s when he would hand out the small elastic bands that keep the student’s hair away from the drilling machine: a machine that also eats hair. “Watch out, Susan,” Mr. Wendell would remark. Mr. Wendell had learned that girls named Susan had a tendency to stand too close to the machine with teeth. One time, Mr. Wendell saw a student accidentally cut out his own tongue. The most popular machine in his design and technology classroom was the sander. “Under no circumstances should anyone ever use the sander,” Mr. Wendel would say, even then knowing that the sander would physically deform one of the ninth graders seated before him. Every design and technology classroom has at least one machine that can saw clean through the human ribcage. This is something that the school board demands of all the teachers, even Mr. Wendell: a broken man. Mr. Wendell died last night, a victim of his own madness and the motorcycle crash he caused. This concludes your morning announcements.

He dislikes people who don’t have a good time but he would never maul them. But he does growl at them, and he doesn’t stop growling until they pick up a Grizz Cigarrette. Grizz will kill anything that threatens his young including human children. But he will befriend those children if they smoke Grizz Cigarettes” (pauses nervously) “Between you and me, not everything I’ve said about Grizz is actually true.

Old People by AMG In the 21st century, kindness to old people is considered normal. In fact, it’s expected. However this was not always the case. In the 1950s, for instance, hatred for old people was both accepted and encouraged. This is literature excerpted from a 1953 American anti-old people propaganda pamphlet. Whose side are you on? We know whose side the old people are on. They’re on the old people’s side. But what about you, soldier? What are you doing walking old Mrs. Featherstone across the road? Just because you look like one of us doesn’t mean you’re with us. But look at the old people and you know whom they’re fighting for. They are fighting for the old people. Defend our borders! Had enough of old people being in the America you love with all your heart? Well how about more old people in America? That’s right, on top of the American old people problem, old people from places outside of the United States are trying to get in! They will do anything to get here! Scientists currently estimate that a wall four feet high will be too high for 80% of old people to climb over.
They can be tamed. But only in old people parks. Although the old people parks house old people, these are nice places. Clean grounds and sparkling facilities are maintained by ground crews and wardens who are trained in old people theory and containment methods. These parks will be safe and a nice place to bring your kids for a nominal fee.

Way Back When I guess I don’t know when it all changed. There was a time when a man would come home to his beautiful wife and clean-shaven kids, pick up a fresh newspaper, and beat the shit out of his golden retriever. Nowadays, everyone reads the news online and domesticated animals are remembered only as a laughable antiquity. When I was a young man, cars ran on gasoline and they could fit as many as four people. We could travel hundreds of miles in a single day, often to a destination we had picked out beforehand. Back then, we did drugs solely for recreation. I wouldn’t say that things are worse now than they were before, but then again humans used to have jobs. Our employers paid us with paper money, which we then used to buy personal belongings, like food. Food is what we used to eat. Not to sound ungrateful, but I remember the days when houses had doors. When criminal behavior was against the law. When children used to play in the streets and adults were allowed to have children. If I could wish for one thing, it would be to see the sunlight again.

JamesBond,Author An excerpt from James Bond’s novel, Danger Me Twice by “Brian Black” Sitting in British Airways First Class, handsomely gulping down dry martinis—one shaken, one stirred, and both ninety-percent gin—I couldn’t help but laugh. My twelfth transatlantic flight in two months. The third with blood gushing out of an infected bullet wound. It all seemed so passé to me—I have killed thousands of people. I dispose of lives the way you dispose of little napkin-coasters on planes such as this one, planes where I have already slain four passengers. Seems like victory doesn’t taste so sweet after all. It tastes like two dry martinis and metal. Next to me lay a beautiful specimen of woman in upright position. She gave me a shotgun smile, not unlike the shotgun I had used to dispatch those four passengers, one of whom was sleeping. That grin, so familiar. Excuse me, have we made love before? “Excuse me, have we met before?” “…Black?” I nodded. “Black. Brian Black.” “Brian Black? That’s strange.”
“Why?” “You’re just the man I wanted to have airplane bathroom sex with.” Intoxicating. I opened up my heart to her after I opened up my penis. “You should know that I’ve hurt many people because of my job in demolition. I’ve destroyed homes, families.” She understood all too well—a rogue spy, she was sent to kill me but then won over by the purely physical act of love. As she started to leave she gave me a wink. Her eye sparkled, the glimmer of a laser bomb activating. I shot her cold, to save the lives of everyone on the plane I hadn’t already killed. All the other passengers were spies too—Second Echelon, I figured. Intriguing. I would have to take away each and every one of their lives. Then my mobile telephone-watch rang. “004—this is G. This is the last straw.” “Can you repeat that, G? The speaker on my radio-chronometer is a little tinny.” That word meant something special between G and me. “Come back, Black. That’s an order.” “I’m afraid I’m a bit indisposed at the moment,” I said slyly as I swerved the plane around the world’s tallest building, the Empire State Building. “Black. Black, answer me.” “Black is not here right now.” It wasn’t my voice. It was dark, Negroid. A voice that was missing an eye and had a cheek scar. It was a voice coming from inside of me. Incognito was here. I was going doppel. “This ends now, Incognito.” The plane barreled toward the sea as I uncapped the cyanide.
