SPHEROIDS PART VI
|
|
INTERLUDE:
|
|
|
|
The neutrino generated thought fought it's way through Tilly's cerebral
|
|
cortex, colliding onthe way with a requast from her bladder for a trip to the
|
|
lavatory, and a subconcious desire to 'have' the paper boy, and emerged
|
|
(almost) unscathed, in the her left lobe. "Of course!" she said to her self,
|
|
marveling at her own mental prowess, "TV time!". She went back into the lounge,
|
|
to view her favourite televisual entertainment. Her luck held, and mummy hadn't
|
|
pawned the TV (before her unfortunate demise) "Pawn...Porn...." mused Tilly,
|
|
the vaugest glimmerings of a pun shimmering at the edge of conciousness (She
|
|
really was in tip-top form today) , but the effort was to much, so she turned
|
|
on the TV ( The TV had been 'liberated' from a queen street store by Mummy, a
|
|
year or three back, during the so-called "Queen Street riot". She (mummy) had
|
|
taken exception to Dave Dobyns artistic interpretation of the old beatles
|
|
number 'Happiness is a warm Bum', and had responded by flinging a (
|
|
regrettabbly full) can of beer at him. She missed hit a policeman, who blamed
|
|
the "unruly minority" and attempted a mass arrest... And that's how it
|
|
happened, kids!)
|
|
The TV blared with a Plasti-pop theme, familiar to the entire nation. The
|
|
picture came into focus, forming the title "El Prez Prezzents....."
|
|
As Tilly scanned the floor for an place free of beer cans, where she could
|
|
sit, She pondered upon the strange career of this multy-media personality,
|
|
this, this mysterious fellow known only as 'El Prez' , or LP, as the popular
|
|
press dubbed him. He had first come to the for half a decade or less ago, when
|
|
he had been prosecuted for stamp forgery . He dazzled the Court with his wit,
|
|
saying that the Post office should be grateful because 'Imitation is the
|
|
sincerest form of philately', and was aquitted when the prosecutions chief
|
|
witness slipped on a banana skin before testifying, and lost the use of his
|
|
limbs ( and mouth, and body). He made his fortune , when the government sold
|
|
off radio and TV frequencies. He claimed ( succesfully , after another law
|
|
suit) that if the goverment could sell off the radio regiom of the
|
|
electromagnetic spectrum, then he could purchase part of the visual region.
|
|
With the damages awarded to him, he purcased the colour green, and made a
|
|
fortune on the royalties payable to him by any person who 'saw , used or in
|
|
and other way observed' this colour. By this stage he had become a cult hero,
|
|
and, cashing in on his popularity, release an album, 'The LP LP', which was
|
|
enormously popular. He toured the world with a backing band ( and an old black
|
|
person , who everyone thought was dead, for some (little needed ) street
|
|
cred)) and cleaned up. His follow up single "Twelve inches of El Prez" had the
|
|
good fortune to be prosecuted for obscenety ( successfully, LP made sure), and
|
|
his future was assured. He now hosted a weekly variety show, just so as to keep
|
|
in the publis eye, whilst he dreamt up his next scheme. 'Whose on this week?'
|
|
thought Tilly, hoping was it 'Sickee Wifebeater', her favourite muso singing
|
|
'Speak English or Die'. No such luck . He appeared to be singing a duet
|
|
with that fellow who was on 'Mr Twirly' when mummy died, whilst the remants
|
|
of Shriekback sang backing, in a last ditch bid for popularity, before they
|
|
succumbed to the forces of mammon (i.e Stock Atkien Waterman).
|
|
His favourite colour was yellow.
|
|
'Boring' thought Tilly. before she could reach for the off switch, there was a
|
|
bang, the like of which you hear when someone lights a match in a backed bean
|
|
testing factory.....
