BOB JOHNSON RIDES AGAIN! 329
329. RATIONALITY V. PROGRESS
329. RATIONALITY V. PROGRESS
In a universe of fiction such as Bob Johnson’s, there are events that transcend concepts like space, time, logic and convenience–where even a completely irrational place such as Los Angeles can intersect quite smoothly with perfectly rational (and thus incredibly boring) landscapes such as those of San Luis Obispo, Laguna Lake, and Bob Johnson’s fleeing-from-accidental-fate-automobile. And never have the dysfunctions between space-time-rationality ever been more pronounced than in the current relationship between Bob and his often-estranged sister, the Hollywood action-mogul, Darlene “the Rock” Verhoeven-Johnson.
“What really gets my goat,” Darlene complained over the breakfast table to her husband, the internationally-renowned film director, Paul Verhoeven, “and I don’t mean the One-Eyed Jack kind, is how unfair Bob’s been to our love. Here we are, the most passionately devoted couple in Hollywood (this week), and do we even get a mention in this recent parade of love love love that all Bob’s characters keep spouting into one another’s faces? No, not even a footnote! Now, I know just because Bob’s the subject of his novel doesn’t make him all-powerful in its construction–in fact, he’s probably the least powerful individual in every paragraph. But still, aren’t we a lot more interesting than Elon Musk and Pam Bondi? Aren’t we better looking than Bucky and Brandi Alexander? Don’t we own much better quality bulletproof vests than Dr. Mabuse’s henchmen (Rocko, Fantomas and Cy Sperling) and their latest tripartite squeeze, the Sisters of Brutal Mercy (Immaculata, Boniface and Claud Raines)? Don’t answer those rhetorical questions, international film director of my heart! Hush, hush! Poise and restrain those sweet lips for receipt of my kissing… as soon as I finish this cinnamon roll!”
Of course, Paul Verhoeven has already left for the office, where he has to prepare for several five minute meetings at Gold’s Gym to discuss his latest internationally-renowned film projects–Starship Troopers Take a Bath, Starship Troopers Eat a Bagel, Starship Troopers on the Moon and hey… his filmic genius already has another idea! What about Starship Troopers Eat a Cinnamon Roll! That’s the ticket!

Well you get the idea on the multitudes of names to keep track in the Rides Again, series#2… my frontal cortex is burdened 🤔maybe the finale (that’s a wrap) is timely?
