Zechs Watches a Video


"How about this one, sir." the store clerk asked, holding up a copy of the cover for "Top Gun."

Zechs screamed in frustration. "Why does everybody *assume* I want to watch pilot movies all the time?!" He rounded on the clerk, who dropped the cover in surprise. "Do *you* go home and watch movies about store clerks all the time? Do golfers watch Caddyshack every single day? I want something different once in a while!"

"Yes... yes, sir." the clerk stammered. He looked around for a bit, then smiled. "Ah! I've got just the thing. A little change of pace for you I think."

"Just what I'm looking for." Zechs followed the man to the Cult Movies section. 

"Here," the man handed him the cover to one of the movies. "It's not great," he admitted as Zechs looked it over, "but at least it's something different."

"I'll take it." Zechs decided, following the man to the counter where he paid for the rental and bought a tub of popcorn.


That evening, Zechs munched on popcorn as the words

TAKE THE TUBA TO FATHER SUN

appeared in large colorful letters upon the computer screen in Mr. Mustard's van.
