Missing Person

Folks, I am sorry to report that my colleague and friend Michael has turned up missing. Not seeing him for a few days is normal, but this time he is MIA. This is not the first time that he has disappeared. Once while over the border in Mexico, we visited the infamous “Boystown” were sin is in. After a full day of Donkey shows, liquor and a girl that did incredible things with an egg, our Michael slipped of with a local, well, OK a female companion. Days went by and finally I decided to go back across the border in search of our friend. After hours of searching and asking the locals if they have seen this Gringo, I happened upon a shanty town of rudely constructed building. The aroma was eye opening and babies were playing naked in the mud puddles on the dirt road. My Spanish isn’t the best, but I could tell that the locals (which were mostly females) were trying to get my attention. As I approached, I recognized some of these girls. I had seen them that night at Boystown. There was an older lady who seemed to be in charge. She grabbed my arm and pointed to a brick building where the door stood open. I went to the door and was stung by the smell coming out of the place. Inside I see my friend Michael, laying on a pathetic cot in nothing but his BVD’s and white socks holding a half filled bottle of tequila.
Since then and the numerous stories and rumors he has not pulled something like this. If you should happen to run into him, please email me at isitmike@excite.com. In the meantime, I will continue to post. If he doesn’t show up I will have to take applications for his replacement.
