    Even when the noise from the brawl rang out, he didn't move. He just puffed on his cigarette and glanced at the ceiling. He was waiting to see who would come out alive.

    Then he'd know what to do. He was such a cool, smooth creature.

  • He always inspired multiple sentences in a one-sentence zone: like that time in the Bangkok opium den when he went in for a quick boogie and ended up sharing nuclear formulas with Multiple Mary.

    (Well, she couldn't help all the extra words....sometimes when she was excited, they just tumbled out almost faster than she could say them!)

    who was a hermaphrodite with eight fingers on each hand, but who had a kind heart, and a near perfect understanding of five asian pidgins....
    ....they're asking me to prove why I should be allowed to stay with my baby in Australia, because I'm mentally ill......and they think I should leave......

    even so, he was just not interested, for you know he WAS a spy.

    Maximillion and Mary Ann emerged from the basement victorious, but clearly shaken so the spy finally moved towards them...

    tempers flared as the lights went out

    tapered flares as they sashayed towards the dance floor indicated that the disco hard-core customers were unimpressed by the disruption, and intended to dance all night to the commodores' covers which were the only things the drunken rock band could play, so an aide de disco tapered the flares of the candles which flickered mysteriously in shadowy niches - and then WHAM!!!!; a shout and general ruccus could be heard outside on the street.....

    as the spy was moving towards that diabolical couple, a limousine appeared from around the corner, which made the crowd scatter, and which made an unreadable expression cross the spy's impenetrable face.....

    damn, thought the spy, they might notice that i'm not a real musician, thank god for the distraction!

    but due to the brainwashing he had received by Pakistan's secret police, he totally forgot about his matriculation in the premier classical music school in Calcutta where he had learnt ancient rhythms and renditions, and where if he had ever returned there, he would have been mobbed; it was like a void in his memory - hence the famous phrase, engendered by his life, 'the black hole of Calcutta'.......

  • Or was it the slack pole of cold butter?
  • Jocelyn and Mary Ann knew each other from somewhere, I could see the spy surmise, rubbing his chin: he craned in near to hear the ends of Jocelyn's words as if to detect a faint Czech accent.

    Realizing that this made him appear interested, he quickly picked up a Wall Street Journal and pretended to read.

  • It was when he saw the word "Prague" from a page on international espionage reflected in an ashtray that things started to make sense: eugarp!!!
  • grooveamaticgrooveamatic Posts: 1,374
    Eugarp Shimmlefitty--his long-standing nemisis from his Bolivian task force days.

    The question was, was he still in league with the Bolivians?
    If going right is wrong, I don't wanna go right!
  • He certainly still had that curious walk, with the hip shift that earned him the nickname Shimmyshimmy back in those sailors' bars he was said to frequent: if only he could get to shake his hand for a secret twitch of his signet ring in morse code against the palm, then he'd know for sure.

    What excuse could he possibly find to shake the Shimmlefitty's hand?

  • He tried to remember the moves to an old thighslapping dance they did in the officers' mess, involving wet eels.
  • grooveamaticgrooveamatic Posts: 1,374
    Grabbing a menu, he skimmed the seafood selection, only to be disappointed when he saw they only offered dry eel.

  • He knew there was nothing else for it but to ask to inspect the guy's ring, which, given the rumours, shouldn't be too problematic.
  • grooveamaticgrooveamatic Posts: 1,374
    Sliding off his stool, he approached his old nemesis with what could only be described as the swagger of caution.

    ...and then he broke into a dance he learned as a teenager back in louisville; to be inconspicuous.

    and, sidled over to the guy to get a look at his ring, as his legs flailed out in contortions he hadn't exercised since he was 15, and which made think of his mother, the notorious Madame X.....of Savannah

    But nevermind that.

  • I plucked up the courage, slinked over to Shimmy and whispered "My budgerigar just ate a whole tomato."
  • The spy looked shocked at my intervention.

    He dropped the book he was reading, How to Butcher an American Sentence by J.F. Limpah, into the breadbasket on the table.

    At this point, he'd had enough of inaction and decided to do something important.
