Steve's Drawing Adventure

I sketched Optimus Prime on a sheet of butcher paper with a blue marker.

Shading in details, I noticed that yellow and red ink had appeared in the places I had previously drawn, then the drawing turned into a 3-dimensional Lego model.

Celebrity Neighbor

Nolan Bushnell lives next door to me. Last night he was hosting a party for ex-Midway employees when I went over to borrow a cup of flour. The guests all sat silently in their seats with their heads bowed.

Today I posed in his arboretum for a group of art students with an orange balloon. Tom Hess congratulated me afterwards.

Boot Camp

Stationed at a border patrol checkpoint camp, Private Riesenberger has had to defend their base from numerous insurgent skirmishes. In one recent battle his assault rifle malfunctioned forcing him to reload it as one would reload a toy shotgun as he took aim and fired on rebel forces who had commandeered a humvee, plowing it into crowds of civilians. Two shots from his rifle resulted in killing the driver with a blow to the back of the head.

Later that night, Corporal Coallier led the troop in a game of movie charades. Private Riesenberger knew that one soldier's guess of 'James Cagney imitating Bugs Bunny' was incorrect in favor of Edward G. Robinson's portrayal of Rico in Little Caesar.

In the morning, a routine check of his vehicle revealed that the emergency brake gear had been stripped.
