Odd People, Part II
Today, I’m so excited to have a very honored guest in the JALBO Studio with me: Chunkadee, a very special friend of mine. Chunkadee, welcome to Just a Little Bit Odd.
Chunkadee: Thanks! Wonderful to be here. You know, I always knew you were destined to be odd.
Me: Oh, no doubt. Now Chunkadee, why don’t you tell my readers who you are.
C: Well, I’m the imaginary friend you had when you were two.
Me: That’s right. So, Chunk, what’ve you been doing for the past 21+ years?
C: Well, I’ve been hanging out in the recesses of your memory, of course. You know, there’s some really strange things floating around up there.
Me: Yes, well, we’re not really here to discuss any of that –
C: What you did in front of that vanload of kids at camp meeting back in ‘92? That’s still cracking me up!
Me: Chunk, I was twelve. I don’t think I can be held responsible for –
C: Was that before or after the policeman drove up?
Me: Chunkadee, we’re really here to talk about our friendship way back when. Do you remember those days?
C: Of course! You were a lot cuter back then.
Me. Thanks.
C: Anytime! Anyway, my fondest memories are of the meetings we had, especially the ones with John and Pete.
Me: Oh, yes. The meetings. I was career woman from the start, wasn’t I?
C: Actually, I think you just liked bossing people around.
Me: So, um, how are John and Pete these days?
C: Well, John achieved his life’s goal of becoming a bathroom. But Pete . . . well, what happened to Pete was tragic.
Me: Oh no! What happened?
C: Well, he finally went skydiving for the first time last year. In Malaysia. You know, Pete always was the exotic type.
Me: Uh-huh. And?
C: There was a flaw in his parachute, and well, let’s just say when the cannibals found him, they proclaimed him the best Split Pete Soup they’d ever had.
Me: How awful! Well, Chunk, we’re out of time. Thanks so much for stopping by.
C: It was a thrill. Listen, I’m going up the tear duct route this time. I came down out of your nostrils, but your nose is so big I got lost in there and wandered around for hours.
Me: Uh, fine. Bye now!
