As my friend David Naughton once said, "I'm a Pepper," a fan of Dr. Pepper. When served from a fountain, in a cup, with crushed ice, I refer to it as my "elixir." Now, after scouring the town in search of just the right mix between syrup, and carbonated water, I've deciphered which places have the best tasting Dr. Pepper, and only buy it from those places. Nocturna, of course, cannot figure why I needed to do all of this scouring, and, obviously, with me being as omniscient as I am, I didn't need to. I just thought it'd be fun. What's more fun is the fact that I usually don't pay for my magical elixir, as, most everywhere I go around this neck of the woods, more people than not seem to know who I am, and are fans of both "The BONE JANGLER," and "Daytime Dungeon," programs, and refuse payment.
Tonight, not only did I receive my Dr. Pepper free of charge, but, there were 3 gorgeous ladies (2 moms, and a teenaged daughter) who, after getting over their intial surprise at seeing BONE DADDY inside a gas station (gasp!), basically lined up, and took turns hugging me repeatedly, and telling me how much they love me, how beautiful Nocturna is, and how adorable Young Master Gregory is.
People who are only vaguely familiar with what I do (television) often wonder why I continue to do this, after all these many years, for little to no money. If they saw what goes on, like what happened this evening, for instance, they wouldn't ask me such a silly question.
