There once was a fellow named Mackie. He was a brilliant bowler and bowled 300 every time he bowled. Yes this is a fantasy. He really was in the 170 range on a usual basis or so.
I ran into Mackie on one of my holidays to Costa Rica. I think Mackie weighed about 205 pounds or so. He was a really interesting fellow and I really respected his candor and humor. In fact, Mackie introduced me to thirteen new flavors of beer that are not commercially available. Safe to say that Mackie introduced me to a future of which I could never get enough. I had the secret as to how to procure these 13 flavors of beer and all was good. I was happy and the days ahead looked blessed. But thats the sad thing, Mackie decided that he liked to clip the ties of midwestern gentlemen that he met on boats and that he wanted to share their tie clippings with the mice in the attic of his house. I thought Mackie was brilliant. The mice would take the tie clippings and sew them into beautiful napkins for Mackies dresser to carry. Mackie was just drop dead insane in the fact that he never went back and drank the 13 flavors of beer ever again and to this day Mackie hangs out at his dresser admiring the wonderful napkins that his mice created. Its all ok with me, but I think that beer tastes really good and I really do hope that Mackie doesnt forget to smile when I show up at his birthday party with a 6 pack of 6 of those 13 bottles of beer that Mackie once showed me in life. Mackie if you are out there, I dont really think of you much. I had a good day in your company and I just really hope you really are truly happy. That beer was good and I'm always up to share with my friends your story.
