http://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/results.asp?WRD=Drockton&z=yIf you want to know about today, you gotta go back to yesterday, its just that simple. That's why I recommend the above book for your perusal.
Now, Take it from Mayor Pierogi, if you're the only one on your block without a Pink Flamingo or a lady's rear end poking up at ya from the Gardenias, people are gonna take notice! And that's not a good thing! Yeah it was fine to let the weeds grow outa the sidewalk back in the day. But, take it from me, Mayor Pierogi, you do that kinda stuff in today's Parma and people are going to think you're one of those Terroristas they keep hearing about!
Now, who wants to take off their shoes for an explosives check before they get on the RTA bus to Parmatown? Do you realize what happens when fat people bend over at the bus stop? Do I need to paint you a picture? Who wants to go through metal detectors on "Ladies Night" at the Bowling ally? Some guy x-raying your bowling bag finds out your bowling ball has an "illegally installed lead core!" Now your buddies quickly realize that you have exceeded the official 16 pound weight limit for bowling balls, and they call for a Congressional Inquiry.
There you are, with all those microphones jammed in your face looking like Barry Bonds caught with steroid needle sticking outa his butt at Parma Home Bakery. Yeah, you can plead innocent all you want. You can even take the fifth; but when iit all comes right down to it you can kiss your name in red plastic letters over lanes 3, 4 and 5 goodbye! Mr. 300, becomes the official towel boy for the annual bowling tournament! They take away you blue stenciled shirt with "Parma Car wash" on the back and cross out your name on the plastic scorecard so noone can see it when they project it up on the wall! And that's not a good thing!
.Next thing you know your gonna end up with your name on the "Do Not Call List" of every one of your neighbors! And that's not a good thing!
You invite neighbor Ralph over for a backyard barbecue and he tells you he'll be there as long as you stay 10 feet away from the lighter fuel and the hot charcoal briquettes! And that's not a good thing!
So, remember, if you pick up one end of the pierogi, you get the other end along with it! And that's not always a good thing!
