We all earned some crazy nicknames when we were dealing
drugs. Some of us were tall, so we got
called things like “Cleveland Giraffe” and “San Jose Giraffe,” basically
variations on the city we were in and the animal, giraffe. Others had strange birth defects that made
both of our eyes develop on one side of our face and never left the town we
grew up in, and so came to be called “Flounder.”
You’re not part of this royal “we” we just related two
choice examples from. You earned your
nickname because you’re cool, you’re good at what you do, and you wear a sweet
fake mustache.
Your nickname is “Funky Walrus,” and you sell everything
under coke on the danger scale in Southern Florida. The majority of your customers are elderly
people, but you don’t make distinctions about who you sell to, except that you
don’t give product to assholes.
Assholes, and people who pollute.
“If I’m gonna take the time to ride my golf-cart to your
house, you can take the time to recycle, asshole,” is one of your many
catchphrases.
Others include “Eyyyy!” and “I’d stick my manatee dick in
that if it wasn’t taken.”
Oh, by the way, you’re a manatee. This comes in handy because you can’t be
prosecuted in American courts, and Florida cops have no desire to in any way
harm an endangered species. So you’re
basically able to operate with impunity in the small, quiet beach communities
that dot the south of Florida, dispensing drugs (that you see as
non-threatening) to residents as needed.
Tomorrow, you’re going to do the whole community a
solid. Colette, your friend Jared’s
grandmother, is going to be fresh out of weed for her glaucoma, but her social
security check will be late. Most
dealers would do some credit shit that would eventually get awkward, but you
know how it is to get fucked over by the government, so instead you’re just
going to give Colette a week’s supply and tell her to pay it forward in cookies
or cakes or something nice like that when she can.
You’ll smoke a bowl with her after you drop her stash off,
listen to her talk about how awesome the forties were (apparently World War II
was sort of awesome if you were a bi girl) and then take off in your golf-cart
to your next destination, driving down the side of the road at a stately
fifteen miles per hour so as to not lose your fashionable Panama hat.
Congratulations Funky Walrus!
