This is just a story, it is a nonsense. It is a story I have been playing with for years. A thought, an amusement, I hope you like the set up. If you do let me know. What follows is a complete lie. If you like it, let me know.
The Rat Pack - Vampire Killers
I used to work for one of the members of the rat pack. I was an assistant to Joey Bishop, a gopher. Go for this, go for that. As jobs go, it wasn't bad, he treated me well enough and I got to see a lot of big stars. I met them all. Vegas, London, New York, I saw the world and got paid for doing it. I also got to see behind the scenes and now that they are all dead I can tell the truth. The Rat Pack was not just a bunch of friends, they were vampire killers.
I know that you may think I am joking; but, I am not and can prove it. I was there for some of it. I wasn't there when Kennedy met with Mr. Frank Sinatra and told him that the nation needed him and that him and his friends would be perfect undercover Vampire killers. I wasn't in the room but Joey told me about it as Mr. Sinatra had told him and the other members of the Rat Pack when he recruited them to help him.
They way Joey told it, Humphrey Bogart and his friends had gone to Las Vegas and killed a den of vampires. His friends included people like Swifty Lazar, Spencer Tracy, David Niven, Cary Grant and even Errol Flynn. That can be looked up on the internet. They were the original Rat Pack sometimes called the Holmby Hills Rat Pack. They came back from Las Vegas after killing a den of vampires and Bogart's wife, Lauren Bacall said they looked like a pack of rats. Not surprising considering the fact that they were covered in blood and beat up from fighting the vampires in Las Vegas.
Las Vegas is a funny place and the perfect home for Vampires. It's a 24 hour town loaded with people who don't know anyone in the area. Vampires could just make them disappear and everyone would assume they were buried outside of Vegas by the local gangsters. Hell, it was the gangsters that made the government aware of the vampire problem. Bad for business. When Vegas was run by the gangsters there was no crime in in Vegas not even prostitution was tolerated by the gangsters within the city. You had to go outside the city for hookers.
I guess I have to tell you the truth about vampires. Contrary to the stories you may have heard, they are not supernatural beings and do not have strengths beyond physics. They do not change into bats, they cannot fly and they do not have superhuman strength. They do live off blood and can live for a very long time. They are nothing more than serial killers. Being a vampire is a choice. You make a deal with the devil, you will live off the blood of others and in exchange you get to live longer. It is not all they consume. Most of the time they eat the same food as you and me. They don't just drink blood, that would be stupid. They drink water, coffee, booze and lots of things. Hell, they love energy drinks. They seem to be caffeine freaks. I guess it makes sense if you are up all night. Oh, they are not afraid of the sun, they work at night so they are not seen and the Vegas heat is hot as can be during the day anyways.
I think I got off track. I'm getting old and as far as I know am the last of the crew that helped the rat pack battle the bastard vampires. I wasn't the only one that helped them, there were others; but, I think I am the last that is still alive. All the jobs have been pasted on to others, to younger people. Maybe I will talk about that later.
Anyways, the way Joey told me was that one day Bogart decided that he and his crew could no longer be the vampire killers for the government and Kennedy decided to ask Mr. Sinatra to take over. That was a tough one. Kennedy and Mr. Sinatra were tight, real tight. Mr. Sinatra was critical to getting Kennedy elected president and you can look that up too. In order to pull it off it was imperative that Kennedy distance himself from Mr. Sinatra, nobody could know or suspect that he knew about the vampires and that the government was seeking them out. After Kennedy blew off Mr. Sinatra, nobody would have suspected that he and his friends were working for him.
So vampires were the real reason that the rat pack made their home in Vegas. They came to kill vampires.
The way Joey told it, Mr. Sinatra took them all into a room and told them that the president wanted them to find and kill vampires in Vegas, their home. They stayed at the Sands hotel and casino. They stayed up all night with the perfect excuses and killed vampires. You might wonder how they knew who the vampires were, the professional poker players spotted them. All night poker is the perfect way to find them. They have to make money too. Night time waiters, cocktail waitresses, dealers, players, you name it, people who are invisible and work at night.
You think this is beyond belief, you doubt me. Read Chuck Barris's novel, "Confesssions of a dangerous mind". Entertainers have been used before. Watch the biography of Houdini, he was a spy in world war one. This was nothing new. Read about Hedy Lamarr, the actress that created a tool to use against the Nazi's in World War II. Everyone gets sucked into war, even celebrities and we were at war with the vampires and still are. We just have the advantage now because of Mr. Sinatra.

Been too long since I posted with news stories.
As my readers know, I have retired. I am adjusting to this new reality. The first week was a little unsettling; but, this was to be expected.
Los Angeles Daily News - As gas tax funds dwindle, California looks to test charging for miles traveled. I have been writing about this for years so my long time readers already knew this was coming.
Wired - Cloud Computing Can Make Any Old Beater a Connected Car. A small device can be added to any old car so that it can be tracked. Hmm, maybe the first two articles are connected. What do you think?
Yahoo - Hillary Clinton breaks silence on emails. Turns out Hillary Clinton has a personal phone and may have conducted some business on it. The tongue wagging and foolishness accompanying this fact is simply stupid. I am far from a Clinton supported; but, I did the exact same thing. While I usually carried two phones, a government phone and my personal phone, if the government phone was not working because the battery died, I would use my phone. Nothing mysterious about it. When I was off, if business came up I would also use my personal e-mail account. Salaried people, as I was, are always on call. We cannot complain about the government having access to all internet traffic and then turn around and seek to take it away from another. We cannot complain about the government and business having the ability to track our phone calls and then seek to do it to another. It is hypocritical.
The Huffington Post - Former NFL Player Craig James Compares Support of Gay Marriage To Satanism. One more imbecile speaks about things they don't understand. Why is it that people who claim to believe in freedom and individual rights seek to keep them from others? It is nobody's business what others do in the privacy of their home. I get vertigo. I am not afraid of heights under certain conditions, I love to fly; but, I cannot look out the side of certain buildings and do not like aerial trams. It is not a choice, or a lifestyle. It is a phobia. I used to wonder if homosexuality was a choice; but, I do not think it is. Whether by genetics or environmental factors, once someone is gay, they are pretty much gay. Me, I only like women and no matter how many gay people may be around me, it is not even a thought. Being gay is not contagious, that I know for a fact.
Final "news" story. Recently I read an article where one actress, Chloe Sevigny, said that another actress, Jennifer Lawrence, was annoying and crass. Now I don't usually write about this type of thing, gossip stuff. I was not really familiar with Ms. Lawrence or her work until the last few weeks, I knew her name but had not seen her in a movie. I was familiar with Ms. Sevigny and like her in film and television. Based on her statements, she is the crass one and lacking in manners. Ms. Lawrence is a child of 25, Ms. Sevigny is 40. The two of them are not competing for roles. CBS News - Chloe Sevigny - Jennifer Lawrence is "annoying" "too crass".
My granddaughter had her first birthday party about a week ago. I attended it. My ex was there with her new boyfriend. I had reason to believe they would be there. The man did nothing to me, he is not the person she cheated on me with. I do not know what it was like for him, my guess was a bit uncomfortable and I had previously been told he was a little shy. I gave them their space; but, as the presents were being opened I found myself sitting near him and he decided to speak to me. Nothing special, just general chit chat. I certainly was not going to bad mouth her to him or treat him with disrespect. I have manners and so did he. The ex on the other hand saw us talking, came over and glared at me. I excused myself and left the table. It was pretty clear that she had not told him much about me, he thought I was an engineer. I am not, I am, was a strategist and negotiator primarily. I also wrote contracts, reports and grants. I prefer this type of writing.
I don't know what it must have been like for him. He knew she had been married for 24 years, he knew we had three daughters, he knew I had provided for her well and that her mother loves me. He also knows she will not talk about me with him. Of course he was curious. I can't blame him for that. I felt bad for him and was not going to add to the pressure. We all need to show a little more manners in this world. Something a lot of the news articles I posted tonight could have improved by.
