Title: THE END

Zorma: Roke, your memory is bad! You had had those thick coke-bottle eyeglasses and you were very ugly. Those glasses must've made you mistake someone else for me! I was no taller than you! And I didn't have a big butt--it's just my skirts made it look big. And I wasn't a bad girl! Nuh uh! I was a sweet and gentle person...

Roke: Oooooooh...yeahhhhhhh......and you ware also just *TERRIBLE* at videogames, weren't you?

Zorma: Are you kidding me?? I could beat you with both my eyes closed, Loserboy!! I STILL can!! Gimme that Joystick!

Instead of being good friends with us, Zorma began to hunt me and my friends like rabbits.

Franklin: Zorma caught this loserboy with the squirrel face.

Zorma: Don't worry about him. We'll have a great time, won't we boys?

Conchita and Bambi: YYYYYEEESSSS!!! WE'RE GONNA KICK OVER THE GARBAGE CANS!! YAYYYYY!!

Roke: HE HE HE...Boumboum, what a loserboy YOU turned out to be! They caught you! Hah! Hehehe! Where are Ch'marr, Zorro-re,PumaSue and the others?

Boumboum: They all escaped. HEY I'm no loserboy! At all those parties, who washed the dishes? Wasn't me! It was YOU, wasn't it, Roke??

Roke: Ah yes--but it was YOU who dried them! AND took out the garbage! Speaking of garbage.....hehehehe

Title: My Friends

Well, after getting dumped in the garbage can on Halloween, I decided to instead, be with my real friends, the people who really love me. I won't give their real life names, but you know them. Wonderful people, like Slinger, Modoxjake, SophiaDeer, serge_rollin, enigma-man, yarddog, Zorro-re, Arianna,Ch'marr,PumaSue, boumboum34,Yiya and Yipsy. Thank you all!

Zorma: What are you and your friends doing, Roke??

Roke: Absolutely nothing. Just watching the sunset.

Zorma: Hmph! Man, that's pathetic! Bunch of loserboys...

Roke: Want to join us?

Zorma: *smile* *thinks*....yes......And thank you all--my best friends!

Title: Disillusion

Zorma caught me, and the next thing I knew, I was standing in a garbage can...

Roke: YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME!! I HAVE THE LEGAL RIGHT TO GO WHERE I WISH!

Conchita: Hehehe! This boy talks like a lawyer!

Zorma: YOU HAVE THE RIGHT to remain silent. And YOU HAVE THE RIGHT to go anywhere you like in this GARBAGE CAN!

Conchita and Zorma both: *giggle*

Title: Little Zorma

Twenty years ago there was a girl I really liked, but she was much taller than me, and totally out of my league. She was a maniac for video arcade games. Pac-Man, Dig-Dug, Mr. Doo, Centipede, Missile Command--she loved them all!

Roke: I just want to be friends Zorma. Uh, Zorma? I have something I want to ask you. Would you like to go Trick-or-Treating with me on Halloween??

Zorma: YIAAAAAAKKKKKK!! What? and have everyone SEE us together?? You're NUTS!

Roke: No no! It'll be cool! I'll wear a mask! No one will know it's me! It's Halloween! Remember?

Zorma: Oh, THAT'S a good idea! Everybody will think I'm dating a munchkin!! Put another coin in or GET OUT OF HERE, loserboy!

Aunt Maggie: Thank you for taking care of little Roky. Bertha tried to read him a story to calm him down, but he couldn't sleep a wink all night--says he's scared of EL DIABLO.

Bertha: Don't worry. I'll take care of it!

Roke: YYYYIIIIIIKKKKKEESS!!!!! WHO *IS* THAT THING ON THAT WALL OVER THERE???

Title: EL DIABLO

After watching all those horrible horror movies, I couldn't sleep a single wink..so I stayed at the side of Aunt Maggie's bed.

Aunt Maggie: GET OUT OF HERE ROKE!! I'm trying to sleep!!! I can't sleep with you staring at me like that!!! I have to get to work early tomorrow!! So GO! PLEASE!!

Roke: Ok...I'm sorry, Aunt Maggie. I will go.....but That big monster El Diablo is gonna EAT ME UUUUUUPPP!!! *boo hoo hooooooooooooo* *waaaaahhhhhhhhhh*

Aunt Maggie: If you were half as brave as your father, may he rest in peace, you would not be here crying--

Roke: REST IN PEACE??????

Aunt Maggie: I mean....did I say that?? I mean..."Yes, may he rest in peace in Acapulco, having a great time with your mom without you!!"

Roke: Without me????? *WWWWAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH

I loved Fridays. That was movie night. Bertha and her friend Vicky always brought something in Betamax....ah yes...good old Betamax! And great movies! Alien. The Eighth Passenger, Night of the Living Dead, The Exorcist, Friday the 13th, The Thing, Halloween, so many others...Just the thing for 2-year-old Anna to watch!

Vicky: Oh my! Look at little Roky. Do you think these movies are too much for him?

Bertha: Oh, nawwwwwwww (smile). Can't you tell?? He LOVES these movies! See the joy on his face? He's absolutely RIVETED! Besides, look at Anna, sleeping peacefully. I'm certain Roke will be sleeping like a baby tonight! Won't you, Roky? Roky?

Roky: Oh my god...that woman's NAKED!!

Bertha: See? What did I tell you? Perfect movie for little children!

Our Dear Aunt Maggie hired a Nanny for us....but she was very cruel, giving us spankings for no reasons. I suspect she just liked to see my naked baby bottom...I still remember that horrible name of hers...Bertha.

Bertha: Oh noooooooo....You ate up all the cookies and didn't leave me even one???? You need a spanking for that!!

Bertha: Let's ask Anna how many spankings Little Roky deserves today...

Roke: hehehe....She doesn't know how to count!

Anna, just say "one!"...you can say that, can't you??

Anna: One.....one......

Roke: Thank you, Anna! You just saved my life---

Anna: .....THOUSAND......

Roke: WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH......

Bertha: I taught her that word just this morning....Isn't that wonderful???

Twenty years ago, I was just 10, and my little sister was 2. Our parents died in a terrible automobile accident. Our dear Aunt Maggie took care of us, but she also hid the truth about our parents and told us they were on a trip.

Roke: *wahhhhh* *Boo hoo hoo*....They didn't come back for us! They forgot us already!! *WAHHHHHH!!!*

Anna: Buuu....Daddeeeee??? Mommmeeeee???

Roke: Oh be quiet! You know why they left and didn't come back??? It's because all night...every night....YOU woke them up! "Bathe me! Feed me! Change me!" Every 2 hours! Now *I* want a vacation!!!

Anna: WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
