i should remark that a i received a phone call from the brain the other day detailing some sad, but promising news.

gordy has been relocated to new mexico.

some sort of wildlife museum. he met the lady via craigs list. they meet in a park. and she brings a tiny little pillow case for a 4 foot long poisonous snake. the details are sketchy, but he believed her, and i have to assume he made the right decision.

now what this means is, some three years ago we captured this snake with an allen wrench taped to a broomstick, and kept it in a styrofoam box. then brain constructed a magnificent palace for the snake. and it was good. he was a marvelous companion. so fucking noisy. unfortunately, he became quite the party trick, and this only ballooned once he followed brain to wayne manor. a novelty item. that ate bats.

and now, gordy clark, the reptillian version of cody, is somewhere naturally warm and desert like. somewhere where they could have just caught a rattlesnake in their backyard. but.....i suppose transporting a snake some 3000 miles southeast makes sense. he was a good friend.

a friend who wanted nothing more than to watch us lapse into cardiac arrest as he pulled his fangs from one of our forearms.
