[SPEC] Cigarette man

Just some random musings regarding our self-appointed vigilante.

I'm thinking he'll be taking down Phillip Kim at some point.

"That's a funny place for a Canoe...."

And Corazona... it seems he is going for the people who are into the darker sides of life... one thing he won't expect is that she has a trusty glock in her back pocket...

If Vaquero makes it through the week without seeing a canoe, I will be very suprised.

Should we start a dead pool? Twisted Evil

OK, more spec:
Since Don is pulling Kerry's puppet strings, and Kerry is beginning to doubt the validity of his "assignments" I predict a point where Kerry eventually turns on his "master".

I dub him: Darth Canoe.

Darth Canoe

J5: i have been wondering about the Kerry v. Don meeting as well.

I haven't decided who I think will survive it, but at the moment my money is on Don.

I totally second the dubbance of "Darth Canoe"


But beyond that, I think Vaquero is TOTALLY on the hit list as that list seems to be comprised of "bad men".

Also, this would make a cool way (albeit contrived and silly) for Spider and Kerry to hook up. They've both got abusive parental situations, they're both non-adverse to the darker sides of "personnel management" Smile, and not to mention, how cool would that be?

(Ok, so it's not gonna happen... Darth Canoe and Spider, sitting in a tree...)

It's not really "bad men" anymore though; it's "men McPherson needs eliminated because they are looking for/know he is looking for/have/had the Gun or information about it" Smile

Okay, then to extend my previous spec, with some more facts, and some crazy spec for fun:

Vaquero "holds rights" to Spider, and therefore, as Spider knows about the gun, so will Don know that Spider knows about the gun... how do you get info on Spider's whereabouts? Through Vaquero.

Hence, Vaquero goes bye-bye. Spider meets Kerry, there's a major showdown, and they both realize they are two halves of the same person. They reconcile their differences, realize Don is the bad dude here, they both off Don together, and live happily ever after in a two-flat in Los Angeles, and start a film consultancy career, with Spider doing acting work on the side. Lucy plays poker again, wins big, and realizes that William was really nice to her when she needed it... She marries William, and having such affirmation of his good points, cleans up his act. Lucy gets him in touch with Spider's agency, and William gets acting work again. Meanwhile, Corazon finds out about Kerry killing Victor, and goes nutso. She confides in Clay, due to their closeness since the Paco shootout at the deli-mart. They hook up, and things subside there.

Simon finds out about the whole anti-semetic dude (can't remember his name), and kills him right quick. That's all nicely wrapped up too. Simon goes home, makes a sandwich and decides all is well with the world. (He thinks that the modern minute men did Maurice's death, and is satisfied with taking down that organization.) He starts a pro-semetic rights league, and makes great headway in helping resolve the tension between the Palestinians and the Israelis in the middle-east. He gets the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts and writes a memoir then dies at the age of 79.

The ESC disbands after a couple of strategic busts by Benito Rojas, teamed with a newly reformed Phillip Kim. Fueled by the (percieved) gangland murder of Richard, they decide to crack down hard, taking down Mi Casa (now without a head, remember) and ESC. They do so effectively, but realize that Matt Viet is now out of the organization. He does a little time (about a year) for his involvement with the whole video switcheroo (his brother anthony turned him in, the rat bastard) and then comes out, a la hacker guru Minnick, and becomes a CEO of a tech company, specializing in internet security.



Trey Muncie, aka omarhakim, is enfuriated, with being a character with no updates, and shoots up a post office for no apparent reason, and is kept in an asylum for the next 25 years. He leaves a changed man, and invents the "pet sponge" (just water, and keep in the sun!) and makes millions before he turns 60.

And it turns out hikerd00d wasn't dead after all. He was just chilling out in Denver, CO, busting some mad skillz on the snowboard. What a wacky guy!

Next, we have Devon Brown, completing his research in Antarctica, writes a scientific piece on the properties that make penguins really non-skid, and what allows them to slide so effortlessly on the ice. He wins an Ig Nobel award, and lives in mild prosperity for the rest of his days, once in a while financially backing some oddly choiced film and theatre shows, including the commercial flop "Bonnie and Clyde!" (the musical), which was the nail in the coffin, financially ruining Richard Brunswick, who to this day works in a Starbucks off 5th Avenue.

Finally, that leaves us with thedealer. In all of this frenzy, the gun is still hidden safely away by Lucy in an underground bunker. Lucky is very happy with this outcome as many of the people who were after the gun are now satisfied in life, or dead. Therefore, he just haunts the site, looking to spook players out of a couple of bucks in an otherworldly tournament here and there. Dorkmaster becomes all-time chip leader, due to his l337 poker skillz, and the world is again safe... for now.

Teh endz, y'all.

(I expect royalties, 42! Cool)
