VerticalVeteran:

Out of the fog . . .
into the smog . . .
relentlessly . . .
ruthlessly . . . . . .
doggadly . . .

toward his weekly meeting with The Unknown.

At 4th and Drucker he turns left.
At Drucker and 4th he turns right.
He crosses MacArthur Park
and walks into a great sandstone building.

Groping for the door,
he steps inside,
climbs the thirteen steps to his office . . .

He walks in!
He’s ready for mystery . . .
he’s ready for excitment . . .
he’s ready for anything . . .
he’s . . .

Nick Danger, Third Eye!

VerticalVeteran:

The makers of Fantastic Cigarettes,
“Long in the leaf
and Short in the can,

” bring you another true story
from the tattered casebook of Nick Danger,
Third Eye.

Let’s join him now in the adventure we call,

“Cut ‘Em Off At The Past!”

VerticalVeteran:

I didn’t hear him enter,
but my nostrils flared
at the smell of his perfume

-- Pyramid Pachtuli.

There was only one joker
in Los Angeles
sensitive enough to wear that scent,

and I had to find out who he was!

George Bush

||||||||| VerticalVeteran rushes off, saying "3:58 AM? Mark Time is almost on! Where's a radio?"
||||||||| Catherwood enters, and announces to all and sundry "It's 4:32 AM, time to change the log file and clean out unused rooms; please exit the chat room for a minute or two. Thank you for your patience."
