So when I was a teenager, ( or as my younger and completely out of my league female friend, who I keep hitting on but is insisting that "we can just be friends" lie that the hegemonic structure of Hollywood is constantly peddling through the quite beautiful Jennifer Aniston, refers to it), in the year King Uzziah died, I lost a close personal friend by the name of Rhemmy Rhemington. For those of you who maybe to young to remember the '90's, he was a very popular House DJ.
His death was tragic as he died in a freak chocolate smelting accident, (we had shirts printed up and everything, with catchy slogans like "Give Me a Break" and "Gone but Not Delicious"). Personally i blame the girl that he was dating at the time. He was trying to impress her for Valentines Day, but with little success as after he encased his body within a shell of chocolate, he suffocated and was not found for three weeks because the girl was lactose intolerant and instead of telling him, simply put the 220 lb box of chocolate in the back of her fridge behind the jar of Mayo and olives.
For some reason I always connect his death to that of The Beatles. No one is quite sure about the exact number of members of the band, but we do know there were at least four; Paul McCartney, John Lennon, Ringo Starr and...Scratchy, the Bass Player, who also died in a chocolate smelting incident.
But back to this young lady that he died for, (did I mention that she was from New Providence, which if you haven't been paying attention is an epic fail, the only good thing that has ever come out of Nassau is the mail boat heading back to Andros), she was chicken head. I don't mean that as a euphemism for something filthy that I learnt while watching CSI, she literally had a chicken head, due to some genetic mutation caused by her mother drinking Nassau tap water while pregnant with her, she was born with the head of a hen. So you can understand how it is impossible to even think that the relationship would have worked out, where could he take her to dinner?
Bamboo Shack is completely out of the question, and so where does that leave them, with no viable place to stand in the relationship.
