Uplifting songs for the broken-hearted (you and #'s 18-20)

18) The gorillas that dog the deaf. It was a phrase that came to him once and never left. It came subconsciously; not a reaction to something that occurred. Each and every day he'd try to attach the phrase to something, to prove that it had profound meaning. He'd heard about this sort of thing happening to others through an old Bill Burroughs recording. Was he the deaf one? Why did the gorillas fuck with him? No, it was some political message. Or did it explain the daily struggle of man throughout time? Maybe it was literal. He was nervous about mentioning any of this to his friends, but he did anyway. They said it could very possibly be something really stupid, and they made him say the phrase out loud again. It sure sounded stupid, he'd think. He gave up on his idea and got a job at Quizno's. He got one free sandwich on a workday and never tried to apply the phrase to this situation.

19) His gimmick goes something like this..... he shows up at your door and motions down the street, indicating he lives there. He will then talk about being retired from Miller, Pepsi or Coke and if you would like to get a some cases of drink you can give him X amount of money and he'll bring the stuff back to you. He also engages in Block Watch talk..... he is either interested in putting together a block watch or if he sees the Block Watch signs he'll say he's part of the Block Watch. This is an older black male and the reports are that he always looks dirty and unkempt.

20) Post #300 - wow, what a difference. He sat back in his slide-back chair, the one with the splice on the side, as he drank a can of Slice. He tilted to about 15 degrees. He finally won.
