The Captain, Revealed - plus Big Weird Head
Let’s have a quickie, cuz it’s friday and I’m busy but so wonderfully full of bogus nonsense to share:
I had to get fingerprinted and go to a CORI training today. That’s the Criminal Offender Record Information training, not the Feldman-Haim thing. I don’t need training on the Feldman-Haim thing. I’m as good at that as I want to be.
While I was being fingerprinted, I asked if people sometimes don’t have fingerprints and the technician said, “sure, you had three people here today so far that had no prints.” I need to find these people. I have jewel heists to plan, dammit.
On the CORI documentation that they made me fill out to get access to all kinds of dirty secrets about malefactors, I was asked for various bits of personal information, which I provided. I was also asked for my alias. Wow, I thought: Does this mean I can sign up for one? I’ve been sadly lacking in aliasage for longer than I care to admit, so I asked if I could put down “Captain Midnight."* They told me, no; then, they belittled me. I bet they all had great aliases and they call each other by them when they go to their little alias parties that birth-name losers like me don’t even get to hear about. Pseudonomic bastards.
Alias denial embitters me. However, this cheers me right back up again:
- for those of you who like to get ahead, visit JFK drive in GG Park, where you can find this turf-sniffer. He appeared mysteriously last weekend; the staff at the DeYoung museum down the street a few hundred yards disclaim knowledge of his provenance. However, his magnificent weirdness defies ignorance. I dare you not to notice him! Because, you know, he’s probably checking you out pretty carefully… I mean, look at the size of those eyeballs!
I’ll have more to share once I upload a few dozen random pictures of feathers, finish my short story (not so short any longer, really), and get my CORI clearance. I don’t want to get ahead of myself. After all, Cap’n Midnight is all about getting the proper clearances.
*what, you think I’m kidding? I’m not kidding. The cap’n doesn’t kid about aliases. Especially not his own.
