Mr. Johnson’s Candy Trick

Halloween. Nicole was a star-princess with a shimmering derby. Danny was a cowboy. The 4 of us joined up with Nancy, Brittainy, and Shawn (as a skeleton) to skower the neighborhoods for tons of candy.

Stopped by Northlake Mall to participate in an industrial version of Halloween. Too many people and too bright. We left quickly.

Mr. Johnson (Eugene) 3 doors down performed his legendary candy dispursement trick, scooping armfuls of candy into the kids’ bags.

Danny came away laughing, “I got 10.” That’s all the fingers Danny has, and it translates into infinity.

Kathy figures they each got

at least $10 of candy. I guess more.

jagged cut that split the pumpkin into an upper

and lower half. Made for easy scooping and a nasty, wrap-around grin. (Great price at Cub Foods.)

I went to Westpoint with rep Brian Pomrenke to sell Charter Federal on tracking. Kathy had a killer Art History exam. We’re both exhausted.

(11:52 pm.)

Ted brought over some pirated modules of AfterDark. He came into the house with a wild stare in his eyes saying “I’m here to load some software.” We were leaving, so we gave him free reign.

I think I’ve created a MacMonster.

One thought on “Mr. Johnson’s Candy Trick

  1. There wasn’t even an internet yet. I’m trying to think where the software came from. Either from AMUG (in which case you could have gotten them yourself) or from being a temp at Northern Telecom (where I made an extra dollar an hour for knowing how to use the easier-to-use Mac). Certainly I wouldn’t have stolen something from a workplace?

    I like the 10 is infinity thing. That’s like in Watership Down where the rabbits could only count to four because that’s how many feet they had. Anything more than that was “many”.
