Sidewalk Narrative: So much leaves

Burger King diners, including Nancy Shevell, peer through windows, in amazement as the breeze relentlessly chases orange and brown crunchy leaves down the sidewalk.



Ryan Howard

So much leaves on the sidewalk today? What's going on?



Janet Devlin

Duh! It's autumn, where do you expect to see them? On the trees?



Ryan Howard

Oh I see! Aren't they gonna block the drains?



Janet Devlin

Who cares! Autumn comes only once per year




CHILDREN jump in a heap of rustling leaves



Janet Devlin

I love the crunchy sounds under their feet



Ryan Howard

Sometimes it sounds like footsteps. But there is no greater feeling..it's wonderful!



Janet Devlin

OH NO!



Ryan Howard

What's the matter DRAMA QUEEN?



Janet Devlin

I think I stepped on a frog beneath this pile of leaves



Ryan Howard

You EVIL, HEARTLESS... Let me help you clear away the leaves so we can have a better look at it




Janet Devlin

Thanks



Ryan Howard(Laughs)

Wait! It's not a frog, you muppet! Its a rotten grapefruit




Janet Devlin (sighs in relief)

Thank you God





Janet Devlin

Look at this idiot with the leaf-blower!



Ryan Howard

He is not an idiot. He is blowing the leaves OFF the sidewalk


Janet Devlin

Yes, thats not bad. But he's blowing them into someone's yard



Ryan Howard

I think he's a smart-ass. He realizes his mistake, so he's now blowing them back to the sidewalk



Janet Devlin

IDIOT!





FALLiNG LEAVES HITS CYCLIST IN THE FACE. CYCLIST LOSES CONTROL CRASHES INTO ONCOMING CYCLIST WHO HAS A PASSENGER.



Ryan Howard and Janet Devlin try to stifle laughter as cyclists blame each other.


CYCLISTS SHOWS THEM MIDDLE FINGER AND HURL INSULTS



Janet Devlin

Lots of leaves in your hair




Ryan Howard

Lots of leaves



CYCLIST BRUSHES HAiR FRANTICALLY WITH BACK OF HIS HAND.



Cyclist

liars liars!



LAUGHTER



CYCLIST CURSES, SWEARS THEN RIDES OFF IN THE OPPOSIT DIRECTION



Ryan Howard (laughs)

He even forgets his own direction



Janet Devlin

Just another IDIOT



Janet Devlin

There are fallen leaves all over the sidewalk. Autumn is definitely here.



Ryan Howard

I think you said that earlier, but this time it sounds like you are reading a romance novel



Janet Devlin

OMG! This is my favourite time of the year! I can’t help but gush about it. I am especially obsessed with the browned, fallen leaves.



Ryan Howard

Mine also. Listen to the sound of dry leaves dancing and colliding on the sidewalk; no doubt about it AUTUMN IS HERE!




Janet Devlin

Hurrah! I Love autumn




They both stomp through pile of leaves heaped up by sweeper



SWEEPER:

I HATE AUTUMN! When it’s not the darn wind scattering the leaves I swept, its IDIOTS LIKE YOU. DO YOU MIND?



Ryan

I think you're just making a mess(giggle)



SWEEPER

YOU DON'T HAVE A CLUE. I have swept this area lots of times in the last hour but the damn trees keep letting go of their leaves



Ryan Howard

It's autumn, you MUPPET!



THEY KICK THROUGH OTHER PILES. Sweeper chases them with his broom and clenched fists




Janet Devlin

Let's collect the ones with the most beautiful colours



Ryan Howard

What for? You idiot! Don't have anything better to do?



Janet Devlin

The other girls will love them, don't YOU think?



Ryan Howard,

OH YES! Why didn't you say so earlier?


Janet Devlin

It's a pity we will not be able to capture the sound of the other leaves blowing along the sidewalk



Ryan Howard

Sorry Winsome. You win some, You lose some

Nothing but drama ALL week

Jeremy Maclin, it felt great to return to work this week. As usual, I both walked and drove. What a week it's been! DAMN! It's been nothing but pure drama drama, drama, drama! Don't wonder what it would have been like without the pedestrians and motorists who supplied the OOMPH to my week, even though sometimes they made me scream and pull my hair out. I am delighted to share the week's highlights with you.


MONDAY

CHUM:

He says if you have something to say, say it to his face instead of honking your horn like a MAD MAN


Raging Bull:

Grrr!

Since there is sidewalk for cyclists, he should USE IT AND GET OFF THE DARN ROAD!!!!!!!

CHUM:

He called you a acn DONUT!


RB:

Only an IDIOT get lost EVERYDAY with maps and direction pointers and gps




CHUM:

You can't walk barefooted on the cold sidewalk. Why did you take off your shoes and threw it in the ditch?

Raging Bull:

No place in my shoe for you, you long legged fuher! No! You're DEAD! YOU SCUM OF THE EARTH. VERMIN! Do you have any spider poison in your manbag

Chum:

NO! Squash its skeleton with the shoe


TUESDAY

Chum:

If you could, it seem you would punch that driver. what's wrong?
Raging Bull: Grrr! He's driving too SLOW to be in the fast lane! The speed limit is 65 for heaven sake! Come on, MOVE OVER!



RAGING BULL:

Vehicle horns drive me crazy.


CHUM:

Motorists use them to show how rude they are to us pedestrians


RAGING BULL:

Such NUISANCE!!


CHUM:

I know. Mind you, the emergency sirens are no better


RAGING BULL:

True. But THEY SAVE LIVES.horns destroy lives AND RELATIONSHIPS. My husband hate horns so much, he cant stand hearing them on the radio


WEDNESDAY

Chum:

All That rage! Why are you showing NFLX your middle finger?


Raging Bull

SINCE he dislikes HOW I drive, I want him to get the HELL off the sidewalk!


Chum:

The truck driver said you're not fit to drive


Raging Bull:

Yes, I’M A ANGRY driver. Yes, rage, therapy might help, you wanna know what else would help??....IF HE COULD DRIVE!!.


THURSDAY


Chum:

nnamdi asomugha! I can't, these SLOW WALKERS taking up the WHOLE sidewalk....



Raging Bull:

...Me neither. For your information TURTLES, some of us have dogs to feed and uncles to have dinner with



Raging Bull:

Keep your seat belt on and be quiet!


Chum:

your highness, please don’t discriminate against me because I’m in the passenger seat. I want to reach over to honk the horn and swear at other drivers too. I'M BORED!



FRIDAY


Raging Bull:

mini driver swerve into me then DELIBERATLEY ran me off the road.
Chum: OMG! I had no idea one had to be so defensive even when driving a big bus.


Raging BUll:

Defend? By the time I realized what was happening, it was too late to DEFEND; I was on the sidewalk on my side, and he was GONE like carlos beltran



CHUM:

I stopped in the rain to fix one of my flip flops that broke. The other one fell off my feet and sailed down the sidewalk in the water. Could'nt catch it. Had to walk the rest of the way home BAREFOOT. Fudge!


Raging Bull:

What a TRAGEDY!



SATURDAY

Raging Bull:

(rants) TO HELL WITH ALL YOU pedestrians congesting the sidewalk. I wish your brains explode and scatter all over the sidewalk. I don't give damn!


Chum:

Take it easy. PLEASE!



RB:

honking at pensioners again?


C:

Any car that passes me on the shoulder is getting rammed.Blame my school for my anger!


RB:

I'm scared we'll bump into the lorry driver we threw the sprite cans on.


C:

He was mad like eagles.


RB:

His arms are bigger than our legs. Let's go straight home. If we see him on the way, we simply give a few hand signals


C:

Provided no kids are present



SUNDAY


CHUM:

one of these days a motorist is gonna punch you in the face



RAGING BULL:

progeria! If I knew he was gonna point a pistol in my face when I opened his car door, I would have stayed in the car with you and wait for the cops to arrive



CHUM:

For your birthday, I'm gonna get a bumper sticker that says 'OUT OF RAGE MEDICATION'
