Lalinda, Jewel, and Great White Spirit
"I spent about two hours at Lalinda's house. She said Jewel helps her reach Great White Spirit."
"Great White Spirit?" That sounds like a generic ghost. Like a bargain brand. Like Price Chopper ascended master or something."
"I have no idea what Great White Spirit is, but she says she can reach it- or him...does GWS have a dick?, because she is powerful."
"Lalinda is saying she, herself is powerful?" Marshall crunches a Dorito. I know all of his late night chewing sounds.
"Yes. For some reason when I think of the idea of Lalinda being powerful I picture a mouse lifting barbells."
"Sounds about accurate. Wasn't Lalinda going to make one of her vegan specials for you tonight?"
"Yes, she did. It featured a boiled artichoke that looked like a decayed baseball. I couldn't stand being in her ugly, cramped apartment. The only decor she has is a picture of herself from when she was a dance major at some crappy college in Iowa. She's got her arms in a graceful ballerina pose above her head, but her knees are bent really far, like she's squatting down about to take a crap on stage."
"Woudn't surprise me. What school did she go to?"
"I don't know. Chuck's College. Whatever." After about an hour I felt like the walls were closing in on me and I was sick of hearing Jewel yodel about her period, or whatever Jewel warbles about"
That makes Marshall laugh. "But Jewel yodeling about her period is what summons Great White Spirit!"
