One of these days, I'm going to have to clean out my car's glove compartment. Because everything that I've ever owned and stored in that glove compartment has taken a life on its own, and yay verily, they have gone out on their own adventures.
But that only barely explains the gold-plated human skull in my glove compartment. I tried to take it out, but it seems to have adhered itself to my left palm. While this is almost totally cool, the gold skull commands me to do things.
Apparently, the human skull is roughly 1100 years old, and cursed with a terrible ancient Incan god-spirit. Being buried in the hot, steamy jungle of South America for what it describes as "aeons," and then being surreptitiously transported around the world - only to wind up in my glove compartment - made the Incan god-spirit considerably irritable.
So, having lacking an actual body, he decided to live vicariously through me. While eating, watching movies, and just generally running around downtown Portland in only a loincloth and war paint in the name of ancient Incan god-spirits is all fine and dandy, it takes a while to get them acclimated to the wonders of today. Like, explaining that antifreeze does not actually warm you up if you drink it.
I am fortunately free of the Incan god-spirit, as it forced me to wander into a stripper club, and it suddenly remembered the awesome, compelling force of NOOKIE. It ordered me to open the "Employees Only" door and to throw me into the girl's locker room and to then "descend back to my lowly mortal station in life."
All I know is that after fifteen minutes, I found the golden skull in the corner of the club, being stroked by several overly-mammilian ladies in thongs that were clearly too tight for them.
Well, I'm no longer an Incan god-spirit's right hand man, but I suppose that's a plus too. I really can't put that on a resume. And it would be hard to explain why I had to leave my job, and devote my life serving a gold plated human skull.
