This tale beings just like any other, with Rico Sanchez. The
man of the hour. The unstoppable and lovable Giraffe that has broken the hearts
and souls of every person or animal he has ever met. We find him this week in a
special NECK of the woods. He has gotten himself into trouble yet again. Oh
Rico, what are we going to do with you.
FLASHBACK!
The year 2010. Rico 10/10. He is looking great today. His
skin is illuminated by his habitual use of skin lotion. He takes care of
himself. That is beside the point though. Today for breakfast Rico has decided
to venture down to the local diner. He has not been there since he was thrown
out last time for eating their shrubbery. This time will be different he tells
himself, after years of therapy and meditation Rico has converted to being a carnivore.
As he enters the diner the staff seems to have forgotten the incident so he trots
over to the bar and takes a seat. He orders some chicken-fried steak, a delicacy
from his homeland. While he waits for his food he sneak out the back to take
care of some unfinished business. He goes down to the bank on fourth and scouts
the lobby. Years of research and careful planning have lead up to this exact
moment. I place boom box on the ground and start playing, “Born to be Wild” and
put my plan into action. I start prancing around and swinging my neck like
never before. I hit a few people with my neck swoops before security starts to
shoot. They’re too late though, you cannot stop Rico once he has begun dancing.
In prison they called it the helicopter of doom, and it got me out of a lot of
sticky situations. Within minutes the room was cleared and the vault was wide
open. I open my money pouches to receive they well deserved money. I walk out
of the bank, clean as a whistle. As I walk down the street I here sirens and
play it cool. They fly by and I can see them stopping at the bank, they don’t suspect
a thing. I stroll in back to the dinner and my food has just been served, it is
still hot, just like Rico. I eat my steak with dignity and reach into my
pouches for the money I just robbed. It is just enough to cover the bill, I scored
big today. Rico out.

Hello Again,
ReplyDeleteYou have done it again. Tens across the board for this one. I loved the humor, and how it switched perspective from first person to third person at random times. I also really liked the intro and how it was like a old time TV show. Also I liked the detail on how Rico was looking that day. Great work man.

Dance moves as a means of bank robbery! Wow! I love that you found a version of Nighthawks with a giraffe in it...
