he was a gas, yes. very much so. unfortunately a past tense. but i still laugh at his remembrance. had a way about him, he did. i left town for several months at one point and he sub-let my basement apartment. it was pretty nice all around. a bitty yard with calla lillies, even. but the bathroom sucked. only a shower and it had a cement floor. but it worked. there was the matter of the spiders. daddy-longlegs. the bathroom and shower were full of 'em. now me and the spiders co-existed. as long as they didn't get on me, i didn't really care if they hung out. but aldo was way scared of 'em. hated them. so i told him to do whatever he needed to do in regards to the spiders. well, when i got back to town, he rather sheepishly directed me to the bathroom. i knew somethin' was up. "what'd ya do, aldo?" he just pointed. i went in and there were burn marks all over the walls and in the shower. his method of killing them was to shoot 'em with hairspray then light 'em on fire. effective but a bit hard on the walls. there he was, standing with his hands folded in front of his huge self, his eyes kinda pleading. "i'm really, really scared of 'em." heck, i did tell him to do whatever he had to. so i got some paint.
