“How’s your head, Lamont?”

“Better, but that was bad.”

“Scary too, I bet. In these times.”

“These times?”

“Virus and all.”

“Dude, you know as well as I do that Jim Morrison was right.”

“What? Do you still have a migraine?”

“Just the hangover, but seriously, Dude. It’s always right there.”

“WHAT is right there?”

“The bear, the meteor, the fire, the whole enchilada. Have you heard anything about the museum opening again? I kind of miss you dressing up in the Smilodon suit.”

“You never saw me in the Smilodon suit.”

“I did. On Youtube. It’s pretty legit.”

“Not really if you think that I never got to grow up as a Smilodon. But whatever. History is nothing but a vague gesture toward… Whoa! Lamont, did you see that one??? Damn, I wish I’d been out there.”

“It’s weird seeing the boardwalk so empty, the beach all empty, staying raked like that.”

“There goes another one. What a waste.”

“Decent. Definitely decent. You know the saying. ‘If a wave breaks and there’s no one to ride it…’ Hang on Dude. It’s Oprah.”

“She’ll be wanting you to work overtime?”

“Good one, Dude!”

Lamont and Dude are characters I came up with a few years ago. They have the uncanny ability to remember many of their past incarnations which gives them an unusual perspective on life, the universe and everything. If you enjoyed this, there are hundreds more episodes. Just type “Lamont and Dude” in my blog’s search bar.
