Grrr and the Creature. part 1


Grrr and the Creature.


Grrr had gone back to Cali to see some old students and while he was there met his old friend the Creature from the Black Lagoon. Grrr and the Creature had made the rounds together in the early days of their acting careers and had formed deep bonds of trust and friendship. Grrr had once told his human friend Bob, that the friends you make as a young being are often the best.
The Creature has come back to LA from the Amazon to "pitch" a TV idea he had for a reality show and was not having too much luck.
The two old actors were happy to see each other and retired to a watering hole for a few drinks.
Grrr told the Creature what he and Gretta had been doing since they left Hollywood and inquired after the Creature's family.
"Glad to hear that things are going well." said the Creature as he wrapped his claw around a Swamp water and coke. "Me? well, I got bored being retired and  came back to the old place to see if I could pitch a new reality show. That is all the rage, but those studio guys are plain nuts."
"Heck, that is nothing new." said Grrr taking a slug of root beer.
"No, buddy," answered the Creature. "They are inhuman..nuts...I mean we creatures have never been too fond of humans, but there are things even we won't do to em."
As the Creature started to explain, Grrr was so shocked that he spilled his root-beer!!" 
"Pal, you gotta be kidding" said Grrr to the Creature.
"Wish I was. Nope, they wanted these humans to jump in my lagoon and they would release a tank of Piranha and any human that make it across the lagoon made it into the next challenge
They wanted me to set up a deal with the army ants...the humans had to crawl their nests looking for clues!!
Grrr, you know what THOSE  ant guys are like."
"Who?"  asked Grrr. "I mean where would they find humans nuts enough...even actors.."
"Grrr, they had humans lined up around the block just asking to get on the show."
"No", the Creature, knocking back his glass of swamp water and coke, I am outta here.
 Hollywood is just gotten  too strange for an innocent monster, I am taking that gig at Seaworld."
