Marine Corps Stories: Mickey Mouse Boots
Two Negro Marines talk about their values.
“Goddamn it’s cold!” Marine Corporal Trinner Montclair declared.
“She’s on my mind!” Sergeant Dawser Milne exclaimed.
“What? We’re out here with these Mickey Mouse boots fighting in Korea and for what I don’t know and you’re up here talking about some gal!”
“Kalana Haverson. She’s the best colored starlet Hollywood’s ever seen. That’s all I’m thinking about. You can have your boots and your snow. I’m thinking about her!”
“To hell with all of that stuff. As long as I have my socks and my bubble gum and my poster of the better starlet, Jennifer Redberry, that’s all I need.”

Chanda sent home money every two weeks. In a small village in India, she deposited money into the bank account of her Aunt and Uncle who sent her to live in America. The place seemed so remote, almost cut off from the rest of the country. There, a festival took place where participants hurled cow eliminations at each other. The muddy, mucky sense of it had been known for centuries. Locals tied it to an ancient god who they believed restored people’s health with the cow plops. During the festival, thick patties hurled through the air and smushed into the bodies and faces of those rollicking around in the filth.

They say "jack of all trades, master of none," but they forgot to mention the part where the jack of all trades is also the camera woman, the makeup artist, and the person currently yelling at a tangled Wii microphone cable in a her own bathroom while recording herself singing and trying to make it look realistic and professional. (As professional as you can make it with nothing but a cell phone camera and a mic that doesn't work)
