How My Father Got His Job

My action adventure, Interdiction is sparse on writing and dialogue. It is intended to be mainly an action musical.
However, to make good cartoons, I will have to put my writing hat on. This is my latest comedy which I might make into a cartoon. Or, I might not. Either way, it should be a funny story.
I am releasing this tonight only, for now, for Hallowe'en. Other than that, I will re-release this when I make the cartoon of this.

I thought that I should abandon the artsy cartoons I was making and only make the gritty action movies with the guns and the knives and the violence but the more high brow socialist discriminating movie goer would still say that I am better off to keep on making the artsy movies, the kind without the emphasis on the action and the violence. What about sometimes make the artsy cartoons and sometimes make the Police action cartoons with the drugs, the guns, the violence.

Christmas 2011

"Dad, how did you get your job as manager of the bed and furniture factory?" the son asked the father.

The father answered,

"It was in the Christmas of 1998. I applied for a grant from The Canada Arts Council. I thought at the time that Canada is such a backwater I probably won't get a grant at all. I filled out the application form and much to my surprise, I got a letter for a $20,000 grant based on my art project as I described it and the materials that I needed.
At the time, I was heavily addicted to crack and I also smoked a pack a day. It was not only cigarettes, but pipe tobacco with the sweet flavours such as Cherry, Rum and Maple, and Peaches and Cream which I enjoyed smoking.
It was a film project which I proposed to the Canada Arts Council and it was a film which they granted me $20,000 to make.
But besides going to the store and getting a bag of chips and a bottle of Coke, and sure I went and had a restaurant meal here and there, but I mainly spent the money smoking crack again and again and again and again and again.

Christmas 2001. What was to be a two hour cartoon animation, which is what I promised the Canada Arts Council turned out to be a half hour film mostly of me smoking crack.

The audience was disgusted and the Canada Arts Council representatives sitting in the audience were aghast but someone who ran a circus was in the audience and was interested in hiring me for the circus. I had to come up with an idea for an act.

My idea for an act was to stand on top of a pole, like David Blaine except at the end of it, I would have a deep lung-blast of tobacco through a pipe. If I was still standing after that, it would be a miracle. Of course there would be an apparatus set up to catch me if I fell. Which I invariably did, as I expected to, time and time again.

I fell so much that the furniture company which made the mattresses and the foam pads which I fell on had me sign an endorsement deal in which I would say the name of their company before each act.

Christmas 2004. The circus packed up after five Christmases and that was also when the endorsement deal fell through. However, I was interested in a summer job and that furniture company was a union job which meant that it paid well. I worked there for 25 summers now, being steadily promoted over the years and that is why now, I am the head manager of Summers Bed and Furniture Company."

Harold. One of my great mentors. I met him in 1992 in Prince Rupert. Then we were colleagues as we were desk clerks at the now burned down Inlander Hotel. Infamous junkie to the core. He is a legend in the Pacific Northwest. Me and my cousin Tom. "Dorothy knew that as soon as her father started to talk about his cousin Tom, he retreated to the golden days of his childhood at which point Dorothy knew that any further discussion was impossible." "Her father's first instinct upon any trouble was to write a letter to his cousin Tom, the baronet." paraphrased, A Clergyman's Daughter, George Orwell Bud. My landlord at the G**** Hotel in Vancouver. Me and Bud have known each other since 1994. A well respected gentleman in Vancouver. Lynne, she was my lover for a few years. I told you that I was into older women. Ex-junkie, she now lives clean, off the needle. Giles. This is a great Chinese-Canadian Vancouver visual concept artist whose projects that he was involved in included the films Willard and Mortal Combat. He made this video in 1978: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b8eMU79XJrc All these pictures were taken in March, 2011. I am including this segment because I plan to have my photo taken with famous people and/or beautiful women. Some women would accept $20 to have a photo taken with them. Imagine me being photographed with the most famous celebrities, also the most beautiful waitresses and strippers. Imagine me being photographed with famous politicians. I once got a chance to get photographed with Gordie Howe as he was at a kiosk at a local sports arena and was accepting $20 a photograph. I didn't know where that was. Next time I get a chance to get my photo taken with someone famous, I will post it here. ____________________________________________________________________ My STAR WARS action figures.

Interdiction 2: The Sequel. The story. In prose form.
Interdiction 2 PART 1


The Smoky Dragon tattoo parlour in Bangkok was always full with clients.
Tracy Thorn was there, getting a tattoo on her ankle. A tribal design.
As she was crossing a bridge from one side of the klong to the other, two men were waiting for her. The gang thought that two men was all it would take.
Even at the posh private school which her rich parents sent her to, she got into a lot of fights with other students. Like a star athlete with no training, she was very talented in Mixed Martial Arts. She often went slumming and fought in supervised cage matches for money. She also had a taste for cocaine. Crack cocaine.


Police Detective Ken Hines was at the dojo, performing a set of moves for his students. Ken Hines was Irish with black hair and green eyes. He liked to fight a lot. Fistfights at school. One day, he went to the Hokkaido Crane martial arts academy to learn aikido. That was when his fighting skills went to the next level.



Barry White was serving time in the Sherriff Valley Maximum Security Penitentiary. In the laundry room. He walks to one of the laundry hampers and knowing the area well, having worked here for years, he hides into one of the laundry hampers. Tracy Thorn and the others still free, Lennox Black and Greg Simpson sent him some money and he paid off the laundry supervisor and two guards. In a laundry truck as the truck drove away from the prison into night, red tail lights still visible a distance away.



Tracy Thorn dispatched them with a set of moves, taking the opportunity of the klong that was already there, to throw those attackers into it.


At the ghetto, while an impromptu basketball game was being played, Lennox Black was well immersed in his new North American occupation of being a crack dealer and he was mixing ingredients and chopping up crack rock on the table.


At the Police Academy during a meeting, the Police Team Supervisor briefs a room of cops about Tracy Thorn. "She is an international thief. She targets international arms dealers and illegal jewellry salesmen using the internet. After finding the location of her targets, she alone or sometimes she and a team of four other criminals go after their objectives. Our objective is to take them down."
