They met between shows over bitter coffee, confided their impressions the way girls will, and the way girls...
...only place he can keep his body heat down. In comes one of his hoods to report a botched heist. Augie pulls a wicked knife, slams the hood against a meathook, and threatens to make him look like a slab of Grade A Prime. A woman in pink slacks, straw hat and cowboy boots interrupts.
