Happy Face Mental Ward - Seventeen days into Clark Jines' camp out for
Star Wars II tickets, Jines noticed a second line forming four feet away.
"I was curious at first but did not think much of it." "The
first week in line was easy." said Jines, "I had stored up on
food and soda and was ready for the long haul." Into his second week
he experienced hallucinations and stints of unconsciousness. During this
period he was unconcerned that his "Camp Star Wars" had only
been joined by one other person. Unable to talk due to severe dehydration,
he did not communicate with his fellow camper nor the parallel line steadily
growing beside him.
Day 35, while being urinated on by a homeless man, Jines heard a mutter
about Hugh Grant from his line mate. "You must love him as much as
I do" she said. Jines managed to prop himself up upon a pile of his
own excrement to glance at the box office window where it read in very
small letters "About a Boy". Jines, who no longer had enough
body fluids to cry, attempted to roll over to the newly discovered Star
Wars II line. Jines was discovered 3 days later in a dumpster behind a
Taco Bell severely beaten.
Jines now
communicates through the help of computer devices installed to his iron
lung. "They tell me that this machine should be mobile just in time
for Episode III." Jines tells us, "That Yoda really kicks some
ass!"
