Last weekend right before a heavy rain struck, I was out packing-up my stuff for our move in our detached cabana.
To make some room whilst I filled-up boxes, I placed two plastic containers outside — one containing things I had written in the 70’s and 80’s; the other containing all of my 1970’s issues of CREEM Magazine.
At one point, I had to go inside our house, got distracted by filling out forms for our new mortgage, and never went back to my outdoor chores.
Their should have been no problem because I left the two containers firmly shut.
However, I didn’t count on The Red Chinese Can Collector Menace!
One of those Commie Spy Bastards entered our property during the rain and heavy wind and looked in the containers for cans, but failed to properly reseal the one with the CREEM Magazines inside of it.
The next day, I discovered that they were fully soaked in water and beyond rescue.
Boy Howdy, I’m Mad and Distraught!
I had to throw what was left of them away…and I did so with a tear in my Rock ‘N’ Roll Eyes.
Here are some of the issues destroyed by The Red Chinese Can Collector Menace…
I vow to take on this Menace full-bore! Damn the RED MENACE! It reaches E-V-E-R-Y-W-H-E-R-E.
