2.2














WARNING:
Wrench Boy is not a trained religious icon. He does not
encourage anyone to take anything he says to heart no matter
how socially relevant or spiritually enlightening it may sound.
He refuses to save you. Did you hear that? Refuses.

Save yourself.












Wrench Boy is both the AC and DC of an electrical current. When he walks he spins clockwise and counter-clockwise simultaneously. This is his 'presence'.

Wrench has a bone to pick with Jesus, Buddha, Allah and Jehovah. "Hey Gods, pass THIS class" he says as he hands them the Wrench Boy exam. Spiritual icons of other earthbound faiths are mostly ok in his book.

Mr. Boy is earth, wind, fire and water. This makes him a mess. All muddy and burnt looking, scattered. Thus he tries to be only one of these things at a time:



When he is Earth, he shakes and rumbles... many innocents die and everybody feels smaller.



When Wrench Boy is the Wind, people and other creatures suddenly fear that which surrounds them yet cannot be seen .



When he takes the form of Fire, he rages for days, sometimes weeks, offering a cleansing that is as horrible as it is thorough and final.



When he is Water, he batters the coasts, forcing humanity to reconsider, and redraw, its maps of the world.

Wrench, as his friends call him, once told me he believes there should be only two ways to rate movies. "Forget 'G', 'PG', 'R' and all that," he said, "The ratings should simply be 'S' for 'stupid' and 'W' for 'worth your time'."

Wrench sees a tiny white man at every traffic intersection, telling him when it's safe to cross the street.




Marriage, as an institution, was invented when human beings had a life span of 35 to 40 years. 'Til death to us part' wasn't such a preposterous notion in those days. Today it's simply unrealistic to believe it when you say it. Wrench Boy feels marriage licenses should come with expiration dates of 3-5 years. If two people are still in love with each other at that point, they can joyfully renew their vows. If not, they can each go on their seperate, merry way. No muss, no fuss. This would, naturally (and beautifully), eliminate the need for divorce lawyers and fucked up children.
Wrench is concerned about the judicial system in the United States. Leonard Peltier, a Native American, has been in jail twenty years now for killing an FBI agent, a crime he did NOT commit. Randy Weaver, a white supremacist, was released from jail after less than a year for the very same crime, which he DID commit. Meanwhile, Oliver North has not served one day in jail for any of the crimes that he proudly and tearfully admitted doing. In fact, he was allowed to run for a seat in the U.S. Senate and now makes verbal threats against the current US president on a widely broadcast radio show.




Mr. Boy delivers the good with the bad. Though he frightens or inspires, enlightens or discourages... He's not out to scare elderly people out of their pensions. He does not live for financial gain. So, please...

 

Do NOT send money.
