The Adventures of Tiny and Little Dik-dik
Episode 1: Roid RageTiny, that harmless milquetoast of a man, noticed he wasn't so tiny anymore. It was puzzling because he couldn't remember doing anything to make himself get so "swole." He never lifted weights. He'd been eating his usual diet of roasted meats and sausages and cheese, and the only new delicacy that he'd been enjoying was a delicious frosty chocolate milk shake that his sidekick, Dik-dik, made for him each night after dinner.
What was more troubling, Tiny found himself awash in strange, new powerful emotions. For instance, instead of being mildly upset when his electicity bill was $150.00 instead of the usual $110.00, Tiny launched into an epic temper tantrum in which he virutally destroyed the whole apartment. He tore the doors off the entertainment center and sent them crashing through the living room drywall. He broke all the remote controls in half, then he broke his cell phone in half. He kicked over the coffee table and swung the lamp around like a baseball bat, and then took a big stack of plates from the pantry and threw them out the window at his neighbor who was out walking his dog. Luckily he didn't hurt anyone, and it was fortuitous that Little Dik-dik was out getting his weekly pedicure.
The strange thing was, when Tiny finally calmed down, he noticed that he actually wasn't that mad about it, and that it was perfectly reasonable during the summer months to have a larger electricity bill. It seemed that something was really wrong, but his enormous swollen oversized cranium was making it harder and harder for him to figure these kinds of things out.
A few minutes later, Little Dik-dik came in, carrying a potted plant and the day's newspaper. He trotted over, dropped the plant and paper that he was carrying in a sack with his mouth, and looked at Tiny. He then said, "Hey, Tiny - I'm not making anymore milkshakes for you... My friend Lippy said that he would show me a magic ingredient that would work wonders for you, so I agreed - he suggested that I put this ingredient into a milkshake for you. But you liked it so much, I kept making them every night for the last month. I ran out of the magic ingredient yesterday, and went by Lippy's today for some more and he told me I shouldn't have been giving you so much, and that he wan't giving me any more. I asked him what it was and he said it was..."
"Cocaine."
