My friends, they come in waves- 100 a year or more, whole armies of them. Act Three- The Green Team of Superhero Boy Millionaires, the Amazing Super Monkey From Planet Krypton, and the Man From Sram. Today's program- superpowers and how easy it is to get caught up in the dream of superpowers. Each week on our program, of course, we choose a theme, bring you a variety of different kinds of stories on that theme. That's in a minute from Chicago Public Radio when our program continues. Coming up, exactly what Superman knows that jigsaw man does not. Noted Billie Holiday imitator David Sedaris. And I had not felt so much joy, probably ever. That was a good answer to them.Īt the time, when I was going through the process, it felt like everything was coming together. And I would get out of the car and draw the attention to myself and try to appease them in some way, either by giving them money, more likely, but- and that was an acceptable answer to them. So what I said was that I would tell my agent to get down lower in the car. What do you do in that situation? You don't want to draw attention to the person who's with you. And they get upset, and they rush towards the car. So what would you do in this situation? If you were driving down the road and you had one of your native agents with you, someone who's going to give you some information, and you were in a third-world country somewhere, and you were driving a car, and you accidentally ran into a dog? And people have been out playing in the street, children in the street, they see their dog get killed. They threw a question out in the middle of an interview.

And in these dreams, it gives her superpowers.Īfter that, then they sent investigators out to interview me, interview my neighbors, interview ex-boyfriends, interview friends, ex-friends, former colleagues, people I work with, people I used to work with. Turns out the tattoo is a magic globe she holds in her dreams. And when they hear her answer, they sometimes propose marriage. One is this big circle with blue and white swirls in it, kind of like a bowling ball on her left shoulder. Her get-up is the same as before- teased hair, jewelry, and the ubiquitous tank dress- which, I realize, is the best way to show off her tattoos. In Vegas, we skip the casinos and head straight for the male strip clubs where Zora drops at least $200 on lap dances from buff guys with names like Roman. Within a week, she takes me to Las Vegas.

She tells me she's an international private investigator, a bounty hunter, and a bail bonds enforcer, and that her name is Zora. Before I can say no, I'm following her to my seat. Her eyes light up, and she shoots out a long, tanned arm and points at a table in the corner. She stands next to me to order a drink and in this throaty voice says, what are those? Pointing to my cigarettes. People at the bar swivel their heads to watch her every move. She's six feet tall and showing a lot of leg. Not long into the first one, I noticed this Amazon of a woman with huge blond and red-streaked hair and frosty lips, wearing a short, red tank dress and at least 50 bracelets. I'd just moved back from Cambodia, and I was going out for one of my first beers back in the States.
