as Botticelli slivered in and out of the borderline of sleep in his unusual body position -- with the mesmerizing melody of cicadas and crickets -- his cell phone on his table lit up in the darkness and quietly sang:
'you've got mail'
on the screen it said:
'dude, still in california -- will call u later, signed -'
back in california -- leonardo sat in his van and finished the sms he was working on by signing it simply:
'da'
--- his middle name, as it were........
next to him, michelangelo was really upset... the two had continued on their trip with Miller and their mead until they learnt of a desert off-road racing meet in the lucerne valley farther back closer to La (Los Angeles - not Louisiana) and decided to go back to check it out.......
while Leonardo left Michelangelo for a while to look at the different race cars and trucks and talk to sundry people at the event --- in his usual Da way -- with a view to milking information (about whatever topic) from people --- Michelangelo got busy with his own moves.... he had decided, as a joke, to gag and tie up Miller to the underside of one of the racing trucks --- to do this humanely --- he buffered Miller's back with a foam yoga mat and somehow already had a supply of art-design foam as used by the production design people in the movies to create any kind of size/shape lifelike looking object --- only to his foam, Michelangelo added a soft resin compound so that it would not dry hard so as to protect Miller's back and bones for when the truck was to land hard from an airborne manoeuvre....
as the piece-de-resistance Michelangelo added a gag to Miller's mouth to subdue his screams and produced a syringe and injected him with a liquid form of his beloved magic mushrooms.... Michelangelo laughed a sick laughter, for he was truly a very sick man, as his later artwork testified, including his totally sick, 'David' statue and fresco paintings from the Vatican with totally sick and gnarly images from hell.... as Michelangelo finished up and did his sick laugh, he heard footsteps and talk approaching and quickly hid behind some desert scrub and flora and such and watched as a driver entered the high cabin of the trip whereunder Miller was all tied up facing the ground with some 2 feet of distance between his nose and the ground and excellent cushion-y back support which would be sure to protect him, as Michelangelo was a genius and a humane person and didn't want to cause physical harm to Miller -- only to aggresively challenge his psyche.
Meantime Leonardo was out talking to people including driver's --- 'come and meet this guy, da,' said one happy californian to Leonardo and introduced him to one of the drivers -- 'this is Brett Sloppy, da!' (for Leonardo was going by his middle name, 'da' now)....
'Bred Sloppy, pleased to meet you,' said Leonardo --- unfortunately -- Leonardo had some kind of speech impediment when speaking English and very often pronounced his 't' sounds as 'd's -- so that many words like waiting invariably became 'wading' and Brett became Bred.........
Michelangelo came up to Leonardo from behind and said to him, 'dude, let's go, i want to show you something.'
'ok, later da,' said Mr. Sloppy as Leonardo left off with Michelangelo --- Michelangelo was no longer wearing his Michelangelo shirt as as soon as he had found out he was wearing it -- he had taken it off -- it didn't help that Leonardo said that the writing on it was activated by some device when the fibres in the cloth made contact with sperm it triggered the hidden fabric forming the letters and prints to become visible forever on in after that point...... in fact, Michelangelo was wearing a Miller beer shirt -- all black and emblazoned with the yellow Miller logo with its large M.
'Dude i want to show you where i want to watch this race start -- it's gonna start soon,' said Michelangelo.
'aight but let me get a veggie dog first,' responded Leonardo who was a famous vegetarian.
Michelangelo didn't give a farthing or even a tuppence for vegetarianism and got a regular dog with mustard and an energy drink called 'Nutz'.
Laden with food and drink, the two renaissance artists found an embankment or drift of sand as recommended by Michelangelo and the two began to watch in earnest as the trucks began their dangerous circuits --- Leonardo paid close attention to Mr. Sloppy's truck - perhaps the driver's mysterious name had a mystifying effect on Leonardo..... Michelangelo in turn held his i-Phone in his hand and watched it occasionally and listened to an audio-feed from it to his ear as it broadcast images of Miller being shot in night-vision and screaming as he tripped on mushrooms and flew in the air with each launch and land of his truck
