actually  liking country music<\/p>\n<p>having milked paddy whelan&#8217;s dry of drinks &amp; debauches, siggimus            &amp; his loyalest subjects, danish jeppes &amp; russian-latvian felikss            take their considerable businesses elsewhere. felikss leads the way            for some 20 mins only to find the preferred establishment of choice            uninvitingly closed<\/p>\n<p>gang marches over to aleksandra caka iela (pron. chaka) which is, for those  of you ignorant of it, the place to go to shopping for various merchandises that  are generally unavailable in most conventional shops, as trading in these  selfsame merchandises is ever so slightly contrary to the law<\/p>\n<p>strutting past the variousest of kasinos, siggimus said, with typical  siggimus nonchalance &#8216;been there, done that&#8217; causing small gasps of awe &amp;  glints of admiration to pop forth in the eyes of his admirers<\/p>\n<p>the smallish parade ends up gracing aligators rokenrolu klubs with its  glorious presence<\/p>\n<p>aligators rokenrolu klubs was in dire need of precisely such gracing<\/p>\n<p>while the literature siggimus shamelessly purloined from a napkin stand  promised striptease shows on fri. &amp; sat. nights, siggimus &amp; co. had to  settle for &#8216;katru nakti dejojam rokenrolu,&#8217; or every night rokenrolu dancing up  the walls to popular music from 1960 to 1990 from 21-05. so they settled<\/p>\n<p>discussions ranged from speculations on the images of elvis &amp; marilyn  bedecking the walls, to plots to establish a smallish guerilla army to overthrow  the corrupt latvian government in a bloody manner. stay tuned<\/p>\n<p>when the 7 or so strangely less than enthusiastic clients had danced  rokenrolu to popular music from 1960 to 1990 to their hearts content for a bit,  the old bag behind the bar sends the younger &amp; considerably sprightlier  sidekickess to clean the tablecloth&#8217;d tables, gesturing in all sorts of ways to  indicate that we are on the very brink of outstaying our welcome as she removes  a glamourous bowl who used to hold chipsi that were stubbornly flavoured with  dill &amp; not paprika<\/p>\n<p>latvians are fond of dill<\/p>\n<p>considerably<\/p>\n<p>outside, siggimus &amp; co. say their farewells, do the secret handshake  &amp; disappear into the night<\/p>\n<h3>morning after<\/h3>\n<p>at approx. 10 am, siggimus awakens from his slumber to a gentle breeze on the  back of his neck. a considerable number of pleasant sensations give way to panic  stricken terror as he realises he is also experiencing a slightly sinking  sensation<\/p>\n<p>deviously disguised as a gentle breeze, it was in fact siggimus&#8217; blood,  sweat, &amp; tears taking leave of the siggimus inflated mattress unlawfully  &amp; without any permission whatsoever<\/p>\n<p>the familiarity is startling as the siggimus finds himself on the floor, the  mattress hugging him in an act of unexpected, &amp; quite frankly touching,  kindness<\/p>\n<p>siggimus is contemplating whether this was yet another cowardly terrorist  attack by the cia on the state of siggimus, or whether a supremer being (hardly  the cia, though) might be sending him a message, rendering him unto the floor or  a similarly hard surface for what seems to be the third time in two months<\/p>\n<p>anyways, this will in all probability offer a welcome chance to put the  &#8216;3-days-on-a-hard-floor theory&#8217; to yet another test<\/p>\n<h2>the new siggimus hobby<\/h2>\n<p>in a now almost common fit of i.j., siggimus accidentally got on the 208  taksobuss, when heading from plavnieki to pulkvedis one night, to see his great  friends &amp; superstars mary jane shake their booty<\/p>\n<p>with a tinge of despair, siggimus notices this particular taksobuss deviates  from the normal route siggimus has come to know &amp; love. imagine his pleasant  surprise when he realises that this taksobuss traverses the length of infamous  caka iela (still pron. chaka)<\/p>\n<p>siggimus curses mildly when he realises that he doesn&#8217;t have his camera on  his person. nor is it in the siggimus backpack. &#8216;shoot! this is practically a  waste of a fit of i.j.&#8217; he thinks to himself<\/p>\n<p>nevertheless, siggimus carefully wipes the fog off the inside of the window  &amp; peers out, looking for prohibited fruit<\/p>\n<p>&amp; lo &amp; behold! for the first time since in riga, a place where a  friend exclaimed, tearing his hair at the same time; &#8216;how do you know which ones  are prostitutes when they all dress like that??!?&#8217; then he tore his hair a bit  more. some of it came off, actually<\/p>\n<p>siggimus digresses<\/p>\n<p>&amp; lo &amp; behold! siggimus&#8217; first prostitute!<\/p>\n<p>standing on a street corner, cute &amp; doleful, looking like the only thing  she wants is to have mad, passionless &amp; impersonal intimate relations with  none other than, siggimus hopes you guessed it, siggimus<\/p>\n<p>actually siggimus felt a wee bit bad for not being able to oblige the poor  wench, but the siggimus budget does not allow for such spurious obliging of poor  wenches&#8217; desires, plus he had a pressing appointment to attend to, &amp; as if  this wasn&#8217;t already enough &amp; plenty, by this time, the light turned green  again &amp; the buss goes off, leaving the defenseless creature to yearn for  siggimus, standing there on legs that somehow manage to reach all the way from  her high heels to her extremely short skirt<\/p>\n<p>siggimus&#8217;
