's message, "Rabid and KS take Kande down" on 07:08:42 03/11/04 Thu
The Mayor pounds with a gavel on the podium. She has changed from her usual sexy clothing to a soft cloudy-blue sweater set, gray tweed slacks, sensible heels and a pair of glasses on a chain around her neck. Her hair is loose and flowing down her back and she has on long, sparkly earrings. Realizing that everyone is staring at her, she tosses her hair.
"This is my anger management therapist look," she informs them loftily as she takes her seat. "Like it?"
"Yes," everyone replies sullenly. No one is happy about being in anger management classes, but the Mayor had threatened to fine anyone who tried to back out.
"That's more like it," she beams at them. "Now, how can you tell if you're starting to get angry?"
Rabid shoots up her hand. KS immediately copies her. Not to be outdone, Kande copies the two of them too. KS scowls at her and jabs her in the ribs. Kande jabs back. While they're having their jabbing contest, Rabid wriggles in her seat.
"Me! Me! Me! I know!"
The Mayor shoots the Kande sisters a disapproving frown. She points to Rabid. "Yes?"
"I tear up the patron's library card into tiny bits for overdue books!"
The Mayor looks uncertain. "Er...yes...but what I meant was, how do you PHYSICALLY know when you're getting angry?"
"I kill somebody!" KS shouts out her answer.
"I fire them!" Kande also shouts, almost drowning out KS's answer. They glare at each other and across the room, Bubba glares at Kande. What exactly is she trying to imply, he wonders to himself. He vows to spit into her rootbeer glass at the break. At least, he assumes there will be a break. He's already hungry. He looks around and picks a spider off its web from under the next chair and eats it.
The Mayor clenches her fists. A slow flush of red is creeping up her neck and it's all she can do not to bang her clipboard on the Kande sisters' heads.
Next to Kande, CW rolls her eyes. "She means, do you know you're angry because you're clenching your teeth, flushing, making your hands into fists, etc. That kind of thing."
Everyone turns and looks at the Mayor. She is beet-red, there's a knot in her jaw from her clenched teeth, and she's bent the clipboard between her fists.
