         THE FEIGNED NON-POISONOUS GENTLEMANLIKE HERESY GAMESHOW

                              CHAPTER FOUR


    At this time,  he noticed the  weird alien  following him through
    the maze. Trillian told him not to worry. 'It's just one of those
    nice and friendly ones' she said. Zaphod seemed to take the whole
    trip to Bezelbub Interstellar Junction lightly as he continued to
    sleep,  snoring heavily.  Ford held his towel a bit tighter as he
    slipped down a three-inch Babelfish down his throat for lunch.


                                   -*-


    What? This ISN'T 'The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy Part IV' ?
    Oh,  sorry about that.  I'll  make it up  to  you by  writing yet
    another inspiring full-framed vicious chapter right here.


    Megan woke up,  quite dizzy.  She  thought it  had to do with the
    night before,  but  it didn't.  Spingleman had slipped her one of
    his new inventions;  The  'Get Drunk,  and Stay Drunk the morning
    after' (GDSD) pill, but she didn't know anything about it. 'Water
    ..water' she managed to whisper,  and Spingleman made a sign to a
    man  standing in  the far corner of the room.  He went out of the
    room.


                                   -*-


    WHAT?! What are you complaining about?.. Say that again? It isn't
    'The BIG System 3' either? Then WHAT IS IT?! 'Castle Chronicles'?
    Right! I'm a bit out of touch today y'see.. Hit it!



    "Ouch!"

    Castle woke up. Instantly feeling he didn't like it.  A big table
    covered his body and when he lifted the sink that had smashed his
    head into  pieces  he noticed the  small dog chewing  on his left
    shoe  (which was, amazingly enough, still there).  'Boy, are they
    serious with this gang war stuff or what?' he thought as he tried
    to move his thumb. It hurt.

    The Mercedes just stood there.  Burning.  A couple of police-cars
    drove  by in a  frenzy and  the air was filled with..  with.. Hmm,
    Castle couldn't make  out what it was.  He had  smelled it before,
    but couldn't quite place it. Was it the Semi-Half Naked Woman? No,
    she had that excellent 'take me' scent.  It couldn't be Steinberg
    or Brown because they weren't there. Weren't there?

    "Hey!  Hello!  Miss?"  Castle tried to reach the  Semi-Half Naked
    Woman, but failed instantly trying to move his little finger.

    "Well, if it isn't Mr Rock-N-Roll De-Tec-Tive." Someone said to
    the left.

    "No, it isn't stupid" Another voice said to the right. "It's just
    that dumb Steve Castle. Mr No-Bra-In De-Tec-Tive. Heheheheheh.."

    That was enough! Castle could take much, but abuse? NO WAY!

    With a crumble he was on his feet.  Facing two  amazingly large..
    gentlemen  on motorcycles.  He  KNEW he  wasn't in a  position to
    complain or make them take back what they'd said when one of them
    reached inside his overcoat and pulled out..

    "Wanna take part in a most excellent gameshow, dude?" One of them
    said offering Castle the envelope he had pulled out of his pocket.

    "It isn't STUDS or anything, but it sure is fun."

    Castle hesitated. Then he reached for the envelope and opened it.

    'SHNW  &  D  Gameshows Inc.  invites you to join a most excellent
     show where you'll  be  able to win  PRICES!  Yes, we offer you a
     Complete  TV-Set,  bedroom furniture,  aaand a trip to wonderful
     Sibiria, tell him more about it Jim! Ok, Mike.  We'll fly you to
     to the most luxurious place on earth with BLAH Air. You'll spend
     a weekend ...'

    He skipped that section and found  a small note at the end of the
    paper that said: 'Rules: Participants must be detectives or Semi-
    Half Naked Women'. Hmm.. how strange, he thought, but that didn't
    matter.  He'd never participated in a gameshow,  and this was his
    chance to get some of those nifty bathroom carpets.

    "Okay I'll do it." he said, and the two large men looked at each-
    other and smiled.

    "But I have to bring my..friend here.." he continued bending over
    to reach the Semi-Half Naked Woman.

    "Sure, that's exactly what we want you to, too." the gentleman to
    the right said. "Just hop up here, and we'll take the both of you
    to the studio right away."

    As they drove away, someone lurking beneath the street whispered..

    "Hello Hellooo..  he's going to pay!  With his balls!"  He Turned
    and  headed  straight  for the  tunnel that  lead to the SHNW & D
    Studios up Johnson Avenue. "He will pay dearly.."


                                   -*-


    Mike Whitesmile,  the  gameshow  host found himself doing what he
    enjoyed most. Hosting a gameshow.

    "Rrrright, ladies and gentlemen. We're back, and what's that? Yes,
    we  have two  new contestants for you.  One found beneath a large
    table  on  Johnson Avenue and the other just next to him.  Please
    let's go and meet these two, come on.." <clap clap clap..>

    "You're the detective,  right?"  Mike said to the Semi-Half Naked
    Woman. "Hahah, sorry that was a joke."

    <pre-recorded public: aaaah>

    "No,  seriously,  let me guess here..  you must be the  Semi-Half
    Naked  (and veeerrry sexy too)  Woman if I'm not  completely from
    another planet!

    <public: ha ha ha, clap clap, whistle whistle whistle>

    Ok Ok... fankyou fankyou,  that's enough jokes for now! Then this
    one here.." he said pointing at Castle, "must be the De-Tec-Tive.
    Would you like to say something about yourselves?"

    "No FANKS", Castle answered him with a smirk on his face.

    "Well, if it isn't a humorous de-tec-tive.." Mike said to the non-
    existant studio public. <public: hah hah hah, clap clap>.

    "Like Ok.  When I was about three years old,  right,  my mom took
    me to this place,  y'know, called, ok, like, the Supermarket, and
    like, wow, they had so many, like different chewing-gums, y'know,
    and right by the chewing-gum shelf,  thirteen years later, I met,
    like,  a big hunk who grabbed my, as you can see, big breasts and
    just took  me  from  behind before we,  y'see,  went to this shoe
    store, and.."

    "Heheh.. well, I hear YOU have a lot to talk about," Mike said to
    to the public.  <public: ha hah haaaa>  "But let's go on with the
    show! Right after these messages.. Staaaay Rrrright There!"

    <Now, Your clothes can be THIS clean too...>

    <New NKOTB Watch, Cup, T-Shirt, Bathroom-spray, Instant coffee,
     sweat-spray, pen-holder, non-slippable-banana-peel, genuine
     metal copies of their teeth. All-In-One available now...> etc.

    Castle looked at the Semi-Half Naked Woman.
    Mike looked at himself in the mirror.

    "Did you say 'Shoe Store'??" Castle asked her.

    "Why, sure. Like, I think so anyway.."

    "DO YOU HAVE THE SLIGHTEST...."

    "AAaaand,  We're Back!"  <public: clap clap clap,  whistle>. "I'm
    Mike (like you didn't know that! Hah hah)"  <public: Who's Mike?>
    "and, we're here with our two new contestants.  They are going to
    meet our last  week's  champions...  Frank Fontana  and  Isabella
    Rosselini!"

    <public: clap clap clap clap cla..>

    "Fooled ya! hah hah hah" <public: aaahh> "No, seriously folks, we
    have here,  the piece of meat,  the king stud of studs, the word-
    mongler  of  crosswords,  the  king-o of  lingo,  the crackpot of
    jackpot.. and  the  hunk that made it  with  this Semi-Half Naked
    Woman at the Chewing-gum shelf seven years ago..."

    <drumroll>

    "Yes,  None other than The....  Mysterious man who dissapeared in
    the SHOE STORE!!"
