Freakshow


It's hard being Jim. I can't make this up, so I'll just tell it like it is. We found Jim at the Seven-Eleven near the shop. While he repeatedly won "Employee of the Month" acolades from the owners, he still wasn't content. He said was interested in climbing towers for a living, so we rescued him from a life of having to sell nudy mags and week-old hot dogs to degenerates. His biggest pet peeve about working at Seven-Eleven was those people who buy scratch-off lottery tickets, then stand at the counter with people waiting behind them, scratching off squares until they get a winner, then slowly picking out more tickets until they've wasted everything they came in with.
Jim has a really cool black lab named Suzy. Suzy's one of the best-behaved dogs I've ever met, but a little neurotic.
On weekends, Jim can usually be found meeting with friends and working on his book detailing the uncanny parallels between Dr. Suess's books and real life.
Jim is the proverbial nonconformist. If the sign says his destination is east, he goes west, just to show he can get there by going that way. He's also fond of Scottish music and wearing men's underwear.
