Fish & Whistle

Fish & Whistle, April 12th, 2026

It’s another beautiful sunny afternoon in Los Angeles. The Powder Blue Tuxedo Boys, Patrick and Timothy, are in their usual booth drinking Beck’s Beers. “Fish &. Whistle” is playing on the jukebox.

Timothy: So, nobody has called us for over a month for a job.

Patrick: That’s right. I guess we aren’t in demand.

Eddie walks over with another bucket of Beck’s Beers on ice.

Eddie: You guys have retired, eh?

Patrick: Looks like it. Maybe we’ve gotten too old to hire.

Timothy: It’s age discrimination is what it is. Damn shame.

Eddie: Retirement isn’t so bad. You can go to the beach, the museums, and enjoy the sights of LA.

Patrick: Yeah. We can get year-round passes at Disneyland and check out the crowds.

Timothy: Those kids at Disneyland are irritating. A bunch of spoiled brats if you ask me.

Eddie: I heard the last time you were there, you threw some kids off of the spinning tea cup ride.

Patrick: That was an accident. We had the teacup spinning like a top, and the centrifugal force threw the kids out.

Timothy: I told them to hang on tight to the table. They just don’t listen.

Eddie: I heard you guys threw twenty-dollar bills into the moat around Cinderella’s Castle, causing a riot as people dove into the water to get the money.

Patrick: It was a “Magic Christian” experiment.

Timothy: We wanted to see if the “Free Money” scene in the movie could happen.

Patrick: And it did.

Eddie: The cops had to come into the park in riot gear to stop it all.

Patrick: That was fun to watch.

Timothy: Oh, those were the days.

Patrick and Timothy clink beer bottles and smile.
