You're so pretty, they should put your head in a box.

JRoyale
Johnny ROYALE, however, is the King of the High Rollers! He's Elvis,
Dean Martin, Dennis Farina and Joe Pesce all wrapped up into one! He
drinks top shelf liquor and pays rock-bottom prices. He brunches in
Atlantic City, does cocktail hour in Beverly Hills and then jets to
the other coast to prowl the streets of Manhattan after midnight. He
can mix a Perl-Java Web site with one hand and a pearl-onion gimlet
with the other and still not break a sweat.
If there's just one thing I know in this mixed-up, crazy world, Mister
Turkish for Bent or Curved, it's that if there's an UNHOLY PLOT going
on somewhere, JOHNNY ROYALE is the man behind it.

Three Days and 25 Spocktails: A Cautionary Tale

Johnnie Royale's Guide to Wakes
Wakes can present problems for Bad People of the Future. (If you don't know what a BPotF is, you need to read more of the PDJ.) Sure, your friend is gone and you miss him and that really sucks; it does, I know. But all Bad People of the Future are gonna die, and they have all accepted that fact. They do deserve, however, to have one final kickass party to celebrate all the bad things they've done in the past, present and future. And you, as a friend, have to make sure that their desire for a final send off is well executed (sorry for the pun). That's just the way of BPotFdom. (More...)
