<p class="MsoNormal">My names Archie Venchenzo.I’m a New York Cabbie for the New York City Yellow Cab Company.I work here and this my city.You see lots of weird junk driving this heap,day in and day out.You won’t believe the jokers I get in the back seat.Last,it was some guy wearing a collider,with pigean wings glue it.He was carrying a sawed off sledgehammer,with duck tape wrapped around and said he’s smite the evil giants,created the aliens eons ago,when hung with those Asguardians.He said his secret indenity was Tom Gooseski,but in reality he was the Mighty Thor,come here to stop the greys from secretly invading the earth.Then there was this Mike Yankowick,telling he was a CIA agent,out stop the Societs-rather the Russian Mob,wanting to containinate our water supplies by urinating in them,with deseased piss.And there was Abner Jeramiah Leelam Jones,claiming he was Gods New Age Prophet,out to save from those godless people he personally didn’t like-the like Rebublicans,the Democrates,the Green Party,the Cathlics,Christians,Jews,blacks, Rosicrucian's, and everyone else,that  wasn’t himself.All he across town laugh like Ceasar Romaro,who played the Joker,in old Adam West Batman series.And me,just thinking ‘’Bhattuh man’’,all the up town.And was some calling himself Paullie Torsee,who had this to market his dumpster found toothbrushes,to a fortune five hundred Paullie Torsee Teethbrush Company.Of all the guys,he was the most sane.He even beat the guy,this night infact, in a green shirt,three piece suite,going on and on,how he counted coffee cups in the Apollo Café,from dusk to dawn and back again.This guy on and on,if he just on ground floor of something that,who money he make,than his current Accuntant job.And George Patrickson,the Reesus Makack looking insurance salesman,after him ,dressed a stubted version of Hunter S.Thompson,writing his great American novel Glory Holes are Forever,followed by Glory Holes Strikes Back, Glory Holes Revenge.Seems,he three novels planned –The Glory Hole Trillogy,he called it,written before sold the first one.He went saying,’’I’m writing crap like Jack Kerowack or that guy that drew the Nancy comic.No,this great art.Sounded me,more another fairy pants,writing 567 pages of total crap.Followed by 599 pages more crap and 967 pages even more crap.

<p class="MsoNormal">Yeah,your wondering,why do know there names?I do rule number one,I talk to costumers and break rule number two,I argue with them.Call my bad habit gained by having to deal with idiots during the war.And doing,they often give to much imformation like name,rank and what the hell they are doing with their live.I know what you thinking,maybe I should just shut the hell up,smile and drive to their location.That or start running a game show in my cab.Either I win.But I’m idiot.I don’t when to shut up.Maybe I need to get into a new line of work.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:#E5E3DF">Well,Christ oh mighty.I was justing about calling it a night.6.am was genual  checkin out time anyway.Enough all guys I mensioned above.Call into Louie and go home to see my wife Christina and son Tony.The  old cab,she was limping down West 57TH Street,headin toward the cab garage, at<span style="font-size:10pt;line-height:115%;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;"> <span style="font-size:10pt;line-height:115%;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;">371 7th Avenue.Once getting through all crap with Louie,I could call a day and head over to my home <span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#444444; background:white"> over in Hell’s Kitchen.The Yuppie retards call it Clinton and Midtown West Manhatten,but old timers still it Hell’s Kitchen,because it was being trapped in a Kitchen in Hell. <span style="font-size:10pt;line-height:115%;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;"> Davy Crockett,King of the Wild Frontier once,we was told as kids said, "In my part of the country, when you meet an Irishman, you find a first-rate gentleman; but these are worse than savages; they are too mean to swab hell's kitchen." He was referring to the Five Points.Well,nobody,was going argue with Fess Parker,anyway. <span style="font-size:10pt;line-height:115%;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;">

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;line-height:115%;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;">No one can pin down the exact origin of that label, but some refer to a <span style="font-size:10pt;line-height:115%;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(11,0,128);background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;">tenement<span style="font-size:10pt;line-height:115%;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;">  <span style="font-size:10pt;line-height:115%;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;">on  <span style="font-size:10pt;line-height:115%;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(11,0,128);background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;">54th Street<span style="font-size:10pt;line-height:115%;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;">  <span style="font-size:10pt;line-height:115%;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;">as the first "Hell's Kitchen." Another explanation,I heard in high school points to an infamous building at 39th as the true original.That what old buddy Joey Simone told me and everybody anyway.His father Joseph Simone,Senior told that anyway. His old man,it told also ran local gang ,who hung out local dive took the name as well.The Hell’s Kitchen Irregulars or something.Me and joey Simone,we hung them too,when were older,before the Great War.Anyway,the name points to a similar slum also existed in London and was known as Hell's Kitchen.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;line-height:115%;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;">I was just turning about 7th Street,when happened.I heard before saw it.Or rather,heard in my head,like telepathic guys on Star Trek.You the Vulcans.Or that guy in Star Wars Old Ben Kenobi.I probably thought of because there was a Big Star Trekkie Convention in town,

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;line-height:115%;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;">‘’Taxi.’’it said.I shuddered.Old Joey Simone,who also works as a cabbie,told me there be days like this.The mysterious figure moved slowly out a billowing cloud of fog-fog on a night,none of the weather geniuses on the local news,predicted fog.Weather genius-more weather guessers.But anyway,whether those weather good guys were right or wronge,any stage magician could perform those kinds a tricks.Any acehole,that those silly movies,FX or the Fall Guy,with Bionic Man fella,would think you set up stunts and tricks anywhere,anytime.Well,we were in the Theator District and I heard half a dozen blowhard actors,might just set up,those kinds of stunts,while exiting the back stage door,just to avoid being mobbed by the Popperazzi-those jerks,who chase has been and nobony celebrities about town hoping to catch doing all sorts of obscene things,like guy last year romacing his car,before the cops could him.Yeah,really.I saw this guy…I think his name was David Chaykinov-actor,singer,artist and writer,screwing a Studallac,in a Big Sylvestor the Cat suite,last Holloween,after way too much to drink.

<p class="MsoNormal">I pulled over to the curb,seeing no studallac present.The back swung open and I could somebody in rear view mirror enter the back of my hack.

<p class="MsoNormal">‘’OK.where to Mack ?’’

<p class="MsoNormal">‘’The United Nations Building and as quick as you can make it.please.

<p class="MsoNormal">‘’Ok.pal..where ever you say.

<p class="MsoNormal">‘’So,you can’t an actor or magician.I know this areas full
