p. 290 Look up possible slang resonances of El Huevoncito on the wiki...
any other verbal associations NOT on the wiki? Anything else re Northern, Southern California turf wars you Californians and Cal ex-pats know?
So, to get in the gang Glen had to kill someone, which he could not do. A schlemiel at that...............
p. 291 so, he outsources thru Tariq, shank artist. Tariq took a whole lot of caution for white prisoner fuck-up to even approach. Turns out Tariq wants
payment in firearms, and Glen just happens to have a lot of connections outside. For a scared minute, Glen thinks the arms are for INSIDE.
Scene does not work for me. Wooden, inclu characters here. Glen is a tough guy fuck-up???? with connections? Tariq is a shank artist who apologizes to Doc???? Unwitty, not parodic enough yet not believable as written......yawning---even Homer nods, etc.---connective scene to get to the point---which is WHAMBAM, yes?
