Little Danny: American Hero

"That's what they're saying down on Capolo Avenue, though I never much cared for the man."

- Reverend Orville Foo, 1:05 p.m. GST

Foo's words were part of a lovely eulogy for the recently-slain former back hair model Daniel "Little Danny" Farfel, who passed Wednesday morning as part of the Farfel-Pepano War of 1936.

Little Danny grew up on Piso Street, "slinging stones for paper" (as the song says) and dreaming of a career in Snow Business. When he realized he lived in a place where the temperature rarely got below 75 degrees, he made plans to move over there. But over there had burned down during a Mejito Fire, so in 1983 Little Danny did what many Farfels had done before him: marry a hard-boiled egg.

The couple divorced in the fall of 1986 after an argument over yolk, Little Danny had to pay Shellimony and it nearly left him bankrupt.

All seemed Lonnie Torkelson, but this past summer the 73-year old had seemed to turn his life around. He was exercising in his bathtub again, he was eating three square horse ears a day, and he was finally in Snow Business.

And at around 11:00 a.m. GST, Farfel was killed by Boo Boo Pepano.
