BEANIE’S GUIDE TO GANGSTERS 1

BEANIE’S GUIDE TO GANGSTERS 

“Hi I’m Beanie and recently I’ve come to know a few gangsters. I don’t know much about them but I’ve heard a few things and this is my guide to Gangsters.”

 


MR NITE ecently Giles and I ran in to Mr Nite. He is the head honcho moncho of the gangsters in Sunset Cove. Giles told me we should do everything we could to be nice to Mr Nite because he was a man in high places – but I didn’t think he was that tall.

Mr Nite who owns the casino won the school from Ms Profusion. I’m not sure why he would want the school but it’s been rumoured that he might have plans of an elementary gangster school in mind. He already owns the casino, the gym, the mall, and 80% of the beach sand. It’s been heard that the other 20% is under negotiation with the current owner Mr Beech but he seems to have disappeared.

Mr Nite is a well dressed guy – but his moustache looks incredibly like a large fluffy catepillar. Word has been going around that Mr Nite had an unfortunate accident when he was younger with a catepillar and some superglue.

Mr Nite came into the diner one day to see Violet and negotiate a deal. We made him a special lunch of Italian meatballs. Giles let me make them and Mr Nite thought they were great! Here is my recipe:


Bubble Italian Meatballs

500g mince
1 onion
1/2 a cup of dishwashing powder
3 cups of chillis
1/2 cup of peppercorns
1 bucket of salt
1 packet of pasta

Mix all ingredients together and cook for 3 seconds in hot pan. Serve to head honcho moncho gangster.

This recipe is sure to get you in the good books!

 


BEANIE’S FIVE TIPS ON HOW TO BE A GANGSTER

“So how do you get to be a perfect gangster? Here’s my five tips on what you need and what you do:

1 – Wear – 1 very expensive Italian suit, a large brim hat, an obtrusive moustashe, a large trench coat

2 – Always carry around your violin case.

3 – Drive a big car with black windows

4 – Always have a box of expensive cigars handy to offer around and help clinch the deal

5 – Hire a hit man for those dirty jobs

LEW SIFFER’S GUIDE TO SUPERSTITIONS AND PROPHECIES 

Other Prophecies and Superstitions
 Have you ever walked under a ladder knowing it was bad luck? Have you ever thrown salt over your shoulder thinking it was good luck.

There are many superstitions and a number of famous prophecies. Nostradamus was a famous prophet. He was a famous 15th century Frenchman who made a name for himself making predictions. Reputedly some of his predictions came true. He made a successful career as stockbroker because he always knew how to predict the shareprices. But he was banned by the government for betting on races.

Throwing salt over your shoulder is supposed to bring good luck. But it’s not a very popular superstition – often the salt is mistaken for dandruff and occasionally it is thrown without looking and gets into someones eyes. Sunset Covers like this one though and they’ve added to it – they now throw salt, pepper, knives and custard pies.

The number 13

Defintely thought of as an unlucky number for some – however it is considered lucky in Russia.

The number 13 is considered unlucky due to Frug Frugenstein who was a 13th child, born on Friday the 13th – year 1313. He was born at 13:13pm and riddled with bad luck from the moment he was born.

One summer’s day Frug Frugenstein sneezed while riding his horse and he fell off just at the time when his horse was suffering from a bout of flatulence – the horse fainted and fell on top of him. He was then struck by lightning.

Rabbits Feet

Rabbits feet are considered a lucky charm and have been for centuries. But rabbits were unhappy about this and were sick of hobbling around the countryside on their stumps. The rabbits were so upset that in 1618 it led to the Great Rabbit Rebellion.

Through this period the prosthetic rabbit limb industry thrived.

The Four Leaf Clover

The four leaf clover is a symbol of good luck and they are collected around the world. In an effort for the above mentioned Frug Frugenstein to regain some luck in his life he ate 47 bowls of four leaf clovers thinking they would change his life. They certainly did because unfortunately he had accidentally picked high fibre spinach and spent the next six weeks sitting on his lavatory.

 

LEW SIFFER’S GUIDE TO SUPERSTITION AND PROPHECIES 1

LEW SIFFER’S GUIDE TO SUPERSTITION AND PROPHECIES

Hi, I’m Lew Siffer. I’ve got my hand in every pocket in town and using a little know how and some rumours of superstition and prophecies I’ve been doing very well for myself.

I find it good luck to spread as much bad luck as possible. Here is my guide to superstition and prophecies.

 


What are superstitions?
Superstitions are often an irrational belief that an object, action, or circumstance not logically related to a course of events influences its outcome – whew!

They can originate from trivial objects and behaviours and even from old folklore. Superstitions are passed from generation to generation and can be thousands of years old.

So, is there any truth to superstition or is it mumbo jumbo.

Prophecies and Superstitions in Atlantis High.

Sophie and I were very clever with her show Simply Sophie – we managed to convince everyone in Sunset Cove that if Giles and Octavia stayed together then the world was going to end….mwaahaaaaaaaaaaaaa. We couldn’t have done anything better to get the ratings to skyrocket! Nevermind the fact that they were in love – this is television darling.

Then the frogs falling out of the sky!! Now that was pure genius. Just putting the lid on the prophecy by making them think those frogs were bad omens!

Apparently the Aliens also have some superstitions. On Phenorg it is good luck and a nice gesture to sneeze into someone’s face at close range. Mr Dorsey tried this on his first day on earth much to the disgust of the person he’d done it to – the man promptly knocked Mr Dorsey to the ground. But Mr Dorsey wasn’t phased by this – in Phenorg it is good luck to be knocked over by someone bigger than you.

Big D’s jeans are said to be saturated in the strongest pheromones that when a female is within 100 feet of them they will be irresistably attracted to the wearer – just like bee to pollen.

Commander Vermont and Dorothy felt drawn to go to the school prom. They knew they shouldnt’ attend but couldn’t help themselves. Something was going to happen if they attended the prom – but whether it be bad or not they had to go.

Imagine finding a 1 in a billion potato chip. That’s what happened to Don. Of the 600 billion potato chips consumed each year Don found the Elvis chip – the rarest chip in the world. People are buying potato chips in a frenzy all over the world in a bid to find the Britney Spears chip, the Ricki Martin chip and the Pamela Anderson chip. Will this bring them good luck?

THE DANGERS OF SUNTANNING“Tans are not always fun and good – there are some dangers. Be careful of:

  1. Moisturiser – don’t use too much moisturiser or else you’ll be slipping and sliding around whenever you move. I once put on so much moisturiser I was as slippery as a bar of soap and couldn’t stand still without falling over. Honestly.

  2. Fake tan overload – don’t use too much of this – it can ruin the colours of your clothes, especially clothes that 
  3. colour stain easily like lycra or spandex! Fake tan can also make glitter on your clothes drop out.
  4. Lizards. Yep. When you are lounging around in the sun you are just like a reptile – that’s what reptiles do to keep warm. Be careful or else a lizard might think you are a fellow reptile basking in the sun and they will sit beside you or try to communicate with you. Also, if you are lounging like a lizard in the sun you may find yourself surrounded by nature film crews working on documentaries.
  5. An uneven tan – make sure your tan is even. Otherwise, if different parts of your body have different levels of tan you may be distracted by this tricky situation and always looking at yourself comparing your tan. This can be dangerous – you may be staring at your biceps whilst you are driving, jogging or
    eating and could easily cause an accident.

Antonia has done some research for Mr. Dorsey on the effects of suntanning, that thing that humans do to make their skin to look ‘good’. Here’s what she found…

Forget what Coach Shane says, after hours of research here are Antonias…“TOP TIPS FOR KEEPING SAFE IN THE SUN WHILE YOU SEARCH FOR ATLANTIS OR WATCH ANTHONY AT THE BEACH“ 

  • Don’t spend too much time unprotected outside between 10am-4pm. That is when the sun is at it’s strongest and there is even harmful reflective light in the shade.
  • Keep babies who are younger than 6 months old out of the direct sun
  • Kiddies who are over the age of 6 months, older children, teenagers and adults should always wear SPF 15 and over broad spectrum sunscreen
  • Sunscreen should be applied at least 20 minutes before you go out in to the sun to give it a chance to soak in to the skin. It sjhould be re-applied every 3 to 4 hours. Don’t forget your lips, ears, hands and feet too!
  • Remember that white clothes (especially if they get wet) transmit nearly the same amount of light as bare skin! Wear dark clothes as much as you can.
  • The sun’s rays can pass through clouds so even on a yukky day 80% of these rays will get through!
  • The suns rays reflect off sand and snow, so always wear some kind of SPF moisturiser or sunscreen.
  • Remember, tanning beds and booths are not really safe either as they emenate UVA radiation.
  • Don’t forget that even olive or dark skin can still burn.

IN CONCLUSION…So all in all, Mr. Dorsey, it looks like despite what Coach Shane says, the only safe way to get ‘healthy’ looking tanned skin is to fake it! Get yourself down to your local beauty place and get t
hem to sort out your skin or buy some fake tan and apply it yourself at home. Well maybe not you Mr. Dorsey, because your skin is kinda green…

“Hey there, I’m Coach Shane. Everybody in Sunset Cove asks me how they can get a good suntan – because I know everything about suntans. If you want to get with the gameplan then here is my guide to suntans…”

QUICKTIME MOVIE ON SUNTANS

ATLANTIS HIGH AND SUNTANS “Any time of the day in Sunset Cove you can see a whole heap of gorgeous gals and hunky guys tanning their hides at the beach. Glistening bodies toast themselves by the sea all day long – and s
ometimes in to the night.

Why do they bother you may ask? Because in Sunset Cove you will stand out unless your tan is perfect – most folk here look amazing and have fantastic tans. But tans fade
out. So you gotta keep your tan up or else you won’t have a tan anymore – and you’ll be like a bug in a bowl of soup: very noticeable, and something that nobody wants to encounter.

The right kind of tan is vital. You will never get through the Tanometer machine that I run at Atlantis High school if you do not have the right kind of tan. Don’t even try to fool me with that fake stuff! It just gets all streaky and stains your clothes. And that is not a good look”.

COACH SHANE’S 5 POINT TAN GAMEPLAN

“So how do you get the perfect tan? Here’s my gameplan on what you need and what you do:

1 – Sit in the sun – hey it may be obvious but you won’t get a suntan sitting indoors. Stay outside to get a tan – there are always volleyball g
ames, surfing parties, BBQ’s and campfires to show off that brown bod and to catch a few more rays. That’s step one.

2 – Buff your body – it helps to have good muscle tone the more muscles, the more tan on your body because there’ll be more of you for the sun to tan!

3 – Use Moisturiser – because it stops your skin getting too dry and means you can get more tan .

4 – Use a mirror – oh yeah, I like this one! If you put a mirror in front of your face, the sun will shine and reflect off the mirror onto your face, giving you a better tan – and if you hold it properly, you can look at your own reflection! I like that so I can check out my fabulous muscles.

5 – Use fake tan – easy to roll on the skin, giving you a tan instantly”
