Short Story: Ol’ Mate Luxxo!
New developments in AI allow you to hover over an image and actually HEAR the conversation as it was taking place.
“So I said, ‘Charter schools, mate, if it was almost gonna be good enough for Sir John of the Key then it’s gonna be great for Ol’ Mate Luxxo!’”
“Is that what you’re calling yourself there? Ol’ Mate Luxxo?“
“Yeah, well the kids are calling me that everywhere, and I knew I’d break through. So, you know, just so happy to, um, be making an impact. Amanda and I are thrilled. She did 700 crunches to celebrate me finally cracking on from the Humpty Dumpty nickname. And I could probably do a bit better with my diet when I’m away from home(s), but the $52,000 I was hoping to peg back for better living had to get dropped back in the soon to be free for exploration ocean didn’t it. So I’ll probably just keep shopping at Countdown like so many Hardworking Kiwis. Bottles of Prime are just $1.50 now. And that’s a solid investment. Since Ol’ Mate Luxxo is in his prime!”
“Look, here comes another hand. I do love three way handshakes. Wanna combine with me and we’ll shake this brown hand. And smile with tiny glimmers of our soul peeking through?”
“Whatever Sir John of the Key is gonna do, you know Ol’ Mate Luxxo is gonna be keen to do with noticeably less charisma!”
