The Legend of Grumps McGruff
Posted: 2008-10-23 02:18am
His boots made a rythmic tapping sound across the pavement. His long, wheezing cough could be heard for miles. The stink of his niccotine infused uniform mixed with his unwashed skin to form the distinct scent of unfiltered grumpiness. The chattering noises in the neon-clad building up ahead died suddenly, as he came to a halt at its threshold. There was a click of a lock from across the now curtained door. The police officer spat. This was the only place in town that he hadn't tried, and already he wasn't allowed in. He spat in the general direction of an old couple crossing the street, who abruptly changed direction and hurried off as if avoiding a sleeping bear. One of his huge hairy hands reached into his holster while the other tried rattling the handle, which didn't yield. From inside the bar, he could hear the suspenseful breathing of the terrified patrons. The sawn-off safety of the pistol in his hand naturally didn't need adjusting as he fired three different clips of metal into the door handle. Strictly speaking policemen were not allowed to saw the safety off of their weapons, which the chief had reminded him of almost every day, but as the officer had reason to believe Chief was a Democrat, so from a legal perspective (or at least McGruff's perspective), he didn't have a case against him.
The windows of the bar door was a criss-cross of cracks, and the handle resembled something akin to a sextoy designed by a modern artist than anyone else. He rattled the handle roughly and it fell off. Nevertheless, thought Grumps, he never opened doors in the first place whether they were locked or not. He emptied another five bullets into the hinges. He had stolen the clips from his co-worker Mickey, who at this time was attempting to resolve a hostage situation without any bullets. Because Mickey sounded like some hippy name to McGruff, he was rooting for the hostage-keeper. The door moaned and fell back inside of the bar, its already mutilated windows now devoid of any glass. Grumps strode past it, making sure to make a dramatic crunching sound over each and every shard of glass.
"Y-.... You're paying for that!" bellowed the manager from across the beer-bench.
"Son, do you have any goddamn idea how much time you can get for barring a policeman's entry?", McGruff replied, his voice shaking quite deliberately.
"Uh, um, a few months?"
McGruff gave the small man the same rigid expression he gave his wife when she asked him if she could get a job on the force.
"Five... Hundred... Years" he provided stonily.
"Bullshit!"
"Aaand..." Grumps proceeded, ignoring the manager's defiance "...combined with the fact that you are endangering your customers with all this sharp glass around, I'm afraid you might be behind bars for a very long time."
"What, for more than half a millenium!??" the manager spluttered back, shaking slightly.
"Oh yes. Not to mention the fact that as advertised that there wall that this is a family inherited alchohol dispensing faw-sility..." he drawled with an evil smile "...it seems only fitting that your punishment will be inherited also, down the family line for generations."
This much talk was beggining to irritate Grumps McGruff, and when the manager screamed in a sissy voice that he was not the Judge, he simply responded with "We'll see", and sat down at the bench. In fact it didn't matter if Grumps was a Judge or not, as all the judges in the state were currently tied and gagged in the foam-pit of Seven Oaks Elementary.
The manager apparently had the sense to quiet down after that, and the rest of the night went pretty camly for the officer, much to his dissapointement. So that when a youth darted past him, he siezed the opportunity to yank him back by his shirt and press his eye right up to his captive in a disturbing fashion.
"You mind explainin' yoself boyah?" he spat. The youth whimpered and shook his head.
"I don't have to put up with this shit" he muttered into the empty space behind McGruff's head.
"Well, maybe not, kid. Naw, I think you're gonna have to put up with something else entirely."
He stood up from his bench, pulled something out of his pocket that resembled something blatantly phallic, withdrew his baton from his belt, and began to screw the end of the suggestive bar slowly onto it. The genitally inclined piece of plastic in his pocket had given him some trouble in the past, although anyone who suggested its uses falsely were soon shown what it was really for.
Grumps waved his phallustick at the teenager, who by now was trembling.
"Ah am gonna give you to the count of ten to lick my shoes clean before I give you a much needed visit to the bathroom..." he said, glancing at the youth's jeans with a smirk "...and get you and this thing intimately equanted."
That night, McGruff's shoecleaner liquid would gather yet more dust as it sat idley upon the pile of red clothing that he had confiscated from people he suspected were communists. It was a sad fact that McGruff never truely forgot any national conflict, and so although he desperately wished to join the military, he couldn't decide whether he wanted to go fight in Iraq, Vietnam, Germany, or against the hated English so that the Americanas could finally obtain independance.
