People in the Wild, Wild West, as you can imagine, have unusual names. They're not their given names of course, but rather the names that we've given them. You've already been introduced to a few: Chaparra, el Jefe, PYT, OMG, Poor Vieja, etc. But in reality, there are many, many more.
For example, last night in the Wild, Wild West I saw Mr.& Mrs. Domestic, as in Domestic Violence (no further explanation needed). There was also Mr.& Mrs. Rhythmless (a match made in heaven and right in front of our eyes too.)
There was Monica Lewinsky. She earned her name by being too much of everything, like the original Monica Lewinsky: too much hair, too much make-up, too much body, too much, or should I say too little, clothes. Imagine her parading around the dance floor bigger than almost everyone in the place. One night she even strolled in with a fur stole.
Mr.&Mrs Prissy are permanent fixtures at The End of The Line, when one or the other of them hasn't been prohibited from entering (usually cause they've had a fight). There's the mouse because she always stands in a dark corner, but gets asked to dance non-the-less.
There used to be the Vampire who earned his name by showing up all of a sudden around midnight. Spooky! Then he might lick your shoulder while dancing with you. Who knows, maybe he'll mysteriously re-appear one night about midnight!
Pittsburgh who got his name because he'd drive all the way in from Pittsburg (California that i) just to dance at The End of The Line!
There was also the Skank, the Whore, The Cat and the Little Cat (the Cat's younger and shorter brother). And let us not forget Mother Mary whose been going to the End of the Line (and sitting in the same seat) for more that 10 years.
"Doesn't anybody around here have a real name?" asked Chaparra one night. But why would they have real names, when the End of the Line isn't even a real place!
