He WAS 'Some Guy'..

''Green and me, we look so swank in our tuxedos, wearing black and white bow ties, with fake carnations glued to our lapels. We have 'Just Married' written down both sides of the car with tubes and tubes of white toothpaste. Those Oreo cookies. twisted in half and stuck on. We have cowbells and tin cans roped to the rear bumper - a clear violation of the I-SEE-U Noise Limitations, but even Daytimers will cut slack for young marrieds.
Cowbells bouncing and white streamers flying from our antennae, we pull up to the curb, and some guy's standing there with his hands stuffed in his pockets. Tina Something throws her bridesmaid's bouquet in his face, saying, 'Hey, dude.' She yells 'Catch!' The girls silk flowers hit him in the face but he catches them. He's quick. He's a quick guy, and we're short one lookout. How weird is that?
I yell, 'You!' To the guy, I say, 'You got gas money?'
It just so happens that guy is Rant Casey.''


extract from 'Rant' by Chuck Palahniuk,
(chapter 16, page 122)
