Crazy Camel Down the Road Crazy Camel was always showing up in places he shouldn't go, his excuse was he was meeting someone he wanted to know, once he dropped in uninvited at a private dinner party in Pasadena, there he ask a woman who was a complete stranger "Don't I know you." and she immediately said "No" because she didn't want to know him, yet he still yelled out "I surely do want to know you." Yes, she turned him down flat, but you already knew that, wouldn't you if a character like Crazy Camel was bothering you like that? One day Crazy spent the entire day walking up and down Santa Monica Blvd, until he got thirsty for some lemonade so he took a quick turn on the 3rd Street Promenade, there he watched street performers doing break dancing and clowns that could make children laugh and Crazy thought that was great especially when some women in bikini's started skating around him on roller skates, by then it seemed to be getting late and Crazys belly was ready to eat so he parked his tail at a hot dog stand and placed a $100 bill into the vendors hand, how many dogs can I buy with this he inquired and the vendor replied "As many as you desire." There were plenty of dogs to go around to feed every hungry surfer guy and girl in that part of town, the sun set and bright lights illuminated the Santa Monica Pier and Crazy Camel started wanting some cotton candy and some beer, the ferris wheel was a gorgeous sight and the music box blasted Elvis singing "Are you Lonesome Tonite", as the evening progressed Camel was impressed with a woman that walked by in a tight red dress, he bought her a beer and they laughed and talked on the end of the pier, she was a Japanese tourist who adored Marilyn Monroe and she was staying in a Motel just down the road, and oh by the way, she was quite lonely tonight...
