Cast--Phone Assasin

I first met Phone Assasin at The Halftime Rec, a smoke-infested hole-in-the-wall bar that features live Irish music and Hammerschlagen upstairs--a game where the first person to pound a nail into a tree stump wins--and Bocce ball downstairs. It was a happy hour sponsored by Minnesotans for a Democratic Majority--a young Democrat organization. At that time, Phone Assasin was a roommate of a friend, Mr. Democracy. I was fascinated to discover that night that she worked as a tobbaco cop, busting retailers for selling cigarettes to minors. What a job!, I though--kinda undercover, kinda cop. Phone Assasin is about the most competitive person I know--and I know a lot of competitive people--so it's a good thing she subsequently married The Veteran, who will keep her competitive fires burning. Phone Assasin earned her moniker by dunking my cell phone in a glass of beer.
