Calgary, AlbertaApril 27,

Well into the second day of the road trip to Vegas. Richard II is a game trooper as hispresence is required in many a shot. Im pretty sure hes not getting union scale. We pick upour valiant red rubber ball on the road again (PUN!). Little does he know he has been hookedup with:

I can dig it. The lonely road, the lonesome traveller...

Im getting outta here! Safe.

Ill come back only if I get danger pay. Family homestead? Anyone not inbred? Just kidding!

Sadly, Richard II disappears from our narrative after this last photo. Apparently his time inthe water negotiating his new contract caused his skin to wrinkle and rupture. Really. Noreally! Ingrid said so. Sigh. Im sure Ingrid was crestfallen losing her star model. She-devilshave feelings too you know. After a period of mourning (the length of time it took to find aTarget store) a casting call takes place to find Richard III. Ta-Da!

Im not going. You cant make me! Mommy!!! Sure lady, I can do it. You want I should crush this manhole coverto show ya I got whut it takes?

AAAAhhhh its her!!! Get Away, get away! Please, take the little guy. Hes tough.

The initial interview was kind of stressed. Apparently Targets rubber balls are telepathic......or is it telepathetic? It was hard to tell with all the screaming and crying. Eventually atough, pragmatic and adventure seeking ball was found. The road trip could continue...

... with Richard III. A different ball for sure. I mean look at him. The definition, thedemeanour, the desire to crush cast iron. You just know hell get along with the She-devil ofthe Toy Photo Shoot just fine. Hes got the stamina, the guts, the red colouring...

Cut in haf. I luv it, I luv it! No, I enjoy muckin about in garbage. Great shot!

At this point the confrontational attitude ofRichard III was deemed to be not beneficialto the artistic direction of Ingrid, She-devilof the Toy Photo Shoot. Possible coursesof action were detailed to Richard III. The

personality change was worthy of Oscaraccolades. An actor was born.
