Here I wish to digress one moment and say something on behalf of GM.\u00a0 Once the reader finishes with this story he\/she will come to the conclusion that the GM is a truly decrepit and sorry individual.\u00a0 One doesn\u2019t even need to read between the lines to see that his life is a complete charade and the natural human response is one of pity.\u00a0 On the other hand, it also does not require much effort to see the true evil nature of this person and therefore reversal of said pity is only fitting.\u00a0 Still, once the story concludes the reader will realize that many people not only stood by idly while the GM spun his evil web, but many willing participated in his evil schemes.\u00a0 In any event, we will return to the GM\u2019s bio at a later date, on with the story.<\/p>\n
The GM always had this air of pseudo-aristocracy on display.\u00a0 I use this terminology for it was nothing but pomp and show but Sam was too simple at the time to see this.\u00a0 Neither was Sam in tune with the obvious fact that someone from a goose-stepping jackbooted country (no not the US of today) would never have a name such as GM.\u00a0 As one friend of Sam who saw through the haze most eloquently termed this professor as \u201cder \u00fcber GM.\u201d\u00a0 Another cohort of Sam described GM as walking with a pipe shoved up his ass as he strutted around The University of Asscrack\u2019s premier center of attention.\u00a0 Possibly he retained much of the skeletal structure inherent in most Goat Men which is conducive to such a stride.\u00a0 It would be quite entertaining to ask Red Elk as to whether he met the GM during one of his trips to one of the inner earths.\u00a0 The GM had an unusual sound to his voice when he wasn\u2019t baaing.\u00a0 From Sam\u2019s GM voice imitation it is difficult to describe.\u00a0 First, every word is purposely drawn out and uttered in an almost bass like tone that always ended much stronger in volume on the last syllable.\u00a0 Second, it has a European signature to it; the type that makes English an unattractive language.\u00a0 Still, on his first meeting with the GM Sam became enamored with the GM\u2019s show.\u00a0 To Sam he had finally met a professor that was a true scientist, one where he would learn skills of value for his endeavor of becoming a successful chemist.<\/p>\n
The GM was unlike most other professors in another way.\u00a0 To enter the herd of the GM you had to first present a resume.\u00a0 In retrospect Sam told me that the main purpose was to gauge whether you had potential to generate useful ideas, a skill that the GM himself apparently lacked despite having 80+ patents to his name.\u00a0 These facts will become obvious as the story progresses; however, even I was shocked by the revelations Sam\u2019s story shed when it came to the GM\u2019s inventive skills (and lack thereof).\u00a0 Once the GM deemed Sam to be a valuable tool to achieving his evil ends a speech was delivered.\u00a0 Sam gave me some of the highlights.\u00a0 According to Sam the GM sat behind a desk of his that housed a computer off to the side and behind him was a bookshelf of sorts with numerous drawers.\u00a0 The drawers of this bookshelf (unbeknownst to Sam at the time) actually housed the GM\u2019s treasure trove of ideas.\u00a0 Ideas that had been presented to him by others to be exact, but I digress.\u00a0 The GM then asked Sam if he had heard the story of Damocles\u2019 sword?\u00a0 Sam said he did not know of it.\u00a0 So the GM began to tell Sam how Damocles was made the guest of honor by enemies of his and above his head they suspended a sword by a single hair.\u00a0 The GM continued, \u201cThis represents the inherent danger I take on when hiring a new student.\u201d\u00a0 Little did Sam know that even this speech was stolen by the GM.\u00a0 Sam told me that some years later he was watching The History Channel while drinking pints of beer and the episode featured a clip of a speech by one of the sons of the famous US senator GM, the deliverer of the speech being a man whom would later become a martyr of sorts in the Lone Star State.\u00a0 In the speech the martyr said almost verbatim to law makers what the GM had said to Sam during this initial indoctrination into the herd.\u00a0 The GM then said something even weirder.\u00a0 \u201cDon\u2019t worry; I will protect your soft underbelly.\u00a0 I will make sure that your project is original.\u201d\u00a0 Still Sam foolishly not only believed that such odd statements were just a European thing but he also took stock into the GM\u2019s promises, something that would haunt him later.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
