"Indian Ike"
by Kathy Matthews
Indian Ike lived inside The Totum Bar at Ike's Pizza in Independence, Oregon. Indian Ike was a local icon; increasing the income of Ike's by infinite amounts over the years.
I was at Ike's one night with Ira, watching Ichiro play, when some idiot with ill-bred manners idly began to carve his initials on Indian Ike's inside thigh. It made me ill, the image of impure impulsiveness that imp Izzy was instigating.
In an instant, Ira, Issiah and I tackled the in-bred imbiber. It may have been inadvisable, considering the knife, but at the time that detail seemed inconsequential. The cops were called, charges were incurred against Izzy and he was eventually incarcerated.
To this day, Indian Ike is indispensable to Ike's Pizza in Independence.

Ichiro! I bet he'd be surprised to find he made the AtoZ challenge.
