Johnny Stucco, a humorous biography of a fictitious architectural editor. (original) (raw)

Johnny's size made him a valuable asset on construction sites. He was the right size to tuck asbestos insulation into all the hard-to-reach places.

After years of inhaling asbestos fibers, cement and construction site dust - Johnny was told to seek work in a dust free, sterile atmosphere. He applied for the vacant position of architectural editor here at TE and when asked for his resume he said; "What's a resume?" Having passed our test, he was immediately hired.

Johnny now explains architectural terms to us and writes The Dead Architects Society and other articles relating to the buildings of Texas. He doesn't eat the bountiful homemade meals that the rest of the staff enjoys. Johnny prefers the food he grew up on - the wholesome fare of catering trucks.

Of course Stucco is merely a nickname. Johnny's father and uncles used to be in the flooring business under the real family name - The Terazzo Brothers.

Johnny and Jay Walker share an office in the basement of One Texas Escapes Plaza. They can be reached through the editor's email at editor@texasescapes.com.
