Frank Figurski: When Theodore Streleski was asked upon his 1985
parole about the copycat
crime, he called Francis Figurski “that bald Streleski wannabe.” Unlike Streleski, however, Figurski invested
and prospered in the 1990s bull market following his release from jail. After selling a batch of Microsoft
shares in 1997, he looked up Jack Mounting-Dog on the Internet, paid him a surprise face-to-face visit and told
him to go fuck himself. Then they got drunk together and reminisced about vexing problems in tridimensional
harmonic equations from their graduate school days, problems Figurski had continued to work on in prison and,
after his parole, in virtual reality spaces. “What did you conclude about Quentin's chaetophorous scattering
theory, Many-Pens?” Jack asked, using the old nickname. “I hate Canadians, you always got that big chip on your
shoulder, you American and Indian wannabe,” Figurski replied. He didn't tell Mounting-Dog, who appears only
peripherally in the extant Figurski texts, about the mechanical pig he'd found in Scotland, then found again in
Florida. Lately its potential value had begun to dawn on him.
