Because, as you are about to see, Danny is hooked. Uncle Walter Presents "Danny and the Pancakes"
As we can see, Danny is a fan of pancakes. Yet the tell tale signs of addiction are clear. The squinty eyes, the red cheeks, the fact he is holding an iron pan without noticing the burning in his hand. Yes, Danny loves pancakes and they love him right back.
Here we learn of the factors that led Danny down the road of pancake addiction: The Dealer, Mrs. "Mary Jane" Green; Mr. Green "The Boss;" the gateway foods such as cake and pie; the car that delivered his vice; and numbers, because drug addled brains think about numbers... a lot.
Our tale begins innocently enough, as Mrs. Green brings in a fresh batch of highly addictive "cakes." Dan (Danny) can't be late. The icy hooks of addiction are deep within him and withdrawal would surely kill him. He is at the mercy of Mrs. Green.
Danny revels in his addiction, shunning traditional "foods" in favor of his "cakes." "I could eat a hundred pancakes," Danny boasts. Even his dealer doubts he is foolish enough to consume such a high quantity. But Mr. Green senses Danny may be just junkie enough to pull it off and decides to let Danny craft his own. In the drug lab provided he consumes what he makes.
Danny leaps at the chance once the others wander off aimlessly on another pancake high.
The moment they are out of sight, Danny races to the lab and begins his plan to get so high he couldn't get any higher... off pancakes. 100 should do it, he thinks.
He quickly dons the outfit of a baker (slang for drug maker) and locates the secret formula for the "cakes."
Working carefully, in measured quantities, he mixes and stirs until his concoction is ready.
His carelessness begins to show as his cravings increase. The dog gets a taste of some of the special white powder and is instantly turned into a bloodthirsty addict.
Heating to the appropriate temperature, his mixture is turned into a highly addictive product.
Already the cravings are driving young Danny mad. He gives in and prepares to OD on 100 "cakes."
His poor dog, hooked on the stuff, begs. But Danny won't share. He is determined to down the entire batch. Yet as his craving is fulfilled he begins to panic.
He finds cannot finish the batch. If Mr. & Mrs. Green see the left over "product" they will surely beat (and possibly kill) him. He thinks of the dog, now addicted to the stuff, and tries to force him to eat it all.
The dog took a few, then the jitters of the high kicked in and he ran off, leaving Danny with a batch of 80 "cakes" remaining. There had to be something he could do.
Finally it hit him! He could sell the surplus and pocket the cash! But where would he find junkies? Simple: make them. He started handing out tastes for free... then the price got steep.
Dealer Dan, as he is now known, is wanted in 15 states for illegal possession of "cakes" with intent to distribute. Do not approach. If you spot him contact the authorities immediately.
