It all started a lifetime ago,1960-something. Glass shard Beach,New Jersey.I lived with my ma and pa in the lead paint district above the family pawn shop.祖传典当行
Dad was strict man, tough as a cinder block 面如铁石 and not easily impressed.难以取悦
Mom was a pathological liar, which served her well as a phone psychic.电话媒灵
And then, there was my nerdy twin brother Stanford. As if his abnormal high IQ wasn't enough, he also had a rare birth defect ----six fingers on each hand, which might have explained his obsession with sci-fi mystery weirdness.
As for me,I had what my mom liked to call"personality". But as different as we were, we were the perfect team.and every day we'd wander the beach, looking for adventure.
-A shipwrecked sailboat possibly haunted by pirates ghosts.失事的船骸
This is the greatest thing I've ever seen.And once I saw a dead rat floating in a bucket.
Those were good times, those bullies may have been right about us not making many friends, but when push comes to shove节骨眼上, you only really need one.Ford's brain seemed to get more impressive every year.so did our pet project.Sure I got in more than my fair share of trouble.But when you brother's the smartest kid in school, you've always get a leg up on the competition.The future was looking bright for both of us till one day.
-Now,Mr.pine I'd like to speak with you very frankly,I may.
-Very frankly is the only way I speak.
-You have two sons, one of them is incredibly gifted.The other one is standing outside this room, and his name is Stanley ...I'm saying your Stanford is a genius.All of his teacher are going bananas over his science fair experiment.You ever heard of west coast Tech?Best college in this country.Their graduates turn science fiction into science fact.The admission team is visiting tomorrow to check out Stanford's experiment.Your son may be future millionaire.Mr. pines.
-But what about our little free spirit Stanley.
-That clown?At his rate, he will be lucky to graduate high school.Look,there's a saltwater taffy store on the dockhand sb.s gotta get paid to scrap the barnacles off it.But hey, look on the bright side,Stanford's going places.At least you'll have one son in New Jersey forever.
"Jokes on them if they think you wanna go to some stuffy college on the other side of the country.
Once we get the Stan'o war complete.It's gonna be beaches, babes and international treasure hunting for us."
"Look Stan I can't pass up a chance like this.This school has cutting-edge programs and Muti-dimensional paradigm theory."
-I'd say we wasted a car trip. -What?it was stable yesterday.
Your brother was gonna be our tickets to get out of this dump.All you do is lie and cheat and ride on your brother's cottails 男士上衣后摆.Well,this time, you cost our family potential millions.And until you made us a fortune.You're not welcome in this household.
I had decided I wasn't gonna show my face at home till I proved I could make something of myself .Unfortunately the treasure business hunting was slow going.Apparently gold is some kind of rare metal.Luckily,I struck another kind of gold.
In sales,I had made my mark, all right.
Unfortunately,so did the chamois.Apparently the cheap dye I used to color them only made stains worse.Customers weren't crazy about that.Luckily they were chasing me with Stan co-brand pitchforks.
I was officially banned from New Jersey.But with a quick name change, steve Pinington was already take on 大干一场Pennsylvania .I traveled the whole country,sometimes outside of it.always one step ahead of law, looking for something that would be my break.
"All right,I know Backsmore wasn't anyone's first choice. but what we lack in prestige ,we make up for in mostly bug-free dorms."
In a place like that, I had to work twice as hard.Luckily that's what I do best.I went from undergrad to PHD 3 years ahead of schedule ,wrote a thesis that was nationally ranked, and was an enormous grant for my scientific research.But what to study ? My whole life,I'd been teased for my 6 fingers.but that got me thinking about anomalies.Things were odd,unsual, statically improbable.And according to my investigations, there was one place with a high concentration of these things than anyone else.A small lumber town in Roadkill country,Oregon Gravity Falls.
Meanwhile,your old uncle Stan was doing great.I come up with a sophiisticated new business strategy .I was in great shape living on my own, and the best part was I didn't need help from nobody .
I was heading out my own as well.I set to work using my grant money to investigate the strange properties of this town,But what would I found here---Bingo.I began to investigate at once,I knew I have to keep a journal.There were anomalies everywhere .And the more I looked ,the more I saw.It was finally a place where I felt at home.
But something nagged at me.Where did it come from?It seemed to me,the answer must lie outside of our world, a dimension of weirdness leaking into ours.I realized the only way to understand Gravity Falls would be build a gate ways portal to the source of its weirdness.But I coulnd't make it alone.I decided to call up my old college buddy,Fiddleford Mcgucket,who was wasting his talent trying to make personal computer in POla Alto.
Many lone nights wa spent perfecting the machine.It would be the crowning achievement of my studies, an answer to the source of my studies, an answer to the source of this town's anomalies.The time had to test it.
"The machine is dangerous .You'll bring about the end of world with this.Distroy it before it destroy us all.I feel we'v unleashed a great danger on the world,One I'd just as soon as forget,I quit.
I was in over my headband feared I was losing my sanity.I need help some one I could trust.
"Well,I can always count on you for a warm welcome.
No,you don't understand what I'v been through.I'd been to prison in 3 different countries.I once had to chew my way out of the trunk of a car.You think you'v got problem,I'v got a mullet,Stanford,Where have you been? Living it up in your fancy house in the woods.Selfishly hoarding(wealth deposit) your collage money.Because You only care about yourself.
I'v lost him.I didn't know If he was dead or alive in some distant galaxy.But I know his journal must have answer to getting him back somehow.I didn't get much sleep that night or after that.I tried for weeks to turn that dumb machine back on.But without the other two journals it was hopeless.Finally I ran out of food,I had no choice but go into town...
So I came up with a plan,I couldn't leave my brothers house until I figure out how to save him.But I needed to pay his mortgage .
For once in my life, people were actually buying what I I was selling.And soothe murder hut was born.Later named the Mystery Shack.Finally I'd found something I really good at. being a liar and a cheat paid off.
