out, man. My ex-girlfriend sent me a Valentine’s Day gift.<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Guy 2:</b> The card very clearly says, “So
sorry for getting this Christmas gift to you so late.”<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Guy 1:</b> She’s just being coy about it.<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Guy 2:</b> I mean, I guess she’d at least
have to be discreet. You know, because of her husband.<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Guy 1:</b> My dear sir, you labor under
the misguided assumption that I am in any way opposed to being her side piece. <br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Guy 2:</b> I lament both your delusion
and your low self-esteem.<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Guy 1:</b> Your obvious jealousy is
unbecoming.<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Guy 2:</b> You haven’t even seen her in
person for years.<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Guy 1:</b> But our correspondences have
been wonderful.<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Guy 2:</b> She emailed you about a tax
form pertaining to the house that you bought together, like, five months before
she left you for the coworker who is now her husband.<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Guy 1:</b> Pretense. She missed me and
wanted to talk.<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Guy 2:</b> I can’t even begin to express
how much I hope you don’t actually believe that.<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Guy 1:</b> You know, Valentine’s Day
used to be our anniversary. I should probably send her a gift.<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Guy 2:</b> No, dude. No. No, no, no. <br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Guy 1:</b> Are we still having
supply-chain issues? I think Amazon can get jewelry to her on time.<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Guy 2:</b> I will lock you in the garage,
you sad fuck.<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Guy 1:</b> You might have a point. She
can’t wear jewelry from me in front of her husband. If we’re going to keep this
affair quiet, I’ll have to be a bit sneakier. I could make her a mix tape or,
better yet, write her a song. I’ve been working on a little something in D
minor lately.<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Guy 2:</b> Killing yourself is the more
honorable, dignified option here. Like, just go in the garage and quietly take
your own life in a way that won’t inconvenience anyone else or contribute to
gun-death statistics that could see use in efforts to eliminate the Second
Amendment.<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Guy 1:</b> Wow. That’s really harsh.<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Guy 2:</b> Yeah, it is. But it has to
be. You have to stop this shit. She left you and married someone else. She’s
never coming back. On the exceedingly rare occasions when she interacts with
you at all, she’s only doing so out of politeness or necessity or fear that people
will put some of the blame on her if you do something fucked up. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Guy 1:</b> Look, man, if she left me out
of the blue like that, she could do the same thing to her husband.<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Guy 2:</b> Even if she did leave her
husband, she would never, ever come back to you. You are nothing to her but a
social obligation of diminishing importance. If you can’t see that even now, you’d
be better off hanging yourself in the garage to prevent filling the world with
all this pathetic bullshit.<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Guy 1:</b> What is it with you and the
garage?<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Guy 2:</b> I like it in there. That’s
where the gym is. <br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Guy 1:</b> Rationally, I know what you’re
saying is true. I just can’t seem to let her go.<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Guy 2:</b> Too bad. You have no choice
in the matter. Move on or kill yourself. I’m tired of this shit. <br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Guy 1:</b> Isn’t this the point at which
you tell me I’ll find someone better and be happier with her?<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Guy 2:</b> Fuck no. That’s probably not
true. <br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Guy 1:</b> Oh.<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Guy 2:</b> And I don’t condone all that “get
over your ex by finding someone new” bullshit. People aren’t nicotine gum.<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Guy 1:</b> That’s a very Kantian
perspective.<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Guy 2:</b> Besides, I don’t think you
want to find someone else.<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Guy 1:</b> You have a good point. I’m
not lonely. I just miss her.<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Guy 2:</b> Well, she doesn’t miss you.
Not even a little bit. Keep that in mind.<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Guy 1:</b> Yet another hard truth I’m
going to have to face, I guess. <br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Guy 2:</b> If you opt not to kill
yourself.<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Guy 1:</b> In the garage, right?<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Guy 2:</b> Right.<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Guy 1:</b> I think I’ll just keep using
the garage to work out.<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Guy 2:</b> Good. Lifting heavy things is
good.<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Guy 1:</b> This was a productive talk,
man. I appreciate it.<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Guy 2:</b> Sure, but I’m not real. You’ve
been talking to yourself this whole time.<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Guy 1:</b> So I have been. <br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Guy 2:</b> If you’re not ready yet to
have a similarly tough talk about your mental health, you can just blame this worrisome
schizophrenic behavior on all the echoes that happen in this big empty house that
your ex left you alone in.<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Guy 1:</b> That was just mean.<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Guy 2:</b> I was trying to psych you up
for a deadlift-PR attempt. <br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Guy 1:</b> It’s not deadlift day.<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Guy 2:</b> It clearly needs to be.<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Guy 1:</b> Clearly. Happy Valentine’s
Day! </span><o:p></o:p></p>morbid misanthropehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16530962369422901601noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13125341.post-31427336598615578062018-02-01T18:14:00.002-08:002018-02-01T18:14:42.147-08:00A Knock-Knock Joke<div class="MsoNormal">

I just got my hair cut.<br /><strong>Guy 1:</strong> No, not your hair. I mean you look physically ill.<br /><strong>Guy 2:</strong> Yeah, well, the broad that cut my hair had the worst breath on the planet—worse than anyone currently alive or dead.<br /><strong>Guy 1:</strong> You mean her breath was worse than a corpse’s breath.<br /><strong>Guy 2:</strong> Presumably, yes.<br /><strong>Guy 1:</strong> But we’re scumbags, bro. The smell of that black sludge I puked up that one time I drank a bunch of the blue-label Smirnoff vodka didn’t bother you at all. How could some lady’s breath have been terrible enough to make you sick? I mean, you look as if you just ate a bag of abortions from a leper colony dumpster.<br /><strong>Guy 2:</strong> Urgh … my lungs feel like the walls of an outhouse resting atop a tallow vat.<br /><strong>Guy 1:</strong> Don’t tell me you’re turning into a big girl, and foul odors are suddenly too much for your dainty lady nose.<br /><strong>Guy 2:</strong> I can’t even begin to describe the horror, dude. This stench transcends foul odor. Those Lovecraftian tentacle whisps of mephitic breath assaulted more than my nose. Those noxious, invisible stink tendrils hurt my soul … my soul. <br /><strong>Guy 1:</strong> Holy shit. What did this breath smell like?<br /><strong>Guy 2:</strong> What did it smell like? You can’t compare this breath to anything currently extant in this realm, dude. Inhaling that filth was like gazing into the abyss. It was gazing back into me, man. The abyss was fucking gazing into me!<br /><strong>Guy 1:</strong> Calm down, dipshit.<br /><strong>Guy 2:</strong> You just can’t understand.<br /><strong>Guy 1:</strong> I’ll try, though, because I’m beyond intrigued. What did this lady look like?<br /><strong>Guy 2:</strong> Well, physically she was a petit Vietnamese lady. That, I’m convinced, was only a disguise—a three-dimensional skin tarp, duplicitously masking the unspeakable horrors undulating endlessly into the depths beyond the boundaries of human understanding.<br /><strong>Guy 1:</strong> Enough of that metaphysical shit, dude, seriously.<br /><strong>Guy 2:</strong> Sorry. But, like I said, my soul has been wounded.<br /><strong>Guy 1:</strong> By bad breath? Heh. Pansy.<br /><strong>Guy 2:</strong> Take it easy, dick. I’m coming out of shock.<br /><strong>Guy 1:</strong> She probably just had some fucked up shit for lunch. You know, like cists scraped from cod cloacae, boiled in garlic broth or something.<br /><strong>Guy 2:</strong> I’m telling you, man: smells like that can’t be created. They have to be conjured … summoned or something.<br /><strong>Guy 1:</strong> Try to give me some kind of smell to compare it to.<br /><strong>Guy 2:</strong> I can’t. I mean, it didn’t smell like anything else. The best I can do is formulate some kind of comparison based on the severity of the odor as opposed to its similarities to common scents with which you’d be familiar.<br /><strong>Guy 1:</strong> Wait … what?<br /><strong>Guy 2:</strong> Okay, here’s an example: Although it didn’t smell anything like a syphilitic skunk ejaculating liquid Limburger cheese onto a pubic hair fire, I can safely—with a significant amount of presumption, of course—say that it was a far worse smell than that. Again, I must stress that it stank like nothing else I have ever smelled before.<br /><strong>Guy 1:</strong> Dude, truffle oil!<br /><strong>Guy 2:</strong> What?<br /><strong>Guy 1:</strong> My truffle oil precedent. Someone might ask, “What does truffle oil taste and smell like?” And my answer would be, as always, “It tastes and smells like truffle oil.” Truffle oil is a unique experience and can’t be compared to anything else.<br /><strong>Guy 2:</strong> Truffle oil sucks and is terrible.<br /><strong>Guy 1:</strong> Fuck you. You just have a pedestrian palette.<br /><strong>Guy 2:</strong> If by pedestrian you mean averse to the flavors one might find while probing the underside of a Parisian bus seat with his tongue, then, yes, I have a pedestrian palette. <br /><strong>Guy 1:</strong> Whatever.<br /><strong>Guy 2:</strong> Anyway, her breath was worse than if an aged Russian circus bear puked white pepper into her mouth, and that really obese cat that was on the news recently used her mouth as a litter box for, like, a month.<br /><strong>Guy 1:</strong> It was worse than that?<br /><strong>Guy 2:</strong> Based on my a posteriori understanding of the component odors present in that description, yeah, it was far gnarlier than that shit.<br /><strong>Guy 1:</strong> I’m noticing a recurring theme here. You seem to draw frequently from the animal kingdom when compiling gross smells.<br /><strong>Guy 2:</strong> Of course. This smell was entirely inhuman, so it makes perfect sense.<br /><strong>Guy 1:</strong> Did it burn your eyes?<br /><strong>Guy 2:</strong> It was suffocating my soul, dude. It went far beyond eye-burning. I don’t know if her hair dryer wasn’t working or something, but instead of using it to blow the loose hair from my shoulders, she blew on me with her heinous breath. It was like inhaling glass shards through the tubular offal from a mad cow while a proctologist ham-fistedly jammed a nine-volt battery into my sinuses.<br /><strong>Guy 1:</strong> A nine-volt battery?<br /><strong>Guy 2:</strong> You know how if you put a nine-volt battery to your tongue it sort of zaps you a little?<br /><strong>Guy 1:</strong> Oh yeah. I get it.<br /><strong>Guy 2:</strong> This sucks. My scent memory is like some kind of fucked up crime scene now.<br /><strong>Guy 1:</strong> Why the hell didn’t you just offer her a breath mint or something?<br /><strong>Guy 2:</strong> Yeah, because dropping a urinal mint into the Gangese River is going to make it smell like a Listerine spring on the shores of Lake Arrowhead.<br /><strong>Guy 1:</strong> Hey, at least it would have been something.<br /><strong>Guy 2:</strong> You’re familiar with the concept of the hopelessly futile, right? Because an Altoid wouldn’t make a shit volcano smell like toothpaste. That’s the definition of futility, homeslice.<br /><strong>Guy 1:</strong> And besides that, if you insulted the woman’s breath, she probably would have jammed scissors in your ear or forced you to play Russian Roulette with her refugee uncles in the alley behind the store. I saw <em>The Deer Hunter</em>. I know what’s up.<br /><strong>Guy 2:</strong> I’d be more concerned she’d fuck up my haircut.<br /><strong>Guy 1:</strong> Where’d you get your hair cut again?<br /><strong>Guy 2:</strong> Supercuts.<br /><strong>Guy1:</strong> And you wonder why you had a shitty experience? Way to go, tightwad. Why don’t you drop an extra five bucks and get a proper haircut instead of going to So-So Cuts all the goddamned time.<br /><strong>Guy 2:</strong> I seriously doubt that five dollars is all that separates a face full of freshly milked elephant seal flatus from a quality haircut.<br /><strong>Guy 1:</strong> Whatever, dude. Why don’t you go take a shower or something—wash some of the shame off of yourself. You’ve got the facial expression of a rape victim.<br /> </span>morbid misanthropehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16530962369422901601noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13125341.post-6953360443084971902008-08-20T00:39:00.000-07:002008-08-20T00:45:18.975-07:00The Random Dialogs: Part Two<span style="font-family:arial;"><strong>Guy 1:</strong> What is it with women?<br /><strong>Guy 2:</strong> You mean, like, in general?<br /><strong>Guy 1:</strong> No. I mean like how they always refer to a boner as a hard-on when they’re trying to sound all sexy right before they blow you. You know?<br /><strong>Guy 2:</strong> No, actually. I’ve never found myself in that situation.<br /><strong>Guy 1:</strong> Heh. Fag.<br /><strong>Guy 2:</strong> Shut up, asshole. I am not.<br /><strong>Guy 1:</strong> Anyway, yeah, it’s like when they’re trying to sound all sexy they call your woody a hard-on, as if that’s somehow the inherently erotic term for your erect penis.<br /><strong>Guy 2:</strong> This has happened to you a lot?<br /><strong>Guy 1:</strong> Oh yeah, totally. Pretty much, like, every single time. And, of course, in the thousands of pornos I’ve seen.<br /><strong>Guy 2:</strong> Maybe all of those pornos were written by the same guy.<br /><strong>Guy 1:</strong> That’s a valid hypothesis; however, as I just said, it always happens in real life, too.<br /><strong>Guy 2:</strong> Pardon me if I find it difficult to believe you’ve been raking in blowjobs these last few months.<br /><strong>Guy 1:</strong> Hey, you don’t know. Alright, pal?<br /><strong>Guy 2:</strong> Please, continue. Because, seriously, I have no idea where you’re going with this—never mind what triggered this bizarre conversation.<br /><strong>Guy 1:</strong> Well, I was watching the Food Network just now, when I suddenly remembered how much I love it when chicks blow me, yet, at the same time, I was thinking how much I hate women because they’re stupid.<br /><strong>Guy 2:</strong> And that triggered your memory of their unusually consistent way of referring to boners just before they put them in their mouths.<br /><strong>Guy 1:</strong> Yeah, basically. Come to think of it, maybe I—hell, all men—like BJs so much because it’s the one time women stop saying stupid shit for, like, five seconds without having their jaws wired shut.<br /><strong>Guy 2:</strong> From when they fell down all of those stairs and then ran into the door?<br /><strong>Guy 1:</strong> Exactly. Anyway, I don’t know what they have against words like boner, but they always seem to use hard-on instead. Or cock. Sometimes they use the word cock, but then they sound all medical. Seriously, what’s wrong with boner?<br /><strong>Guy 1:</strong> I don’t know. It’s not a very graceful word. Like, I suppose no matter how breathy a woman says that word it still sounds like she’s referencing a mistake her drunk uncle made at the last family reunion.<br /><strong>Guy 2:</strong> So? A boner isn’t supposed to be graceful. It’s just a stupid piece of engorged meat. It doesn’t even do anything. I mean, maybe if it fucked the ladies for you—had some moving parts, a piston, a dimmer switch—then they could church it up a little. It’s like an idiot memo got sent out in sound waves only women can hear. <br /><strong>Guy 1:</strong> I suppose such a thoughtless redundancy can really spoil the mood.<br />Guy 2: Yeah! It’s like, for once, I wish a woman would say something like, “Just lay back while I try to wrap my head around your boner.” Or maybe even, “Hold still while I spread my face on your stiffy.”<br /><strong>Guy 1:</strong> That’s all class.<br /><strong>Guy 2:</strong> Women are just unimaginative, I guess.<br /><strong>Guy 1:</strong> Well, at least they don’t seem to mind blowing you.<br /><strong>Guy 2:</strong> Dude, you know what it’s called when you split a chicken open to prepare it for cooking? Spatchcock!<br /><strong>Guy 1:</strong> Really?<br /><strong>Guy 2:</strong> Hell yeah! How awesome is that shit?<br /><strong>Guy 1:</strong> That <em>is</em> pretty funny. </span>morbid misanthropehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16530962369422901601noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13125341.post-90939994031493598962008-08-03T20:36:00.000-07:002008-08-03T21:06:49.753-07:00The Random Dialogs: Part One<span style="font-family:arial;"><strong>Guy 1:</strong> So, did you watch the <em>Star Wars</em> trilogy I let you borrow?<br /><strong>Guy 2:</strong> Dude, you didn’t LET me borrow them, you essentially forced me to take them home and watch them over the weekend. Seriously, it was like the crappiest homework assignment I’ve ever had.<br /><strong>Guy 1:</strong> I guess you didn’t like the movies, then?<br /><strong>Guy 2:</strong> Of course not. They were goddamned terrible.<br /><strong>Guy 1:</strong> Oh, why? Because the effects were crappy? It was the 70s, man. You can’t dismiss the greatness of the classics just because the special effects are archaic.<br /><strong>Guy 2:</strong> The effects had nothing to do with it. It’s actually kind of refreshing to see cheesy old-school effects from time to time. Unfortunately, you had to buy the remastered trilogy. Really, dude? I know next to nothing about the <em>Star Wars</em> universe, yet even I felt like I was getting kicked in the dick by a sniggering George Lucas when in the end of the third movie Hayden Christensen’s ghost was standing there instead of the original guy.<br /><strong>Guy 1:</strong> Just what did you hate so much?<br /><strong>Guy 2:</strong> It was just the whole thing. It was … it was fucking terrible.<br /><strong>Guy 1:</strong> No way! Give me one example.<br /><strong>Guy 2:</strong> Okay, right from the very beginning: “A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.” Of course the galaxy is far, far away—it’s another galaxy. The closest galaxy to us is literally millions of light years away, for fuck’s sake! It’s like George Lucas thinks we’re all a bunch of assholes or something.<br /><strong>Guy 1:</strong> You’re saying Lucas purposely insulted his audience with a redundancy he thought they were too stupid to catch? What if it was just an accident?<br /><strong>Guy 2:</strong> If it was an accidental redundancy, then Lucas is the asshole. What kind of moron writes an entire movie about space without realizing the blatant, brain-fuckingly stupid redundancy in the opening line of the film? If he’s not being insulting, he’s just being lazy.<br /><strong>Guy 1:</strong> Dude, you’re thinking about this way too much.<br /><strong>Guy 2:</strong> You wanted an example, so I gave you one. It’s a big pile of fucking stupid from the beginning all the way to the end. And how can you say I’m putting too much thought into this? When you <em>Star Wars</em> fags obsess about the movie, blowing nerd loads all over each other’s Boba Fett avatars on the message boards, it’s all accolades and cheetos dust-coated ass-patting.<br /><strong>Guy 1:</strong> That’s totally different.<br /><strong>Guy 2:</strong> Sure it is. Urg. I feel like a mouth-breathing ultra-virgin just for discussing this shit right now.<br /><strong>Guy 1:</strong> Well, at least admit that Darth Vader was a total badass.<br /><strong>Guy 2:</strong> He was a pussy. A big, gay pussy smothered in sissy sauce.<br /><strong>Guy 1:</strong> How can you even say that? He strangled people without even touching them! </span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong>Guy 2:</strong> He probably didn't want to break a nail. </span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong>Guy 1:</strong> Well, what about …<br /><strong>Guy 2:</strong> Jedi—pussies. Dark side—pussies. Boba Fett, a guy who died because he fell into a hole even though he was wearing a goddamned jetpack—pussy. The Force, Jabba, ewoks—gay, gay, gay. What the fuck ever.<br /><strong>Guy 1:</strong> Come on now!<br /><strong>Guy 2:</strong> Seriously. What’s up with those movies? Like, if there were a special feature on the DVDs where you could watch Lucas directing as the movies were being filmed, it’d just be him sitting on a barstool with a bullhorn, screaming “Gayer!” after every take.<br /><strong>Guy 1:</strong> I’m going to ignore all of that. Is there nothing you liked at all about the trilogy?<br /><strong>Guy 2:</strong> Yeah, I liked it when Darth Vader was swashbuckling with Gandalf, and Gandalf was all, “If you leave me now, you take away the biggest part of me.” Then he teleported into space, went all Super Saiyan, and destroyed the Death Star and a whole bunch of those bad-guy space ships that look like photovoltaic ping-pong balls with a giant hadoken.<br /><strong>Guy 1:</strong> What the fuck are you talking about?</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong>Guy 2:</strong> It’s adorable how you Star Wars fags get more worked up about inaccuracy than downright shit-talking.</span>morbid misanthropehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16530962369422901601noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13125341.post-30067766743665456142008-04-01T01:43:00.000-07:002008-04-01T01:49:02.554-07:00Interesting MM Quotes from His Editor<span style="font-family:arial;">Morb has been very occupied with work as of late, and, in order to create the illusion of activity on this blog, asked me to post something. I asked him what, exactly, he’d like me to post, and I believe his exact words were, “I don’t know. Fuckin’ something, stupid.”<br /><br />Since none of you, his readers, will ever get to meet him personally (be grateful, very grateful), I thought it might be kind of interesting to post some things that I’ve heard him say while interacting with people on a day-to-day basis. Yes, he really hates having to deal with people, but he’s accepted the fact that, short of growing a beard and living in a cave, he’s never going to escape the human interaction modern life demands. Also, because anything he’s written but decided not to post on this blog is utterly useless and unreadable, posting a few of his more coherent quotes was an easy way for me to fulfill my contractual duties with minimal effort.<br /><br />Because Morb has resigned himself to the fact that he can’t escape dealing with people, he’s completely stopped censoring himself in any way. I mean, honestly, he just doesn’t care what he says to people; it’s like he has no indecency filter. While nearly everything he says is terribly hurtful, much of it is also very funny—or at least he thinks it is (as his editor, I sometimes agree). I was present for many of the following gems, some of them he text-messaged to me right after they happened (often prefaced by, “Hey, you’ll never guess what I just said to this retard who was bugging me”), and other phrases I learned of indirectly from the offended people at whom he initially spat them. The parenthetical italicizations are my simple situational explanations for the quotes. Enjoy … or don’t. I don’t really care as long as Morb agrees that I’ve done my job and lets my kitten, Mr. Camew (Get it? Camus + mew [kitten sound] = Camew. Adorable, no?), live one more day. <br /><br /><em>(To an annoyingly festive coworker on Saint Patrick’s Day)</em><br />“One, I’m not Irish; two, I can’t drink alcohol; and three, if you pinch me I’ll kill you.”<br /><br /><em>(To a coworker he had to ask for directions)<br /></em>“Other than my personality, my only flaw is my terrible sense of direction.”<br /><br /><em>(To me during a discussion regarding something he was writing)</em><br />“Of course the crux of my humor is self-deprecation. If I went around deprecating everyone else all the time, people would think I was a total dick. By the way, that shirt looks crappy on you, tubby.” <br /><br /><em>(To a fellow metal musician at a record store)<br /></em>“Anyone who tells you being a musician is only about getting chicks is a fucking asshole … he’s probably up to his lungs in pussy, but he’s still a fucking asshole.”<br /><br /><em>(To the pretentious, faux-intellectual lady clerk/artist at the book store who used the wrong words to say something really stupid)<br /></em>“There’s a painfully obvious difference between ascetic and aesthetic, Miss, and if you don’t understand that, you ought to abstain from talking and just occupy yourself looking at pretty pictures in the dipshit aisle.”<br /><br /><em>(To a hoard of environmental activists protesting in the town square)</em><br />“When you hippy bastards immolate yourselves in protest of America’s use of fossil fuels, try not to use any gasoline. You wouldn’t want to look foolish or anything.”<br /><br /><em>(To annoyingly religious coworker reading about a conjoined twins operation in the newspaper)<br /></em>“Don’t feel too bad about that twin not surviving the operation: she’s the one that didn’t love Jesus.”<br /><br /><em>(To me during a discussion regarding something he was writing)<br /></em>“If you can think of a better non-scientific name for cystic fibrosis than cumlung, I’d certainly like to hear it … Are you seriously offended by that? Faggot.”<br /><br /><em>(To an old lady in the Marie Callender’s parking lot making loud coughing noises in response to Morb’s smoking)<br /></em>“Oh, fuck off already. Look, if the fifth piece of banana cream pie you swallowed whole tonight didn’t stop the ramshackle hunk of baboon meat and chewing gum you call a heart, I seriously doubt a whiff of quality tobacco is going to free you of the mortal-fucking-coil.” <br /><br /><em>(To an old man at the supermarket checkout who was jamming his cart into Morb’s calves)</em><br />“I’m going to have to point out what a bad idea it is to fuck with a person who places absolutely no value on human life when you’re old enough to die from getting pushed down a stair.”<br /><br /><em>(This is an e-mail Morb got from someone asking him a stupid question and his response, which was sent but never posted here before)</em><br /><br />Dear Morb,<br /><br />I recently took a new job. Everything has been going great, but now I think I am falling for my manager. She’s really pretty—although I think cute is a better word to use to describe her—and I think she really understands me. We have the same sense of humor and she gets all my jokes. Maybe I fall in love too easily. I really am a hopeless romantic. Should I tell her how I feel about her? I’m worried it would cause problems at work, or, even worse, she wouldn’t have the same feelings for me that I have for her. What should I do?<br /><br />Sincerely,<br /><br />Anonymous Reader<br /><br />Dear Anonymous Reader:<br /><br />Dude, if you had ever read this blog before, you’d know better than to ask me a gay question like that.<br /><br />Seriously, you have the spine of a washcloth. “Maybe I fall in love too easily.” How can you even say something so utterly epicene? Were you raised by a single mother or something? Did a little too much of mommy’s stray estrogen find its way into your undoubtedly pointy head? You’re probably the kind of priss that likes buying tampons for his heavy-flow girlfriend when she’s too crampy to budge ass off the couch and go to the store her own goddamned self.<br /><br />Fuck, dude, I seriously don’t even know where to start making fun of you. “A hopeless romantic.” You’re like the Holy Grail of spineless, potpourri-scented, emasculated modern males. Just how much of your chemical makeup is low-fat, sugar-free Jell-O, anyway? Give me a close estimate, because I want to know how easily I’ll be able to put my foot through your torso when I try to kick the lisp demon out of you during what could only be compared to a hilariously violent blunt-force exorcism performed by a meth-spun Viking covered in rabid raccoons.<br /><br />I could go on. Seriously. I could tear into your powder-puff emotional state like a 500-pound Cajun attacking a turducken after an especially long and fat-free Lent. But, because I’m feeling especially nice today, I’m going to let this pass. I’m not even going to post this crap. I’m going to spare your lady feelings and just ignore this chance to kick you around for a while.<br /><br />I’m totally kidding. I’m not nice at all. The only reason you’re off the hook today, Sally, is because the 7-11 down the street just got a shipment of these coffee energy drinks that taste like they have vodka in them, and I’m going to buy them all so I can remember what alcohol tastes like. I do, however, suggest you try to grow some nads, though. Because if I ever see you and you’re still a little bitch, I’m going to kick you into traffic just so I can watch your ovaries get wrapped around some tires.<br /><br />Cordially,<br /><br />MM</span>morbid misanthropehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16530962369422901601noreply@blogger.com15tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13125341.post-3571165658512714322008-03-05T01:43:00.000-08:002008-03-05T01:53:58.109-08:00Solving the Pube Enigma<span style="font-family:arial;"><strong>Guy 1:</strong> Dude, I think there’s a pube in my chicken strips.<br /><strong>Guy 2:</strong> A what?<br /><strong>Guy 1:</strong> A fuckin’ pubic hair, dude. I think there’s a pube on my chicken.<br /><strong>Guy 2:</strong> Are you sure it isn’t just a chicken hair?<br /><strong>Guy 1:</strong> Chickens have feathers, bro.<br /><strong>Guy 2:</strong> Yeah, but, like, they have some hair, too.<br /><strong>Guy 1:</strong> What?<br /><strong>Guy 2:</strong> Like, haven’t you ever had a chicken wing with, like, sort of bristly hairs sticking off of it?<br /><strong>Guy 1:</strong> No.<br /><strong>Guy 2:</strong> Really?<br /><strong>Guy 1:</strong> Really.<br /><strong>Guy 2:</strong> Well, they do have hairs sometimes, I guess. Usually just a few here and there near the pointy part of the wing.<br /><strong>Guy 1:</strong> Fuckin’ weird.<br /><strong>Guy 2:</strong> Yeah, totally.<br /><strong>Guy 1:</strong> But, dude, this hair is curly and shit.<br /><strong>Guy 2:</strong> Let me see … ewww, dude, that’s a fuckin’ pube!<br /><strong>Guy 1:</strong> I knew it!<br /><strong>Guy 2:</strong> You should take it back to the counter and get another order.<br /><strong>Guy 1:</strong> Yeah, right! Then they’d probably spit on the chicken, too, this time.<br /><strong>Guy 2:</strong> True. Or put, like, five pubes in there, hidden at the bottom.<br /><strong>Guy 1:</strong> Those assholes.<br /><strong>Guy 2:</strong> Can you, like, eat around it or something?<br /><strong>Guy 1:</strong> I don’t even want to look at it, bro.<br /><strong>Guy 2:</strong> This reminds me of that time Ryan found a pube in his French fries.<br /><strong>Guy 1:</strong> Well, what did he do?<br /><strong>Guy 2:</strong> He stood up in the middle of the restaurant and yelled, “There’s a goddamn pube in my French fries!” and then the manager came out and told him to leave.<br /><strong>Guy 1:</strong> Why? It’s not like it was his own pube he put in there or something.<br /><strong>Guy 2:</strong> The manager said he was making a scene or something gay like that.<br /><strong>Guy 1:</strong> Dude, I think I’m just going to pick the pube off of my chicken.<br /><strong>Guy 2:</strong> Fuckin’ gross! You’re going to touch it?<br /><strong>Guy 1:</strong> I think I kind of have to.<br /><strong>Guy 2:</strong> Sick!<br /><strong>Guy 1:</strong> I’ll just, like, use my left hand that I don’t eat with.<br /><strong>Guy 2:</strong> What if that pube gets stuck under your fingernail or something?<br /><strong>Guy 1:</strong> This is so nasty, dude.<br /><strong>Guy 2:</strong> Wait! What are you going to do with it once it’s off your chicken?<br /><strong>Guy 1:</strong> Fuckin’ throw it on the floor or something.<br /><strong>Guy 2:</strong> What if it lands on your foot, dude? You’re wearing flip-flops, so that pube would probably, like, get on your toes and you’d be walking in someone’s pubes all day.<br /><strong>Guy 1:</strong> I didn’t think about that. I should just wipe it under the table like old gum.<br /><strong>Guy 2:</strong> Fuck that shit, dude! You’d probably touch some, like, old hooker’s gum or something. Then you’d have pube residue and herpes on your hand.<br /><strong>Guy 1:</strong> Goddamnit.<br /><strong>Guy 2:</strong> I mean, you could just wipe the pube into a napkin, but then you’d be sitting here eating with a pube napkin sitting next to you. Something about that just seems weird.<br /><strong>Guy 1:</strong> This sucks so much, dude.<br /><strong>Guy 2:</strong> Can you just blow the pube off the chicken?<br /><strong>Guy 1:</strong> I’m not blowing on some strange pube, dude.<br /><strong>Guy 2:</strong> It’s probably stuck to the chicken ‘cause of the sauce anyway.<br /><strong>Guy 1:</strong> This is getting ridiculous.<br /><strong>Guy 2:</strong> We shouldn’t have to deal with this kind of thing when we’re trying to eat lunch, man.<br /><strong>Guy 1:</strong> You know what? I’m done. Fuck this. I’m just going to fill up on free soda refills and eat a hot pocket when I get home.<br /><strong>Guy 2:</strong> Good thinking, bro. Abusin’ the free refills. We’re not coming back here, though, I’ll tell you that right now.<br /><strong>Guy 1:</strong> Well, at least not for a while.<br /><strong>Guy 2:</strong> Yeah, we’ll come back when the other cooks are in the kitchen or something—the ones that don’t wipe their helmets on the chicken.<br /><strong>Guy 1:</strong> Do you really think the guy wiped his dick on this chicken?<br /><strong>Guy 2:</strong> How else would he get a pube in there?<br /><strong>Guy 1:</strong> Ugh … Dude, I am drinking—seriously—a gallon of free Dr. Pepper before I leave here today. </span>morbid misanthropehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16530962369422901601noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13125341.post-481305475997402522008-02-28T00:04:00.001-08:002008-02-28T00:06:58.527-08:00R.I.P.

I’m here to install your cable upgrade. Requesting access to your compound here.<br /><strong>MM:</strong> You want me to open the security door to the apartment complex, you mean?<br /><strong>CG:</strong> Yes, sir. That’s exactly what I just said.<br /><strong>MM:</strong> Okay. I’ll input the access codes, granting you entry through the external fortifications momentarily.<br /><strong>CG:</strong> Are you going to open the goddamn door or what?<br /><strong>MM:</strong> Yeah, dude. I’ll be right there. Shit.<br /><strong>CG:</strong> Uh-huh.<br /><strong><em>CLICK<br /></em>MM:</strong> What the fuck?<br /><br />MM opens the security door to meet a tall, disheveled black guy with long dreadlocks and muddy, untied boots.<br /><br /><strong>CG:</strong> What took you so long, sir?<br /><strong>MM:</strong> I’m on the third floor. I had to get down here.<br /><strong>CG:</strong> Well, I’m working according to a point system. I don’t get paid by the hour, so I hope in the future when I ask you for something you comply in a timelier fashion.<br /><br />MM and CG enter the building’s elevator.<br /><br /><strong>MM:</strong> (Surprised) A point system?<br /><strong>CG:</strong> (Sigh) Yes, sir. A point system. For example, installing basic cable is ten points. I have a certain number of job sites to visit in a day, and I get paid by however many points I earn by completing different jobs. In fact, I just received word that I got another job across town I have to add to my route after this one. So, like I said, I don’t have time for games and nonsense.<br /><strong>MM:</strong> That’s rather unorthodox, isn’t it?<br /><strong>CG:</strong> Sir, have you ever worked for a cable company?<br /><strong>MM:</strong> No.<br /><strong>CG:</strong> Then you would have no idea, would you?<br /><strong>MM:</strong> I suppose not. But in the past I’ve dealt with a number of other cable guys, and none of them ever mentioned a point system.<br /><strong>CG:</strong> Well, sir, they were probably just contractors the company paid to take care of a surplus of jobs. I’m an actual employee so my situation is different. I’m in a hurry, so let’s not waste any more time.<br /><strong>MM:</strong> In that case, let me just put this elevator into overdrive so we reach the third floor a lot quicker. If I had known time was of the essence, we could have taken my teleporter.<br /><strong>CG:</strong> (Sigh) You fucking white boys.<br /><strong>MM:</strong> Excuse me?<br /><br />Elevator door opens and CG rushes out, stomping down the hall in the wrong direction.<br /><br /><strong>MM:</strong> My apartment’s over this way, actually.<br /><strong>CG:</strong> You think you’re pretty funny, huh?<br /><strong>MM:</strong> My sense of humor isn’t really something I’m thinking about right now, no.<br /><br />CG and MM enter MM’s room.<br /><br /><strong>CG:</strong> So what is it that you want?<br /><strong>MM:</strong> I’m getting a DVR installed.<br /><strong>CG:</strong> This television doesn’t look high-definition to me.<br /><strong>MM:</strong> That’s because it’s not.<br /><strong>CG:</strong> Well then I can’t help you. You can only have a DVR with a high-definition television.<br /><strong>MM:</strong> That’s strange. My brother, who lives in this very building, has the same TV I have, and he got a DVR about nine months ago.<br /><strong>CG:</strong> Why are you trying to make my job difficult, sir?<br /><strong>MM:</strong> I’m not trying to do anything of the sort.<br /><strong>CG:</strong> Then why did you request a high-definition DVR when you don’t have a high-definition television.<br /><strong>MM:</strong> I never requested a high-definition anything.<br /><br />CG looks around MM's studio apartment, noticing the Cannibal Corpse and Mayhem posters on the otherwise bare walls. (See pictures at the end of the post.)<br /><br /><strong>CG:</strong> Well, I have to go check my van for a non-HD DVR. Come with me, though, because I don’t want to have to wait for you to open the door when I come back up.<br /><strong>MM:</strong> Okay.<br /><br />CG and MM enter the elevator and stand in silence momentarily.<br /><br /><strong>CG:</strong> You fucking crazy white boys, haha.<br /><strong>MM:</strong> Yeah, about that: what do you mean?<br /><strong>CG:</strong> You one of those serial killers, ain’t you?<br /><strong>MM:</strong> No.<br /><strong>CG:</strong> Riiiight … that’s what you say now, but just wait until you be on the news, getting hauled off by the cops for cutting up 20 hookers and keeping them in your freezer. You fucking crazy white boys, haha!<br /><strong>MM:</strong> I assure you, I’ve never killed anybody.<br /><strong>CG:</strong> Yet, you mean. You haven’t killed anybody <em>yet</em>. You white boys always do, though.<br /><strong>MM:</strong> Well, I’ll try not to let my whiteness overwhelm me and kill anybody while you’re here.<br /><strong>CG:</strong> Uh-huh. Haha, crazy white boys!<br /><br />MM and CG walk to the van and CG looks for a non-HD DVR.<br /><br /><strong>CG:</strong> Well, sir, unfortunately, I don’t have a non-HD device for you. I don’t know why you would request an HD box without owning an HD television, but you’re in luck because I have to go back to HQ anyway, so I’ll pick one up and come back.<br /><strong>MM:</strong> I never asked for an HD anything, but I appreciate the fact that you’re going to do your job.<br /><strong>CG:</strong> I hope you <em>appreciate</em> what I’m doing for you here, sir. This is setting me far, far off schedule.<br /><strong>MM:</strong> I’ll call your boss immediately to nominate you for the Cable Guy Medal of Honor.<br /><strong>CG:</strong> I appreciate that, but it wouldn’t help me that much. Be here in exactly 14 minutes to let me back into the building.<br /><br />CG arrives 20 minutes later. <br /><br /><strong>CG:</strong> I hope you’re happy, sir. Now I’m so far behind schedule I don’t know how I’m ever going to catch up.<br /><strong>MM:</strong> Don’t lose hope, dude. Miracles happen.<br /><br />MM and CG enter elevator again.<br /><br /><strong>CG:</strong> So how many people have you killed, exactly?<br /><strong>MM:</strong> Not nearly many as you have, I suspect.<br /><strong>CG:</strong> You white boys is fuckin’ crazy, man. I swear to god!<br /><strong>MM:</strong> Yeah, yeah. We sure are.<br /><strong>CG:</strong> Seriously, I seen all that evil shit you got on your walls.<br /><strong>MM:</strong> So which is more likely to make me a serial killer: the music I listen to or the fact that I was born white?<br /><strong>CG:</strong> One affects the other, sir. Ain’t you never heard of casuality? <em>[<strong>Editor’s note: </strong>We can only assume the cable guy meant causality.]</em><br /><strong>MM:</strong> Isn’t calling one of your customers a serial killer bad for business?<br /><strong>CG:</strong> Haha!<br /><strong>MM:</strong> Actually, isn’t asking a serial killer if he’s a serial killer bad for your health? I mean, suppose I really were a serial killer like you seem to believe. Wouldn’t that put you in some kind of danger? As a serial killer, if I didn’t call you here just to butcher you and turn your skin and reeking viscera into furniture, wouldn’t your constant accusations be reason enough for me to kill you just to ensure your silence and my continued freedom? Just what kind of stupid, lead-dense motherfucker goes around pissing off serial killers in their own homes?<br /><strong>CG:</strong> Haha! You crazy, white motherfucker!<br /><strong>MM:</strong> Dude, you are so incredibly lucky I only kill syphilitic hookers that remind me of my mother.<br /><strong>CG:</strong> (Nervously) Hehe … ahem.<br /><br />From that point on, CG installed the DVR in almost total, nervous silence, occasionally muttering to himself about how late he was.<br /><br /><strong>CG:</strong> Well, that will do it, sir. Again, I’d like to mention how much trouble this all was for me.<br /><strong>MM:</strong> Uh-huh. Do you want a tip or something?<br /><strong>CG:</strong> After all the trouble I went through to hook you up here today, sir, and you have to ask me something like that? I mean, look here: I used the good cable to hook up your DVR. Technically, we’re not even required to use the good cables, but I did. You know, that shit ain’t free. That wire’s about 20 dollars per foot, and to make sure your reception was perfect I used about a foot and a half of it. I didn’t have to—in fact, the guy the installed your cable here initially used the cheap stuff. I fixed his sloppy job and hooked you up good, sir.<br /><strong>MM:</strong> So, what do you want? 30 bucks?<br /><strong>CG:</strong> (Smiling) I did use the good cable, sir. And I’m so far behind now things are going to be difficult for me the rest of the day. I’ll probably end up working late and everything.<br /><strong>MM:</strong> I see. Well, I got something better for you. Something infinitely better than money.<br /><strong>CG:</strong> What do you mean, sir?<br /><strong>MM:</strong> (Walking over to the freezer in the kitchen) I got something much, much better for you, pal. Hahahaha.<br /><strong>CG:</strong> Uh, well, you know, I better get going, actually.<br /><strong>MM:</strong> (Pulling out a freezer bag full of ground beef) You like white girls, don’t you?<br /><strong>CG:</strong> (Already in the hallway) The paperwork’s on the floor, sir. Have a nice day.</span><br /><div><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span></div><br /><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5168523244142800082" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhI4DDeCb9HX6mhFApCuDp9p5gIKsk_ymfwZaISkRnIUYdJFzr_C82wyHmug8OibX-q6L5di7lZkqL4CBhVH9cFJtBuHbumlW1fM_OjDun7-8qcgNXwLgcPEUV4ySNbnf5wLOnLCw/s400/morbs-posters.jpg" border="0" /></div>morbid misanthropehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16530962369422901601noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13125341.post-28452267390347106452008-02-03T21:03:00.000-08:002008-02-03T21:06:16.962-08:00R.I.P.<a href="http://www.myspace.com/decapitated" target="_blank"><img src="http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a219/nbusa/2007%20MYSPACE%20BAND%20PAGES/Decapitated/VitekCovanCharityFund.jpg" border="0" alt="RIP - Vitek" /></a>morbid misanthropehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16530962369422901601noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13125341.post-81704007425990471612008-01-20T19:15:00.000-08:002008-01-20T19:19:04.769-08:00Answering a Letter<span style="font-family:arial;">Dear Morb:<br /><br />I read your blog a lot and have noticed a disturbing trend: You seem to hate Apple computers and all of their other products (iPods, iTunes, etc.). What gives, man? Apple is awesome! Apple computers are, like, hip and stuff—unlike those stuffy PCs and their lame-o grey cases. Dude, Apple computers come in different colors and stuff. Oh yeah, and the mouse only has one button! That’s amazing! Plus I’ve heard that Macs have better graphics or something, and when they break you just throw them away and buy a new one! Damn, that Steve Jobs is a genius. I wish he’s rub his hipster neck stubble on my naked balls. Anyway, PCs are for, like, conformist, unimaginative sheep. Macs are for all of us free-thinking nonconformists. You don’t seem like a conformist, Morb, so you should buy a Mac like the rest of us.<br /><br />Anyway, with the recent Macworld came another mind-blowing announcement from the super-studly, turtleneck shirt-wearing man himself; and even <em>you</em> have to admit the new MacBook Air is incredible. Dude, it’s sooooooo small. It’s so small it can fit in a manila envelope. A manila envelope, man! That’s amazing! It’s so sexy I’d like to lube it up with my own saliva and cram it into my ass! It’s so sleek it would probably only hurt a little and make me bleed even less!<br /><br />So, seriously, you’re going to convert and buy the new MacBook Air, right?<br /><br />Sincerely,<br /><br />Mac Fag # 1!<br /><br /><br /><br />Dear Mac Fag:<br /><br />No. No, I’m not going to buy a MacBook Air or any other piece of Apple trash, for that matter. I have Zippo lighters more technologically advanced than the MacBook Air. Call me a conformist, but I think I’ll stick with my custom-built PC that I can upgrade however I want whenever I feel like it.<br /><br />The MacBook Air is just another inferior piece of computer technology with barely enough power to rival the broken Speak ‘n’ Spell the helmet-wearing retard down the street uses to induce the time-travel concussions he’s so fond of. But none of that really matters to you because the damned thing looks so cool and sexy and Steve Blowjobs is so hip. Why not save yourself a couple thousand bucks and slap an Apple sticker on a smooth river rock and cram that up yourself?<br /><br />By the way, you know what else fits in a manila envelope? Love letters to Hitler. Just sayin’.<br /><br />Cordially,<br /><br />MM </span>morbid misanthropehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16530962369422901601noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13125341.post-85416637744602540132007-12-16T23:13:00.000-08:002007-12-17T02:13:46.004-08:00A Merry Christmas Miracle: A Christmas Story<em><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong>From the desk of Morbid Misanthrope:</strong><br /><br />Because I’m very busy with work right now, I don’t have time to post much of anything new. Christmas is coming up, though, so I thought I would spread some holiday cheer with one of my favorite Christmas stories. I seem to recall my Grandmother reading me this story around the holidays as a child, when my mother got trashed swilling spiked eggnog and my meth-loving father started wailing on her with the cordless phone. Grandmother would read me this story and then hand me a sharpened Christmas tree branch, telling me to stab myself in the throat with it rather than burn to death in my locked room should the house catch on fire when dad’s meth lab exploded again. Or maybe I just made it up last Christmas shortly before getting rushed to the emergency room with a severe case of pancreatitis. Anyway, it’s a beautiful story, so please enjoy. Merry Christmas.<br /><br />Cordially,<br /><br />MM</span></em><br /><em><span style="font-family:arial;"></span></em><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Tim M. Throrpe stomped down the street as a cold winter wind blew through the bustling city of Settingsville, California. Though much smaller than urban metropolises like San Francisco or Los Angeles, Settingsville was a busy center of commerce in its own right, even being home to the state’s second- largest slaughterhouse and used plastic tarp emporium. Tim had recently relocated to Settingsville from another distant state to take an important job at the city’s premiere law firm. Tim was a very important person to be sure, but this important and high-paying job left him with little time for a personal life. His family all lived far away, he had no friends, and he spent more time at the office than he did in his fancy apartment.<br /><br />As Tim stormed down the tree-lined streets, briefcase grasped firmly in his clenched fist, he screamed angrily into his cell phone.<br /><br />“What do you mean the car needs a new goddamned engine?” he barked into his phone, a fine mist of angry spittle spraying from his gaping maw. “When was the oil changed last? How the fuck should I know that? I’m an important lawyer! I don’t have time for oil! I don’t even have time for Christmas!”<br /><br />Tim was right about Christmas. In the few moments of free time he’d had in the last few weeks, he realized Christmas was quickly approaching. Whenever he mentioned taking a day off for Christmas, his bosses were fond of laughing and saying, “Tim, there’s no time for Christmas—not when you’re an important lawyer!”<br /><br />Tim always shrugged and nodded in agreement, though he often thought to himself, “That’s easy for you to say, you all celebrate Hanukah!” And even though Tim was always very dedicated to his career, he couldn’t help but wish he would be able to take some time, just a day, to celebrate Christmas—his favorite holiday growing up.<br /><br />“Listen, Pedro! You better get my car working immediately or I’ll have la migra kicking down your door and hauling your ass back to El Salvador before you can say Feliz Navidad!” Tim bellowed. “I don’t care if your name is Tony and you’re from New Jersey, just get my car working by tomorrow morning or you’ll be sorry. I’m an important lawyer!”<br /><br />Tim hung up his phone in a huff and shoved it into his coat pocket. With his car in the shop and a flap of murders related to rogue cab drivers stalking the streets and picking up unsuspecting victims, Tim had no choice but to take the bus to work.<br /><br />“How humiliating,” Tim thought, “to take the bus like some kind of commoner. I’m an important lawyer, goddamnit! The bus is for pregnant waitresses and video store clerks!”<br /><br />Tim stomped along, muttering to himself and lighting an expensive cigarette. After all, regular cigarettes were for bus boys and unemployed musicians. He was an important lawyer, and even his cigarettes should reflect his high status.<br /><br />Tim came to the first bus stop he saw and sat down angrily on the empty, graffiti-covered bench. There he sat alone for several minutes, smoking his fancy cigarette and grumbling to himself, until an old man hobbled up to the bench and sat down beside him.<br /><br />“Oh, fantastic,” Tim thought. “This old guy will probably have cat-food breath. God, I hate old people.”<br /><br />Tim took a long drag from his cigarette, threw the butt down, and exhaled the smoke in a long, audible sigh. Glancing over quickly to make sure the old man hadn’t died suddenly, Tim noticed the old man was smiling at him.<br /><br />“Say there, sonny,” the smiling old man said, “those are some mighty fancy cigarettes. You must be a very important person to be able to afford cigarettes like those. You know, I smoke a pipe myself. Not so much these days, though. You might as well be a filthy Nazi the way people treat you if you smoke these days. Plus, my wife hates the smell.”<br /><br />“Yes, well, I’m an important lawyer, you see, so I can smoke whatever I want,” Tim said coldly, hoping to discourage the old man from further conversation. Much to Tim’s dismay, however, the old man just continued smiling and making small talk.<br /><br />“An important lawyer, you say? Well, young man, that’s mighty impressive. Hey now, why is someone so important taking the bus?”<br /><br />“Well, old man, not that it’s any of your business, but my car is in the shop right now, so I can’t drive …”<br /><br />“I see,” the old man interrupted, “and because of those rogue-cabbie murders going on right now, you’re too cautious to take a cab. Am I right?” the old man asked.<br /><br />“Yes, of course,” Tim replied grumpily. “Normally I would never have to utilize public transportation, but this strange convergence of extenuating circumstances has really left me with no other option.”<br /><br />The old man chuckled, his cheeks rosy with merriment. Although Tim usually hated old people, for some reason this pleasant old man seemed strangely familiar to him. Just making inane small talk with the jolly old fellow seemed comforting somehow.<br /><br />A few moments of silence passed before the old man spoke again.<br /><br />“So … what does a big, important lawyer do with his time off for Christmas, I wonder.”<br /><br />“Well, if big, important lawyers are really as big and important as they’d like to believe they are, they wouldn’t have any time off for Christmas,” Tim snorted.<br /><br />“Gee, sonny,” the old man said with a hint of regret in his voice, “you mean to tell me you don’t get any time off for Christmas?”<br /><br />“Bah! There’s no time for Christmas—not when you’re an important lawyer,” Tim said, crossing his arms and turning up his nose in inflated self importance.<br /><br />“My, my!” the old man exclaimed. “Do you really believe that, or have you just resigned yourself to it because you have no choice?”<br /><br />Tim was surprised by the old man’s response. It was true. Tim really did wish he had more time to enjoy Christmas. He remembered all the Christmases of his youth, spent with family and friends: big dinners, blinking lights, and warm fires lighting the room as the family gathered around the festively decorated Christmas tree on Christmas morning.<br /><br />“I … I …” Tim stuttered. “Hmmmph! Even if I wanted time off for Christmas and wasn’t so busy, all my family lives very far away and I have no friends in this city. I don’t know why I’m telling you this, but I used to love Christmas. But with my new job as an important lawyer and being so alone here, it just doesn’t feel like Christmas, anyway.”<br /><br />“There’s nothing that I hate more than someone losing the Christmas spirit,” the old man said, shaking his head.<br /><br />“I hadn’t thought of it that way,” Tim said sadly. “I just remember how much I loved Christmas as a kid—the family gatherings, huge holiday dinners, snow, and Christmas decorations—and think I’ll never feel that way again. But, you know, we all have to grow up some time.”<br /><br />The old man patted Tim on the shoulder.<br /><br />“Now, Tim, just because people grow up and become hotshot lawyers doesn’t mean they can’t have the Christmas Spirit.”<br /><br />Tim was surprised. He looked at the old man in disbelief.<br /><br />“Hey, I never told you my name! How did you know my name was Tim?” he said in amazement.<br /><br />“Everyone should be able to enjoy Christmas, you know,” the old man said, stroking his long, white beard. “I know it’s been many years since you really felt the Christmas Spirit, and I know you have to work alone on Christmas, but maybe, just maybe, it will feel a bit more like Christmas to you this year.”<br /><br />Tim stared at the old man, who was now laughing boisterously with both of his hands patting his jiggling belly. The whole scene seemed strange to Tim, yet oddly familiar. As the old man continued laughing, Tim felt a cold sensation on his nose. That singular cold sensation on his nose was soon joined by other icy droplets on the surface of Tim’s skin. Tim couldn’t believe what was happening.<br /><br />“Oh my god!” Tim gasped. “It’s … it’s snowing. It’s snowing in Settingsville, California. It never snows here. This is incredible!”<br /><br />“Ho, ho, ho!” the old man laughed. “This must be a Christmas miracle. A white Christmas is a white Christmas, even from behind an office window at a big law firm, Timmy.”<br /><br />“Who are you?” Tim asked the old man in shock as snow began to fall more and more heavily.<br /><br />“Ho, ho, ho! That’s not important, Timmy,” the old man said, his cheeks rosy from the laughter. “Just have a merry Christmas!”<br /><br />The old man got up and started to walk away, but Tim grabbed his arm to stop him.<br /><br />“Wait just a minute!” Tim said. “I know who you are! You’re Santa Claus, and you came all the way from the North Pole to make it snow for me, didn’t you?”<br /><br />The old man smiled knowingly.<br /><br />“You know, Tim, I have to work this Christmas, too. I always work on Christmas and Christmas Eve. I really must be going, so you have a merry Christmas and enjoy the snow.”<br /><br />The old man tried to walk away, but again Tim grabbed his arm and stopped him.<br /><br />“Did I not just get done telling you how I don’t have a car right now?” Tim asked.<br /><br />“Well, yes …”<br /><br />“Am I not sitting here at the bus stop, wearing nothing but an expensive suit, waiting for the bus to take me to work?”<br /><br />“You are indeed, Tim, but I really need to get going …”<br /><br />“Now you listen here!” Tim snarled angrily. “Thanks to you, now I have to wait for the goddamned bus in the goddamned snow! My suit is going to get ruined, you shithead!” Tim screamed at a surprised Santa Claus.<br /><br />“Now, now, Timmy, it’s almost Christmas. Don’t you want to feel that Christmas spirit again, like you did when you were a kid?” Santa said nervously.<br /><br />“All I’m going to feel,” Tim growled, “is cold and wet, you moron! I’m wearing an Armani suit and Berluti loafers, not a fucking Eskimo coat and fucking shiny, yellow galoshes! And what the hell is going to happen to the city? It never snows here. This snow is going to cause all sorts of problems! How am I supposed to get to the office if the bus is up to its axles in magic snow? This kind of climatological confusion will make that windbag Al Gore shit a polar bear! What then, prick? Another <em>Inconvenient Truth</em>? Nobody wants to sit through that crap!”<br /><br />“How dare you talk to Santa Claus that way!” Santa gasped. “Such filthy language, too! I knew you were a naughty boy this year, but I wanted to do something nice for you since you’re so alone and pathetic. I give you a Christmas miracle and you just swear at me! You ought to be ashamed!”<br /><br />“Just how the hell is a snow storm in California supposed to be a Christmas miracle or an accurate physical representation of an intangible concept like Christmas spirit? That’s just fucking stupid!” Tim yelled, lighting another cigarette.<br /><br />“You ungrateful bastard! I don’t have to listen to this crap! I’m leaving. I hope those faggy cigarettes give you colon cancer, you prick!” Santa said, walking away angrily.<br /><br />“Yeah, don’t stop the snow or anything, either. This day obviously isn’t going to get any better!” Tim shouted at Santa Claus. “And if I ever catch you coming down my chimney, I’m going to put so many bullets in your ass you’ll be shitting toxic paint that makes children retarded!”<br /><br />“You don’t have a chimney, stupid! You live in an apartment. And I wouldn’t visit your place on Christmas Eve if a naked Jessica Alba with sugar cookie nipples and a gumdrop G-Spot was sitting on your sofa. You asshole!” Santa yelled back at the furious lawyer.<br /><br />“Go fuck yourself with a reindeer antler, you creepy, antiquated holiday mascot!” Tim screamed, jumping up and down in the quickly accumulating snow on the ground.<br /><br />And as the angry shouts filled the air, snow continued to fall from the heavens. A few days later it was still snowing, and everyone inside on Christmas morning, opening gifts with loved ones by their environmentally friendly space heaters, had a magical Christmas indeed. Everyone, that is, except Tim, who stole a dashiki and a bongo drum and celebrated Kwanzaa.<br />The End </span>morbid misanthropehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16530962369422901601noreply@blogger.com14tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13125341.post-79136740219655622082007-11-22T17:09:00.001-08:002007-11-22T17:10:18.522-08:00Happy Thanksgiving<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCyH6POxtDvBCjXJwWq2MbI_gXNDVwbrr5iAtMuvrFLF2tATAEKHcmvsw2R9Ubd07a-u8PDx-L92BDIDuf_YDNaN5vI4sZZCDsxA_oyjvbFCpvYnSQMKlO86tyi28Q6eCP-Sg_xw/s1600-h/thanksgiving2007.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5135836857128212242" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCyH6POxtDvBCjXJwWq2MbI_gXNDVwbrr5iAtMuvrFLF2tATAEKHcmvsw2R9Ubd07a-u8PDx-L92BDIDuf_YDNaN5vI4sZZCDsxA_oyjvbFCpvYnSQMKlO86tyi28Q6eCP-Sg_xw/s400/thanksgiving2007.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div>morbid misanthropehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16530962369422901601noreply@blogger.com16tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13125341.post-20387171211778573882007-11-11T21:12:00.000-08:002007-11-11T21:38:29.356-08:00Egads, I've been tagged!<span style="font-family:arial;">Much like the side of a building in the ghetto, where crack flows like screw-top wine, I’ve been tagged. (Whoooo! Three stereotypes in the first sentence—I’m off to a great start!) The whole concept of tagging on the blogosphere is interesting. Allow me to illustrate the abstract concept of the tagger–tagee relationship with the help of an Aristotelian dialog:<br /><br />“Hey, pal! I’ve just tagged you!”<br />“Tits, bro. What do I get?”<br />“You get to answer all these questions!”<br />“You gave me a test, basically, is what you’re saying?”<br />“Yeah, when you look at it that way, I suppose I did.”<br />“Well, check this out. I’ve just pricked you, dude!”<br />“What’s that mean?”<br />“It means I just injected you with a syringe full of baboon malaria. Now we’re even.”<br />“Can I blog about this?”<br />“Well, I sort of assumed you would.”<br />“Neat!”<br /><br />And so it goes, from person to person, like a more horrifying version of that stupid tape from those <em>Ring</em> movies. What’s with that shit, by the way? Japanese people are afraid of pale, attention-hungry teenage girls? If that’s the case, we could have just dropped a chain of Hot Topic stores on them during WWII instead of those nukes. But I digress.<br /><br /><a href="http://prunella-de-ville.blogspot.com/">Prunella Jones</a>—or Pru, as all the cool kids refer to her—tagged me a while back. Since I’m a fan of her blog, and I’m such a classy bastard, I decided to complete the tag rather than just ignore it like I’ve been ignoring all those dead Mormons <em>someone’s</em> been leaving at my door.<br /><br />Since everyone loves lists (just ask the dildos in charge of programming at VH1), here’s a list of seven random facts about me. <em>[Editor’s note: The veracity of Morb’s claims cannot be guaranteed.]<br /></em><br /><strong>1: I’ve been in a lot of bands.<br /></strong><br />One of the bands I was in was fronted, unbeknownst to me, by an escaped mental patient. I only found out later when he disappeared and authorities from his institution showed up asking about him. Apparently he was violent and escaped after breaking a table over some people.<br /><br />I was in a band, for a short time, with a guy who drove a hearse and made extra money participating in underground fights. He disappeared.<br /><br />One of the bands I was in had a sort of joke mythology based around their various bass players, claiming they were all, once they joined the band, the reincarnation of a Tibetan monk. When I joined, I assumed that role. At one point I even signed autographs in Chinese.<br /><br /><strong>2: I was a model student.<br /></strong><br />I graduated from college with highest honors, meaning I had a gpa of 4.0 and perfect attendance. When I graduated I got to wear two golden ropes. At the time I thought they just gave me those ropes because they were too cheap to pony up some Chucky Cheese tokens for my grades, but I later realized the gold ropes were to hang myself with when my awesome grades wouldn’t get me a decent job.<br /><br /><strong>3: I like books.</strong><br /><br />I read a lot. In fact, the majority of my free time is dedicated to reading. I’m really just a book nerd, to be completely honest. Were I a rich man, I would probably have all kinds of first editions like that old Satan worshiper from <em>The Ninth Gate</em>. While my collection is humble to say the least, I have an out-of-print edition of Musashi’s <em>Go Rin No Sho</em> from 1974 that’s pretty sweet, and I just got a first edition copy of <em>The Interrupted Journey</em> (yes, that’s the book about the Hill alien abduction case from the 1960s).<br /><br />I do like classic literature—everything from <em>David Copperfield</em> to <em>The Canterbury Tales</em>—but right now I’m really into collecting old, obscure occult and UFO/lost civilization/cryptozoology–related books. By the way, if anyone has a copy of Keel’s <em>The Eighth Tower</em> (1975) they’d be willing to part with for less than twenty-five bucks, please send me an e-mail. I could just order it from amazon.com, but I don’t want to spend the amount they’re asking. I’m a smart shopper, goddamnit.<br /><br /><strong>4: It’s not about me, but it’s a fact.</strong><br /><br /><em>It is always better<br />to avenge dear ones than to indulge in mourning.<br />For every one of us, living in this world<br />means waiting for our end. Let whoever can<br />win glory before death. When a warrior is gone,<br />that will be his best and only bulwark.</em><br /><br /><strong>5: I like alcohol.<br /></strong><br />I used to drink a gallon of whiskey every weekend.<br /><br /><strong>6: I think this is funny for some reason.<br /></strong></span><div><div><br /><br /><br /><div><span style="font-family:arial;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5131820721897502210" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMopmdqM1eC6fgepantAidOYt_ZnrcoPDgLhNcGcz2Ca3c3XNRZWIBRGSEwZKbQ7zX0jGUpZSy6xR6sUvRjk8fjRWOU-SH_YcTrkIdxs47QAUD8pch7A63zTFEvYkCWj1_TG9zxA/s400/FunnyTowerofLondon.jpg" border="0" /><br /><strong>7: I accidentally conjured some spooky shit one time.<br /></strong><br />I was minding my own business, reading a copy of the <em>Necronomicon</em> I found in the discount bin at the bookstore. Some of the incantations in the book are so ridiculous, I was reading them out loud and having a good laugh. I mean, “zi dingir enmeshir raa kanpa” sounds like a retarded hairlip trying to order Thai food or something. But, suddenly, to my surprise and irritation, someone was in the room with me. I was able to snap a picture with my camera phone.</span></div><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5131821391912400418" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 230px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 223px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" height="277" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaIXzwU1WKhFU8YnPikzY6PGrSccYsBkpda1tISmgvEcJpzlOPa4TMfnMgZPqsczan5kJwByLAHd4aU3AeOFZjLBT9Z2BJRMoxcr5fq6KSQILG0C9zmsmKm3_nop-h_IzBGKTgkw/s400/bentonniggurath2.jpg" width="309" border="0" /><br /><div><span style="font-family:arial;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong>Azag-Thoth:</strong> You conjured me, mortal?<br /><strong>Morbid Misanthrope:</strong> Excuse me?<br /><strong>AT:</strong> Oh, come on! Don’t tell me you’re just another loser dabbling in the occult in his mom’s basement. Because, seriously, I’ve seen more of that action than I’d care to admit.<br /><strong>MM:</strong> Who are you, and what are you doing in my apartment?<br /><strong>AT:</strong> Your own apartment?

I’d settle for the neighborhood, though. Can I at least rain down fire, pestilence, and madness on your neighborhood?<br /><strong>MM:</strong> Be my guest, but there’s a meth lab next door and a creek full of homeless junkies talking to themselves and surviving on nothing but urine and toenails. I don’t think anyone would notice.<br /><strong>AT:</strong> Well, I’m here. You conjured me. I ought to do something.<br /><strong>MM:</strong> You can explain to me how a fictional book written by H.P. Lovecraft enthusiasts less than one hundred years ago is ancient or powerful.<br /><strong>AT:</strong> To make a long story short, it’s kind of like that Lovecraft story, “Pickman’s Model.”<br /><strong>MM:</strong> You mean how the subjects of the terrifying works of art Pickman painted came from reality rather than his own imagination?<br /><strong>AT:</strong> Essentially, yeah.<br /><strong>MM:</strong> That was a fucking cool story.<br /><strong>AT:</strong> Wasn’t it?<br /><strong>MM:</strong> Well, I suppose you are magic, otherwise you wouldn’t have been able to bypass all my dangerous ninja traps getting in here.<br /><strong>AT:</strong> You mean those empty soda cans tied together with dental floss hanging from your doorknob?<br /><strong>MM:</strong> Hey, if you’re real, does that mean all those other ancient gods are real too? Like, do you, Dagon, Cthulhu, and Shub-Niggurath have a poker night or something?<br /><strong>AT:</strong> Cthulhu's been a big-headed prick ever since Metallica wrote that song about him. You can’t even talk to that asshole without going through his publicist these days. Dagon, well, he’s a big, gay bitch—like Aquaman with tentacles and shit. And I haven’t seen Shub since the supreme court ruled she had to drop Niggurath from her name because it was offensive to black people. The last time anyone saw her, she was swilling gin and threatening to kick Jesse Jackson’s ass with Al Sharpton’s foot. She pretty much abandoned her thousand young—a fuckin’ tragedy, that’s what it is.<br /><strong>MM:</strong> Sounds like the realm of the ancient ones is a car crash away from being a shitty episode of <em>VH1’s Behind the Music</em>.<br /><strong>AT:</strong> Thanks, asshole. I’m not sensitive about it or anything. You wanna make fun of all the weight I’ve gained in the last thousand years, too? Hey, maybe you can call my wife and make fun of my limp dick with her. I bet she’d love that!<br /><strong>MM:</strong> Wow. Sorry, dude. I didn’t think a blind, mad god would be so tender-hearted.<br /><strong>AT:</strong> You know what? Fuck you, pal! Okay? Just fuck you! In fact: Barra Ante Malda! Bam! The milk in your fridge is now spoiled, and all your new batteries are dead. How’s that for evil, you prick?<br /><strong>MM:</strong> It’s more rude than evil, really.<br /><strong>AT:</strong> Whatever, ass. If my whore wife comes looking for me, tell her I’m at Boston Market, eating meatloaf that isn’t all dry and shitty for a change!<br /><br />And then he disappeared and I haven’t heard from him since.<br /><br />That completes my obligations as a tagee, and because I’m such a goddamned rebel, I’m not tagging anyone. How’s that for anti-social behavior?

When the sun goes down, costumed children hit the streets looking for nothing more than frightful fun and bagfuls of bite-sized candy treats. This year, however, in a small town about forty-five minutes away from San Francisco, one man bordering on deranged turned frightful fun into real scares.<br /><br />At approximately 8:00 p.m. Halloween night, an as-yet-unidentified man verbally attacked and terrified tick-or-treaters prowling the neighborhoods just trying to enjoy the traditional Halloween festivities.<br /><br />“He was screaming at my son like some kind of madman,” said Clara Padilla, mother of five trick-or-treaters present when the incident occurred. “He was flailing around and swearing like crazy. I haven’t seen anyone so enraged since my brother got deported when the police busted him shooting PCP into his groin.”<br /><br />According to Padilla and other witnesses, as their group of trick-or-treaters crossed the street, someone in a car that had to stop for them began honking the horn repeatedly. Although it was too dark to tell what kind of car the man was driving, all the witnesses could clearly hear “blasting death metal” coming from the vehicle.<br /><br />Suddenly, the man “leapt” from his vehicle “like some kind of demon” and started screaming at the group of costumed children. He was apparently impatient after having to wait for so many people crossing the street as he drove.<br /><br />“The man was scary,” said little Jose Padilla, who was dressed like a vampire and was the first child the crazed man verbally assaulted. “He wasn’t wearing a costume, but he, like, looked all crazy. His eyes were all bug-eyed like my Uncle’s when he got arrested. He smelled like cigarettes.”<br /><br />According to witnesses present, the madman screamed a string of obscenities and threats at the children, who were so terrified they could barely move.<br /><br />“He said, um, ‘get out of my f—ing way, you stupid little candy beggars! Why don’t you buy candy like goddamned everybody else?’” said Lucinda Morales, another parent at the scene. “He was using such terrible language. I’ve asked everyone I know, and no one has any idea what a ‘twattergob-bobbing meat plunger’ is. I just can’t believe this guy was so mad at us for hanging around in the street. I mean, he could wait. We were just having fun, you know? It was Halloween and stuff.”<br /><br />Witnesses say he also spent a good five minutes screaming about proper pedestrian-driver etiquette, including: “You a—holes look like you’ve never seen a car before. The concept is simple. I’m driving a two-ton death machine and you’re in front of me in the street. You pricks too good for the sidewalk, are you? It’s only by the f—ing grace of f—ing god that I even stopped. I could have plowed through you little DNA bubbles without feeling bad. In fact, I probably would have been laughing. I think that s—t’s funny as hell!”<br /><br />He went on to insult the children’s costumes as well, reducing several of them to tears.<br /><br />“He said I was the gayest power ranger he had ever seen,” said a nine-year-old present who wished to remain anonymous. “He told me I might as well just move to Vermont with my little homo vampire friend so my father can kill himself in shame sooner rather than later. He said they wouldn’t let gays into Clown College, so I had better keep it in the closet until the AIDS makes me look like a skeleton and everyone figures out what I’ve been up to. I don’t know what’s going on. I just wanted free candy!” <br /><br />The unknown assailant also called a twelve-year-old girl dressed as a ballerina a “fat, sin-impregnated whore,” an eight-year-old dressed as a ninja a “f—ing poseur,” a ten-year-old in a wheelchair dressed as Frankenstein a “green gimp retard,” and a nine-year-old African-American child dressed as an NBA star a “racist joke too easy to make.”<br /><br />Parents stood by in awe as the scene unfolded, all too shocked and afraid to move.<br /><br />“I thought he was, like, on drugs or something,” said parent Charlie James. “It looked like his head was gonna pop.” In spite of his fear, however, Mr. James walked over to the screaming man and told him to shut up. At that point, the crazed man kicked Mr. James in the head, screaming “Look what he made me do? Anyone else want to get f—ed up? Huh? I’ve killed before and I’ll kill again!”<br /><br />At this point, one brave child offered her bag of candy to the screaming, and now dangerous, man, hoping to pacify him. Surprisingly, this moving gesture only enraged the man further. He shrieked and kicked the bag out of the small girl’s hands, screaming “Trying to put me in a coma, huh? You’re not going to kill me that easily! I’ll kick you around like an organ-filled trash bag before I let you trick me! I’m a crafty diabetic with good eyesight!” <em>[Editor’s Note: Sometimes diabetics lose eyesight due to the disease.]</em><br /><br />He then hopped back into his car, tearing off at a high rate of speed, still screaming threats as he sped away.<br /><br />“It was the worst Halloween ever,” said Clara Padilla, shaking her head. “What kind of person would threaten children like that? It’s just unimaginable.”<br /><br /><strong>Crazed Man Strikes Again?<br /></strong><em>By Max Bojo<br />Associated Press (11-01-07)<br /></em><br />After the neighborhood suffered a terrifying Halloween at the hands of a rabid madman, all anyone wanted was to try to forget about the horrible night and move on. Unfortunately, the scares weren’t over for the neighborhood just because Halloween was.<br /><br />At approximately 12:30 p.m., lunchtime at the local middle school, a crazed madman—very likely the same man that terrorized children Halloween night—showed up and started attacking children as they ate lunch and played kickball.<br /><br />School faculty was shocked to see a “grown man, wearing all black, and smoking cigarettes” hop over the playground fence and approach the playing children.<br /><br />“Our first thought was that another pervert was after the kids, but soon it became apparent that he wasn’t a pervert—just a lunatic,” said Principal Blake.<br /><br />The man was heard screaming obscenities and threats. School surveillance cameras caught audio of the incident even though the assailant was somehow able to avoid appearing on film. What follows is a partial transcript of that tape’s audio:<br /><br /><strong>Crazed Man:</strong> (apparently grabbing the kickball) “Hey, you little bastards. It’s not so easy to play your little game with someone in the way, is it?”<br /><strong>Child:</strong> “What?”<br /><strong>Crazed Man:</strong> “Yeah, just like it’s not easy to drive home with a bunch of little retarded candy beggars in the middle of the street! How do you idiots like it?”<br /><strong>Child:</strong> “Leave us alone!”<br /><strong>Crazed Man:</strong> (apparently stabbing the kickball with a knife) “Suffer, fools!”<br /><br />The crazed man then started kicking over lunch tables where kids were eating. He was heard laughing maniacally and saying, “Can’t enjoy your f—ing spaghetti without a table, can you? Well, I can’t f—ing drive with a bunch of imbeciles high on candy handouts blocking the way! This may be a public school, but you’ll learn something today, goddamnit! Even if you never learn to read! I’m talking to you, Jose Padilla!”<br /><br />After breaking things, scaring children, and ranting for just under five minutes, the madman was gone as quickly as he appeared. The police are questioning witnesses, but so far have no leads.<br /><br /><strong>Letter to the Editor<br /></strong><em>Anonymous (11-02-07)<br /></em><br />This whole thing is just awful, really. Those poor kids. What a shame.<br /><br />Anyway, I’m not excusing this "crazy" but undoubtedly handsome guy, but we can’t judge him until we understand his situation. Now, I wasn’t around when he was supposedly terrifying those kids Halloween night, but I was driving home from work at about that time. I did notice a lot of kids messing around in the streets. To be perfectly honest, it was infuriating.<br /><br />Everywhere I drove I had to wait for caravans of people to cross the street. They were really taking their time, too. I mean, it wasn’t like they were just crossing and getting it over with. They were practically loitering in the street. (Loitering is a crime, so maybe this “crazed man” is really a kind of crimefighter—just a thought.) Some kids were even purposely walking in the street, blocking traffic because they think Halloween gives them a free pass to act like morons. It was maddening.<br /><br />And the parents were no better. They weren’t watching their kids or anything. They were just walking around all slack-jawed and lackadaisical, letting Jr. do whatever he wanted. Man! How many kids did these people have? I counted seven or eight in some cases. That’s just irresponsible. (It’s like they bussed in a border town or something, but that’s beside the point.) Also, I doubt he called the black kid a “racist joke too easy to make.” He probably said something more like “Hey, try not to rape any psychotic girls out there tonight, Kobe.” I don’t know. Something clever like that. It seems like that would be more his style. <br /><br />Anyway, perhaps this “crazed man” just had a rough day at the office and wanted to get home to watch TV. Let’s say, hypothetically, he wanted to catch the <em>Ghost Hunters</em> live investigation on the Sci-Fi network and enjoy a low-carb frozen dinner. These people, by rudely blocking the streets, were disrespecting him and ruining his schedule. I can understand being upset by that, I really can.<br /><br />Who knows? Maybe he went a little overboard because he had just gotten a flu shot and was a little out of it, and maybe his blood sugar was low. We really just don’t know. He obviously had his reasons for doing what he did. And he didn’t hurt anyone. He did kick that one guy, but that guy started it really. It was self-defense.<br /><br />And even though tearing up a school is an unorthodox way to do things, I’ll bet those kids never play in the street again. That’s worth something, right? If their fat, sweatsuit-wearing parents won’t teach them anything, someone should, right? And I don’t want to get going about the school system’s failures, but, come on, let’s be honest: those kids learned more in five minutes from the “crazed man” than they’ll learn at that school in the next five years.<br /><br />Look, I’m not saying we should build this guy a statue or something, but when you really think about it, he probably did some good. And I really think we should all stop calling him “crazed,” “lunatic,” and “madman.” How does misunderstood genius sound? Revolutionary thinker? If it were up to me, the police would stop looking for the guy and just let the whole “incident” slide. It’s all over now. I’m sure he’s not going to do anything else (provided everyone respects pedestrian-driver etiquette). Let’s just all move on and let it go. </span>morbid misanthropehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16530962369422901601noreply@blogger.com15tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13125341.post-49290933555934022252007-10-13T23:21:00.000-07:002007-10-14T00:45:14.090-07:00Taxicab Conversations<span style="font-family:arial;"><strong><em><span style="font-size:+0;"></span><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong><em></em></strong></span>CALL ONE</em></strong><br /></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong>Phone Operator 1:</strong> <em>Brand A Cab Company</em>, how can I help you?<br /><strong>Morbid Misanthrope:</strong> Hello, I need a cab to pick me up again tomorrow at 9:30 am.<br /><strong>PO1:</strong> Uh-huh.

This requires taking classes on proper food handling, followed by tests to prove you’re competent enough to provide the public with edibles that won’t leave them shitbarfing for a month. This training process tends to be a little on the lengthy side, but, thankfully, Yakov isn’t one to jeopardize profit-earning potential to satisfy another paranoid government regulatory department.<br /><br />Instead of making his employees take all the normal food-safety courses, Yakov requires all new employees to watch a bunch of Food Network shows he recorded on his nephew’s Tivo. The list of shows looks quite daunting at first, but Yakov says it’s ok to fast forward through all of Rachel Ray’s excessive gesturing—that alone knocks a couple of hours off the overall time it takes to finish.<br /><br />After you watch all the Food Network shows on the Tivo, Yakov comes in and says something like, “Right. So, you promise not to stick pecker in cow parts, right? Of course you won’t. Yakov doesn’t hire goddamned perverts. That’s why his brother still unemployed.” Yes, sometimes Yakov speaks in the third person.<br /><br />Anyway, while I was completing Yakov’s training course, I caught up with all the controversy surrounding the most recent season of <em>The Next Food Network Star</em>. This shit all went down a while ago when the show first aired (you probably didn’t hear about it because the show is retard-pissing-his-pants dumb, and the only people that watch it are the people that have to watch it as part of their food-handler’s training) and revolved around a precocious and doughy contestant named Joshua Adam Garcia, or JAG, as he called himself.<br /><br />Eventually, he was dismissed from the show—or quit the show, depending on who you ask—even though he was one of the finalists. The reason: he was a dirty fuckin’ liar. He said he was a marine, and he actually was, but he exaggerated the hell out of his rank and claimed he served in Afghanistan, which he didn’t. In fact, he was discharged for what the press has called a “hazing incident.” I don’t know what that means, but, based on JAG’s behavior on the show, I’m just going to assume it involved a rectum full of military-issue soap bars and a barrack full of marines pissed off that they had to watch JAG cram them up himself with a sheathed bayonet. Another one of JAG’s lies was that he finished culinary school. He never did—some bullshit like that, anyway, I’m not going to research this inane folderol.<br /><br />So, with his head drooped in epicene disgrace, JAG walked out of the Food Network studio, losing the reality show contest to a curly haired broad hopelessly and irritatingly obsessed with Paris and all things French. Meh [Editor’s Note: “meh” is a word used to represent the sound one makes when he doesn’t care enough to use words to form complete sentences]. Life goes on, and nobody except bored trophy wives likely to buy Rachel Ray’s cookbooks and fantasize about Tyler Florence even knows anything so scandalous took place.<br /><br />However, while watching the drama unfold like an origami swan made by an arthritic factory worker with a total of seven fingers, I noticed another controversy. (To be fair, it’s hardly a controversy, but if I said it was as boring as the rest of this crap, would you even continue reading?)<br /><br />In one of the episodes near the finale, the three remaining contestants—JAG, the curly haired Francophile, and a blonde Yakov refers to as horseface—went on some radio show to see how well they would maintain composure under the pressure of being grilled [Editor’s Note: this terrible food joke was completely unintentional] by two zany DJs on live radio.<br /><br />During JAG’s interview, the following exchange took place:<br /><br /><strong>JAG:</strong> “I’m the one that’s going to bring out Latino Caribe cuisine to the world. It’s not really, uh, represented, you know, as much as I would like it to be, so … it’s either for two reasons: You can’t do it, or, you know, you’re not interested.”<br /><br /><strong>Radio Show Host:</strong> “So you think that’s misrepresented on the Food Network?”<br /><br /><strong>JAG:</strong> “Uh, you know, I don’t think it’s represented as much as it <em>could</em> be. Uh, you know, and I’m here to try and bring that out.”<br /><br />Sweet disappointed Jewish mother of Judas! If there’s one thing network executives don’t want to be accused of it’s racial insensitivity/exclusion/misrepresentation/stereotyping/exploiting. Needless to say, the show’s judges—Food Network executives—were none to pleased with JAG’s comments and spent a good amount of time explaining how wrong he was and just how ethnically diverse the Food Network on-air personalities are.<br /><br /><strong>Executive 1:</strong> “Goddamnit, JAG! We do so represent Latinos with our programs!”<br /><strong>Executive 2:</strong> “Yeah, we’re totally into all that racial stuff.”<br /><strong>JAG:</strong> “Come on, vatos. You know that no es verdad. Show me La Raza, or you can kiss my culo!”<br /><strong>Executive 1:</strong> “Look here, JAG, there’s enough ethnic diversity here to choke a goddamned Rainbow Coalition.”<br /><strong>Executive 2:</strong> “Goddamned right.”<br /><strong>JAG:</strong> “Que pasa?”<br /><strong>Executive 1:</strong> “Well, shit, Giada’s a hook-nosed Roman, Emeril’s half Bridge Troll, Paula Dean is inbred …”<br /><strong>Executive 2:</strong> “She’s right out of <em>The Hills Have Eyes</em>, really.<br /><strong>JAG:</strong> “Ay caramba!”<br /><strong>Executive 1:</strong> “Robert Irvine is a Brit, Sandra Lee is a WASP …”<br /><strong>JAG:</strong> “How is that ethnic in any way, cabron?”<br /><strong>Evecutive 2:</strong> “She’s a WASP robot built as an inside joke between a few African-American scientists.”<br /><strong>Executive 1:</strong> “Tyler Florence—or TyFlo, as the cool kids refer to him—is a Nephilim …”<br /><strong>JAG:</strong> “A what?”<br /><strong>Executive 2:</strong> “A hybrid being created during the sticky, unholy pelvic union of a fallen angel and a human woman, JAG.”<br /><strong>Executive 1:</strong> “Hell, I myself am a gay Jew, Mario Batali is a fat nerd, Cat Cora’s a hermaphrodite, Guy Fieri’s a time-traveling alien, Morimoto is some kind of Asian, Duff Goldman has been a chipmunk man since he got bitten by that radioactive chipmunk that escaped from Alton Brown’s dressing room, and Rachael Ray is, well, it’s better that you didn’t know the truth about her terrifying origins.”<br /><strong>Executive 2:</strong> “I wish I didn’t know. Yeesh!”<br /><strong>JAG:</strong> “But where (pauses to salsa dance) are all the Latinos?”<br /><strong>Exexutive 1:</strong> “Well, Bobby Flay is a Latino.

That’s really not uncommon for me, but this time I have a legitimate reason—a legitimate reason other than a diabetic coma, I should say.<br /><br />As my last post explained, I got a new job in a new city and had to relocate. Part of this relocation involved me staying in a motel for several weeks. The only computer I had access to was an old laptop I found in a dumpster behind a suspicious-looking pet shop (any pet shop located next door to a restaurant reeking of wok-fried hamster meat is suspicious). This particular laptop was powered by static electricity. I had to rub stray cats wrapped in tinfoil on the motel shower curtain in order to keep the computer charged, and nothing I had to say was worth all that trouble. I should also mention that, for some of this time, apparently, I was off on a <a href="http://captainsmack.blogspot.com/2007/08/xenu-returns.html">fantastic and violent adventure</a> with <a href="http://captainsmack.blogspot.com/">Captain Smack</a>.<br /><br />Anyway, I’m finally moved into my apartment and have my trusty computer back. Since it runs on the tears and humiliation of people I berate for my own amusement, I no longer have to worry about running out of juice. (Hey! You over there: Your mother’s a faggot and you smell like a hamper full of syphilitic skunk diapers.) Here’s what I’ve been up to in my absence from the blogosphere.<br /><br /><strong>New Job<br /></strong>The new job is the only reason I moved. It was a lot of trouble, but you can’t put a price on job satisfaction. I am now the number-three sledgehammer operator/viscera scooper at Beefy Yakov’s Slaughterhouse and Used Plastic Tarp Emporium. It’s one of the few slaughterhouses left in the country that dispatches the livestock with actual human-operated hammers; although, some of us just use big rocks or backpacks full of auto parts to kill the cows because it’s less trite than using a big hammer (it’s a decision we stand by as artists). The pay is excellent, and every second Friday, I get to take home all the jowl meat, tarp scrapings, and udder tips I can carry, no questions asked. Every now and then, Yakov, the owner, gets wasted and tells us jokes from the old country. Most of them involve Catherine the Great blowing a horse, but his delivery is spectacular. Plus, if you mention communism, he spits on the floor and punches his wife, who then gets up and counts the toilet paper rolls in the office bathroom.<br /><br /><strong>New Apartment<br /></strong>I concede that the new apartment isn’t as nice as the cave I used to live in, but it’s close to work and not without its charms. The building rests on the banks of an old creek where Californian Stink Ape (Bigfoot’s less civilized cousin) sightings are common and covens often gather to perform inverted bunny crucifixions. Technically the neighborhood could be called a ghetto, but I feel pretty safe because I’m heavily armed and the police usually show up three or four times a day to clean up after the gang-related massacres.<br /><br />One thing I’m not used to is having neighbors. I’ve managed to introduce myself to most of them already, though, and they all seem pretty nice. They were mostly rude at first, but I think they warmed up to me when I showed them how to clean a machete blade with the sterile stomach acids of the recently deceased. That’s the kind of helpful information they don’t teach in schools any more, which is just a goddamned shame. The guy who lives in the apartment below me, Fritz, gave me a hard time for making too much noise when I first moved in. The encounter went something like this:<br /><br /><strong>Fritz:</strong> “What the hell are you doing up here, asshole? Assembling furniture?”<br /><strong>Me:</strong> (Holding a hammer and a mangled bookshelf from IKEA) “Um, yeah.”<br /><strong>Fritz:</strong> “Well can’t you do it quietly?”<br /><strong>Me:</strong> “You can hear me hammering these tacks into Swedish particle board over that German techno you’re blasting down there?”<br /><strong>Fritz:</strong> “That’s not techno, you heathen. It’s my art!”<br /><strong>Me:</strong> “It sounds like Hitler taking a screaming shit in a gay discotheque.”<br /><strong>Fritz:</strong> “I combine the speeches of the fuhrer with industrial music to convey a message. My art suffers because of all your noise! Now shut up or I’ll tell the landlord.”<br /><strong>Me:</strong> “How about you get the fuck out of my apartment and go back to burning books, or whatever it is you’re doing, so I don’t have to kick you in the stomach until your eyeballs pop?”<br /><strong>Fritz:</strong> (Screaming in German and flailing around, threatening to take a shit on my floor.) <br /><br />And that was the second time I jammed a claw hammer in a Nazi’s eye and threw him off a balcony.<br /><br />Speaking of the landlord, he’s a nice Middle-Eastern fellow. He runs the apartment with the help of his three wives. He has a satisfaction-guaranteed policy when it comes to the apartment.<br /><br />“If for some reason you unhappy with room, you can camel-whip one of my wives for five minutes. Then you eat goat meat and drink tea with me while she wash your feet.” <br /><br />There’s also this guy in the building who everyone calls Dr. Jim. He comes by my door every couple of days and trades me free oil change coupons for my old insulin syringes.<br /><br />“We, uh, can’t let kids step on these things, you know, or, like, let the garbage men poke themselves. I’ll, like, um, take these things to the hospital … where I work … with other rich doctors.”<br /><br />I don’t know why a rich doctor would live in such a crappy neighborhood. Come to think of it, I don’t know why a rich doctor would wear plastic bags for shoes and drink swimming pool water, but a lot of rich people are rather eccentric.<br /><br />Someone stole the Toyota emblem off the trunk of my car, which is really the only problem I’ve had so far. Luckily for me, the gang of kids that stole it tried to sell it back to me the next day. Had they known I’m not above beating the shit out of little kids, they probably wouldn’t have taken it in the first place.<br /><br /><strong>The City</strong><br />The city is not unlike San Diego in many ways. There are stupid people everywhere, for example. The city is smaller than San Diego, however, and it seems like more people here ride bicycles. In fact, so many people ride bikes, they basically control the speed and flow of traffic. They don’t obey traffic laws, either, and they seem to get some kind of perverse joy out of cutting off anyone earth-hostile enough to drive a car (even though the majority of other cars on the road are hybrids with obnoxious yellow stickers making that fact even more apparent). I don’t know whether the locals are just used to it or afraid of the helmet-wearing douchebags on ten-speeds, but they seem to take this abuse like a fatalist takes a twelve-baboon gangrape: with slovenly indifference or mildly disappointed acceptance. It has also occurred to me that these bicyclists have forgotten that no matter how wimpy a car is, it’s still a goddamned wrecking ball on wheels compared to a huffy with “Kucinich ‘08” stickers all over it.<br /><br />I have been reminding the cycling-hippy population of this simple fact by knocking as many of them off the road as possible. At first I would sort of just nudge the really rude cyclists with my car until they wobbled enough to hit a curb and flip over, but since none of the authorities seem to give a shit about injured hippies, my vehicular assaults have become less inconspicuous. I’ve taken to throwing bricks at them and hitting them with lead pipes as I drive by. Sometimes I’ll even pull over and help them up just to steal their helmets. It’s not like I need any bicycle helmets or anything, but I’ve always wanted to be a poacher and I’m working my way up to elephant feet for trashcans and rhinoceros horns for, well, whatever the fuck people want to use rhinoceros horns for (Hindu monkey god erection idols?).<br /><br />There’s not all that much to do for fun around here, but thankfully I’ve never done much of anything anyway. Sometimes I’ll go downtown and throw rocks at the Asian transsexuals with the landlord’s uncle, Amir; kick people playing acoustic guitars, pan flutes, and bongo drums at anti-war protests; wear a “God hates queers” shirt to services at the gay Methodist church down the street (What? It’s performance art—like Johnny Knoxville from <em>Jackass</em> taking a fart machine to a yoga studio); and I often hang out at a supposedly haunted Toys ‘R’ Us in a nearby town, hoping to see some ghostly activity. The walls haven’t bled or anything, but I often get reports of the ghost—who was an apple farmer before he died—grabbing ass in the ladies’ room. It’s hardly the Amityville horror, but I take what I can get.<br /> </span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">All in all I’m adjusting rather well to my new surroundings. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to go bait some stink ape traps with kitten meat. It’s a well-known fact that creek-dwelling Californian Stink Apes can’t resist kitten meat.</span>morbid misanthropehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16530962369422901601noreply@blogger.com14tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13125341.post-71768455732506145802007-08-17T03:42:00.000-07:002007-08-17T04:28:24.929-07:00To Answer Stupid Questions and Bid a Fond Farewell<span style="font-family:arial;">It’s a well-known fact that I have an encyclopedic knowledge of painfully useless crap (for example, SPAM is made from ground pork shoulder, not porcine rectal tumors and gelatinized chicken sperm as some people have suggested). My capacity for asinine information and brilliant problem-solving abilities are so well known that I sometimes get random e-mails from people, asking me stupid questions. Since I’m really busy preparing to move across the state for a job and have no time to write something new, I figured I would share a few stupid questions I’ve received, along with my cordial responses. One thing I don’t know, however, is why all these slack-jawed, mouth-breathing retards keep e-mailing me their questions when they could just as easily look this shit up for themselves online. I don’t want to enable people to continue being lazy, but it’s just my nature to help others.</span><br /><div><span style="font-family:arial;"></span></div><br /><div><strong><span style="font-family:arial;">Dude, what’s the deal with Chairman Kaga from Iron Chef? Is he, like, a real guy, or just acting and shit?<br /><br /><em>Jack M. Duly</em></span></strong> </div><br /><div></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5099621474686538290" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" height="252" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8K-0zUh-73cI9eXxIRDjPM7EopGJ9zIlc9-EBxIi6Pg0VsGzqaaIJfhn16ujbMfqxQEtqMAIyxwTWixQNQdIkc4koXIB6vR7X0LiXaOBIt7dCx4VG2PVW2NSmUAPfNH6wv1AxUw/s400/kaga_takeshi_e.jpg" width="189" border="0" /><br /><div><span style="font-family:arial;">Yes, Chairman Kaga is a real guy. He became a Japanese celebrity when his Elton John impersonation and lipsynced musical act was featured on the variety show <em>Super Lucky Happy Fun Time Smiling Sparkling Go-Go Bonanza</em>. This moderate amount of fame led Kaga to become the ultra-cool spokesperson for the <a href="http://www.mybedazzler.com/?cid=347874">“Bedazzler”</a> in Japan. His amazing, sparkly outfits helped increase the Bedazzler’s sales in Tokyo by 3000%. Seeking further artistic freedom, he resigned as spokesperson and was replaced by an effeminate bulimic man in a raccoon costume. This gave Kaga the time to become Japan’s number one Liberace impersonator, which is how he made the bulk of his massive fortune.<br /><br />At the height of his success, he was so wealthy he had a home custom built for him on the top of Mt. Fuji. This home is legendary for having its own bank (dubbed “Rotta Money Kaga Roomaru Bring-Bring Banku Desu” by the media in Japan). This life of solitude and insufficient flamboyance prompted Kaga to build Kitchen Stadium and start the magnificent television show, <em>Iron Chef</em>. The rest, as the cliché goes, is history.<br /><br />Unfortunately, when <em>Iron Chef</em> ended in Japan, it was due to Kaga’s liver--rich and bloated after 300-plus episodes of eating fancy food on the show--being mistaken for the theme ingredient and cooked into a three-course French meal by Iron Chef Sakai on the final unaired episode of the show, not diminished ratings.<br /><br />Kaga’s legacy has been carried on by his nephew on <em>Iron Chef America</em>. On this new version of the show, Kaga’s nephew (who is only one-sixteenth Japanese and previously stared in the big-budget Hollywood hit movie, <em>Double Dragon</em>) honors his uncle by eating a bunch of rich food and backflipping around like a ninja squirrel on amphetamines.</span></div><br /><div></div><div><strong><span style="font-family:arial;">Mr. Mordread Lycanthrope,<br /><br />Someone told me one time that alcohol played an important part of history. You seem to drink a lot, so is that true? The history thing I mean. Thanks.<br /><br /><em>Skippy Putnam</em></span></strong> </div><br /><div></div><div><span style="font-family:arial;">Well, first of all, alcohol has played an important role in my personal history. Ever since my dad got a sexy nurse to put Manischewitz wine on my freshly circumcised baby pecker, alcohol has been my guide on the road to badass. When I was teething, my mother put bourbon in my bottle to shut me up—that’s when I grew my first chest hair. I learned how to drink heavily in junior high, and by my first year of high school, I was guzzling American whiskey and beating up the football team. In fact, if it weren’t for alcohol, I never would have gotten drunk enough to kick my drunken father’s ass. (Editor’s Note: This happened shortly before Morb’s father burned the house down trying to sear his cheating wife’s lady lunchmeat [see: vagina] shut with a superheated machete blade.)<br /><br />Secondly, people around the world have been drinking various kinds of booze for thousands of years. It goes without saying that the consumption of alcohol has changed history countless times. For example, the Great Pyramid was supposed to be a cube, but the architect got all messed up on Nile Bill’s Wild-Crocodile Brew and screwed up the blueprints; this led to the creation of one of mankind’s greatest architectural achievements.<br /><br />Alcohol has always been at least partially responsible for men standing up, throwing caution to the wind, and accomplishing great things. I believe it was George Washington who, after polishing off his sixth mug of ale, said, “Buuuurrrrrpppp! Hey, guys! England’s being a dick, let’s kick his ass!” He then sketched out a crude drawing of his butt and sent it to the king of England, starting the American War of Independence.<br /><br />If my neighbor Scooter hadn’t gotten so drunk on cigarette-butt-filtered Jacuzzi gin, he never would have tried to blow out the fire his meth lab started when it exploded (R.I.P. Scooter). And if it weren’t for alcohol, Bill Fool never would have attempted to take a piss on Lars Ulrich from Metallica at a bar in Houston. Anyway, that’s the short answer. If you want a more in-depth response, send a case of Evan Williams Kentucky Whiskey to my cave, and pray that I don’t get drunk and try to kick your ass for asking questions in a lispy, nancy-boy voice.</span> </div><br /><div></div><div><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong>Hey asshole! I think ur the guy that fucked up my car. Was it you? What the hell u fuckin prick?<br /><br /><em>Name Withheld</em></strong></span></div><br /><div><strong><em><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span></em></strong></div><div><span style="font-family:arial;">It wasn’t me, dude. Why would I run around in the middle of the night, wearing a ninja costume with a superman cape, kicking in people’s windshields, and leaving animal carcasses piled up in the passenger seats? That’s just not something I would do. I also wouldn’t drop my lucky <em>Hello Kitty</em> cigarette lighter in your backseat when I wasn’t throwing up in one of your cup holders. Incidentally, I’d be willing to take any <em>Hello Kitty</em> cigarette lighters you may have found on your property.</span> </div><br /><div></div><div><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong>Hiya Morb,<br /><br />My parents are making me see a shrink because I keep teabagging the cat.

What happens to you when you see a shrink?<br /><br /><em>Love,<br />Timmy Sanchez VIII</em></strong></span></div><br /><div><strong><em><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span></em></strong></div><div><span style="font-family:arial;">Basically, you have to lay on a couch like a gay Roman while some jackass in a tweed vest draws pictures of you naked on his legal pad. I had a psychology class in college, and, yes, that’s all shrinks actually do.<br /><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;"><em>Hey, Morb, tell him that psychologists and psychiatrists can help you face your problems. Tell him that they’re just there to help you in any way they can, without judging you.</em></span><br /><br />Shut the fuck up, Magnanimous Misanthrope, you wuss.<br /><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;"><em>But, Morb, Timmy has reached out to you. The least you could do is reassure him a little.<br /></em></span><br />I’m not here to make timid little perverts feel better about getting brainraped by educated perverts because their parents are tired of paying to abort the housecat’s human/feline-hybrids. And what the hell are you even doing here? I thought Murderous Misanthrope cut your guts out with a butterfly knife.<br /><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;"><em>He did, and it really hurt.

I may not be as wise as King Solomon or Al Bundy, but I think I did alright answering those questions anyway.<br /><br />As I mentioned earlier, I’m in the process of relocating in order to take a sweet new job. Since I have to start the job before I'm able to find a place to live, I’ll be staying in a motel for a few weeks. It’s not the fanciest motel, but they’re giving me a really good deal because I’m the first person ever to stay there without paying by the hour. That reminds me, I better cover that room in, like, three layers of plastic tarp. I’ll probably be blogging even less than usual, but I’ll be back once I’m living in a place with an internet connection instead of a heart-shaped bed and matching Spanish Fly dispenser.<br /><br />Also, since I’ve lived in San Diego all my life, moving 500 miles away makes me feel a little sentimental (until I remember how much I hate every person in this town). Throughout history, people have commemorated such journeys by breaking champagne bottles on ships and reciting poetry that someone else wrote. I don’t care much for poetry, and the boat I bought from a crackhead for three dollars caught on fire the other night. I will now end this, the final post from my hometown, with a completely unrelated, translated haiku by the totally awesome Japanese poet Basho.<br /><br /><strong>O bush warblers! </strong></span></div><div><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong>Now you’ve shit all over </strong></span></div><div><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong>my rice cake on the porch</strong></span></div>morbid misanthropehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16530962369422901601noreply@blogger.com13tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13125341.post-34391203303392606412007-08-07T14:56:00.000-07:002007-08-07T15:06:43.037-07:00Best Hair Ever<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXyxLpzJpNkHClxRSoBOBsG-MCPghdpgKcFMPD_uonh8DYfjlOCn7ilfrwhxFVPuge5LupOtgqJcRmxc2Evn3kCiNnRenoygtllOlcgKZ9f4mRUhndulrmXcnxNgpw4H0npOLkxw/s1600-h/UVERWORLD.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5096081178929340546" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXyxLpzJpNkHClxRSoBOBsG-MCPghdpgKcFMPD_uonh8DYfjlOCn7ilfrwhxFVPuge5LupOtgqJcRmxc2Evn3kCiNnRenoygtllOlcgKZ9f4mRUhndulrmXcnxNgpw4H0npOLkxw/s400/UVERWORLD.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong>Jayson:</strong> “Yo, guys, how fuckin’ sweet do we look for this photo shoot?”<br /><strong></strong></span></div><div><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong>Tiger:</strong> “Yo, dawg, we look totally slammin’.

It’s stupid. Besides, what the fuck would a misanthrope want with a social networking site, anyway? At first I was just going to rant about how MySpace is nothing but a place for fat chicks with deceptively slimming high-angle photos to pick up internet boyfriends; a place for old perverts to prey on stupid preteens who believe every online profile they read; and a place where foreigners can meet American women desperate to get married, i.e., their ticket to American citizenship. But then I started thinking about how much productivity suffered at the magazine where I worked because all of the ditzy ad sales girls spent their entire working day fucking around on MySpace.<br /></span><br /><div><div><span style="font-family:arial;">If MySpace could cripple a business in such a way, perhaps it isn’t just an innocent place for people to make friends/keep track of friends online. Perhaps it’s something more evil, more insidious. Whenever I have these kinds of paranoid thoughts, I start looking shit up on the internet—modern scholarly research, if you will. At any rate, I discovered quite a bit of information that blew my mind. Most of this enlightening information came from one source: a self-proclaimed genius and ancient civilizations/end of the world expert named Thadius H. J. Bandercatchum (AIM handle, XxCommander6669xX).<br /></span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:arial;">Since he knows more than I ever hope to know on the subject of MySpace (and something called “tentacle porn” that he offered to sell me a box of), I asked him to write a post for this blog, summarizing the major discoveries he’s made. So, anyone still reading this crap, please enjoy having your entire perception of reality altered by this great man.<br /></span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:arial;">Cordially,<br /></span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:arial;">Morbid Misanthrope </span></div><div><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong></strong></span></div><div><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong>MySpace: Destroyer of Worlds<br /></strong><em>By Thadius H. J. Bandercatchum</em> </span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:Arial;">In order for what I’m about to tell to make sense, I suggest all you plebeians just accept my immense genius and try to wrap your pin-shaped heads around the gobbets of information I’m going to drop before you. Judging by the intellect of Morbid Misanthrope (oh, how clever, alliteration—what a twat), you, his devoted readers, must be incredibly stupid. Who else but complete fools would consistently give a shit what someone calling himself Morbid Misanthrope has to say. That idiot writes like a 45-year-old ex-junkie working his way through <em>Hooked on Phonics</em> for the seventh or eighth time. That’s neither here nor there, however, because no matter how below me an audience is, it is an audience nonetheless. My message is what matters, so I don’t mind casting pearls before swine occasionally. </span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:arial;">Before I “learn y’all something,” I think I’ll tell you a little about myself. The only thing equal to my genius is my awesomeness and ability to get hot ladies constantly. I’m so cool that I say things like, “My name’s Thadius, Thadius Bandercatchum. You’ve got big hooters. Now go over there and make out with that sexy nurse” and it actually works. I’m so pimp, as the kids like to say, that I’ve had sex with over 300 lesbians—the pretty ones, not those manly dyker bikers with plastic wieners sewn on. In fact, I once had three-hour-long sex with six lesbians on the back of a Harley Davidson while changing the bike's oil and rebuilding the engine. One super-hot lesbian actually called my boner “Thad’s third arm” because it’s got reach.</span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:arial;">Anyway, aside from my poon-pounding prowess, I’m also a genius. I make over $200,000 a year just for being so goddamned smart. I don't even use my genius as a full-time job. I only freelance. Yes, I’m really that smart. So pay attention to what I have to say. I’m going to make this painfully quick so none of your heads explode.</span> </div><br /><div><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong><em>Point 1: The End of the World Hexagram in the</em> I Ching<br /></strong>There’s no way any of you can possibly comprehend the complexities of the <em>I Ching</em>, so allow me to just say this: The Hexagram in the <em>I Ching</em> that represents the end of the world can be translated to—if you also include its inner trigram—“ Mai Sczpace.”</span> </div><br /><div><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong><em>Point 2: The Mayans and Their End of the World Predictions</em></strong><br />These are the simple facts: The Mayans were very, very smart (even though their skin was a funny color and they didn’t speak proper English). Unfortunately for them, they were shit when it came to surviving, and they were all destroyed by Spaniards that came to the Americas by accident on their way to find the famous Chinese Opium Trade. However, before they were wiped out by lisping Europeans with silly pants and single-shot rifles, they managed to predict the end of the world. I’ll spare you their methods. For the sake of your fragile minds, we’ll just say they used magic.<br /></span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:arial;">According to their calendar, the end of the world will occur in December 2012. Pictured below is the Mayan Calendar Stone (sometimes called the Aztec Sun Stone—the Mayans stole it from the Aztecs as a revenge prank after some Aztec warriors greased the stairs of one of the Mayan pyramids and made a bunch of the human sacrifices fall down in a comical fashion). At the very top of the stone, where 12:00 would be on a clock, is a symbol that represents the end of the world. Look at the symbol the Mayans used to represent the destruction of the planet. If that’s not the Myspace logo, then I never banged Scarlett Johansson (I did bang Scarlett Johansson, by the way).</span> </div><br /><div></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5086563765679627938" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4AYTnkfSJxKwFHLvIRvQK68foSF-e156nqriaUmbw6qrmaU1rf_Zmygl-Hqq9cW1y6npYq60ID8Q2rh776qUItV7145xhFtkIR46oyi18Kq74MZGiqr4SlotvZ85-dT9kC2FZ-Q/s400/MAYA-calendar-2-view.jpg" border="0" /><br /><div><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong><em>Point 3: Plato’s Pre-Atlantis Utopia</em><br /></strong>I have to assume that all of you have heard of Plato. If not Plato, surely you’ve all heard of his famous story about Atlantis. Disney made a cartoon movie about it, which I’m sure most of you have seen.<br /></span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:arial;">I have discovered a little-known story written by Plato that predates his Atlantis story by over three weeks. I shouldn’t have to tell you how significant this story is (although I’m sure some of you will miss out on its relevance entirely). Here is a copy of Plato’s pre-Atlantis story:</span></div><br /><div></div><div><span style="font-family:arial;"><em>There once was a brilliant society, with technology like no other society on Zeus' flat earth. This society was called Mu-Nod, and was the envy of every other city on earth. While other societies reveled in goat sex and naked male-on-male wrestling, Mu-Nod shunned such nonsense and instead focused on progress.<br /></em></span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:arial;"><em>They developed something called bathrooms, which were places where one, alone as opposed to a group setting, could bathe or drop a deuce on marble thrones. They also had flying chariots that could transport a person from place to place at an amazing speed. It was said that the very gods of Olympus vacationed there.<br /></em></span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:arial;"><em>Then, one day, the scientists of this magnificent city created something called "ThyPlace." This system, which enabled citizens to communicate with each other through long cables suspended throughout the city, led to their very downfall.<br /></em></span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:arial;"><em>Instead of working and inventing, the denizens of Mu-Nod sent each other vapid messages and manipulated photos of themselves. They updated their "ThyPlace" pages many times a day, virtually crippling their productivity. They spent all their time quoting ignorant celebrities and customizing their personal "ThyPlace" pages. Soon, however, the morally lacking invented fake personalities for themselves in order to "befriend" the youngest members of the society. Perversity ran rampant.<br /></em></span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:arial;"><em>The less people worked and the more time they spent sending messages to each other led to severe economic decline. The city deteriorated and went to pot.<br /></em></span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:arial;"><em>Soon, the gods themselves decided to punish the wicked, slovenly population of Mu-Nod. They called everyone on "ThyPlace" dorks, which is another word for whale dick, and destroyed the entire civilization for its wickedness. Thusly, this great city perished as it fell beneath the waves of the ocean, brought down by its inability to function because of a silly social-networking program.<br /></em></span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:arial;"><em>This story is true; may the gods fornicate me with an olive branch if I tell a lie. Let this be a lesson to all of the other cities in the world—a warning, as it were. The entire world is at risk if they heed not these words. Thank you, and good night.</em></span> </div><br /><div></div><div><span style="font-family:arial;">There you have it. MySpace is certainly a modern version of the “ThyPlace” that destroyed the magical kingdom of Mu-Nod. The same terrible fate could await us if we continue to use MySpace so recklessly. Also, Plato essentially called MySpace users dorks. So, unless you want to be a fucking dork, I suggest you quit screwing around with MySpace.</span> </div><br /><div></div><div><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong><em>Point 4: Nostradamus’ Quatrains<br /></em></strong>Since most of you probably have no idea who Nostradamus is, I'll enlighten you. Even a genius like me can be charitable sometimes. Why, just the other day I bought a pencil from a deaf retard on the subway. This is the abridged version of Nostradamus’ history, written to make sense to cigarette-smoking chimps. I think you’ll all be able to understand it.<br /></span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:arial;">Nostradamus was born a long time ago in a land far away. He was a pissed off kid because his parents named him Michelle. That's why he started calling himself Butch. Since he lived in a salon, no one bought the "tough" name. That pissed him off even more, so he killed his wife and kid and blamed it on the plague.<br /></span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:arial;">Still desperate to look manly, he married a new lady named Anne. She was really stupid, but he only married her as a trophy wife so it didn't really matter. It was rumored that she spoke terrible French and couldn't cook for a damn, but she had huge tits and that was all ol' "Butch" needed to help his reputation.</span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:arial;">He also grew a sweet beard and moved into a spooky-looking tower where he started writing poetry. Realizing a French poet would make people world wide question his masculinity for all time, he changed his name to Nostradamus and spread rumors that he was writing some spooky shit about the future, not fruity poems about wine and flowers.<br /></span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:arial;">Then, everyone was all mystified by Nostradamus and they read his terrifying poems, or quatrains as he called them. Quatrain is basically a word Nostradamus said the ghosts told him to use to describe his fortune-telling.<br /></span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:arial;">Anyway, he wrote a bunch of quatrains and people were afraid of the end of the world that he may or may not have predicted. You see, Nostradamus was a sneaky fellow, and many experts believe his quatrains weren't really predictions, but really bad jokes only he got. </span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:arial;">Regardless, people have been scared of Nostradamus for hundreds of years now. They also call him a prophet and celebrate his birthday every year by wearing fake beards and silly hats.<br /></span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:arial;">I have found a few quatrains that predict the birth of MySpace and its terrible effects on humanity. It's pretty damned amazing, so hold on to your helmets and read on.</span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span></div><div><em>With a click and a blank stare<br />They speak to friends they've never met<br />Where the young are really old men</em></div><div><em>And the women are too</em> </div><br /><div></div><div><span style="font-family:arial;">And another one:</span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span></div><div><em>Self-absorbed, empty-headed fools<br />Quote lines from bad plays and lyrics from mindless music at each other<br />Bright pink backgrounds blind the unprepared<br />Women much fatter than their pictures suggest</em></div><br /><div><em></em></div><div><span style="font-family:arial;">And, most ominously:</span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span></div><div><em>The system shall corrupt the world<br />Bringing mental-retardation and exaggerated self-importance<br />Name after name will be added to lists</em></div><div><em>Nyspice will bring social ruin</em></div><br /><div><em></em></div><div><span style="font-family:arial;">In the last line there, I interpret "Nyspice" to mean "MySpace"; much like other Nostradamus experts believe Nostradamus' "Hister" meant "Hitler." It couldn’t be more clear that Nostradamus predicated MySpace’s ability to bring about terrifying social ruin.<br /></span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:arial;">For any of you still reading along without understanding the big picture, I’ll spell it out for you: MySpace will bring about the end of the world. The proof is all there … in a condensed, blog-friendly kind of way. If any of you dare to learn more about MySpace ushering in the end of the planet as we know it, you can visit my website at ****************** and buy my books from **********. Also, if there are any especially sexy ladies who want to get nailed by a genius before the world comes to an end, you can call **********. That’s my cell. Hot ladies can also find saucy pictures of me on MySpace.<br /></span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:arial;"><em>[Editor’s Note: All of Thad’s contact information has been blocked by the owner of this blog because Thad called him a twat.]</em></span></div></div>morbid misanthropehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16530962369422901601noreply@blogger.com32tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13125341.post-20603959250444472642007-07-04T17:44:00.001-07:002007-07-04T17:45:13.779-07:00Independence Day<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUxDh0_sp54Jj9BRtivRpJaKlWKCRoqWA2w5GRkCe5iTIsvpmPVjN0jjINoXXHBlwZxskLeMgzOUkaY9OjucfrplhiwXx2VyrL5SVDtM0a6OQ0Xx3qUBHxADEzwTQeK_QHytwQQQ/s1600-h/fourth-of-july.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5083507420982814306" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUxDh0_sp54Jj9BRtivRpJaKlWKCRoqWA2w5GRkCe5iTIsvpmPVjN0jjINoXXHBlwZxskLeMgzOUkaY9OjucfrplhiwXx2VyrL5SVDtM0a6OQ0Xx3qUBHxADEzwTQeK_QHytwQQQ/s400/fourth-of-july.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div>morbid misanthropehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16530962369422901601noreply@blogger.com27
