He was trying to get some where, but the old orange POS had a flat. He had the trunk open as if he wanted to change the tire but discovered he had no spare. I have never seen such a defeated human being.

I asked, " Whats the problem?"
"I got a flat and I need to get somwhere very important" He replied.

Any normal dick-head would have said something that added up to "sucks to be you, dude" and went on his way.

I decided to offer him the only thing he needed, I gave him my donut spare tire and helped him put it on. Of course I thought that If I got a flat I'd be fokked, but I thought WTF. If I do a good turn It may come back to me.

The next day he came into the store I worked in, rolling the tire ahead of him, he smiled and shook my hand, and gave me a thank-you card with a $50 bill in it. I never saw him again, but It is one of those moments where you put aside your selfish assholiness to help a fellow man, and it really means alot to that person. It kinda makes life worth living.

Therefore we're free to vote for someone who we would actually want to see as President like David McReynolds or Jim Bruer.

b. Your arch-enemy:

c. Your most embarrassing fart story OR your philosophy on raising children (if different):

a. 16, Jan. 1, my bedroom
b. The bartender at McSwiggan's
c. About 2 years ago, I blasted one out in the elevator on my way up to my apartment. It was pretty late and no one else was in the car with me, so I figured I was free to do as I pleased. I mean who the fuck gets on the elevator going UP from anyplace else other than the lobby? Well, at least one person, and she got on the elevator with me that evening.

It didn't smell good in there.

It didn't help that I was kind of giggling (oh, yeah, I was drunk, or had you guessed already?). We just stood there together, wallowing in the smell. Maybe that woman is my real arch-enemy.
a. I was 16. January 30th, 1987. Ridgefield, CT. Incidentally, it was her little brother's bed, complete with Star Wars sheets.
b. Sammy Hagar
c. Can I tell someone else's most embarrassing fart story? Back during my FN days, there was a temp receptionist that I had a huge crush on. She was British and leggy and kinda looked like Liz Hurley. Her accent drove me crazy, guvner. Anyway, one day I'm waiting by myself for the elevator to arrive on the 31st floor. The bell rings, the doors open and a lone figure sprints out right past me in a blur, staring at the floor. It was her, obviously in a rush. I stepped into the empty elevator and immediately realized she wasn't late for an appointment, she was fleeing her own self-created gas chamber. I was nearly overcome by the rankest fish-n-chips fart ever to waft past my nostrils. She never looked me in the eye again after that. Besides my love for that lovely lass, also dashed that day was the myth that girls don't toot.

a. 17, August 1986, backseat of girlfriend's car.
b. I'll get back to you.......
c. I was 13 and learning to play golf. Out on the links with my father, brother and grandfather. I was preparing to hit a 5 iron over a lake onto the green, It was about 105 in the shade, as I lined up the shot, head down, arms straight, it happened, one of those farts that starts off loudly then tails off and upward in pitch, the sheer embarrassment ended my golfing career forever.

a. Age: 16 Date: ???? Location: A cabin at the CYO (Christian Youth Organazation) summer camp. It was in the woods behind my highschool. It was the make-out place you went to when you cut classes.
b. E.O. B.T.
c. I was with a friend at a swanky new bar ala Sex In The City. Beautiful people EVERYWHERE. It was emptying out at closing time. We were VERY drunk and she dared me to light my gas. We were seated on these plush new sofa's and I made several attempts to set one a-flame.

After a few tries, I hit pay-dirt and sent out a little beauty of a flare. We busted ourselves laughing and falling over for a few minutes.

My friend leaned back on the sofa and looked up... With this, roaring laughter followed and sent her into tears. I couldn't understand this second rush of giggles until she pointed up and I saw - to my horror- there was a CCTV camera literally directly above me pointing straight down at me!!!!
a. 16, 7/20/85 10:05pm, The beach of the lake at my country house
b. Then: Premature Ejaculation; Now: My expanding Gut
c. We plan on raising my children without the aid of a Nanny or Day-Care Center, even at the expense of my Wife's income. Developing children are extremely influenced by the people that they spend time with and we want that influence to come from US. When my cousin was growing up, both my Aunt and my Uncle worked during the day and left him with his Grandparents (from the other side of his family) who were East German. He subsequently developed a German Accent. I guess it left an impression on me.

c. this one time i farted and i was on a hot air balloon and the balloon got too much gas in it and then it expanded and we floated to nepal.

c. When the hottest girl in my junior high sneezed, suffered a temporary loss of sphincter control, and let a loud one slip out. From that point on, she became known as "Achoo, Thurppp!" She is a grown woman with three kids and I still think of her as, "Achoo, Thurppp!"
a. 18, ca. May of 1988, a loft bed in a dorm room in Madison, Wisconsin. The loft was loosely constructed so I had to hold onto the wall to prevent the loud banging noises that would have occurred with each thrust (and there were at least four thrusts).
b. Bob Costas
c. Right around that time, May of 1988, loft-girl and I went through one what would turn out to be many breakups.  She went home for the weekend to hang out with her friends, and I stayed in town (Madison) and went to a party with some of mine.  Newly single, I was determined to charm some ladies.  And charm them I did, specifically a hot blonde who lived on the 9th floor of our dorm (we were on the 10th floor, but I didn't really know her outside of admiring her in the elevator).  I was unleashing a stream of bullshit that she found irresistible.  She reportedly told one of my pals, "Your friend's a pretty smooth talker."  The next thing I knew I was walking her home and we were holding hands.  What a magic feeling.  We stopped a couple of times to kiss on the street.  I would call it making out but it was more gentle and innocent than that.  Finally, we got to her dorm room, but we couldn't go in because her roommate was asleep.  So we sat right outside the room, in the hallway, sort of holding hands and kissing a little bit. I was so happy.  She was way out of my league, but she couldn't get enough of me on this fine night.  Then, suddenly, we realized we had differences in how we would choose to raise our children.  Just kidding.  Real story follows: suddenly, I ripped a trombone fart that reverberated off the hallway floor.  Someone had walked past us about thirty seconds earlier, and they were now all the way down the hall.  That didn't stop me from trying to pass the fart off on this innocent stranger.  "Hey, that's disgusting," I desperately called out down the hallway.  But my new girlfriend, let's call her Joan, looked me dead in the eye, and said, "Oh no, that was YOU! I heard that!"  She was understandably grossed out. The night wrapped up pretty much right at that instant.  I never spoke to Joan again.

Epilogue #1: The next day, there was a story going around that someone had written all sorts of lovey-dovey notes on the message board that hung on Joan's dorm room door. We can only suppose it was me.

Epilogue #2: That Sunday night, my ex-girlfriend, the one that I had recently and temporarily broken up with (let's call her MJ), was hanging out with me and a few friends of mine in a friend's room.  Another friend walked in, and, not seeing MJ in the room, blurted out, "So, are you going to tell MJ about Joan?" I was now, fucker.

My humiliation was complete.

#39 (7/28/04):

a. Best hangover cure:

b.
Where you live and the best or worst thing about it:

c.
Most outlandish/stupid thing you said to someone a) on a date or b) in an authority position or c) who was a stranger-- and why you said such nonsense:

a. sneak out the back at 12:57 a.m. after fourth/fifth round and hit the bed mat
b. d.c. - race relations lag badly behind rest of northeast, including boston
c. When I was a wee lad of 9 I told my Dad he was a "piece of shit" because he made me clear the table. That was very inappropriate. But, in a very wise way, he calmly asked me why I said what I said and helped me get past my bit of early brinkmanship without killing me. Props to Dad.

Nixon had died - I guess it mighta been the spring of '95 - and I was eating at dinner at female friend's house. I was sorta dating her but not 100 percent. We were classmates as well. Her Dad was waxing a little misty eyed about ol' Tricky Dick and I said Nixon could "Burn in hell." It offended her and her family on at least six and possibly as many as ten different levels. And the silence that followed was pretty deafening. I said it because the young lady/date/schoolmate was an obnoxious know-it-all who ended my sentences for me. I guess my internal calculus was telling me that it was not a viable relationship anyway so I might as well not sit there and listen to weepy eyed paeans to Nixon. However, it was kind of uncalled in its random ferocity. I'd probably hold that one in if I had to do it again.

Three years later, in a mass email to several of the top editors at the ______ _______, I once in anger accused the world's largest news gathering organization of unprofessional behavior. Oy. I said it because they had forced me to quit my staff job in New York, ironically, to take an unpaid position as a journalism fellow at their Berlin bureau, a post I fiercely coveted. I was right, they were wrong, and I was pretty much blacklisted in perpetuity. It was not the smart way to roll. However, I did stick to my guns.
a. 1000mg Ibuprofen BEFORE you go to bed/ pass out, but AFTER you are done heaving.
b. West Baltimore. The best thing about it is: Lots of old tall trees
c. Hey lady, ya wanna f***?
OOPS! Your not who I thot you were.....
um........

a. Marijuana, of course. The medicinal qualities of this divine plant cannot be denied.
b. California. Sarcasm as humor doesn't go over well here. I don't know if that's good or bad but it's disarming for a sarcastic east coast bastard like me.
c.
a) I was on a terrible date once and yawned throughout. I was damn tired and she was bo ring. Finally the girl had enough and said something like, "You know, it doesn't make me feel very special that you're constantly yawning." I just shrugged and yawned again. I hate dating.
b) I lectured a Giuliani-era undercover cop who gave me a ticket for smoking a cigarette on the subway platform, saying stupid shit like, "Good thing you've cleared up all the real crime in this city and can now focus on the Marlboro addicts." (Little did I know what the future would bring for NYC smokers.) Then every time after that when I would spot that cop hanging around the platform posing as your average straphanger I would wave and smile and say in a loud voice: "Hello, officer!" He didn't like me one bit.
c) Sometimes when I'm drunk in a bar and spot doofus hipsters wearing ski hats when it's 90 degrees outside I ask them how the conditions are out there and whether they would like a hot chocolate.

a. Excedrin and warm coca cola NOT Pepsi.
b. NJ - Best is the shore - worst - it's still NJ
c.
"Do you have any idea how utterly boring you are?"

Setting: Date at Oceana Restaurant, NYC.

Reason: Possibly one of the worst dates in history. He did nothing but talk about himself for 3 hours. His childhood, his college days, his exciting Media Buying/Advertising career etc. for 3 hours! Even the waiters knew I was bored and NOT interested!! Now Oceana is known for never rushing anyone and they wait until you ask for the check...this guy kept ordering desserts and coffee after coffee in spite of me saying "I have to catch a train" etc. Did not take any hint. Finally he went to the men's room (from all the damn coffee) and I called over the waiter and told him to bring the check. Then when my "date" comes back and sees the check he says " How dare they try to rush our beautiful evening together" - That is when I said "Do you have any idea how utterly boring you are?"
a. 1 qt.water and advil...then sleep for 1 more hour
b. jersey shore. 2 minutes away from looking at the ocean.
c. at mardi gras i was talking to this other drunk dude and we were discussing the atmosphere. i told him that all the commotion makes me think of what hiroshima must have been like just before the bomb dropped.

b.
Drink of choice, now. (If beer, brand please.)

c.
Moment in your life you would relive, (good or bad) real outcome and desired outcome, if different.

a. sierra nevada
b. coors light
c. accepting my first job out of college. i had been working at chebby bents part time during spring semester for a whopping $75/ week.

after graduation they offered to put me on full time, for a whopping $17,500 annual salary.

i should have held out for just a bit more...or demanded that i at least be paid overtime (which i qualified for) since i could easily put in 60-70 hour weeks for those con-men.

unemployment used to scare the HELL out of me.
a. Genesee Cream Ale ($2 Pints at Nectar's)
b. Stella Artois or Guinness if in Bar; MGD bottles if outside
c. Real: Me reading the Daily News on Saturday and seeing I didn't win $290 million.

a. 40 of Old English; anything in liquor cabinet (high school)
b. Guiness
c. Old college relationsip. Desired outcome: dump the fucker quick fast & do the roommate and/or selected friends instead. Real outcome: dumped the fucker after a while, didn't do the roommate or desired friends... what a waste.
a. Mickeys Big Mouth
b. Corona
c. I was 11, playing little league. I batted .147. On a sunny day, I closed my eyes and swung at a pitch...... And CRUSHED it for a 3 run homer down the third base line. It rolled and rolled. I burst into tears as I crossed the plate, surrounded by my team. Glorious.
a. 2 liter of Purple passion (active ingredient Everclear grain alcohol)
b. Hoegaarden
c. My left elbow joint hasn't worked quite right ever since it was horribly dislocated it while drunken wrestling with one of my best friends years ago in the backyard during a party, quite possibly after downing a 2 liter of the Passion. I would have avoided the wrestling part of that evening.
I also have a thick scar on my chin that I received while arguing over a billiards shot in the basement of Manitoba's on Avenue B. It was with a kinda-friend and we were horsing around more than anything, wasted, but it ended in the emergency room of Beth Israel. I would like to relive that episode and avoid the entire situation and erase the ugly scar. I think my blood is still on the felt there, but I don't care about that. And I wish I didn't drop my full beer all over my leg last night at the Prince concert. What a waste and now I have to wash my jeans prematurely, too.
a. Any combination of hard liquor that we could steel from my parents. We’d put it in a Polio Ricotta cheese container and hide in the woods and hold our noses while drinking. YUM!!!

they had so much more fun than i did... especially when the valedictorian was shaking his fist in the air during the climax of his speech. they all started bursting in laughter and i just shook my head, knowing how much funnier it would have been if i was high...
a. Egg creams
b. Corona (I think it's a subconscious need to force people to go through the trouble of getting a lime
c. June something, 1987. Final high school baseball game ever. Playing Hunter High School on a grey, rainy Saturday all the way out at Lincoln High School. Winner goes to the playoffs. Loser gets to think about it for the rest of time. Two outs in the bottom of the last inning. Down by two. Like those Mets fuckers of the year before, we were mounting a comeback and starting to hit their pitcher hard. With two outs, Yoshi Nobumoto hit a double then scored on a hit by one of the all-time bastards named Daniel Grant. (Looking back, I can admit there were a number of reasons that I hated this guy that had a lot more to do with me than him. He seemed to have a way with the ladies and was on his way to a good college and surely a higher salary than I would ever earn. He was nicknamed "Ho Ho" because despite being black, he was thought of as a "white guy stuck in black guy's body." While he and his friends thought this was cute, in my self-righteousness I was angered by what seemed like Uncle Tom-like behavior. (p.s. I'm white.) Also, he was a much better player than me despite having no fucking clue as to how to play baseball--not having watched a single game, not having a basic undertanding of the important subtleties of hitting a cutoff man or working a count, not having read the Art of Hitting .300--which pissed me off to no end.) With Ho Ho on first, Mike Moss headed to the plate. If the rally continued, next up would be Pakai Ngai and then me. (Pakai was around 5'2" and walked at least every other time up.) Mike singled sharply to left and the ball bounced right in front of the left fielder as we all screamed. Pakai headed toward the batter's box and my heart pounded, knowing that there was a good possibility I would be up with the tying run on third and two outs. I was imagining that the Greatest Moment of My Life was a few minutes away. My dismal, depressive sex-less high school years would be over as being the hero here would surely change my life, boost my self-esteem, get me into the college of my choice, and get me the chance to at least touch a breast. But before I could even slide the donut on to the bat, Ho Ho reached second and we all realized that he wasn't slowing down. Our collective scream turned into a sickening groan as Ho Ho rounded second at full-speed. With the ball already in the left fielder's glove, he headed to third. Now, if I had learned anything on the godforsaken 18 years that I had been on the planet, it was that you never made the first or last out of an inning at third base (Thanks, Frank Messer). I guess Ho Ho had been too busy getting laid and enjoying life to have heard this particulat tidbit. He was out by at least fifteen feet.

I ended up at SUNY Stony Brook and wouldn't touch a breast for another four years.

#37 (7/8/04): A brief word on this week's challenge: I was considering ending the challenge on account of my own lame questions and the dwindling number of responses.  But you have created your own questions and come up with lots of thoughtful answers. This week's questions were worded just vaguely enough that you could go a number of ways with 'em, and so you did. You guys are the best (even if it's just one of you sending in multiple responses).  You're also really gross.

a. Something that has come out of or off of your own body that has truly disturbed you.

b. Someone you’ve had sex with but have NEVER told ANYONE (because of your own mortification)
-or-
 Someone you really want to have sex with and have NEVER told ANYONE (because of your own mortification): 

c. Top 3 good/bad movies of all time in order. Example "Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead…, Xanadu, The Prophecy" Please provide supporting materials or reasons for your choices.

a. I squeezed a huge zit on the back of my neck. The ample contents that oozed out reeked of garlic.
b. A married man who was a on the board of directors at the country club I was working at the time. The act took place in his living room while the wife was out collecting the kids from school – unaware of his homosexual actions – let alone feelings.
c. Since the three examples were my choices for the worst/best here are my runner-ups…
3) Miss congeniality: stupid mindless twaddle, perfect for escapism. I’ll watch it every time it’s on.
2) Grease II: At the time I couldn’t understand my very strange feelings towards Maxwell Caufield in his very tight leather pants.
1) Godzilla Vs. The Smog Monster: What more could you ask for… a giant flying turd that spits acid and tokes off of smoke stacks. And the classic trance hit, "SAVE THE EARTH". Actually any Godzilla movie.
c. The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly is the greatest movie ever and everything else is just chopped liver.

a. Having fluid drained from my knee was really gross
b. Darryl Hannah (but only as a mermaid)
c.
Top 5 Good (not in order, and changes on any given day, and I want to do 5 instead of 3, so screw you):

- Dazed and Confused - obviously.
- Sling Blade - Beautiful movie-making. Very fine performances. Good script. One of the very, very few watchable mentally-challanged protaganist genre movies. Also, one of the very, very few movies that is watchable despite a little kid in one of the lead roles. Actually, considering all the stuff this movie had going against it (little kid, retard, no nudity), makes it all the better.
- The Shawshank Redemption - lovely movie. Morgan Freeman is perfect and Tim Robbins is great. Excellent supporting cast.
- Old School - Fantastic. Will Farrell is hilarious, but Vince Vaugn is my favorite. He can be real annoying, but Vaugn can also be very funny.
- possible #5 - Lost in Translation - Need to watch it again. Wish I had seen it on the big screen. Beautifully shot. A restrained and fragile Bill Murray. And a script that made the right decision at the end.

The Bad 3 (again, in no order and subject to revision):

- Troy - Awful. Like a PG-13 version of Braveheart set in Greece (or Turkey, wherever the fuck Troy is), without all the cool blood and gore. Also, nothing fucking happens in this 4 1/2 hour movie.
- Hackers - Fisher Stevens and Lorraine Bracco team up to make one of the most ridiculous villain combos of all time. Hopelessly dated.
- Pretty in Pink - This movie is awful and depressing. Molly Ringwald's homemade dress sucks. And Ducky? Jon Cryer is a douchebag.
- Honorable mention: My Weekend at Bernie's.

a. the brown stuff i put in little jars in my closet
b. ashton kutchner
c. 3 way tie-waterworld,the postman,the most recent kevin costner baseball movie
a. blood out of my pee pee
b. my co - worker Karen S.(hope she's reading)
c.

-weekend at bernies II
-mannequinn
a. A freckle - it literally fell off in my hand
b. I had sex with...If I told you I would have to kill you or me! I will take this to my grave!
c.
Good = Godfather - It speaks for itself
Good = The Sixth Sense - Continued to make you think after the movie was over.
BAD = Any movie with Jackie Chan - Really - is there a reason for any of them?
a. My Kids
b. Your Wife

We got out to the parking lot, and into my friends nissan sentra 2-door, the kind with the windows in the back that dont roll down, they just pop open sideways for ventilation. anyway i was in the back seat and once we started moving, my cookies started shaking. i think by the time we pulled out of the parking lot and onto the street, i had to boot, so i thought i could open the little vent window and spew out of that. i literally got vomit everywhere and almost caused a domino effect among the other passengers.

by this point we were barely two blocks from the bar, so we just went back to the house we were staying at and crashed. i passed out and the owner of the car got madder and madder about what i had done to his car. he actually tried to wake me up about 2 hours into my crash and demand i go out and clean the mess. i promised to do it as soon as i woke up that morning, and i did.

i still havent heard the end of it.

c. I'd like ta give a "shout out" to all the ladies in da house... most embarassing puke story took place at fire island about six years ago... as was typical in those days, i was shoveling cocaine in my face with alarming regularity. i also had not seen my high school classmates in many, many years prior. most of them had matured, married, bought homes, had children, stable careers, etc., and I was still running around like a savage pounding vodka, firing rounds of cocaine up my nose... on the way to the bar, stumbling and trying to get myself a good "keyhit," i puked up some brown mess on my white polo button up shirt... i just "folded" my shirt in some fucked up manner, trying to diguise the bile stains as i carried onward. as it turns out, i ran into many old high school friends and they cornered me for conversation. as they relayed their lives to me, i stood there nodding, anxiously smiling, sweating like a banshee, smelly and stained. i don't think they were impressed with my progress and i pretty much have avoided contact with any of them since then.

c. Elaborate or simple plan you would employ in order to see the roommate who you have a big crush on naked
-or-
What we should tell those dickhead soccer players if they try to step onto our softball field even a moment before 9pm:

a. Isn't there one where Phil gives Bill "the Collins"?
b. When the Pirates beat the O's in 79. Reading about soldiers' funerals buried in the Metro section sometimes makes me v. sad too.
c. on the roommate: just ask. it's probably mutual. and you might be able to cop a boobie feel. but make sure you leave a suitable out or you'll be looking for a new apt.

on the soccer/salfball: be polite. tell them you understand how they're excited to play the sport they love, as you are to play the sport you love.

tell them, "please, don't interrupt our game and we'll make sure to vacate the field promptly" - probably in the time it takes for them to set up the goals and warm up.

if that doesn't work, contact the parks people and have them suggest a way forward - maybe they should reschedule the games so there's a 15-minute window between their start and your finish.

but don't get rough because seriously the last thing you fat pussy toads need is a bunch of cleat marks in your ass.
a.  "Take Me Home"-Phil/"Worse Come to Worst"-BJ ("I got a thumb and she's a son of a bitch"-His only good lyric ever)
b. The Wonder Years episode where Kevin goes looking for Winnie and finds her in the woods and there is a flashback to all their wonderful times together to the sound of Judy Collins singing "In My Life." I swear to god, that shit made me bawl.
c. We should just find Danny Perry and set him loose on them. He would start by saying, "Do you know me? I don't think you have any idea who you're messing with." Then he would crush them, body and soul before they even knew what had happened. (Danny Perry was a fine athlete and accomplished tough guy who had his heyday in the early 1980's -- Ed.)

a. sussido
b. when forest saw his son, and was worried that he was slow
c. i came up with an idea that the bathroom needed to be renovated. i told the roommate that i could get it done in a weekend and that if she went away, she'd come home to a new bathroom.

to do said renovation, i had to take off the bathroom door and needless to say, when she got home the bathroom wasn't done, but the shower was done and i still haven't put the door back on the bathroom.

i can pretty much see her naked now every time she takes a shower.

a. summer highland falls
b. my wedding & birth of my child were both extremely stirring moments
c. "in the tradition of paper-rocks-scissors...let us remind you that bats beat soccer balls"
c. billy joel story: when my and my bro were little kids we were at the beach one year and we got in an argument over just what the hell billy joel was saying in the chorus of "only the good die young." neither of us knew that he was actually saying "only the good die young." but i don't remember what our conjectures were. anyway, so we went and asked our father, who took our question to mean we were curious about sex, since the song is about some dood trying to get some virgin to put out. we ended up getting the talk, when all we wanted was the lyric. swear it's 100 percent true.
a. isn't this like asking method of death that's not so horrible: being shot in the stomach or burned alive?
b. watching the F train on the el...for whatever reason
c. sneak into the bathroom while said roommate is in the shower and then remove all possible methods they might employ to cover up, including toilet paper. listen carefully and just happen to be passing by the door when they are attempting to make a run for their room. just a thought...
a. "Man on the Corner" - Genesis
b. George Brett's home run off Gossage sinking the Yanks in 1980
c. What we really need is a behavior modification tool to really train these soccer-playing motherfuckers not to set foot on our field until 9:00 PM. The following should do quite nicely:

http://radiofence.com/dog_fence_stubborn.htm

Of course, we're gonna have a hard time getting the collars on all of them, but I'm thinking that all we need is one. If all the other bozos see one of their own set foot on our field prematurely, and then see his body convulse with the power of pure electricity pumping through it, then the others might not be so quick to prance around. Worth a try.
a. Turn It On Again (I know - Genesis)
b. the 1st time I saw "It's a Wonderful Life"
c. "No goal! Not one! No goal. At this time. No goal! Get off! Get the fuck off!"
a. Susudio
b. Blue Jays 15 -Orioles 3
c. "Hey you dickhead soccer players, You may have bigger balls, but WE have METAL BATS."
a. You make this question too easy - there are so many that aren't "so bad." first that come to mind are "take me home" by phil collins and "vienna" by billy joel (must admit I like "Vienna" - Ed.)
b.  babe (the pig movie)
c. step the fuck off, man.

(that was for the second option)

http://www.goodvibes.com/cgi-bin/sgdynamo.exe?HTNAME=museum/index.html
a. A friend of mine in elementary school called me "Spidey," which stems from "Spiderman," which comes from "Webslinger," which comes from "Web," which stems from "Weber," which is my name. I hated it at the time, but now I think it's kinda cool.
b. I just did 21 pushups, and that's without steroids. Despite my obvious massive strength, I don't think I've ever won a fistfight, except those against my little brother before he turned 12. I'm usually pretty good at talking my way to the edge of, and then out of, bar fights.
c. A couple of years ago I read that they were gonna build the Hip Hop Hall of Fame in Money Earnin' Mount Vernon. I wonder whatever happened to that plan. I once went to the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville, which is a pretty impressive place, despite the fact that (I swear) they have Billy Ray Cyrus' tank top in a glass case. Also, the sex museum in Amsterdam is way overrated.
a. That Guy with the Huge Cock
b. 25, maybe even more
c. When I was in first grade, I was in a playground with a bunch of my friends playing touch football (Nerf). Two other kids wanted to play, and we wouldn't let them. We were being asses.

2. Can take long dump without concern for time spent on toilet.
3. Can fart freely.

a. penis reduction surgery
b. Transatlantic oceanliners
c.
1. Get laid very regularly (I believe the unmarried world calls it 'sexual assault')
2. Someone else pays half the rent
3. Good friend a lawyer = divorce only a phone call away

a. Three tympanoplasties, two mastoidectomies and one right temporal craniotomy. But I've never had a cavity.
b. Rock music -- the history and state of, not how to play it.
c. In 8th grade my friend Steve and I were hired by some rich dude his family knew to dig a hole for his new satellite dish. This was 1984 when dishes were the size of hottubs. I guess it required some kind of mount that had to be buried in the ground. Anyway, we were instructed to dig a hole 6x6x6 feet. If you've ever wielded a shovel you know digging that kind of hole would be pretty labor intensive for John Henry, let alone for two scrawny pre-pubescent dorks with arms the size of string beans. We dug and dug and dug but we mostly farted around and talked about girls and whether or not the Hoodoo Gurus sucked or not. After about five hours we had a shallow six-foot-long trench about deep enough to bury Ichabod Crane in. It was a pretty pathetic sight and the look on the guy's face when he came out to inspect our day's work pretty much said it all: "Well THAT was a waste of time." I think we got paid like 40 bucks each.

Richard Marx has said the worst job in the world is making music videos. I'd say that title goes to the guy who had to mop out the buddy booths at the Male Box in Times Square. But hole diggin' has to be pretty high on the list.
a. 4 Stitches between my pinky and second toe on my right foot. EXCRUCIATING.
b. Various methods of eliminating credit card debt.
c.The worst gig I ever held down was as on the night cleaning shift at a major hotel chain. Midnight to 9am. $4.50 an hour. Once or twice a week Id get called in to clean up the bathroom in the lobby outside the hotel bar after some fuckhead blew their cookies just before arriving in front of the toilet bowl.
a. tonsillectomy, and let me tell you, that shit hurt like a motherfucker.
b. Federal Courts and Jurisdiction
c.
Receptionist/mailroom clerk for a fledgling cable network now broadcast in several homes across the nation.

Salary: started at $15,000 for the privilege.

Worst part of said job (actually 2):

-My supervisor was a crack addict. Actually I'm lying, it was crack AND heroin. When I would work at reception answering phones (by the way, that shit can get hectic), she would bring in her adopted (kidnapped?) kids and ask me and my coworker to keep an eye on them UNDER THE FRONT RECEPTION DESK. Occasionally I would go to answer the phone and it would jerk out of reach. That freaked me out until I realized it was just 'cuz there were little kids under the desk. Then THAT freaked me out.

-One day the same supervisor asked if she could borrow my piss.

Best part:

-After being promoted, life got much better. So much so, that I was able to stand on my chair and squawk like a chicken in the middle of a busy workday without getting in trouble. No one even cared. If you haven't tried this at work, I highly recommend it.
a. I passed a kidney stone once. That shit sucked.
b. Early seventies funk music and White Shadow subplots (I know that's two, but modesty be damned)
c. Immediately after graduating from college, I worked for the Olan Mills Photography Studios' telemarketing department. They used tremendous sales pressure to strong-arm old ladies and poor families into buying "special photo package deals." The catch was that the offers were only available that day, so unless the customers said yes right away, they would miss out on the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for crappy, contrived family portraits of their spouse or children or grand-children smiling unconvincingly. My title was Pick-up Man. If the customer did not have a credit card (or was quick-witted enough to lie about not having one) they would need to be able to pay by cash or check. That day. (This practice is now illegal but I think I'm ex-post-facto safe.) I would be sent out within a few moments to get their payment, with the hopes that the customers would remain too intimidated or frazzled to change their mind by the time I got there. Needless to say, I ended up buzzing on a lot of doorbells that weren't answered. The catch for me was that on top of the $7 an hour they were paying me, I got one dollar extra for each "successful mission." No compensation for miles driven or gas, mind you; one dollar if I came back with the cash. Off I went, driving upwards of twenty miles roundtrip for that golden dollar. The worst part of said job was that after a week or so of doing this (and feeling about as pathetic as the human spirit allows), the manager decided that it wasn't okay that they were paying me to sit around reading when there were no pick-ups, so I was assigned the new additional title Clean Up and Taking out the Trash Pathetic Fuck. No dollar given, no matter how many bags of film I dragged out to the nauseating trash bins provided by the Wendy's next door.
a. i think i had my adnoids removed when i was a kid. nothin' else really, i hope i didn't just jinx myself
b. kurt vonnegut
c. i was a shelf stocker for a food broker.

You see, there are certain specialty products that grocery stores only need limited quantities of. It doesn't make sense to buy right from the company, so they buy from a broker. To sweeten the deal the broker offers to have their own people stock the shelves, that was me.

I think I was paid like $10 or $12 an hour, but you never really knew how many hours it would take to do the job, because the shipments always changed.

i think the worst part was having to take shit from 3 different store managers. the worst day was a Saturday one time, in a jam packed store, I dropped (and shattered) a case of balsamic vinegar right in the middle of an aisle. i should have walked out of the store right there, but I couldn't let myself be beaten by something that happens to grocery store workers every day.

When that job ended, I swore to myself that I'd never set foot in the back storeroom of a grocery store again. And I'm proud to say that I've kept that promise going on 8 years.

What you'll be watching instead of that NCAA nonsense:

b. Underrated historical figure (with URL of accomplishments if available)
-or-
Favorite non-chocolate candy:

c. How you pick yourself up after you bottom out
-or-
Something that used to bother you, but now you accept as part of life's bullshit:

a. UVM; second consecutive (and ever) trip to the Big Dance

b. jelly bellies

c. scraping noises- metal on metal, metal on concrete, etc...

a. TERPS

b. Jolly Rancher

c. Bad Drivers. Once you realize that every one on the road is psychotic it all makes sense.

a. OK State/Manhattan

b. Green Apple Jolly Ranchers

c. It really used to bother me that so many DVDs are letterboxed, which although preserving more of the picture, tends to also make that picture pretty damn small.

I now accept this as part of life's bullshit and realize that I need for someone to give me the plasma tv.

Kozmo.com's demise really bothered me, but I now realize it was their own fault (as well as the fault of those of you who didn't use it more often to order a VCR, steak dinner, and a baby cat). Plus, now we have the fresh direct, that shit is pretty good.

Finally, the NY Times' relentless pushing of the Women's NCAA Tourney drives me nuts. Women's basketball sucks. Scientist proved that shit. The Times needs to get off its high horse (for this and other reasons) and stop force-feeding us women's basketball. It tastes like prunes.

a. Connecticut, i would like to see Texas Tech win

c. Losing my hair---shit i havent accepted that! hmmmmmm, you know what i have accepted--nice guys finish last.

a. Taser gun to shock the shit of punk asses

b. Hobosexuals Column (a column on Hobo sex)

c. Opium Den

a. 50" plasma tv

b. Verbungle at nite section

c. If i was an uncaring bastard who didnt want to spend the last days with my friends, family or my wife if i had one---i would want to spend my last days with Liz Phair. Im assuming by the way that even if i was dying i could still perform the 'art of love'. where would i be, lets say Maui around Sept through February, at a house on the beach with satellite TV, so i could watch all the baseball playoffs, and football games live as opposed to waiting for the 6 hour delay.

b. Tales of Sex in the City

a. iPod

b. What ever happened to the much anticipated *S*E*X* section?

c. I once communicated with a parrot. I was in a store and the owner had the beautiful bird in a cage. I stared him in the eyes for a few minutes and then would deliberately blink my eyes very slowly.... and before long he would mimic me. If I blinked my eyes twice, he did it. If I winked one eye, he did it. I swear to god. The shit freaked me out but definitely made me a better person. I think about it all the time. That's not supernatural but it was pretty cool.

a. air force one

b. expanded softball boxscores (I like this, under serious consideration - Ed.)

c. the world and everything in it is by definition 'natural,' and nothing is 'supernatural' no matter what it happens to be.

a. binoculars with the built in digital camera-- for my annual 4th of July mullet hunt in western PA

c. in 7th grade our social studies teacher was teaching us about some african culture and he said that after someone dies, they spend a year with the family in spirit, after one year, when it's time to leave, they knock something down in the house--something that shouldn't fall over on its own-- to let you know they're leaving.

a couple of years later, my great grandmother died and about 1 year later (i couldnt remember the actual date of her death) the shower curtain rod suddenly fell down in the middle of the night.

coincidence? i think not...

a. vibrator

b. vibrators

c. At home, vibrating with a vibrator.

a. Multiple Input to Single Output Adapter thingy for VCR,DVD,PS2 to Television

b. Links to "Over 60" porn sites.

c. On a white sandy beach with Jennifer Anniston attempting different angles of entry in order to conceive.

a. the plasma screen tv with the hdtv

b. player trading cards of softball players/ or verbungle devotees

c. Driving to high school one day, I saw an accident on the side of the road. There was an ambulance and the driver was standing with a towel on his head, his trenchcoat drenched in blood. I thought, wow, that poor son-of-a-bitch, my dad has a trench coat like that. Then I thought, wow, my dad has a car that looks a lot like that. You can guess the rest. Not in the least bit supernatural, but still weird. Never expected to come across my profusely bleeding father on the side of the highway.

Also, sometimes if I think really hard about a song I like (even if it's pretty random), it will be on the radio within 5 minutes. I'm like Zeus.

a. Katie's iPod

#16 (3/7/04)

b. Springtime is for...

c. A bad roommate experience
             -or-
   Something that you don't remember drunkenly doing, but eyewitnesses assure you that you did
             -or-
   something that combines both:

a. Sly Stone

b. Listening to "Spring Again" by Biz Markie

c. I had a roommate in college who smelled so bad that one night he came back to the room when I was asleep and I woke up choking. What a horrific experience.

a. the ice cream man

b. outdoor sex

c. Very drunk and disturbed college roommate proclaimed "I will kill you in your sleep" because I didn't think she should drink more shots. She routinely drank like a fish, eventually shacked up in a trailer with a 45-year-old bartender, and, thankfully, forgot to kill me.

a. Man-on-woman sex

b. Fucking

c. Freshman year I roomed (not by choice) with a dood who had a little bit of a gun fetish. He also owned *every* Jethro Tull album. He sooooo sucked. This was the fall of 1988 and he campaigned for Bob Dole in the GOP primary. He owned a crossbow. I shit you not. Can you believe that?

Sophomore year I had a roommate for one day. I got back to the room at 1 p.m. on the first day of classes and he was still in the top bunk with some girl he had met the night before. The room was all hot and musty and dark. There I am with all my newly purchased books and my shit not even unpacked. To my credit, this was one of the few times in my life where I looked injustice in the face and won the stare-down. I looked up at him in the bunk and I said "You can't live here." And, to my surprise, he replied, "Yeah. I think I'm going to drop out of college." And he did. I never saw him again. A week later, the news spread that I was living alone in a double. There were these doods on my floor who wanted their buddy on the floor. So he came up to me and asked if I he could move in, then said "I don't really need your permission but I'm asking you." And I said: "You're not moving in here."

On the recommendation of a friend, I roomed with this dood senior year. This dood was a weightlifter and took steroids. He had emotional and legal problems to begin with. One day he hurt his elbow trying to dunk a basketball and came home and took every plate in the cupboard and smashed them against the kitchen wall, one by one. When I got home there was smashed porcelain everywhere and crescent-shaped dents in the drywall. I am still friends with the guy who recommended this roommate, but our friendship was downgraded from like a Category Three friendship to a Category One.

a. Young MC

b. Hitler

c. For a stretch in college I had sex semi-regularly with a sorority chick whose roommate was a very studious Vietnamese girl. A real early-to-bed, early-to-the-library type. My friend and I would stumble in drunk at like 2 am and get it on. The roommate, whose bed was maybe 3 feet away, would, of course, hear us come in and then feign sleep as we made the most of our university experience. One time, mid-coitus, I looked over and made eye contact with the roommate. She snapped her eyes shut immediately but I stone cold busted her checking me out. Having a roommate is bad enough but having to actually share ONE room is just not right, especially when you're 18 and horny.

a. Rue Paul, you better work

b. people who believe in love, which i don't, only lust

c. Walking in on my roommate choking his chicken in front of the bathroom sink while brushing his teeth, simultaneous massaging of gums and the hard one.

c. Had a lengthy, intimate conversation with an oscillating fan. Ok, that wasn't me but it did happen.

a. Chef Ef

b. Fingering underage girls at Mardi Gras

c. As we were getting ready to go out for the night, my roommate did approximately 15 shots of vodka in less than two hours. Primping himself, he decided he didn't like the way his hair looked and punched the mirror, shattering it. He cut his hand into ribbons, then puked. I wasn't exactly sober myself and I was damned if I was going to let him ruin my night. So I put him to bed, when what he really needed was stitches and a good stomach pumping. Miraculously he was still alive when I got home. I'm a very bad roommate.

a. urkel

b. chumps in love

c. giving my roommate a black eye

a. 2 live crew

b. daytona with 18 yr olds and guys 20 years their seniors and hidden video cams

c. drinking out of the toilet

c. While drunk Freshman year at a party I helped throw, I was told that in a period of 5 minutes, I stole some freaky chick's phone, grabbed a bottle of prune juice we had supplied as an alternate beverage, grabbed the 3/4 lbs. of liver we had supplied as a snack and threw all of it down the stairs while screaming curses at the top of my lungs and laughing wildly.

I don't believe a word of it.

a. NY Mets

b. Snow, hey its snowing right now

a. doug henning

b. magic

c. shooting my butler

c. After a nice long night of pounding the bud, my companions and I retired to a friends house to smoke some weed.

I saw this one guy take an enormous bong hit.

He immediately began coughing wildly - he'd inhaled down the wrong pipe.

He gestured towards me, and, sensing something was wrong, I instinctively punched him in the nuts.

I have never seen a human in such agony who lived to tell the tale.

Anyway, I regret not finishing the job and offing him right there.

a. Armstrong Williams

b. Chris Rock: "fuck it"

c. Do not attempt to adjust your radio...

a. kelly clarkson- though i hate to qualify her as a celebrity

b. mighty dog- i just think it's funny that it's for little dogs, but it's called 'mighty'

c. while in college i decided i wanted to go into television production. my best friends brother, who was about 5 years into a producton career offered to help me out. he got me an internship and introduced me to people....

anyway, he calls me one afternoon and says that the circus is coming to town and he's shooting a piece on the elephant march through the tunnels (when they close a tunnel off in the middle of the night so the ringling brothers can parade their elephants from jersey to MSG). He says that they're desperate for a PA who can drive their production van through the tunnel while they videotape the elephants.

i agree and make plans to take the train into the city for my first 'PA gig.' On the way to the train i decided to stop and get a soda and i end up missing the train by about 30 seconds. i call him to tell him and he's pissed. he tells me if i cant get up there by they time they need me not to bother.

the dumbest part of my whole endeavour is that i had a car on campus at the time and could have driven up there faster than the train would have gotten me--- but since i had never driven into the city before, i was afraid something bad might happen and it was too risky.

occasionally i think about it and marvel about what a pussy i can be sometimes

b. gums in the back of my mouth- i never got my wisdom teeth out and now they've impacted. every few months one of the impacted teeth will become irritated, all i do is go a little longer with the listerine, it usually goes away after a few days.

c. This one time a few days ago, a bouncer at emeril live got in my face because we were hanging around after the show and potentially in the way of a guy with a cart.

My wife works there, and I knew the bouncer knew it, so I felt inclined to linger as long as I saw fit. Before I even saw the cart he started telling us that we were getting in the way, and before I could get out the words 'Who's way?' this guy with a cart shows up and needs to get past me.

I ended up just getting out of the way, as I would have even if the bouncer wasn't there to instruct me. I just walked over to the other side of the counter and refused to look at the guy again.

Sometimes I wish I were an angry drunk, I'd have such better stories.
a. Jessica Simpson/the MTV

b. shoulder/badly-healed torn labrum

c. So AJR and I were in the Bar with the App, and we were all getting down to business with the drink. Thing is AJR and I were pounding the beer, App was pounding white russians--pint size. So, the App starts messing around with the jukebox in plain view of the bartender (who happens to be a real jackass). Anyway, the bartender gets pissed at App, who in turn blames us. One thing leads to another and the App starts slapping AJR in the face, which I thought was pretty funny. AJR didn't like it so much. After about 4 slaps, AJR launched into his patented leaping strangle-hold App throttle. The whole bar erupted, not to join the fight, but yelling at them to stop. I grabbed AJR's arm, but he threatened to punch me, and meant it. So I let go. Then all these older guys were yelling at us to get out. There were LOTS of older guys. So we offered to fight them. I politely asked one of them if he would like to discuss things outside. He declined. Thank god. Then I pulled my own patented move: throwing AJR and myself out of the bar. I looked the bartender dead in the eye and said, "we're outta here!" That doesn';t include the App, mind you; he stayed. So I don't know if we were officially 86'd. On the way out, I told a guy that his mouth was gonna get him in trouble some day. I think he was about 50 years old. I'm tough like that.

a. Paula Zahn, partially because she's so despicable that it makes her hotter

b. My knees 'cause I'm a lazy fuck who gave up on stretching and running about ten years ago

c. There was this certain apartment that we all seemed to congregate in back in the '80s. The person who's place it was seemed to enjoy the fact that it was his apartment that we always ended up at. However, he seemed to devilishly relish the power of the situation some and first introduced me to the concept of "The Boot." The actual Boot was given a lot less than the threat of it was bandied about. I think I actually got The Boot just once--though I do remember its application not seeming completely just. The main recipient was a kid named Adam Sales, who more often than not was quite deserving. But there were times when after watching Adam receive the boot and trudge sadly down that long, long hallway that I thought, "There but for the grace of SRC go I." (Sorry I was such a monster. - Ed.)

a. Al Roker

b. do i have to pick just one?

c. Brought beer from a deli into Corner Bistro. Attempted to reason with the "bouncer" explaining that it was in the bar's economic best interest to let us stay b/c eventually we would start drinking their beer. Suprisingly enough he had none of this.

a. Jimmy Fallon, NBC

b. Girly Parts-- PMS

c. Obtaining drinks (I was underage) by:

1) Suckering/flirting with older men in the 7-11 parking lot. And, at one point, unknowingly asking an off-duty NYC cop to buy a case of bud ice. (would do again) 2) Taking matters into my own hands by shoplifting from 7-11. (would not do again)

Smoking joints to prepare for my job as a supermarket cashier. (would do again)

Stealing friend's parents' car for joy ride. (would do again)

Hitchhiking. (would not do again)

b. Best sunny afternoon drinking song:


c. Your trespassing, hitchhiking, or shoplifting story (secondhand and made-up stories are acceptable):

 

a. Let's just say golden showers for her

b. Anything by Merle Haggard

c. Going into my neighbors house in junior high when nobody was home. Someone forgot to lock the door and only the screen door was closed. Wandered around their house , found myself in the parent's bedroom. Went through Mrs. Bischoff's panties and saw Mr. Biscoff's underwear. And as all horny young breaking and enterers, I sniffed her panties too. The first time my face touched silk. the ones in their laundry pile smelled a bit sour, though at that age I didn't put together why. (maybe the smell of piss on those panties has some correlation to why I enjoy golden showers now as a middle aged man.) I guess this could be seen as disturbing by some, I guess I wonder where young people learn to do inappropriate things like that, considering the life-experience that is usually lacking up to that point.

a. on the pink taco

b. monday. monday

c. Getting detained for taking a package of skittles.
a. Spock's Cock

b. 'Darlington County' followed by 'Peg'

c. I did a lot of trespassing back in the day with my crew in Md.

One time we had a stepladder and we watched swim team sisters _______ and _______ _________ taking showers in their house. That shit was on fire.

Then another time my buddy went a-courtin' on _______ ___________'s roof and a police incident ensued when she was badly startled by the figure at her window. Parents got called. And even though I was completely innocent except for my presence I took the whole rap.

a. Christopher Reeve's limp noodle dick

b. Wake Up Dead by Megadeth

c. I got picked up hitchhiking by an English teacher at my high school. It was the first time I learned that Saabs have their ignition on the floor. He took me to clearing in the woods where he tied me to a tree and fucked my ass repeatedly while quoting from the Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner. I failed English that year.
a. I peed off a balcony in college, onto the head of an unsuspecting pedestrian below. Not on purpose - he basically walked right into my stream. Sorry, dude.

b. Fisherman's Blues - The Waterboys. This song is perfect for any weather and any time of day, in fact. If you don't know it, seek it out. You won't be disappointed. (Know it, love it. -Ed.)

c. In college again: a brewery in town had a giant, 2-story beer can on its roof. It was right near our favorite bar and after last call sometimes we would scale, not unlike Spiderman, the wall of the brewery. The place was along the highway so we had to race across the roof to avoid being spotted by passing motorists, then climb the can. There was a lip inside the can where we could sit and smoke without being seen. Climbing up there and running across that roof in the dead of night with a beer buzz on was about as much fun as I've had.
a. TRUMP'S WEAVE

b.  aber jetzt muss gleich ein bier hier

c. Gorgeous summer afternoon circa July 1985.

K-mart in Rutalnd, VT.

Us - A bunch of CIT's @ Camp Sangamon, "The Camp with the Pioneer Spirit"

In the true Pioneer Spirit, with $5-10 each to our name and an entire "day-off" to enjoy in Rutland, we decided to start it with some light shop-lifting @ K-mart. We were, of course, caught red-handed. Well, actually my friend - who we will call D. to protect his identity - was caught and taken in to the wormy manager's (picture the principal in Ferris Bueller's) office for a shakedown and questioning.

In the ball-hugging of my Hawaiian jams, I had stashed my loot of Hershey's kisses. In order to prevent the kisses from falling out of my shorts I walked stiff-legged out of the store, looking as if I had just shat myself. Perhaps, my unseemly gait gave my would be apprehenders pause allowing my narrow escape without a criminal record.

By the way, I don't think they pressed charges on D.

a. Jessica Simpson/all of it

b. "Honky Tonk Women" - The Rolling Stones

c. One time, I got pulled over for running a stop sign. Turned out my license was suspended at the time. So when the cop came back, he said, "son, you're under arrest." I responded by blasting out a huge fart. I don't know if he heard it. Mind you, I didn't shit my pants.

a. Helen Hunt's Cunt and Tommy Chong's Dong

b. Skyrockets in Flight (Afternoon Delight)

c. This one day I trespassed, shoplifted, and hitchhiked all in the same day. I woke up and found a Bjorn Borg-style headband on the floor near my bed and I was wearing those nuthugger shorts. Then I started hearing Wolfman Jack on the radio and I knew something was different. I had been transported back in time to the 70s! When I was hitchiking I smoked weed and then I offered up some Fresca (shoplifted) to the trucker who was hauling me away from the county mountie who saw me trespassing. You would simply not believe the taste of Fresca if you drank it today ... it's like drinking in August of '77. There used to be little snowflakes on the can. And the pop tabs ... they used to pop right off the can and if you shook it you could get the fresca to shoot like 20 feet into the air. Ha.

a. Wade Bogg's hog and Boss Hogg's nog

b. Sweet Melissa (the Filipino Hooker) - 2 Live Crew Remix

a. I saw a friend of mine once piss all over the cheese tray at a Sweet Sixteen party

b. "Tush" - ZZ Top

c. My parents once picked up a hitchhiker when we were in Montauk in the mid-70's. He didn't kill us.

a. Bathroom sink @ B&G (wasn't drunk & didn't realize until I was in mid-stream)

b. Ich will wieder heim

c. LL Bean Store - Freeport, ME

I wasn't on-hand for this one, but I love it.

A group of Bates College students walks into LL's at 2AM - the mothership store is open 24-7. They proceed to walk out of the store with a canoe and two paddles. Obliging store employees hold the doors for them as they leave.

I can't help but smile.

a. Ayn Rand's glands
a. Dubya's Limpdick

b. Fuck Tha Police

c. I jacked a NJ turnpike toll booth worker because I didn't have enough money for coffee and a hot dog.

 

#10 (2/13/04)

a. First Name and Last initial of the other person who was involved the first time you touched boobies/had your boobies touched, and the approximate date of this tremendous event

-or-

First Name and Last initial of favorite cast member or character on "Hill Street Blues," and any date in history:


b. Worst early 90's dance song (that you danced to -- you know you did):


c. A trial you sat on (the charges, the verdict, your feelings) or any other courthouse experience

-or-

A less than ideal experience you had with a guy named "Tony" (if your name is Tony, any less than ideal experience will do):

 

a. 980 A.D.

b. please don't go

c. there was this one time when tony and i were working two holes. We had our two knobs, and there was a lot of screwing, but he had a lot more time to work on the lower hole while i was kind of stuck trying to make it work above him, but boy did he take his sweet time. It was hot and i could smell him hard at work. i was sweating too, a little too close to another man if you know what i mean, especially if you've ever done double duty. but he finally finished and after he moved out of the way it was easier to do my business.

c. When I think of Howard Dean 'making his stand' out there in Wisconsin, I think of a big high school parking lot rumble, where there's a lot of talk, then the first punch is thrown, then there's a lot of commotion, then everybody scatters except for the real fighters.

Then there's that one loud mouth as far away as possible screaming and taunting and telling the fighter to come there.

a. Amy O.- Summer 87- Actually there was no touching, but during a game of truth or dare, we had to go into the other room and switch shirts (I actually remember she was wearing a 'Shop-A-Saurus' shirt). All i saw was her bra, but she may have been one of a handful of kids in our grade who had ever seen MY boobies. I still think that's why she agreed to do it.

b. I danced to them all, but I actually had a routine for "Ice Ice Baby"

c. In 7th grade, as part of a social studies thing, they brought us all down to the municipal courthouse so we could watch the action.

Well wouldn't you know, there's some poor sap defending himself on a DWI charge, with about 60 kids to witness.

A few weeks later, a couple of us were standing outside the bowling alley, waiting for our ride home, and would you know, the guy walks out. I take my loud mouthed friend aside and whisper to him who it is. He's not sure, so he asks the guy.

It was the first time I ever heard someone say "I have no idea what you're talking about." when I knew they were completely lying...

a, c: One time, after I was manhandled in public, handcuffed, dragged through a gasping crowd of onlookers on my heels, searched and then chained to the wall of a seedy New Jersey jail cell for intense questioning, I reported to court to plead my case--among burglars and drug traffickers and mother rapists--only to be yelled at by the judge for committing such a heinous crime, and then trying to defend myself.

How, the judge asked me, could I possibly light up a cigarette INSIDE the train station??

I waited for the courtroom to break out in laughter as the hidden camera was revealed. Nothing came but the gavel and the verdict: GUILTY AS CHARGED.

And in that jail cell, coincidentally, was the first time I had my boobies touched.
a. Luke M., 1990ish

b. I'm Too Sexy - Right Said Fred

c. This guy, Tony, an aspiring physical therapist from college, tried to woo me by suggesting we break into a spa he worked in as a massage therapist... he thought we could go hot tubbing and then he could give me a rub-down with hot oils. Despite his obvious sleaze, I found Tony to be a funny, harmless fellow. Given this, as well as the high beer quotient that evening, I decided to break into the spa for a tour (where I did NOT get rubbed down or hot tubbed) and later crashed at his house (where, again, I did not get rubbed down or hot tubbed). The next morning Tony continued the story-book romance by taking me to the Denny's grand slam breakfast buffet, where he discussed his massage skills and his potential job prospects in a serous attempt to impress me. As you might guess, Tony never got his grand slam.

a. Joyce D./October 14, 1066

b. OPP

c. -I made an appearance on behalf of a client in front of an administative law judge for the social security administration. Our client was seeking disability benefits for severe emotional and physical problems. At the hearing, we were clearly informed that the proceedings would be tape recorded. In fact, we were told to wait until they pressed "record." At one point, our client could not answer a question posed by the judge because she was crying. I answered for her and then said, idiotically, "your honor, I would like the record to reflect that my client was unable to answer the question herself." To which the Judge responded, "Mr. ___, I think the tape recording will more than adequately preserve her silence." I'm stupid. Whatever, we won that shit.

- When I was a freshman on the baseball team in high school, Tony R., a junior and a bully would conduct "cup checks" by poking kids in the nads with a bat, not hard but hard enough (Tony R. clearly had problems). He never got me, but he got a few poor souls. I guess that taught them. Still a mean SOB.

a. some chick at the beach - 19 eighty-something

b. Personal Jaysus

c. We awarded some family 10 grand because their faces got hit on the plastic divider in a taxi cab, which is the single most-common reason for ER visits in NYC.

The plaintiff's lawyer stared at us in disbelief because the award was a serious slap in the face. I think he was gunning for mid-200ks.

We jurors decided to pay for the daughter's plastic surgery and nothing else because the daughter's Mom and Dad were clearly trying to milk out a big payday, which was bogus.

This trial was in civil court in downtown Manhattan in Oct., 2001 and the stench of the still-smouldering WTC permeated Lower Manhattan in those days. If you lit a laser printer on fire in your living room you could emulate the smell.

The defendants' attorneys were an incompetent lot. One in particular was such a sad sack that her defense alone probably spurned us to rule in favor of the plaintiffs. It was ironic because she understood our judgement to be a victory for her lawyering skills when it was in fact a direct result of her incompetence.

There was a huge disconnect between the idiocy of this civil trial and the 3,000 people laying entombed a half-mile away under the fallen WTC. It was hard to sit there and participate in the trial but this fact was not lost on the judge and he told us it was our civic duty.

And you can imagine how bad this particular defense lawyer must have been since she drove us to rule in favor of the plaintiff even against this backdrop of tragedy.

We jurors also went and drank beer after the trial one day. That was fun.

PS. I have a Tony story but yeah I don't want to get into it.

a. I don't remember whose boobs I first touched, but the first time I ever "went to third" was during a downpour in the back seat of a tiny car while "I Love A Rainy Night" played on the radio. The kicker is it wasn't the Eddie Rabbit original, but the version by the CHIPMUNKS.

b. What was that crap tune by C&C Music Factory? (as if you don't know. -Ed.)

c. The last time I was sitting around at jury duty waiting to be chosen or set free, they showed us "Seabiscuit" on a giant-screen TV. On DVD no less. Sucky movie but I appreciated the gesture. Gotta love L.A.
a. Nicole Simpson

b. pump up the jam

c. not guilty, oj simpson

#9 (2/10/04)

a. Least imposing superhero (actual or create your own):

b. Favorite bar in the whole world (Name/Location):

c. A job you held that you didn't take seriously, and something you did on said job that exemplifies your bad attitude:

 

a. Matter-Eater Lad from the Legion of Superheroes. I swear to god: http://www.supermanartists.comics.org/superwhoswho/mattereaterlad-adv303.JPG

b. Metronome in Burlington, Vermont because they actually paid me to DJ there.

c. I worked for $3.50 and hour (the minimum wage was $3.25) at a store called the Athletic Shoe Factory back in '88 in San Francisco. People would ask me to help them choose what sneaker to buy. I would always tell them that one had "better support" than the other, the "better support" sneaker chosen at random depending on my mood that day. Did I mention that was $3.50 an hour without commissions?
a. Lettuce Leaf Macaroni Boy

b. Tossup: Fox and Hounds (DC) or Phoenix Park/7B (NYC) or Nectar's (Burlington Vt.)

c. It was my job on Feb. 3, 2002, to keep drunkie Steve and drunkie G. Web. from pounding each other in a Brooklyn nightclub and I failed. I tried to wrap up Steve while attempting to prevent him from going after G Web? (I think - things are hazy).

Anyway it's possible - POSSIBLE - I am the one who scratched his eye although I can't be sure.

It certainly was not a surprise attack or a cold cock. The problem was I underestimated Steve's size. He's bigger than you would think (Giant Steve? -Ed.). Next time I'm going low instead of high.

Another guy, Joe Popp, was the last man in and finally stopped the "play fight," which was rapidly spiraling out of control.

I do feel for Steve because nobody needs a gash like that.

Then there was the time I left Pier One Imports in a huff and threatened the manager "you better not give me a bad reference."

a. The Fucking Wondertwins

b. The Dutch Cabin/Poughkeepsie, NY

c. 1. At my job right out of college, I would sometimes stand on my desk chair and squawk like a chicken at the top of my lungs. My boss used to yell at me. Prick.

    2.During a summer job selling clothes, my friend and I would take turns farting on the neatly folded cotton sweaters.

a. mytylplyx

b. coyote ugly

c. Food Prep at a place called Amigos

We were supposed to wear gloves but it wasn't enforced. I remember having a gash on the side of my hand that was scabbing. It was before dinner started and I picked off the scab, dropped it into a bowl of bacon bits. cause I was hard like that. Somebody enjoyed my scab.

a. Super Potatohead Man!

b. Maggie's on the SU Hill

c. Worked in a pizza place for 8 years during high school and during the summer while in college.

The girls who worked there were responsible for tossing pepperoni on the pizza, as the men were cutting the tray of pizza into 28 squares. One time, the owner's son, who is also the least competent guy there, complained that I wasn't throwing the pepperoni fast enough. So, in front of about 10 customers, most of them regulars, I took two handfuls of pepperoni and threw them right onto the pizza and walked away. (Did I mention we were also under the influence at the time? I guess that could exemplify a bad attitude in and of itself?)

a. plasticman

b. diamonds

c. pizza delivery- the most annoying thing was when someone would come in and ask for a pizza to be delivered because they had to do a few more errands before going home. They would prepay and leave and I would deliver their pizza for them at said time. The same people always did it too. So one day I pull in their driveway, drop the pizza on their doormat , ring the bell, and run back to my car , pulling out as fast as i could. They complained but it was well worth not getting the $1 tip. that 's pretty bad ,right? i'm bad.

c. Describe a night (or day) when by all rights you should have died, or at least had your life dramatically damaged forever:
 

a. david faustino

b. make love not war

c. Driving home with a friend who was tripping on acid. As he drove he kept saying " I'm playing space invaders, look at them on the windshield " I was too wasted to care. Not sure how we made it home.

a. a very young marlon brando

b. WWII- USA

c. Not really a day, more of a quick situation.

I was at work and we were building a platform for a split level staircase. It was a platform we had built a hundred times, but I recently decided it was stronger if I nailed it a certain way.

Now mind you we don't EVER follow any of the safety rules posted on our power tools so in addition to NOT wearing safety goggles I was holding the nail gun upside down and firing up into a piece of wood I was hunched over. Basically the only thing separating the gun and my face was a 2x4.

Long story short, I pull the trigger and instead of hearing that nice 'thunk' (indicating the nail hit) I hear the sound the gun makes when it slips and the nail goes flying and a micro-fraction-of a second later I feel something hit my eyebrow and now my skull is vibrating.

Although I was completely unscathed (not a scratch) I came within about a half an inch of putting a 10 Penny nail square into my left eye.

I still think about whether I would have gotten a glass one or a patch. Probably a patch, because I hate lazy eyes.

a. Lorenzo Lamas

b. Falklands War (on the British side)

c. sounds like every day for me

a. Pete North (I resemble him in the cock department)

b. Afghanistan - U.S.; WWII - Allies

c. I went over a cliff skiing off-trail in Bad Gastein, Austria. But my momentum carried me rightward and I landed on a snow field - instead of plunging 100 feet to the rocks directly beneath me - and basically escaped unharmed with a few scrapes on my face.

As I went over the cliff, I looked down while in mid-air, and all I could see below me was rocks.

I really thought I was a-gonna die.

My last words would have been: "Shit."

I don't know whether it was the beer I had at lunch but I've never drank and skied since.

a. Frankie Muniz

b. Cola Wars, on the side of the insurgent RC

c. I was in New Orleans for spring break, on mescaline. We drank a bunch of those godawful street booze concoctions and did the standard French Quarter crawl - some strippers here, some music there. Same old shit. After a while we wanted something "different," outside the stereotypical Nawlins party scene. Something a little dangerous. Around 3AM we took a stroll. Two blocks, then four, then six. Before long the lights and sounds of Bourbon Street were a speck in the distance and it was quiet and dark and pretty scary. Shadowy figures huddled in doorways conducting who knows what kind of business. If you've ever been to N.O. you know there are parts of town - most of them, in fact - where you feel like you're taking your life in your hands just walking. Anyway we started talking to a (presumably) homeless guy who was hitting us up for smokes. We fed him cigarettes and sat on a stoop for awhile. He was a bit schizo but nice enough, though in my own addled state I began convincing myself that he was setting us up for something bad. Creepy guys started hanging around, whispering to our new friend. He would say shit back like, "No, man, they're cool. They're cool." Eventually he asked us if we wanted to buy some drugs, and we did. We walked alongside him, with his shady friends following about a block behind, like carrion birds. At a burnt out building he motioned for us to follow him inside. My friends and I exchanged dubious glances and suddenly sobered/wised up. Without saying a word to each other we each instantly decided we should probably beat it out of there. We turned around and headed back to the friendly, vomit-tinged confines of Bourbon Street, sure that we would be jumped at any second. I still wonder what fate awaited us inside that abandoned building.

a. John F. Kennedy

b. I'm such a fucking wimp I didn't even help defend Lex against the hoods.

c. One year I lived on a ski mountain and I had successfully gotten down the mountain all of once, with a bunch of help. I didn't know how to make turns, only how to slow myself down by making a "v-wedge." I felt all cocky one night and took the last lift for the evening up to the top of the mountain by myself. When I got to the top, it dawned on me that I was the only one up there and that I actually had to ski down slopes that seemed way more scary in the dark. Telling myself that I was being a pussy, I finally got up the nerve to push myself off. As I started picking up speed way too quickly, I suddenly realized how there were fucking huge drops and huge trees all around me and how there was no way that anyone should be legally allowed to put themselves in such a dangerous situation and that basically, I was a dead man. I somehow made it down without falling, v-wedging it so hard that I was sure my knees were going to blow.

a. the guy who played richie valens brother in the movie la bamba

b. french - indian war, side with the indians

b. Chondromalacia in left knee (like J. Stackhouse)

c. You got a thing for bad memories.

Growing up, my parents were open in discussing sex, drugs, etc. And I guess I didn't realize the bar was set differently for rest of society. So in 8th grade, before some class, I was in the bathroom and ____ _______, a friend of our family, was in the stall smoking weed. The door was open and I remember I looked in and we made eye contact. It was a weird moment.

I thought it was funny and started making jokes about it in class with a couple friends. Somehow it got back to the teacher and after class I found myself in the principal's office. The principal literally shook me down for my testimony with a threat to suspend me if I didn't give up the offender. In retrospect, I should have sucked it up, but I told the principal the story.

This was a private school and the rules were super harsh against this type of infraction. This guy, who was four years older than me, was on his way to becoming student body president - probably on his way to an Ivy League school I can't quite remember - and I knocked his little life way off kilter. He was suspended and he might have gotten kicked out. I can't remember. It was bad.

His little sister, who was in my grade, forgave me though and her parents did too. But this one "friend" of the guy, who probably sold him the weed, kicked my ass in the parking lot after school a few weeks later. Worst charlie horse I have ever had in my life right in the back of the thigh.

Moral of the story: Never assume that you won't kick up a shitstorm if you make jokes. Other moral: When in doubt, shut the fuck up.

a. Double Down (If I bought it with money won playing Blackjack)

b. i have extraordinary eyesight

c. one time in 2nd Grade, someone decided to write "SHIT" on the bathroom wall, and they wrote it IN shit to really drive the point home (pretty expressive for a 3rd grader).

Anyway, the principal makes an announcement at lunch that he'd really like to know who did this. And through the grapevine, I find out it's Scott Ferrari, from one of the baddest families in town. So I head on down to the office and let Mr. Paul know what I knew.

He thanks me for coming forward with this information and assures me they'll look into it, and that was done. When I got home and told my father, even he questioned my weak evidence for tattling.

Not sure if Scotty ever got in trouble for it or if anyone even knew I did it, but I know that a couple of weeks later at the lunchtime 'school wide rain day coloring contest,' judged solely by Mr. Paul, guess who bagged the top prize...

a. This Shit's Goin' Down

b. Ear wax, lots of it

c. Bit myself in 1st grade and blamed it on Winston Fisher who had a history of doing such things. He had to go sit it the corner. Little fucker deserved it, too, because he had kicked me in the stomach the day before. So I stone cold tattled his ass.

a. the animal instinct

b. A MOLE on the A HOLE

c. Once I told on my brother: my dad found one of his pornos had been watched, must have not been where he left it in the scene. When he asked me, I told him i had seen my brother watching it. He got whooped. I felt bad hearing him cry, getting the fury, especially since I'm the one who watched it. Scarring memory, still saddens me. Fear of consequence, Seeing the innocent punished and the guilty getting away. I guess things aren't that different in the non adult world, it's just the scale of things.

a. Wet Bitch

b. I have a peculiar & overdeveloped forearm muscle on the inside of my right arm.

c. When I was about 7, my friend and I used to steal candy cigarettes and other assorted goodies from the local stationery store. My friend used to visit this store with her family every sunday after church. Over time she felt increasingly guilty and confessed our sins to her parents, who intern called my parents. That next sunday she was forced to go to the store after church and tearfully apologize to the owners. My athiest parents gave me a lecture about stealing, and probably grounded me for a day. I also remember feeling irritated that this God person made her tell on me... I thought he should lighten up (especially since she initiated the stealing).

b. I only tip waiters, barkeeps and strippers

c. In college my roommate and I set out one night to see Public Enemy open up for Anthrax in a city 200 miles east. (Remember the heady days of the crossover 90s? Anthrax had covered and the P.E. anthem 'Bring the Noise' and the two went on to record a version of the song together, then embarked on a joint tour.) After smoking a few doobies and picking up a six pack of Milwaukee's Best we hit the highway for the 3+ hour drive. We were having a fine time, laughing, chain smoking Marlboro Lights and cranking the tunes (Wasn't college grand? My roommie even had a giant subwoofer in his old Buick). We listened to the entire Replacements album 'Pleased To Meet Me' (it's funny the things you remember) and about half of some other tape before we realized we were heading... not east, but west. By this time it was already around 8 o'clock. We did a u-turn and drove about 90 miles an hour all the way to the show. We got there about midnight and missed both group's sets. We walked in the door just in time to hear the final few riffs of the joint encore, 'Bring the Noise,' with Scott Ian's 'Thank yous, goodnight' and Flava Flav's 'Yeeeeah, boyeeeee.' Then we had to drive 200 miles home, out of beer and weed. Don't do drugs, kids.

a. Any of the guys who didn't go to the original shoot

b.  it's the one time of year I don't shake HIM down

c. Mike could field a bunt by Clemens and then nail him in the back of his fat Texas head as he runs to first.

3. Make a series of Photoshop pictures of Piazza and Roger's wife, as if they were taken by a private investigator and send it to the house.

a. Corn beef and Hash

b. If negative currency existed I'd give them $- 20.00

c. Ice Cube on his first tour (the AmeriKKKa's most wanted tour). I was the only white person and I realized then how artificial my "hip hop" look was. I felt self conscious through most of the show and couldn't even put my hands in the air and wave em like i just didn't care. But nowadays it's okay as all lines are blurred between groups and it's more about $ then being hard like cube used to be before he also sold out to the Anaconda.


2/2/04 (#5):

a. Favorite Mormon:

b. Toughest animal you could beat in a fight and the fighting style you would employ to do it:

c. Something you did or still do that your parents don't know about:

Thanks to all who responded.

a. Elizabeth Smart

b. Black Bear. (I would poke him right in the eyes, one after the other.)

c. When I was in about the fifth grade, I was pretty much a goody-goody kinda kid. My neighbor Liza, however, was not. She was two years older than me, wore black "muscle shirts" (most of them homemade), and was really into ACDC. She was also dating Joe, a highschool drop out. One day, we went to ride our bikes at the church parking lot. Liza and Joe brought along some weed. I had never seen the stuff, and wanted nothing to do with it. (Remember, I was about 11!) However, to insure I wouldn't tell Liza's parents about the illicit drug use, they forced me to take a hit, OR they threatened to tell my parents I did, anyway. So, I was introduced to pot, even though I didn't know how to inhale. For weeks after, Liza would haunt me in the cafeteria. She would publicly threaten to tell my parents, teachers, friends, etc. that I did drugs. One day, I couldn't take it anymore. So, I was in the shower and on the foggy window finger-wrote, "LSD". Which meant, to me, Liza Sucks Dick. Later that day, when mom was taking a shower the "LSD" came back. She FREAKED. She thought I was promoting the drug. I told her I wasn't. I didn't tell her my implied meaning of "LSD". I figured I knew I wasn't on LSD, so I wouldn't get in trouble for that, BUT I would be punished for promoting Liza's sucking of the dick. In the end, I broke down about my pot use. I wasn't allowed to play with Liza and her high school drop out boyfriend anymore. I was never questioned about LSD use, again, and NEVER told mom what I meant in the shower that day.

a. joseph smith

b. silver back gorilla- i would just rush him and jamb my fingers in his nose and eyes...if need be, i might kick him in the nuts too (it would hurt, right?)

c. when i was about 8 years old i was sitting on the front porch and the neighbor we didn't like drove by. as soon as we made eye contact, i decided i should mouth the F-word.

he stopped his "conversion van", backed up and proceeded to yell at me (or pick a fight...if it came to that, he had me). before too long, my father came out to see what the problem was.

"your son just said the f-word to me"

"no dad, i didnt, i just did this: (scraping my front teeth across my lip)"

"well he said the f-word to me.." (trying to pick a fight with my dad)

(dad- interrupting) "Are you the guy with the dogs?"

"yeah"

"well, dont worry, ill take care of it"

And my father never said a word about it after that.

he still doesnt know that the guy was right.

i guess im lucky that the guy wasnt a pedophile, because it probably would have been a turn on and that story might have a totally different ending...

a. Jimmy Osmond

b. largish, agitated budgerigar; Royce Gracie grapple

c. fucked the bejeezus out of time itself and wound up engaged and betrothed to a Jewish girl

a. Either Jim McMahon or the girl who sits next to me at my field placement. I can't quite get up the guts to interrogate her about the whole thing. Or the two guys who showed up at my dorm in college to try to convert my friend while another housemate ran upstairs and started blasting "Missionary Man" by the Eurythmics.

b. I used to win wrestling matches with my dog all the time and she sent one of her dog walkers to the E.R.

a. Name, fake name, or porno name (name of your first pet followed by the street you grew up on):

b. Favorite Late-night Drunken Meal:

c. Your best summer and  3 reasons why:

Perhaps the questions were a bit lame this time, but I still got more great answers from everybody (including multiple references to a certain summer song).  There are so many that I am going to post them on their own page.

a. Birdie Perry

b.  whole chicken with extra-tasty bones

c. 1997

bang, bang, bang!

a. Liz Phair

b. Pizza With Extra Sausage

c. My favorite summer. Man, every day I just you know get out there and try to live my life. There are ups and downs. There was this one summer a long time ago when I was at camp with Julia Roberts. We didn't really talk but then I wasn't really that social back in the day. We were on the same rowing mini-day though and we rowed a boat together. I think she gave me the sex look.

Then there was the summer when I got my first guitar. That was a blessing even though at the time I was miserable. Something drew me toward it and kept me off the streets and (for the most part) away from drugs. In retrospect that was one of my finest summers, even though at the time I wasn't smart enough to realize it.

But the best summer? It has to be the Summer of 2003. Because I finally made a big-selling record. And I finally hooked up with some real competent producers. I have to say - it was priceless to read all the over-intellectualized hipster dorks whining that I sold out and made a "glam" record. It was like they just couldn't handle the fact that I was making solid pop music instead of the half-baked product Matador stuck me with.

Hey - my hit song is going to be featured on the final episode of "Friends." Wow. I'll have to call my agent to see how big that check's gonna be. Yeah - 2003 was definitely the summer I finally learned that being beautiful and talented is a blessing and not a curse.

c. Summer of '69:

1. I got my first real six string

2. Spent my evenings down at the drive-in

a. Banjo Pioneer

b. Pizza Pit Pizza

c. The summer between my sophomore and junior years in college. I was involved with my first serious girlfriend. Played in a summer basketball league at a local junior college at the height of my meager basketball powers.

a.  Pappa Cherry

b.  andy capp's hot fries sandwich-just the fries and soft white bread

c.  In general all summers before I turned 12:

1. no concept of time(until school started again)

2.only thing that mattered was having fun, like an animal: all instinct and thoughtlessness

3.simplicity in everything

or the summer of '69, when I did all the things Bryan Adams sings about and got laid too.

a. Hermie

b. pussy

c. Summer of '42:

1. Banged an older broad whose cuckold hubby was off fighting the Krauts. 2. Lost my boyhood innocence, blah blah. 3. Learned a valuable lesson, something about "For everything we take with us, there is something we leave behind." Whatever. That dame was hotter than the three Andrews sisters put together.

a.  sir mix-alot

b.  do-ri-tos and chicken o' the sea

c. summer that i was an AI (assistant instructor, not a ball-player) at IUGFS (Indiana Univesity Geologic Field Station) geology field camp in montana:

1.montana is absolutely gorgeous, and i was being paid (albeit modestly) to walk around all day and study the geology in this spectacular setting

2.Beer slide at the Two Bit or Mint Saloon (can't remember which, but there were only two bars in Whitehall, MT) And by beer slide in mean a beer slip-n-slide, where they would lubricate the floor with beer and you would take a running start and slide head- or butt-first out onto the sidewalk/street. the local police force was on-hand outside the bar to make sure you did not get run over if you slid too far and ended up in the street

3. letting a clever ruse of pretending it was my birthday at the bar in the lodge at Glacier NP, go too far. most of the evening is a blur (a euphemism for i can't remember a GD thing) but, apparently i determined that i was paul simon's son ** before turning in for the night.

** for the record, to the best of my knowledge, i am not related to paul simon nor have i met him, though my dad claims to have gone to high school or college (i can't remember which) with him and art.

 

a. Saskipoof Ninth

b.  gravy fries from Nectar's (http://www.liveatnectars.com/static/liveatnectars/menu.php)

c. I'm probably getting a few year's and events mixed up, but it was 1983, when a few of us used to congregate daily at one SRC's house. Besides having no financial or academic worries or any worries really other than becoming that day's target of undersexed (to put it mildly) barely-adolescent male angst, manifested as sarcastic ridicule by the other members of the crew, it was a great summer for at least three reasons: 1. Witnessing Dave Righetti's July 4th no-hitter. 2. My Strat-o-Matic platoon of Ernie "The Shit" Whitt and Buck "The Fuck" Martinez. 3. My comfort that Billy Joel's lyrics were revealing all the secrets about life that I would need.

 

a. misty lake

b. whopper, onion rings, dr. pepper

c. '90(give or take a year):

1) i actually thought i was gonna get to chill in madtown for the summer, for the first time, lightin' shorties w/ the boys (tho only pullin' in 6 fitty and hour) plus...

2) i actually pulled it off for 2 weeks - only missing work 2 times - when...

3) my pops got me a sweet job back home pulling in 14 bills an hour

OK...woulda a been much better had i been able to hang at the terrace all summer...but the increased cash flow allowed me to buy dem crazy bumble bee darts, buy all that bitchin' falbo bros. za....and basically fuck off 3x more the next school year...so i figure it then averaged out to the best summer + non-summer year in memory. since then summers have basically sucked camel cock, except 97 (give or take a year) when 3 of the 4 verbungle warriors won the STB minus SRC - an episode only more astounding giving the previous nights performance by DRD.

a. Petten Thiwang

b.  my woman's toes

c. The summer of 1975 when I learned to ride a bike.

 

1/27/04: (#3)

Questions:

1. Your porno name (name of your first pet followed by the street you grew up on):

2. Sexiest move in your arsenal of seduction (44 letters or less):

3. Time in your life when you felt most insulted, what you said or did in response, and what you wish you'd said or done:

I thought today's questions might be a little tough, and maybe a little lame. I expected that maybe I'd have to change 'em, but I was blown away by the results again.   Today's turned out to be stunningly poignant, if you can believe that.  We'll start with the humorous ones and work our way towards the pathos.

Entry #1: 

1. Jerry 72nd Street

2: sitting on the couch and watching TV

3. -Being called Charlie Brown in a college bar.

Did: Nothing.

Shouldasaid: "Up yours, Linus."

Entry #2: 

1. Butta Bun Billy

2: Midgets 'n Margarine, Part IV

3. There was this one time when this dood like totally dissed me and I cold dissed him back but in retrospeck I should have just cold iced him with a steely stare and just sipped my drink yo

Entry #3:

1. Chili Washington (awww yeah)

2: bourbon

3.  I was 16, eating lunch with my girlfriend and her 10-year-old brother. The kid was staring at me -- admiringly, I assumed. No doubt the little scamp looked up to her sister's cool boyfriend, with my rockin mullet and a brand new Prince concert shirt. After examining me for a while he suddenly blurted, "You know, you'd be be a pretty good looking guy if you didn't have such a big chin." I don't think that's the most insulted I've ever been but at the time it really stung. The little prick.

OK, now here are two which'll actually move you.

Entry # 4:

1. skate school

2: i cook

3. being the 'fat kid' i was always very self conscious about going shirtless. i wore a shirt in the pool, a shirt at the beach and NEVER played on the 'skins' team.

so one summer, the family makes their annual trip to Wildwood. I'm almost 12 years old and i'm slowly starting to feel a little more confident about my appearance. that year when we bought 'summer clothes' i decided i'd give tank tops a try (as long as my nipples didnt show, i figured i could 'hide it') i picked myself up a hot pink wife beater (it was 1986) that matched a sweet pair of black jams.

anyway, we go out the Barnacle Bills one night (the best arcade/miniature golf course complex in the world) and i decided that since there's no chance of seeing anyone I know, i'll don the new outfit--just to see how it goes over.

about halfway through the evening (a little after 7) I'm parked in front of a Commando machine and I'm kicking ass. (Actually, I'm just hiding behind those 2 palm trees that let you shoot everyone without getting hit). I notice two little ladies standing behind me, just as I look over my shoulder to check them out I hear.

"He needs a bra."

What can you say or do?

3. Once in highschool when I was driving home, I got caught behind a school bus from my school. White Kids in the back seat started flicking me off and one was making monkey expressions at me- the one where you curl your arms, one up and one down, while one hand scratches your head and one your belly- with the rounded mouth. This was pretty infuriating so I kept pointing at the main culprit and nodding my head, trying to communicate that I was going to beat his ass. I followed the bus for about ten minutes til this kid finally got off, he was probably a freshmen or sophomore. I parked and as soon as the bus took off, got out of my car and chased the kid down. i pinned him down and put him in a cradle (the wrestling move you learn in gym wrestling) I was smart enough not to throw any punches because I didn't want any evidence that could be used against me, if it ever came to that. Anyway, I had his head pulled against his knees so hard that he started crying and I kept saying something along the lines of " That's right , let it all out , you're sorry you're a little racist fuck" After he started claiming he couldn't breathe, I let up. Got in my car and went to Burger king. In retrospect, I wish I had just kept on driving to Burger King and not potentially helping to create another david duke. Can ignorant kids/people really be taught the meaning of human equality? In my opinion , no. Only in American History X and made for TV movies do people change. You can't beat racism out of a racist. There must be a gene for racists, it's in the blood. Now there's a good hypothesis worthy of a million dollar genetic research project.

Questions:

1.fastest speed you've ever driven a car:

2.crowning achievement of your athletic career (however humble it may have been):

Yesterday's Most Excellent Responses (no order):

Entry #1: from Slick

1.  105mph

2. Baseball camp, walk-off homerun at age 11, bottom of 10th inning.

Entry #2: from Valerie S.

1. Speed 90 mph, Singing Voice = 90 db

2. Co-captaining and playing third base for the 1997(?) (I think that's the year. I've been there too long.) Food Network Foodfighters. We won the division that year and received a 3 foot tall trophy. I "got" to keep the trophy at my desk. It pretty much became part of the scenery until one day about 3 years later, when (a fat) Al Roker was at the studio and gave me props for such an achievement.

Entry #3: from Chris S. (Valerie's husband)

 1. 130 mph

2. As a varsity shot putter my junior year of high school, my coach sent his top three guys (me being number two) to the county championships. Back then, a throw of 45 feet would have gotten you in the top 5. I had never thrown that far, but I went nonetheless.

When it got to be my turn, the farthest throw was 51', but the next farthest was in the low 40s. Well I get up there, with all my might, and whip the thing 46 feet 3 inches! So I'm in second place, then some more guys went and I got bumped down to fifth place, but I still got a medal and earned a point for our track team.

Over the summer I started smoking, and that was pretty much it for sports after that.

Entry #4: from Slick Again

1. Diesel Powered: 85 MPH

2. Winning "All Ivy League" Award at Third Base senior year in high school. Please note that I am fully aware of how obnoxious and pretentious it is for a high school to be part of the "Ivy League." Whatever. I won that shit.

That was before I got fat and slow and old.

Entry #5:  from Dipak

1. 112 mph

2a. Winning 3rd place in Current Events in a 8th grade scholastic event for Union County, NJ after being in the US for less than 8 months.

2c. Getting a birdie on hole # 11 on the TPC- Tampa.

Entry #6: from Benge

1. "Buried the needle" on a speedometer that went up to 120, so I'll never know-probably about 250.

2. Shattering a neon sign for a restaurant while playing stickball in the P.S. 41 yard. (Pretty much the equivalent of breaking the backboard, Darryl Dawkins style.) Did it twice. Editor's Note: I saw this, it was two massive home runs, possibly the same day.

1.favorite player on the team that's playing the patriots:

2.favorite pro wrestler and why:

2. Leapin' Lanny Poffo - Macho man Randy savage's brother - never escaped his shadow or equaled his fame.He started out as "leapin' lanny" and then towards the end went by "the genius". This fruitcake would actually recite a limerick before every match he was in. By taking the road less travelled, his wrestling persona was clearly an attempt to out do Macho Man's by directly contradicting it . He kept his skin pasty white, sported a well groomed stetson moustache along with his fluffy, curly hair, and at times , wore pastel speedo trunks. Unfortunately the tan, tough , stubbly macho Man is what the people wanted and poor leapin' lanny slowly faded into obscurity. This guy is the embodiment of the word loser, and the sad thing is he knows it. He also has Macho Man as a constant reminder ( however sad that is in itself) I have empathy for him and can relate to him on a very human level. He is just like me and many others, he smelled success but never got to taste it . That is why Leapin' Lanny Poffo is my wrestling hero.

2. there are some wrestlers who just wrestle. and when they're done wrestling they just move on with their lives. they become plumbers, teachers, merchants, and technicians. but there are other wrestlers for whom wrestling is more than a fleeting urge. these are the men who make it a profession. these are the pro wrestlers. and i salute them all. you or i might wrestle somebody for the heck of it - a friend, a brother, a drunken patron in a bar - but even on the giving end of a satisfying full nelson, are people like you and me really engaging in more than a fleeting indulgence? a dalliance to be embarrassed about some subsequent day? no.

 the pros need to wrestle. every day. that's why they're pros. it's like the air in their lungs and the sky above.

Entry #3: from Achetin Mipantz

1. Dwayne Brady

2. The Killer Bees- they actually wore yellow and black striped speedo trunks and their finishing move was using their ass to "sting" their opponent off the top rope. Doesn't get much more homo erotic.
