Mongo from "Blazing Saddles"

Mongo from "Blazing Saddles"

I got off the subway at 6:35 this morning, with plenty of time to get to the studio to teach the 7:00 A.M. kickboxing class, only to realize that I had left the keys to the studio at home. I did this once before in the last seven months and taking a cab back and forth cost me about $40 and still had me arrive 10-minutes late to the class. So I decided to take the subway, a decision arrived as a combination of cheapness and not being in the mood to smell the body odor of an Indian cabby for the next forty minutes or so.

The subway took forever to arrive at the station, which sent my blood pressure to levels akin to as if I had just eaten a Heart Attack Burger at McDonald’s washed down with a Chocolate Frosted Diabetes Shake at Burger King and then went to Wendy’s to fuck that freckled little redhead. The subway finally arrived and I got on.

Wendy. I fucked her. She gave me chlamydia.

Wendy. I fucked her. She gave me chlamydia.


Across from me and a little to the left was a mongoloid-looking Jew. I am sure of the Jew angle, not because he was reading a book entitled 29 Ways To Prepare Dead Palestinian (which offers a few vegan alternatives) but because he was wearing a yarmulke, the same way that if I saw a woman in a birka I would know beyond a shadow of a doubt that she was a moron.

Regarding the mongoloid thing, I couldn’t be certain. He had the typical disproportioned head, with the mouth just a tad too close to his nose and a forehead that stretched from here to forever but that might have just been the result of being birthed through an extremely tight vagina and not a wide stretched out one like that of Ogre’s. But once he put on his headphones and started repeating a line that if it came from a song would inspire me to give up music forever, I knew this man who was wearing an ass for a face was demented. As if for the sole purpose of alleviating any doubt I had to his sanity, he would alternate his horrid bellowing with sticking his tongue out as far as Gene Simmons and make goofy sounds like, “DOO-DUH-DOH-DING!” Yep, certifiable!

Micky from The Monkees.

Micky from The Monkees.


His bellowing vocal style sounded like a cross between a baby seal being clubbed for her fur and a man who had just been sodomized without lube—or like Alanis Morissette. I tried not to stare but it was like driving by a car crash and involuntarily stepping on the breaks and rubbernecking, despite the fact that you know this will contribute to a near standstill in traffic that will result in people missing appointments and small children pissing their pants and just a general malaise of the traffic motestrians.

When my stop was the next one, I got up and stood in front of a set of doors. It was already 7:00 and I thought about all the students waiting in the hallway locked out of the studio and pondered whether I should make an appointment with a psychiatrist to discuss why I didn’t seem to care in the least.

I looked over at Mongo, who was now about 15 feet away from me, and sensing my stare he turned towards me and we locked eyes. If this were some retard version of Brokeback Mountain this might have been the start of a beautiful, albeit dim-witted, relationship. I couldn’t look away, only in part due to the fact that I had been frightened at a young age by the story of Sodom and Gomorrah and since then once I look at something I have an OCD time of looking away for fear of turning into a pillar of salt. And finally the goofy little bastard did something that I have never seen on a subway. No, I’ve seen a penis doing the helicopter, but good guess! He waved.

I waved back and then we both turned away and resumed our business, him croaking his best Alanis imitation and me preparing to sprint out of the soon to be opening subway car, run into my apartment, grabbing my keys all the while ignoring my whining dog happy to see me and race right back to the subway to, hopefully, reach a bunch of disgruntled kickboxing students who have boxing gloves and want to beat something silly.

Now on the subway, occasionally I have made eye contact with another person and smiled and they smiled back. If he were a guy, he was a homo and we would exit the next stop and have man sex. If she were a woman, she would nonchalantly reach inside of her handbag and flip off the safety to her can of Mace.

A smile doesn’t require much more of an effort than slightly lifting the sides of your mouth while one hand gently strokes your penis on the outside of your pants. I’ve been told the stroking of the penis is not necessary to create a smile but, as of this date, I have not figured out to do the two separately.

This is actually scarily close to how Mongo looked waving at me!

This is actually scarily close to how Mongo looked waving at me!


But a wave? That involves twenty-six different muscle groups all working in sink to raise the arm above your head and that requires a Herculean effort. But more than just the effort, the wave seemed so genuine that if I didn’t have a strict “No Retards As Friends” policy I might have said, “Hey tubby, you want to crush some beer cans on your enormously overgrown forehead?”

There is something about children, animals and retards that make them so innocent in their actions. Mind you, this doesn’t mean that they aren’t little bastards. One of my nieces said to my sister once, “That woman is so ugly!” in a voice that was loud enough to destroy the self-esteem of the pig in question; my dog has chewed up more electronic items, books and nick backs then I care to remember; and there have been at least twelve incidences of retards hurling their feces at their caretakers like a monkey at the zoo “shooting the shit” as they call it.

That being said, there usually isn’t an ounce of maliciousness or calculation to their behaviors. The child is in awe how grotesque the ugly woman is and, not yet having developed any sense of social graces imposed upon her by society, she just blurts out what she is thinking. As many times as I have told my dog to stop chewing on my fuckin’ stuff, when I leave the apartment she innocently goes, “Man, look at that plug attached to that fan. I wonder what that would feel like being destroyed by my teeth!” And a retard with a pile of poo in his hand is the happiest go luckiest guy you can find. Lord knows when I am holding a heap of shit in my hand I’m feeling on top of the world—provided it is my own and didn’t come out of another’s ass.

I see young kids now already becoming calculating little manipulators trying to get over and I wonder when the age of disconsent was lowered so significantly. I know I turned rotten in my mother’s womb but that was on account of eating some bad placenta. What about the rest of you? When was the last time you raised your hand over your head to a stranger, not giving them the finger or trying to indicate that sexual deviancy is on your mind, but just to say hello? How would you react if someone did that to you? You would probably be so stunned that either you would freeze like a deer in the headlights or high tail it as fast as you can in the opposite direction.

"It's a staring contest and I'll be venison burgers before give up and lose!"

"It's a staring contest and I'd rather be venison burger before I give up and lose!"


By the time I got back to the kickboxing studio it was 7:26 a.m. and no one was still there. I had some time before my 8:00 private client came in to reflect on what God had wanted to show me by clouding my mind into leaving my keys at home. And suddenly a booming voice entered my head with the following catchphrase:

“Live your life as innocently as a retard. Just wash your hands after playing with your own shit.”

And suddenly all of the world’s madness made complete sense to me—God is a retard!

God The Retard

God The Retard


Only a dummy would have faith in a fairy tale.

"Only a dunce would have faith in a man wearing a diaper!"


Sit On My Facebook

Thursday, July 7th, 2011

sitonmyfacebook

Last month I joined Facebook and in so doing apparently joined the 21st Century. Well, that’s not entirely true. I didn’t exactly join it—my martial arts teacher signed me up for it. Was he concerned about my hermetic social life as the New York City equivalent of a cave-sitter? No, he’s just a money-grubbing Jew and wanted me to post announcements and items about his martial arts school so he can fill the bag of gold around his neck.

“Why,” you ask, “did I you wait so long?” Is it because Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg turned me down when in a fit of excitement over the legalization of gay marriage in New York I asked him to be my lawfully wedded fag? Is it because I am a paranoid conspiracy theorist who wears tinfoil on my head and didn’t want the government knowing who I poke? Or maybe it’s because I just don’t give enough of a shit to reconnect with high school losers I tried to avoid 25 years ago. The answer: all of the above and a few things more.

I filled out the requisite information—where I went to high school, which teachers in college allowed me to add a half a letter to my grade by jerking them off in the bathroom, twenty-five different ways I have masturbated with a sock—to which I received a personal note from Mark Zuckerberg when I listed #18, “rolled in a ball stimulating my prostate,” asking whether I would suggest he use a natural or synthetic fiber sock. And when I thought I was pretty much done, I hit Enter or Return or Accept or Done and angels sung “Hallelujah” and I was officially indoctrinated into the Flock of Facebook.

Rec Tissue Box 1125.1

Wherever I go I carry with me a little notebook to write any inane inspirations that may download into my brain from the demons that use my skull as a toilet into which they defecate their filth. It has to be small enough so it can fit into a front or side pant’s pocket or up my ass in the rare times I take a shower or bath. As we all know, a notebook on its own is pretty useless unless you have something for which to scribe those brilliant, or in my case, disgusting notes.

Well, I guess we don’t all know this, as there was the case of a man named Phillip Wilhelm Bertinand who spent eighty years recording his life history in notebooks that filled his entire barn. When he died, in lieu of inheritance money, he willed all his notebooks to his son, Frederick. It was thought that the personal diaries of Mr. Bertinand would fetch a price beyond any riches known to date, as he had been an extremely interesting man, with life experiences so unique as to be considered somewhat of a legend in his time. A few kings had even offered their kingdoms in exchange for these notebooks.

A picture of the whale of my sister-in-law jumping up to grab in her fat mouth a wad of cash from my brother's upstretched hand

A picture of my sister-in-law the whale jumping up to grab in her fat mouth a wad of cash from my brother's upstretched hand

My brother takes off from work on Wednesdays, doing a half-day on Saturday, and I only work enough to feed my dog once a week and ask my parents to pay my rent, so we both happen to be free for the meet and go hiking with our dogs. It is one of Abandon’s favorite things to bound through wooded areas, exploring all the sights and sounds and smells and places to shit and piss; that and chewing up my adapter plugs.

Our itinerary usually consists of walking in this wooded nature trail in Yuppieville where he lives, where we occasionally bump into other richies who talk about their fifth generation Vizsla dogs and how to keep the blacks out of Weston. Following the hike, we make a fruit shake and sometimes he puts on his panties as he does chores for his wife who doesn’t work but may be taking a tennis lesson or going to the gym or spending his money getting her nails done in the false deception that red nail polish will somehow make her increasingly fattening ass unnoticeable in some house of mirrors refractive illusion.

"It must be the funhouse mirrors why my ass looks so fat."

"It must be the funhouse mirrors why my ass looks so fat."

Usually she’ll ask me, “So what’s going on?” in a way that appears friendly but doubtful that she’s paying attention to my answer. One time I answered, “I contracted AIDS from fucking an infected gorilla,” and her response was, “That sounds good.” I wasn’t sure whether the “good” referred to me getting some action, albeit with, literally, a hairy mother, or picking up a mild case of the AIDS and hopefully dying and relieving her family of my dependency.

This time I told her about how my martial arts school is doing really well and expanded to a new space that is over double the size of the last school and how I am now teaching regular classes and plan to start teaching yoga there as well and blah, blah, blah. She responded with something like, “And what’s the gorilla’s name?” to which I didn’t really have anything clever to say and the only thing I could come up with was, “Samantha.”

She then said, “Well, maybe now you can contribute something to the house, such as some food when you come.”

My surprised expression as I paused in the middle of drinking my shake.

Worst Joke Ever

Monday, November 22nd, 2010
"I'VE FALLEN AND I CAN'T GET UP!" "Just wait patiently, Mrs. Fletcher, and one of our staff will be over right away to fondle and then urinate on you."

"I'VE FALLEN AND I CAN'T GET UP!" "Just wait patiently, Mrs. Fletcher, and one of our staff will be over right away to fondle you and then beat you with your walker."

I was training Dude, a 22-year old from Long Island, and as much as I usually like to rape young yuppies while wearing a Daddy Warbucks costume, training him was pretty fun, as I educated him on physiology and muscle growth and he kept me abreast of what was going on in a generation that had never even heard of records or Lost In Space. And we also had a lot of laughs. That was until the inevitable worst joke ever excised both of our funny bones and powdered them to dust on the funeral pyre.

Drew was telling me how he had a busy weekend where he got telephone numbers from three different girls. If it were one of my redneck clients, I would put my money on one of them being his sister, another his mother and the third his brother in a wig. But Dude was no redneck; he was a yuppie. And when a yuppie talks about a woman it is usually means a person with a vagina and non-related, although possibly paid for.

I asked Dude what pick-up line he used and, much to my shock, I found out that whipping your dick out and throwing it on the bar and shouting out, “Who wants to do some dick shots?” is no longer in vogue. Boy, was I glad to get this education before the next church social!

The following week I asked Dude how his telephone number situation had worked out, whether he actually called any of the girls up or if he did what I usually do and wrote the numbers on the walls of truck stops all along I-95 with a message like, “I GAVE MY NUMBER TO SWAMI X—I MUST BE A WHORE!” He told me that he had followed up with one of the girls, O.J. Simpson murdered another with a knife and that the third had fallen off the map. And then the joke that made Saddam Hussein starving his own people seem funny by comparison slipped out of my mouth like a fart that was only a little <poof> but ended up being a real stinker.

“Well, at least she couldn’t have hurt herself too badly, falling off a map, being a map is only like a quarter millimeter in height.” There was an awkward silence that I haven’t heard since after I dropped my killer stand-up line about the two niggers fighting over a watermelon at the open mic in Harlem right, which was followed by me being beaten unconscious and waking up smelling like fried chicken. Deciding not to stew in the malodorous stench of my own fart and trying to pass it off as the egg salad from the deli down the block, I attacked the situation head on.

“That was terrible,” I conceded. Common courtesy would have Dude say something like, “No, that wasn’t so bad. One time at an open mic in Harlem I saw this cracker use the ‘watermelon’ word in front of a bunch of niggers and get the shit kicked out of him good.” But instead Dude was like a cheerleader, SIS-B00M-BA-ing how bad my joke was. Even if I wanted to rape him now, my Little Orphan Annie was hiding in a mess of red curly hair. For the record, I have brown pubes but I had fucked a girl on the rag the night before and forewent the shower that morning.

I think the session ended with Dude telling me that he loved training with me but if I continued to drop cluster bombs like my “falling off the map” joke that he would have to look elsewhere for a personal trainer. I nodded in agreement and waited until he went for his after-shower workout and raped him good. At our next scheduled session, Dude didn’t show up. I guess he “fell off the map.”

Nagging_Bitches

My mother is a nag and a controller. She sent me an email with train schedules to get to my father’s birthday gathering and because I was out all night, she sent another naggy one which read, “Did you get my message about making the 2:47 train?” This is what I wrote her back:

I was out tonight sleeping with a skanky prostitute who confirmed that she had AIDS, herpes, gonorrhea and syphilis. It was hard to sign-in to check my email until now, as I was pissing blood for the last hour and a half. But I got your message.

I’m wondering who’s going to die first, me of her nagging or her from my jackassery. I’m thinking that she may nag me to the point of killing her, making those who bet choice (C) NONE OF THE ABOVE the winners for the pool.

False Communion

Saturday, November 6th, 2010

"If only you were a little boy, I'd stick something in that mouth of yours!"

"If you were a little boy, I'd stick something else in that mouth of yours!"

At my Halloween Spooky Yoga class at High Bridge Park, I noticed some huge leafy leaves growing in various bunches on the ground. It wasn’t until my student said, “Ow! I think I just snapped my spine!” that I brought my focus back to his dumb ass. The next day I came back and wildcrafted a bunch of them, which means taking from the “wild” and “crafting” it into a salad or herbal preparation or a hula dress. It feels so cool to commune with nature and to share each other’s essence, even if that means the plant will share you ripping it out of its home and chewing it to a sloppy mush so that it can pass through your smelly bowels and be flushed into a cesspool to spend the remainder of its days.

I was sure to communicate with the plants before I pulled them. I told them, “Hey guys. I’m gonna pull some of you out now. But don’t worry; you’re not going to die, as death is an illusion. You are just going to change form and become a part of me!” They seemed to buy this load of bullshit.

So a couple of days later I juiced them with some carrots and when I tasted it, I was like, “How cool is this? Green juice, free from nature, and not $2.50 a shot from the health food store!” It wasn’t until later that day that I realized that there are some things where store-bought foods excel, the primary one being safety—unless you are buying Mexican toilet paper, otherwise known as “spinach,” then all bets are off.

"I have to take a shit. Does anyone have any toilet paper?" "JUST USE THE SPINACH."

"I have to take a shit. Does anyone have any toilet paper?" "JUST USE THE SPINACH!"

Later that day, I was walking minding my own business when I thought I had a little gas and let a puff go. Suddenly I had that panic that every man goes through at least three times in his life: DID I JUST SHIT MYSELF? This situation has an additional annoyance for me, as I tend to wear my underwear for at least a week straight and even I have my limits; shitty underwear I can only wear for about four days before I feel like a baby who’s been sitting in his own shit all day thinking about killing his mother like Stewie Griffin does about Lois, hoping that when she finally gets around to it, she’ll at least powder his red ass with Talcum.

stewie-griffin_15020_top

This also added the stress that today, unlike every other day, I could no longer just fart with abandon—as in both care-free and with my dog—as I was never quite certain whether a breeze of stinky air would be coming out of my ass or a drippy mess would be running down my leg.

That night I went to dinner and a show with my parents. As a natural health guy and holistic counselor, whenever you are sick the general rule is not to eat. If your stomach is wack, you definitely don’t want to add to the mess. But as someone raised in a Jew house, the adage “Never pass on a free meal” trumps any semblance of health sense…and so I ate.

I generally don’t like to go to the bathroom at restaurants, as I have spent much of my formidable years jerking-off in them, and so without my bottle of Purell and a pair of rubber gloves, I rarely enter one. This doesn’t really explain why I go into health club showers, the Women’s Underwear section at Macy’s, the top of the Empire State Building, the baseball glove section of sporting goods stores, the bird section at pet stores, flower gardens, the Gay & Lesbian section of bookstores, sit on my friend Elk’s couch, or Joe’s Bagel House where I used to work and fuck all the bagels except the everything bagels which are known to be the whores of the bagel world. And that one sesame seed bagel, as she was just a pig. I guess if I never went anywhere I had previously christened with my goo, I would never leave the house—and even there stalactites of semen hanging from my ceiling surround me!

I think it was the Gonorrhea that made it red

I think it was the Gonorrhea that made it red

But I went in the restaurant bathroom, as shitting myself in front of my parents would inevitably lead to my Mom dropping my drawers and changing me in front of everyone and ever since being forced to change out of our bathing suits and into our underwear at the beach when I was 12-years old, I have always had a phobia of public nudity, especially when it involved exposing my own bits.

After a 10-layering of toilet paper on the seat, I sat my dirty ass down and prepared to expunge anything that had been previously threatening my underwear with taunts and titillations. I found myself teased in a way I haven’t been since when Sister Betsy Ann caught me wacking-off into the Holy Water and said it was perfectly natural to wack-off and when I continued to do so, she showed me a form of wacking that involved my then only 9” pecker and a hardwood ruler. She explained to me that wacking-off was fine but doing it in front of a nun was strictly verboten.

Another Catholic sadist, smelling the ruler for dick cheese. She forgot she had just wacked a Jewish dick.

I was confused, as I was only eight years old, the only Jew in a Catholic school besides the one hanging on the wall, where the priests would actually encourage us to jerk it in front of them. Even at a young age I had the gift of the pen, which was actually the gift of the quill back then, and I wrote a soliloquy for an original play called Jerkit, Prince of Douchemark that started, “To jerk-it, or not to jerk-it—THAT is the question.” All this to say that nothing came out my ass but a little fart. I was like, “You mother fucker. Before I was happy to let you loose and you hid yourself like an abused pussy behind your garbage can and NOW you come out?” I was pissed. Unfortunately I was not shitted.

After dinner we saw the Broadway play, La Bete, which starred the faggy brother Niles Crane on the sitcom Frasier, who we always had to suspend our disbelief beyond any reasonable expectation to imagine that this butt-muncher was in “love” with Daphne, which was the name of Martin Crane’s physical therapist and not a leather queen from Boystown Bar. I saw one outtake of the show where these two were supposedly having sex and finally Daphne turned to him and said, “First of all, stop fucking me in the ass. And secondly, stop calling me Reginald!” Fruity Crane hid his homosexuality almost as pathetically as Tom Cruise.

The play was pretty funny. Stealing the show was the constantly babbling, food-spitting, silly rhyming co-star of Fruity Crane. His first scene literally had him speaking for about 20+ minutes without anyone else being able to get a word in edgewise. Reminded me a bit of my own loquaciousness.

After the show we were walking and I now felt like I was going to piss myself as well as possibly shit myself. I was going to drop off a bottle of this liquid vitamin I distribute (www.firstman4health.awarenesslife.com) to the guy who now lives in my old apartment before I moved to Drugville, as he had called me up about a package of mine that was delivered to his apartment and I wanted to show him my appreciation. I was thinking of busting past him when he opened the door and saying, “I need to use your bathroom stat!” but thought that would not be proper first-meeting etiquette, for according to Emily Post, shitting in a host’s bathroom should only happen on or after the third invite. Not to mention, not everyone is familiar with the term “stat.”

Now affectionally known as "Stinky"

On the way to my apartment, riding in the backseat of my parents car which, incidentally, was another place where I had jerked-off in my semeny past, my intestinal and bladderal agony seemed to subside. I thought of taunting the next little fart that was cowarding behind the little pewter terrier Monopoly piece in my bowel that I swallowed as a boy and had since took up residence in my gut, forcing us to use a button as a replacement—which even my mother whose brainchild that was knew it to be a bit lame—but thought better of it. When I left the calm intestinal bubble of my parent’s car, the distress immediately started up again. I entered my apartment and Abandon was like, “Hey, it’s great to see you!” I was like, “Out of my way, I’m heading for the crapper!”

The next day I threw the rest of those big leaves back in the park. I told them, “I thought we had communed, that we had an understanding. Now you fucks can just dry out and die for all I care! No hard feelings?”

"If only I didn't have these wings on my back...then maybe Robin Hood would fuck me."

"If only I didn't have these wings on my back...then maybe Robin Hood would fuck me."

Sometimes we want to believe in something so badly that we cloud the obvious in order to bolster our fantasy. It could come in the form of an immaculate birth so that we can say, “My Savior is better than your Savior,” ignoring the 515th child molesting case from the Catholic Church so we can pretend to ourselves that they know what they’re doing with that whole “celibacy” thing, justifying the lipstick on our boyfriend’s cock that is not our color with, “Maybe he just bought his own lipstick because he has a fetish for painting his dick with it,” or thinking that the stripper at Flashdancers, that we dropped $300 for her to gyrate against our boner for a few songs, actually likes us. “Really guys, she gave me that look, you know, the one that says, ‘I know this is my job and if I keep smiling at you, you will give me your whole week’s salary—but I really like you’!”

Sometimes a pencil is just a pencil and sometimes you tell a plant, “I love you” and if it could speak it would say, “What are you, some kind of pervert? I’m a plant! Eat me and I’ll make you shit yourself!” But it can’t speak. And all that feeling of “communion” that came bursting forth from your heart chakra was about as made-up as eating a cracker and pretending you are cannabalizing Christ.

18281-Clipart-Illustration-Of-A-Sick-White-Man-Resting-His-Head-On-The-Toilet-Bowl-After-Puking

Every now and then when my parents come to visit, knowing that I’m a fruity guy, my Dad will come with two or three big bags of fruit. The last batch had great mangoes with deep orange flesh that tasted like syrup. And plums that once the teeth penetrated, the mouth had to work like a vacuum cleaner to suck up all the exploding juices.

He also got some asparagus. Why oh why he swallowed a fly, I don’t know why. The only thing I really like about asparagus is that there is a chemical in it, I think it is called aspartic acid or something, that makes your pee stink like a hooker bathed in semen and puke. I like taking a piss after eating a vat of asparagus and then kneeling down in front of the toilet as if I just came back from a night of drinking and needed a purge and instead of opening my throat and expulsioning my stomach contents, I open my nostrils and breathe in as deeply as I can. I always have the same reaction, “Totally gross!” Come to think of it, I think I have this reaction whether I have eaten asparagus or not.

Whenever I would buy young coconuts, whose meat is soft and chewy and when added to a smoothie it tastes scrumptuliscious, my Dad would always ask, “What is that?” as the Filipino children who labor 20 hours a day risking broken necks from falling from coconut trees and loss of digits from chopping coconuts, cut off the outer part of the coconut and the remaining inner shell that is an off-white in color is foreign to those who identify a coconut as a hard brown ellipse with a tough white inner that tastes like sawdust. I always answer him the same way, “Is something seriously wrong with your short-term memory? I mean, didn’t you just ask me the same fuckin’ question last week? And what did I tell you?” “That I’m a moron?” “That’s right.” I guess in asparagus and in responding to my Dad’s queries about young coconuts I am pretty predictable.

So among the myriad of fruit my Dad would buy for me, he would always throw in at least one small coconut packaged in a netting of sorts. I think he got them for a good price, being they are purchased only when there is a “Coconut/Hairnet” sale.

.
The last time I chopped open one of his hairnet coconuts, there was a strong smell of blue cheese that I never smelled from anything that wasn’t either from a cow or from under a man’s balls. Being raised as a cheap Jew, I had the old Jewish dilemma going: FREE HAM. I nibbled a bit but then said, “I don’t know about this nasty thing,” and threw it out.

This time he got me two hairnet coconuts.  When I opened the first one by the scientific method of slamming the two of them together and seeing which one broke under the pressure, that distinct smell of blue cheese was wafting in the air. I decided to be creative. I blended it in my VitaMix and rubbed some of it under my balls and went down to the gay bar I frequent and laughed my ass off when from the other side of the glory hole I would hear, “OH, CHEESY!” The rest of the blend I put in a jar mixed with apple-cider vinegar and used it as a vegan blue cheese dressing on my salads for the next few days. I justified my stomach upset with, “I must have overeaten,” as even a rabbit can only eat so much lettuce before he explodes. Just a thought that came to mind now: I never saw Bugs Bunny eat anything but carrots. You would think that if that were his sole staple that his skin would turn a bit yellowish from the carotenoids.

By the third day of eating this Swami X Original, I realized that this belonged in the same 1950s catalogue that sold a tapeworm in a capsule as a diet program. I dumped the contents of the bottle into the toilet, said a prayer in Hebrew apologizing to God for the waste of resources, took an asparagus piss into the white chunky mess that floated on top of the toilet like a BP clam chowder spill, knelt down, took a deep inhale and blew chunks. Thank God the chunks were pieces of blue cheese coconut and not chunks of my liver like happened the last time I became addicted to swigging rubbing alcohol.

The little pussy              The future orange juice vender

I was about to head out of my apartment to run a boot camp and yoga class in Central Park with a personal trainer I paired up with. By “paired up with,” I don’t mean we’re having gay sex or anything. At least not yet. It was raining cats and dogs and at one point even Abandon fell from the sky and I had to tell her to get back in the house.

As I exited the first of the two doors of my building a Spicito, which is Spanish for “little Spic,” said something to me. I turned around and said, “What?”

He couldn’t have been more than four years old. He said, “It’s really raining out there!” Visible behind him was his brother who was probably only two.

I said, “Thanks for telling me the obvious, Einspic. That is why I have this umbrella here. And I’m not a little pussy like you who is afraid of a few drops of water from the sky. What are you, the Spicked Witch of the West? Are you going to melt if you get a little water splashed on you? Is that why your family’s always roasting corn in your apartment, to cover the smell of your unwashed dirty balls? Do you shit your diaper whenever the sun goes behind a cloud? Here’s a little suggestion for you: when people ask you what you want to be when you grow up, why don’t you start answering them, ‘A man, instead of the pathetic little pussy wimp I am today.’”

He burst into tears and ran back into his apartment, the little crybaby. I looked at his younger brother and said, “Do you have anything to add, little bitch?”

He said, “No, I’s awright.”

“You’ve got a little pussy for an older brother,” I told him. “Don’t let that turn you queer or nothin’.”

“No, I like the vag more than the pene,” he said and my heart suddenly warmed with the knowledge that this little bitch, living in a drug-dealing building, with shootings on the block and a pussy for an older brother—with all the odds stacked against him—just maybe had a chance to make something of himself in this cruel world, like being one of those guys that squeezes fresh orange juice or something. I’m not one of them sentimentalists but I’ll tell ya, it warmed my fuckin’ heart.

The Incredible Shrinking Head

Saturday, July 3rd, 2010

little head

So I wanted a hat that had the letter “X” on it, for my namesake and all and to fit into my new hood in Washington Heights where everyone, even babies in the crib, wear a baseball cap. When Spike Lee did his Malcolm X film, where the “X” stood for “10” hours long, the logo was a white “X” on a black background. Searching the Internet, I came across a picture of Spike Lee wearing the perfect X hat but only found one site selling an “X” hat in the cheap range which looked really gay and had even stupider-looking dudes modeling them.

So I had to go designer and, after the addition of “Swami X” on the back of the hat plus shipping, a friggin’ baseball cap was going to cost me $40! I may be broke but I still prefer to go in style. I laid my plastic down and ordered the hat!

The hat arrived and it looked pretty cool. It was a tight fit on my fat head, which I considered would be quite convenient in a whirlwind, but every time I went for a walk with my tighty “X,” I would arrive home with a mighty headache. The hat is made of some stretchy material created from one of Richard Simmons’ tiny striped red and white shorts dyed black and each time I put it on I would try to justify the purchase, that I’d get used to it, that this would remind me of that crazy time on the Fat Cruise where I woke up with Richard Simmons’ balls resting on my forehead. But the only pounding, besides the one I gave Richard Simmons’ ass on that cruise ship, was taking place in my head. So I had to take action.

I soaked leather straps in water and tied them around my head and then lay myself in the sun. I figured that as the straps dried and shrunk, they would squeeze my head and shrink it enough so that my “X” hat would provide a better fit. I kind of ignored the fact that this was used as a torture for people before waterboarding was invented. The drying process took a little longer than expected and as a result I received third degree burns on my face. At least for the moment the local peeps couldn’t tell that I was the only white boy in the hood.

When the blisters popped and my skin sloughed off, I was like Wile E. Coyote after one of his multi-daily disasters—back to the drawing board. I came back with my soaking wet leather headband only now I had sunscreen covering my face. I was nobody’s fool! And things seemed to be going well, until I heard a crack sound that I had hoped was the leather strap snapping but I think I’m pretty sure was my skull.

When I got home and looked in the mirror, there was a 2” ridge in my forehead where the strap had been. I thought this looked a little odd but my only alternative for even overall shrinkage was to wear one of those freaky S&M leather masks with the red ball in the mouth and the last time I wore one of those, Bruce Willis punched me in the fuckin’ head.

But other than the 2” mote that formed a circle around my head when it filled up with sweat, my hat now fit like a charm! For awhile I was feeling self-conscious when I took off my “X” hat but I got to thinking…if pants dragging down to your ankles is all the rage now, perhaps the Cro-Magnon look will be coming back in style and my ridged forehead will be considered pioneer in the industry. I’m hoping this is the case, as I just realized that I could have probably stretched out the hat instead!

A large man with a head the size of an orange walked into a bar and ordered a beer. The bartender slid him a brew. This repeated itself another couple of times until by the fourth beer the bartender said, “I have to ask you, what’s up with the tiny noggin’?”

The man said, “I was walking on a deserted beach and came across a lamp. Wondering if I could get any money selling it on eBay, I started to polish it with my arm. Suddenly a beautiful genie came out of the bottle and said she would grant me three wishes. I wished for a million dollars and I instantly received a message on my BlackBerry that a deposit of one millions dollars had been made to my bank account. I then asked for perfect health, as I have been plagued with a weak heart and bad lungs and don’t want to give up my pork rinds and cigarettes. Suddenly I was able to take a deep breath into my lungs like I haven’t since I was a little boy. I raced down the beach at top speed and came back equally fast and my heart was feeling great.

The genie asked, “And what do you want for your last wish?”

Looking at her beautiful face, her succulent lips… “How about a little head?” I asked.

Swami X and friends

SWAMI X, KITTY and LOKI. The reason I look mildly psychotic is because this was in the "tight 'X' hat" stage (not to mention that when the photo was snapped Kitty flinched and I lost my watch up her ass--or was that Loki's ass? Hard to tell, as none of us were wearing pants!)
