Back before Al Gore invented the internet, I was a poor but honest and virtuous farm boy. I was loved by all, and I loved everyone in return; it was a time of youthful idyll and bliss and my heart was as pure as the driven snow.
But then I got sucked into the internet where I met unsavoury scoundrels like Uncle Bob and Quartermain and Mad Jack and Pete... and I became as deplorable and depraved as they are! My youthful, handsome face twisted into a permanent smirk, my innocence was erased by rude jokes and filthy humour, and I spent my time gobbing and cursing on the blogs and forums with the worst humanity could produce!
With the passing of Uncle Bob I have been stuck looking for a new role model. I'm only 53 years old, I haven't grown up yet and I don't know what I want to be when I finally DO grow up. I considered world famous adventurer, writer, and man-about-town - WL Emery for the job... but he drinks gin. Jack is out, he's even ruder and drunker than I am. Pete has an IQ of 23 and operates at a level of intelligence far above mine. All Quartermain does is fornicate with beautiful young women and get into trouble - the adults say he and I shouldn't play together and they're probably right! HAR HAR HAR!!!
I gotta say that I am really looking hard at the Z Man for my new role model. The man is an emotional battleship: NOTHING gets through his armour and ticks him off! Nothing! His main armament is weapons grade wit and sarcasm and with guns like that - he wreaks intellectual ruin on our moral and intellectual superiors when they stumble or fall.
The Z Man is at his best when he critiques 'Girl Science'. On his podcast, the intro music is Cindy Lauper's "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun". Every time I hear that damned tune now - all I want to do is burst out laughing! If ya got a few minutes today, check out this week's exciting installment of "Girl Science" at the Z Blog.
Goddamn! Maybe the 80's weren't as great as I remember them...
When my daughter was a toddler she loved that song. She grew up to be an angry, troubled lesbian typical of the great female intellects that appear in the Z Man's podcasts. If you can stomach it - do read the stuff Z links too. Sure, it's funny as hell as these sexually disturbed women put on airs of blatantly phony intellectualism as they try to rationalize their mental illnesses. But - unseen in all that is that somewhere - some old geezer of a father is looking at his daughter and wondering WTF happened ... and for some reason that is just making me laugh now too! The gods piss upon us, boys - so as long as they're doing it to someone else - laugh and enjoy it because ya never know - YOU could be next!
Spud - if you're out there - have a good Friday and a good weekend! And try to have some fun, I suppose. As for me - I am off to church! One of the ladies did some floral fall displays where pumpkins are prominently featured - and that kinda racism and patriarchy can not stand!!!
Quartermain is on standby to bail me out of jail if required - the rest of you try and have some fun too!!! :)
You went through all that to become a deplorable, Gen?
ReplyDelete...I just became a sailor...
It was a journey of endarkenMINT, Pete!!!
DeleteCome over to the dahhk side... We have beer...
DeleteA role model? Over half the things Quartermain does are illegal in 37 States and considered immoral in South Africa. And as for that sot Mad Jack (I know the bastard), the next time he draws a sober breath you might as well look for a double eclipse of the moon - it'll happen about as often.
