My Good Deed

Posted on August 28, 2010 | 5 comments

Sort of.

A guy I know recently managed (in a very hysterical, embarrassing manner which he requested I not divulge) to pop off his finger (did I mention he did it in a very funny yet idiotic way?). Now, in hindsight, he’s pretty embarrassed for being such a jackass (have I mentioned I laughed so hard tears came to my eyes and he, ineffectually due to some wind shear issues, tried to slap me back to some manner of not pissing my pants). The problem is, since his visit to the emergency room, everyone has wanted to know how he dinged his digit.

And that makes him sad.

I think my reaction may have something to do with it (but, come on! I’m only human and this is some funny shit). So he wants me to come up with a plausible, potentially heroic, manner in which he flopped his finger.

I think for a second and say, because his family had a hard time keeping food on the table and a roof over their heads, he’s worked every day since childhood. Oh sure, you would have liked to have swept floors or mined varicose veins for old ladies but who’d hire a six year old other than shady companies that run clandestine medical experiments!

I Was An Elementary School Medical Guinea Pig!

“I don’t know.”

“No! It’s perfect.” I say knowing it’s no such thing.

I tell him that, although some of his ‘testing’ was quite invasive, it was the last test that finally made him run screaming from the cold, filthy laboratory.

“Here’s where you really have to sell it.” I tell him. “You have to say is, ‘I had to rub this solution on my finger. It was supposed to remove warts but it removed my entire finger!’ Then hold you hand up, displaying the space for a moment before making a fist and scream, ‘Damn you, Compound V!'”

We sit there in silence (even though in my head I’m still laughing. But now I’m not sure if it’s the vision of him projecting his protuberance or because I can see my vision unfolding). I can tell he’s not sure he can pull that off so offer a gentle persuasion.

“What else ya got, Garcia?”

(for those who don’t get the last reference, Jerry Garcia, a noted dead guy, lost a finger although I doubt he did it in such an amusing manner as this guy)

Epilogue: turns out he called me all kinds of unkind names and left the area I was inhabiting perturbed.

He was unkind to me, can you believe that shit? We all know how sensitive I am to hurtful words. And I really didn’t swear on anything that I wouldn’t disclose the manner in which he so ridiculously redesigned his finger pointing. Oh, my, my, my! What to do? Oh, what to do?

Ha. You know me, I’m giving it up. Fuck him and his not seeing a (not actually) perfect story (but Compound V is pretty funny)!

He was roughhousing with some friends and it got a little out of hand, as those things are wont to do. When his friends are leaving he decided to make his displeasure with one particular participant duly noted. So, instead of sticking his hand through the open car window, he decided to give the guy the finger via the open, yet soon to be closed door.

When the finger popped off, as you’d expect, there was confusion followed by much trashing and screaming. In the confusion, when they began to load No Finger in the car, the unattached adornment fell out.

They drove to the emergency room and, once there, were asked if anyone had the finger. Whoops! They ran back to the blood soaked vehicle but couldn’t find it. So drove back to the scene of the fucking funn. . .oh, sorry, bad incident. But nothing could be found. I figure a dog ate it or a small child was using it to pick his nose but only because I like happy endings.

It turns out, even if they’d found it, it probably couldn’t have been reattached do to the damage done to the bones and all the other things you keep inside your hand.

The moral of the story? If you come to me looking for a story, even if you don’t like it, it’s better to appease me and walk away swiftly then to make crinkly expressions right to my face! Because, in my distraught state, I may blurt out what you’ve requested quiet due to my severe depression at being horribly misunderstood.

“Wanna grab a beer?”

Posted on August 25, 2010 | 4 comments

A simple question. But, as a public service to those who may be new to asking people if they’d like to get an adult beverage, well, anything really, and they get this answer,

“Oh, yeah, well, sure, I guess, yeah, why not?”

That person is lying.

What they really mean is,

“Gee, I’d really like to, and I don’t want you to think I’m a (fill in level of pussification), but my (fill in relationship status) wants me home so I can (fill in inane activity) but, damnit, if I leave here without grabbing a beer you’ll think I’m a (fill in level of pussification squared).”

But they never come out and say that. Hell, I’d have respect if they did. What they end up doing is having this internal battle balancing the act (grabbing a beer) versus the result (level of shit they’ll get).

“Yeah, well,” he starts to talk himself in or out of it. “Maybe a quick one. Yeah, that should be fine. I mean, it’s not like we’ll be out long, will we?”

Don’t put your pussy whipped neurosis on me. Nut up, sackless.

“Well, I, it, we, me, ah, what the hell!”

It always ends with a ‘what the hell!’

“As long as it’s a quick one.”

Followed quickly by the escape route.

“Slow down, cowboy! I wouldn’t want you to strain your labia.”

I don’t HAVE to be insulting at this crossroad of a mans life. It just seems like such a moral imperative, doesn’t it?

I then offer that, if he thinks there will be a problem, he should call and check. I have no problem with that. I do it. I never know what’s been planned in my absence. But, there’s that voice in his head again, the loud one that tells the rational one he doesn’t have to ask permission.

Guys, that loud voice in your head?

Belongs to a moron.

“Fuck that!” The moron exclaims! “Let’s get a beer!” There’s a pause as the moron drools it’s victory spit all over the place while the rational one ducks for cover. “Maybe a couple!”

“Slow down, little buddy! It sounds like you’re busting loose and partying like a middle aged account representative with tinnitus and a growing case of the gout!”

I put my hand on his shoulder and say,

“You throw down, boy, and party ’til it’s 7:45!”

We went across the street and here I will describe the event as precisely as possible:

We sit. We order. Order arrives. Phone rings. He hesitates. He answers. He listens. He drinks. He pays. He leaves.

I laugh.

Parody Lyrics

Posted on August 23, 2010

A song came on the radio Friday and, although I’ve probably heard this trifle sixty-four billion times, it was the first time I thought, “Hey! What if I wrote the lyrics like this?” So, that’s what I did.

I took The Cure’s ‘It’s Friday, I’m In Love’ and made it ‘It’s Monday, I’m In Hell.’

I thought I could have made it funnier but it took a dark turn late. But what do you expect? I’m working from a blueprint set up by the king of mope?

In two days my rent is due I’m not sure I can come through My landlord’s such a fucking shrew It’s Monday, I’m in hell

My transmission fell apart Now my car will never start Why’d I buy this dumb Dodge Dart? It’s Monday, I’m in hell

Should I pray? Wait It’s so hard to trust in fate That way hasn’t been too great

I just got the fucking sack Wife freaked out she said to pack Slammed the doors screamed don’t come back It’s Monday, I’m in hell

My life’s full of blackened dread I should have just stayed in bed Oh what day will I drop dead? It’s Monday, I’m in hell

Should I pray? Wait It’s so hard to trust in fate That way hasn’t been too great

Kiss my ass good bye I can’t wait for my demise There’s nothing that I don’t despise Hate that I’m around That I am still above ground It’s a bleak losing streak Hard to be around Where is deaths stinging bite? When will it take my sight? I smell defeat in the middle of the night It can’t take me quick enough Enough of this stuff It’s Monday, I’m in hell

In two days my rent is due I’m not sure I can come through My landlord’s such a fucking shrew It’s Monday, I’m in hell

My transmission fell apart Now my car will never start Why’d I buy this dumb Dodge Dart? It’s Monday, I’m in hell

Appearances To The Contrary. . .

Posted on August 20, 2010 | 2 comments

. . .I don’t LIKE tearing people a new asshole. I’m also not that big a fan of drawing attention to myself. When I’m not working or having to be part of the action I’d rather sit there quietly. I don’t like to be on on my off times.

I also know the chance there is going to be someone who has to try to draw me in is large. It’s usually someone I know slightly but knows of my comedy persona. Trust me, Comedy Chris is much more fun or alarming to be around than Stupid, Old Regular Chris.

I’m sitting at a twenty seat bar that’s about half filled. There are six booths behind the bar that hold about four people. That establishes that it is not a large nor busy place. It’s a dive I stop once a week, once every other week. If that. Sometimes it’s a place where there’s too many people who know me so the odds I’ll be engaged rise.

But, so far, it’s been good. A couple of small, meaningless chats. Nothing taxing. Nothing deep. Then the door opens. It’s a guy, a loud, obnoxious guy if the truth be told. A back-slapping, bar-pounding, attention demanding twat, if a larger truth be told.

He usually doesn’t engage me because, one time he did, and I made him the butt of the joke. He likes attention, but not that kind of attention. But, in my experience, most of the time when I’ve verbally handed someone their jock, they don’t forget it and gnaw at the bit to garner revenge.

I guess this was his day.

He makes his grabbing, shoving, bellowing way down the bar. He’s about two people away when he looks at me and says,

“Well, if it isn’t the worst cocksucker I’ve ever known.”

I don’t look over but, peripherally in the mirror, I see everyone looking in my general direction. I don’t waste a moment. I just say,

“That’s only because your cock is so small it couldn’t even pass my lips.”

He stops dead in his tracks. My expression hasn’t changed from the moment he walked in. He blinks some of the shock off of his face. He puts his hand on a chair and begins to sit. He looks at me through the mirror for a few moments before saying,

“You’re the coldest motherfucker I’ve ever met. You didn’t even flinch.” He shakes his head. “There’s something really fucking wrong with you.” He picks up his beer and turns away from me.

Yes, he’s correct, there is indeed something really fucking wrong with me.

I like my personal time just the way I like my victims: quiet.

Not Going To Fit

Posted on August 18, 2010 | 8 comments

I was not involved in this situation when it began. I was having a nice little conversation about nothing with a friend. While talking we were both watching this tiny woman fight with this twelve foot pole.

She was attempting to fit it into a vehicle that, to my estimation, was less than twelve feet long. But what really caught my attention was the trouble she was having balancing the pole. It was swinging and swaying like a stop sign in a hurricane. The problem there was she was working the pole from the end when the middle balance point would have been much easier.

After watching this impending doom for awhile we walk over.

“That’s not going to fit the way you want it,” I give her my years of packing experience. After saying that there are only two things you do not want to hear. One is bad,

“It’ll fit.”

And that usually causes me to disengage right then. They must know more than me. But, if, after that sentence, I haven’t already hightailed it to higher grounds, you can bet I do if I hear the follow-up sentence that is worse,

“I’ll make it fit.”

Hearing that, I pull the pin on my grinade and back away smiling because all hope is lost. As I backed away I felt bad because she was really struggling and, her arms not much larger in diameter than the pole, it was swinging wildly not only around her car but the cars of others and innocent passerby’s. I had visions of someone getting skewered. So I gave it one last shot before I beat feet and locked myself in my office.

“Would you like help with that?”

I figured if I took it out of her hands I could save a life.

And who says I don’t care? Oh, yeah, that’s right. Mainly I do.

Perspiration gathering on her face it seems she had no choice but to accept my offer. I take the pole from her, from the middle, and she tells me how she WANTS it to go into the vehicle.

If I didn’t think it was going in before I was dead certain there was no possibility now. She wanted it straight down the middle of the vehicle, making sure it didn’t touch the seats, only the towels, and the hatch much close.

I explained that, and it’s just a possibility, the only way to get it into the vehicle was to angle it (“No!” She cried.) or have it stick out the window (“No!” She wailed).

I tell her, to accomplish that, she will, in fact, need a larger vehicle. I tell her as she yanks the pole back because it is that obvious that I cannot be party to this. I pull the pin, toss, slather on a grin and slink away.

She, frustration bursting, lifts the pole, pulls it back, and thrusts the twelve foot pole straight down the middle of her ten foot vehicle.

“Now what are you going to do?” She says.

Me?

Yes, me.

The man well over twelve feet away and still gathering ground eyes locked on the eighteen inches of pole sticking dead straight through the windshield.

I remind her that, from the start, I doubted her concept and she pulled the pole from me after that pronouncement. I didn’t bother mentioning that I wished I’d been walking away with a video camera. I think that would have just been mean.

She ranted for a while trying to implicate me in the impaling but saw that, mainly due to my now being fifty feet away, her words were falling on deaf ears.

I used my considerable skills at rage management to get her breathing down from it’s hummingbird wing speed. When she’s resigned herself to the fact that there is not much any of us standing there (some, I’ll admit, stiffing – some not very successfully – chuckles) could do.

“On the bright side,” I say not being able to leave well enough alone. “You’ll now be able to close the hatch.”

Quick!
