Musings on the Most Ridiculous Band I Can't Stop Listening To

The Bachelor

What the hell are you doing here, Tim Tebow?

“I don’t know. I prayed too hard and now I’m here.”

You should be careful with that.

“My prayers are powerful. I once made a Filipino boy’s head explode just by believing in Jesus real hard. It’s like Jesus said: Faith is a sword to be used against Southeast Asians.”

You’re nuts, huh?

“I’m engaged! To a woman. In fact, she’s won many awards for how womanly she is.”

She used to be Miss Universe.

“Right. Which means she outranks both Miss America and Miss World. That’s the chain of command.”

Sure. You nervous?

“I am! Listen, Mr. on the Dead, I don’t know if you know this, but…I’m a virgin.”

Of course I know. Everybody knows. You talk about it into microphones. Not a secret.

“The Bible teaches us that our bodies are sinful, filthy things that should only be shared with the person we love.”

That’s one reading of the book, I suppose.

“And now me and Demi-Leigh–”

Of course that’s her name.

“–are committing ourselves to each other under the watchful eyes of Jesus and I’m a little nervous about what to do.”

You mean after the wedding?

“Yeah. Do I do something before I stick my monkey into her belly button?”

What?

“I know at some point I stick my monkey right in her belly button. But I think that we kiss first. Does anyone get shut in a hamper?”

No.

“Okay, so it’s just kiss and then straight to monkey time.”

You are talking about your dick, right?

“I won’t have your caca language. Save that for your Starbucks coffees and your debauchery.”

You’ve never had Starbucks?

“That’s sinful froth and I won’t allow it into my temple. You know what makes the body a temple? Same thing that makes a building a church: consecration. The Lord blessed my form, and therefore purified it. Devils may not enter my holy abode.

What about Dunkin Donuts?

“I get breakfast sandwiches from there sometimes.”

Sure. Tell me more about your monkey.

“The thing down there. That’s what we called it in my family. And when it stood up, Momma would say, ‘The monkey’s climbing the tree!’ and everybody would laugh.”

Wow.

“And I’m gonna stick it in her belly-button and rub it around.”

Stop saying that. Where did you hear that, anyway?

“Some kids at school.”

Well, don’t listen to them. Didn’t you get any sex education at all?

“My church views both ‘sex’ and ‘education’ as sinful.”

Makes sense. Do you want me to walk you through this?

“Oh, please.”

Okay. It’s been a while, but I think I remember how it goes. First is kissing. You were right about that.

“Cool. Kiss first. When you kiss a girl, do you suck or blow?”

Neither.

“I thought it was like CPR and you tried to overinflate her lungs.”

Why would you do that?

“I don’t know. Human mating is weird.”

I’m just gonna continue. After the initial kissing comes the rubbing up on each other.

“All over?”

Oh, yeah.

“Her fruitful bosoms?”

Yup.

“Should I honk them?”

Under no circumstances.

“My instinct is to honk them. Like, I wanna actually make the noise.”

I understand. All men harbor this desire. But don’t.

“Should I knead powerfully?”

No.

“Mash them against her sternum real hard?”

Also no. Just kinda massage ’em. You could even go to sloppy second.

“What’s that?”

Boobie lickin’.

“It is magnificent, the variety of sin God has availed of us!”

Yeah, but it’s your wife. Won’t be a sin.

“All pleasure is evil. These are the words of Christ the Scourge. Still, I will fulfill my duties as a husband. I will attend to her nipples.”

And then you need to attend to her vagina.

“HEATHEN! SMITE HIM, SCOURGE!”

“Did your head explode?”

No. I outrank Miss Universe around here. “Vagina” is the scientific term and the medical term and the proper term.

“Can’t we just call it ‘down there?'”

No.

“Question.”

Shoot.

“When we say…vagina…what are we talking about? The whole part? Like, all of the workings in the area under a pair of shorts? How much of the upper leg is the vagina? Is the butt included? What about the butthole? Also: do girls have buttholes?”

I’ll answer the last question first.

“Great,”

Girls have buttholes.

“Wow. I have a lot of follow-up questions now.”

Well get back to them. The vagina is the little flappy part of a lady right in front of her taint. Guards the female innards. Behind the vagina is a series of tubes. The butthole plays no part.

“I’m learning so much. What do I do to it?”

You beat it up, son.

“Really?”

NO! Do not beat up the vagina.

“I was, like, 75% sure you were joking, but I needed to be sure.”

Do the opposite of that. Be solicitous of the vagina. Caress it and perform zerberts on its protuberances.

“With my mouth?”

Yeah.

“The same mouth I praise Jesus with?”

I guess.

“SMITE HIM, LORD! PLUCK HIM FROM THE WORLD OF MEN!”

Stop that.

“You suggest filth! You offer up maggots made from sin to worm in upon my soul! You liken humans to animals slurping at their genitals in the barn?”

Pretty much.

“Devil!”

How are you this sheltered? You’re 31 years old.

“Christ swats ribaldry from my ears, that my soul may remain beautiful as I prepare my body for His return.”

Good excuse.

“Guys really do that? You put your mouth on her forest? Do you chew?”

Absolutely not. Delicate nibbling at most.

“And why am I doing this?”

Because the act is enjoyable by all parties.

“Only to the unsaved. It’s like Jesus said, Look at all of you rutting like hogs. Disgusting. All of you make me want to vomit. Sexual relations are to be endured so that babies may be produced.”

We definitely have different Bibles. Oh, and you’re doing this because you gotta warm your old lady up. She’s a virgin, too, right?

“By the grace of God, she has defended her castle until it was the right time for a Knight of Christ to cross the drawbridge, and assume the throne.”

Yeah, so she’ll be clamped down tight. Gonna have to coax those castle doors open. Might wanna bring some grease.

“Bacon?”

Do not pour bacon grease on your wife’s vagina, Tim Tebow. I meant lubricant.

“Can I just eat the bacon grease straight out of the pan?”

Forget I said “grease.” I regret using the word.

“Well, you got in my head. I gotta get some breakfast sandwiches now. We’ll continue this later.”

Excuse me? You leave when I say you can–

Hello? Tim Tebow?

Wow. He just left.

Arouse Your Loins; The Engagement Draws Nigh

Hey, it’s Vince McMahon’s younger brother who’s a History professor at a mid-level college and is currently engaged in several sexual harassment lawsuits.

“No, it’s–”

It’s the guy Central Casting sends over when you need a U.S. Senator.

“This is–”

His haircut looks pricey.

“Oh, yeah. This is Michael Buffer.”

Right. The guy who says LET’S GET–

“SHUT UP! Stop talking!”

–READY TO–

“STOP!”

What?

“You can’t say his phrase. It’s trademarked, and copyrighted, and patented. It belongs to him in every single way, and he guards his intellectual property like a lioness protects her lunch.”

Ah.

“And don’t parody the phrase. You can’t announce that people should prepare themselves to stumble, or grumble, or whatever.”

But parody is explicitly covered under the laws of Fair Use.

“Sure, but the bastard’ll make you spend two years and a hundred grand proving it. The guy uses lawyers like nunchucks. He’s not subtle. Quite frankly, I wanna get the hell away from him.”

What does he smell like?

“What someone in a casino means when he uses the word ‘classy.'”

Everything about that man screams “casino.”

“He tipped me when we met. A twenty, all folded up in his palm.”

Wow. How soft are his hands?

“Fresh pudding.”

Wow. Y’know what? This guy’s a fucking genius. No one on earth works as little for as much money.

“He found a good angle. Can I go?”

CELL PHONE NOISE

“Dammit.”

Why would you even ask?

“You’re on with John.”

“John, it’s Steve King.”

“Wow, awesome. I’m a huge fan.”

“No, the other one.”

“Ah, shit. How did you get my number?”

“CIA.”

“Jesus. Why are you calling?”

“I’m doing a benefit–”

“Pass.”

“–this weekend and we’ve got an open slot as far as entertainment goes. Now, uh, you couldn’t bring your comedian buddy Dave Champagne or whatever his name is, but other than that you’re on your own as far as content.”

“Nope. Hardest of passes. First of all, I’m going to a high-end resort in Mexico to solo in front of rich people.”

“I bet that resort has a wall!”

“A fence, I guess.”

“AHA! So lemme ask you, Mr. Anal Sex–”

“Please don’t call me that.”

“–if a Mexican resort can have a wall, then why can’t we randomly kill half of all Mexicans? Like Thanos.”

“I have no response. Congressman, I’m not doing a benefit for you. I’m not from Iowa, and you’re a Nazi. Just a giant, flaming Nazi.”

“Here we go! Liberals have diluted words to the point of being meaningless. What does ‘Nazi’ mean? How am I a Nazi?”

“Do you subscribe to the tenets of National Socialism?”

“Hell, yeah.”

“That’s how. That’s how you’re a Nazi. I’m not doing your benefit.”

“Do you have Ted Nugent’s number?”

DIAL TONE NOISE EVEN THOUGH PHONES NO LONGER DO THAT

An Expert Opinion

“My God.”

The Trump speech?

“The entire situation. The, uh, appropriate term for it is unsayable with Mrs. Nixon in the room.”

Hello, ma’am.

“Pat received your warm wishes, and she, uh, returns them. By my side, Mrs. Nixon is. Not just in a physical sense, but morally and religiously, so forth. Man needs a good wife in this game. It’s why Booker has no shot. Americans will stand for many things, but not a bachelor. If he’s queer, well, that’s apparently fine now. I don’t care about that. But you can’t be single.”

Astute observation, sir. And we don’t say ‘queer’ any more.

“I only used that description because, again, of Mrs. Nixon’s presence. Among the company of my aides, Haldeman, Kissinger, those sorts, I use much earthier language. Erlichmann does an impression of the homosexual mannerisms that, uh, is a source of much laughter in the Oval Office. He waves his arms around, the whole deal.”

Sure.

“Nixon was never any good at impressions. They never came naturally. I had to work all my life just to do a passable Jimmy Cagney. Not like those Kennedy boys. Each one of them, a Rich Little with a hundred-dollar haircut.”

Mr. President, have you been drinking?

“Of course I’ve been drinking! The chaos this fool is causing! Bad for business, bad for the country, bad for everyone. Confusion? Now, confusion is a tool. Many political strategies rely on keeping various parties to a plan in the dark, but there’s no plan here. The baboon is pissing on the radiator and laughing at the smell.”

Do you think he could salvage a political win here, sir?

“Win? No. The best he can now hope for is to not lose too badly. He promised the morons a wall, and they believed him. They’ll hold him to it. The judges mean nothing. The tax cut is forgotten. No one chanted for those things, anyway. The wall. If he cannot deliver it, then his base will turn on him.”

“JUS’ LIKE YEW TURNED ON ME, NIX!”

“Elvis?”

“AH HAVE MADE MAH RETURN, AN’ AH COME BEARIN’ A BUNCH O’ GOOBERS IN HATS.”

“Hello, King. Goobers.”

“Y’ALL DONE F’RGOT MAH BIRTHDAY, NIX! AH’M MADDER TH’N A MAN WITH RATTLESNAKE TOILET PAPER!”

“Well, uh, King: during our last visit together, you led me to believe that this universe was, I believe the term you used, semi-fictional and therefore outside time.”

“A MAN STILL WANTS A CAKE!”

“Ah. Perhaps Mrs. Nixon has some leftovers in the fridge.”

“YOU AIN’T GOTTA FEED TH’ GOOBERS!”

“Good to know, King. Excellent information. And, uh, happy birthday.”

“THASS ALL AH WANTED T’ HEAR, NIX. GOVERNMENT’S SHUT DOWN, BUT YOUR HEART AIN’T.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

Crisis On Just One Earth

There’s no crisis at the Southern border: it’s thousands of miles of sun and dust and occasionally a straggle of the world’s poorest, most powerless human beings. Had they anything of value, they would be in a car or on a plane; they do not, and so they walk across a desert. Their best-case scenario upon reaching the United States is twelve hours a day doing fieldwork, or changing sheets and swopping shit at a Motel 8. Every-other-case scenario involves being raped and murdered.

The climate is a crisis, though. The North Pole is now full of cargo ships and Japanese bathing monkeys, and there is so little ice left that Margarita Monday has been permanently canceled. The storms are stormier, and the droughts are droughtier, and none of the seasons last the right number of weeks any more. The Great Barrier Reef is barely even good. Bees were. We are cooking ourselves in our own juices, Enthusiasts, and that seems like a crisis to me.

Poor fucks in Yemen got nothing to eat, and the poor fucks in Flint got nothing to drink. More slaves today than there were in the 1860’s, but there’s much less Amazon. Weird bastards in hidden labs are teasing apart genomes. The bridges are falling down, but the America’s Cup showed its best time ever; they’re making the sails from carbon fiber nowadays. One might discern a crisis in these facts.

Our rockets are owned by preening dildos, and our jails by oily goons, and our children are blubbery dunces, and there is rat shit in all the food but hopefully not above the acceptable limit. Have you noticed that we keep reminding one another not to suicide? Everyone’s so goddamned sad lately; that must be a crisis.

“We are in great haste to construct a magnetic telegraph from Maine to Texas; but Maine and Texas, it may be, have nothing important to communicate.”  Thoreau wrote that while he was pretending to be Natty Bumppo in his boyfriend’s backyard. We put the whole world on that telegraph, all of society–the money and the governments and the entertainment and the sex–we translated our lives into a Binary, a language no one understands. Translation isn’t a copy; it’s a whole new ballgame. Grammar is all different, and then you got Quine’s rabbit problem. I’m sure this is no crisis, though, as Anderson Cooper does not seem concerned.

The airports will begin closing soon. The security personnel will not work for free for much longer, and neither will the air traffic controllers. The evictions will start three days after rent is due, because landlords are mostly scum, and those who depended on food stamps for dinner will have empty stomachs. Might not be a crisis to you, and certainly not to the President, but it is for the couple with the hungry kids.

And in the White House, stuffed behind a desk he is not worthy of, is the biggest crisis of them all.

What To Watch On Teevee Tonight Instead Of Basketball Head’s Racist Bullshit

Surviving R. Crumb This six-part miniseries focuses on the torment famed illustrator Robert Crumb has caused in the lives of everyone he’s forced to listen to old-timey jazz records.

Maria Kondo’s Ethnic Cleansing Having cleaned up our apartments, Kondo now gets rid of gypsies and the Rohingya.

Bonnaroo Banter! Cardi B fans and Phish phans have a pleasant and reasonable conversation about this year’s lineup. (Just kidding: it gets personal immediately, but everyone does agree that Childish Gambino is pretty cool.)

Dabo Swinney Talks Catfish “Now, y’all sissy-boys from the Nawth go noodlin’ with y’all’s arms. Thass cuz y’all sissies are pussies. Take off y’all’s britches an’ let a Southern man show you how to catch a fish.”

Weekend At Tony’s Anthony Bourdain’s exhumed corpse is fitted with a Dead Boys tee-shirt and dragged to various third world nations to be propped up near street food vendors.

Mrs. Robot Exact same show as Mr. Robot, but gender-flipped.

Some Variety Of Sport Large men, all conspicuously fit, disagree over the proper location of a ball and/or puck. Smaller men, most rather paunchy, narrate the action. Gritty might make an appearance.

Guy Debord’s Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives Guy Debord goes from bistro to bistro, sampling the local cuisine and occasionally shooting off a pistol in a crowd to prove some sort of philosophical point.

Kellyanne Conway and Jim Acosta Finally Fuck You know they want to. Only question is who’s on top

Question Time With Karl The Ghost of Karl Marx takes calls and patiently explains that, no, a progressive tax code and guaranteed healthcare is not in fact Communism.

Sam Kinison’s Racist Bullshit Just as hateful and thoughtless as the President, but Sam does the “OH! OHHHHH!” thing and that still makes me laugh. (Netflix recently added a bunch of Sam Kinison specials and HOLY SHIT do you not need to watch them. Leave Sam in the past.)

Man, He Can

Hey, Bobby. Did you know that Regina King’s name means Queen King?

“I have no idea who you’re talking about.”

Sure.

“Now, the clean-cut fellow to my left…is he secretly a mannequin?”

No.

“Like in that movie, Mannequin?”

He is not.

“Heck of a love story, Mannequin. And Kim Catrall. Easy on the eyes, that lady.”

It was a decent film.

“Decent? C’mon. It was part of the Catrallogy. Porky’s, Police Academy, and Mannequin. Heady days back then for a young starlet.”

What the fuck are you talking about?

“My shoulder hurt.”

And now?

“Much better.”

Ah.
