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

Tag: bob weir (Page 18 of 198)

Beaming Woman

“Bob, my legendary friend, take my freakishly large hand and let me lead you to the sanctum sanctorum.”

“Sizzler?”

“Not yet, Bob. We’ll stop at Sizzler on the way home, I promise.”

“I’m holding you to it.”

“I speak of a holy place, perhaps even quasi-mystical. A space of plans and dreams and the worst-looking feet you’ve ever seen in your life. Did you ever see The Red Shoes?”

“All over the place.”

“Not actual red shoes. The movie.”

“Ah. Was that the one with Peter Boyle?”

“Forget The Red Shoes, Bob. Grasp my prodigious paw and I will take you to a land of pure imagination.”

“Y’know, Bill, I’ve been in a dressing room once or twice.”

“Not like this, my esteemed prophet. The smells alone will have your nose reapplying for grad school. The camaraderie! The esprit de corps! The joie de vive!”

“Are those French for ‘dong?'”

“No, they’re in addition to the dong. Sweet Molly McCracken’s teats, we are gonna see some dong.”

“All right.”

Bouncing Wobblers*

THUMP

“Sir.”

THUMP

“Sir?”

THUMP

“Sir!?”

“Call me Bobby.”

“Uh-huh. Can you stop bouncing your testicles against my head?”

“Well, you should know that it’s not just the testicles. I’m working with the whole potato salad here.”

“I have no idea what that means.”

“That’s okay. They do.”

“They?”

“The readers.”

“What the fuck are you–”

THUMP

“–talking about? Y’know what? I’m just gonna move.”

“Good call.”

 

*ALTERNATIVE TITLE: Rich Man’s Dong On My Poor Head

Basketball Watchers

“Bob, I cannot describe the joy that fills my enormous, broken body that you’ve joined me here at courtside to watch the most exciting sport ever invented by man, woman, or over-educated dog. I quote the philosopher Kurtis Blow when I say ‘I love basketball.'”

“Well, you know: I’m a fan.”

“Do you know where that word comes from? ‘Fan?’ In the olden days, before the advent of conditioned air, the spectators would bring palm fronds or other large foliage to wave at the players in hopes of cooling them down. Of course, since it was the old days, the fronds were also used for the purposes of racism.”

“Sure. Anything’s racist if you hit a minority with it.”

“Listen to the crowd, Bob! The excitement! The anticipation! We find ourselves as members of a proud lineage that stretches back to the Flavian Amphitheater or the Circus Maximus.”

“I was always a Ringling’s man myself.”

“And after the game, we’ll head down into the locker rooms and check out some dong. You’ve never seen dongs like these, Bob.”

“I’ve seen Phil’s.”

“It’s nothing like that. You’re comparing a golf ball to the Death Star. These are world-class athletes with world-class dongs. That’s why the shorts are so baggy nowadays.”

“Ah.”

The Fullest Muppet Possible Given The Genetics

No one gives your ’77 beard enough credit.

“Yeah, she’s pretty manly.”

I don’t know if that sentence makes sense.

“Well, obviously my beard is female.”

Why?

“It’s, uh, sitting on my face. Not to get too Billy about the whole thing, but only ladies are allowed to saddle up.”

Sure.

“But, you know, the characteristics displayed are masculine. Robustness, stolidity, forward-thinking.”

If you say so. Why do you have Dee Dee Ramone’s haircut?

“I asked for it specifically. Gotta keep up with the punkers.”

Okay. Tell Phil I say hi.

“He’s not fond of you.”

I’m aware.

Podia

“…no one could use that bathroom for a couple of weeks. They had to get one of those companies that cleans up crime scenes to come out. Hell of a thing.”

Bobby, what are you doing?

“Pontificating. But, you know, without the hat. Or the child abuse. Sometimes I wear a hat, though. But never the child abuse. You shouldn’t even compare those two things, really.”

True.

“Big on hats, the Catholics. And, uh, the Jews. Their hats aren’t as big. Just as holy, apparently.”

Bobby, why are you giving a speech?

“Because my mime work is sub-par at best. At best.”

I don’t even know what that–

“Bobby! Hey, buddy! We talking hats?”

“We were covering a lot of subjects, Birdy.”

“Benjy.”

“Okay.”

“Bobby, I know hats. When it comes to hats, I make Holly Bowling look like an amateur.”

“That’s a bold statement.”

“I’ll back it up. Watch what happens when I take this one off.”

HAT REMOVING NOISE

“Huh. There’s another one under there.”

“Hats all the way down, man! Let’s join podiums.”

“I don’t know about that.”

“C’mon. It’s not gay. We’ll touch tips.”

“I don’t want to touch tips, Booboo.”

“Benjy.”

“Okay.”

PYROTECHNIC NOISE!

“What, uh, the hell was that?”

“I heard we were having a podium party.”

Okay, this has gotten stupid.

“I agree.”

Which one of you said that?

“Me.”

“Me.”

“Me.”

Sounds right.

Bobby Knobby

Hey, Mickey. Looking flexible.

“I’m lithe, and my tendons are supple.”

Gross. Hey, Bobby.

“Howdy.”

Buddy, you’re the worst clown I’ve ever seen. You look stern.

“I was going for whimsical.”

You missed it and hit morose.

“I gotta cut down on the botox.”

Sure. I mean, look how happy Mickey is. That’s how you wear a clown nose.

“Yeah, sure, but Mickey’s drunk.”

You’re not?

“I am, but off a different liquor.”

That does make sense.

All I Know Is That She Sang A Lille While

Hey, Mrs. Donna Jean. Whatcha doing?

“Ah’m boogyin’, sugar. Most nobody don’ know what kinda moves Ah got.”

You mostly just swayed gently onstage.

“Ah was under strict instructions! Miz Donna Jean, we ain’t that kinda band. That’s what e’rybody would tell me. Otherwise, Ah woulda done a li’l hotsteppin’.”

I had no idea.

“Dancin’ Queen Donna Jean. That was mah nickname growin’ up in Alabama. Ah once had the honor of performin’ the tango with Governor Wallace.”

What was that like?

“He kept jammin’ his pecker into mah stomach.”

Sounds right.

OR

I see you back there, Ramrod.

OR

Full.

Fucking.

Muppet.

There’s Not Enough Question Marks For This One

The important questions, Enthusiasts. We concern ourselves with only the most vital of the day’s issues. Let lesser sites finger their rosaries over peace, war, coffee cups left on tables, et cetera. These are trifles. No, we’ll not be spending our ever-shrinking lives boodling about in the intellectual shallow end. We’re gonna get down to what’s really real, you and me.

And, thus, we come to our question: Did Phil yoink Bobby’s BMW shirt?

I told you it was important.
