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

Tag: kim jong un (Page 3 of 8)

Wardrobe Concerns

You can’t be in the Grateful Dead anymore.

“Not your decision.”

It is. I’ve staged a coup. Like in Venezuela.

“Topical.”

Seriously, though: you’re out of the group. This is disqualifying behavior.

“You’re telling me none of the Dead ever did fashion spreads back in the day?”

Not one. Each of them walked around like a tatterdemalion.

“Whatever. I have a distinct taste that I like to inject into the zeitgeist. Would you like to discuss the intersectionality of meme culture and streetwear?”

God, no.

“For me right now, what trousers are all about is modality. Of seams. Of cuffs. My wardrobe has to shift and bob weave, and this on multiple planes. So, really, we’re talking about modality and planality. And temporality, if we’re gonna be clothes-nerds about the whole thing, because maybe I’m rocking a bandana from Massive Tongue from 2006 and combining that with a Visvim superbelt from 2012.”

Superbelt?

“It’s like a belt, but better.”

Sure.

CELL PHONE NOISE

“You’re becoming predictable.”

Becoming? These bits ran out of juice years ago. Answer the phone.

“You’re on the can with a stylish man.”

“Little Potato!”

“Fuck.”

“Why you not come to Only Korea on Asia tour, bro? Not cool, bro! You hit Pyongyang Stadium! Be epic!”

“Absolutely not.”

“Residency at casino.”

“You have a casino?”

“I build casino.”

“Kim, I can’t play Only Korea. It’s against the law.”

“Not here. You come. Rock out. Green room will be so nice for you.”

“No.”

“Spacious. Airy. Tasteful. Kim Jong-Un pack with skank.”

“Hanging up.”

“Father invent skank.”

DIAL TONE NOISE EVEN THOUGH PHONES NO LONGER DO THAT

A Fine Time

What is this now?

“I’ve joined the E Street Band.”

Goddammit.

“I tried to join Phish, but they ghosted on me.”

Is that the reason Curveball was cancelled?

“Yeah. The water was fine. Those guys are just fucking dicks.”

Aw. Sorry, buddy. But you really don’t have to join Bruce’s band.

“I’m gritty!”

You’re from Connecticut and collect typewriters.

“Typewriters from the streets.”

John, put the telecaster and denim down.

“It’s all selvage.”

Selvage is the IPA of denim. White people need to stop complicating staple items.

“Listen, I…I’m afraid to go home.”

What? Oh, noes.

“Since the robbery.”

Burglary.

“What’s the difference?”

Robbery is stealing from a person; burglary is stealing from a place.

“Huh. Learn something every day. Can we get back to my newly-acquired crippling phobia?”

Sure.

“I was violated! And not in the fun way that involves safe words and pop stars! I drive to my house and I start shaking. I can’t go in, man. So I’m staying out on tour for the rest of my life if I have to join every legacy act in the country.”

Uh-huh. John?

“Yeah?”

You own at least two more homes.

“You are right. Apartment in New York and the spread in Montana.”

So you could just go there.

“Are you aware of how hot Montana gets in the summer? Lot of bugs, too.”

So go to New York.

“I can’t deal with Cynthia Nixon’s bullshit.”

No one can. Huh. I don’t know what to do. You can stay with me.

“No.”

Good decision. Go stay with one of your comic friends. How about Saget?

“He sleepwalks.”

Oh.

“And then he sleepfucks.”

Sure. John?

“What?”

CELL PHONE NOISE

It turns out I don’t care about your rich people problems.

“Asshole.”

“What?”

“Little Potato always have place to stay!”

“Ah, shit.”

“You come Only Korea. Live like king. I got Cokes.”

“Real Cokes?”

“Kinda.”

“Dude, this is not the best time. Plus, if Bruce sees me on the phone he’s gonna fine me. I’ve been in the E Street Band for an hour and I owe him $8,000.”

“Boss run tight ship.”

“He does.”

“I kill for you.”

“NO! Do not assassinate Bruce Springsteen!”

“Make look like accident.”

“How would you do that?”

“Piano fall on him.”

“Do not drop a piano on Bruce, please.”

“Father invent New Jersey.”

“Hanging up.”

“Hey!”

Yeah?

“Either he needs to stop calling me or you need to write him some new jokes.”

Oh, bite me.

“It’s a little formulaic at this point.”

So was your last album.

“FUCK YOU!”

FUCK YOU!

“HEY! What the hell you doing, new guy?”

 

“Ah, Jeez. Sorry, Bruce.”

“That’s another grand!”

“Aww.”

Slow Dancing In A Burglarized House

Oh, noes.

“Dude, I’m in no mood for your shit right now.”

Did you throw away your toothbrush? The burglar most likely stuck it up his ass.

“Dude.”

And you need to throw away any doughnuts you might have.

“Dude.”

Because he most likely hung them on his dick. That happens all the time.

“It doesn’t. It’s an urban legend, and I have no patience for you at the moment.”

House got robbed, huh?

“Fuckers.”

I’m sorry, bro. What’d they get?

“Bunch of watches.”

The real ones or the fakes?

“I don’t own any fake watches.”

You are fake watch.

“That doesn’t even make sense!”

Wow, this burglary has made you emotional.

“You’re a shit-man. You’re just made entirely of shit.”

What else did they steal?

“My necklace with the Big Lebowski on it.”

This one?

“Yeah.”

Burglar did you a favor.

“Dude, that was a one-of-a-kind.”

Of course it was. You were the only one dumb enough to buy it.

“It’s a Ben the Baller!”

You have the most embarrassing set of friends.

“You don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Is he saved in your phone as “Ben” or “Mr. the Baller?”

“I think we’re about done.”

Did they get any toppermosts?

“No. They probably didn’t recognize how much they’re worth.”

No one ever does.

“But…uh…they got something else.”

It’s not a tape of you saying the N-word. That wasn’t a secret.

“No, not that. Other tapes.”

Oooooohhhhh.

“Yeah.”

This is so good for you.

“What? It’s terrible for me!”

Were you fucking strong?

“What?

#FUCKSTRONG?

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

Sex tapes aren’t bad any more. People launch their careers from them.

“I don’t need to launch my career. I have a very successful career.”

Successful.

“Please go away.”

Sure. I’ll go away.

CELL PHONE NOISE

“Saw that coming.”

Oh, yeah.

“Whaaaaaat?”

“Little Potato!”

“Ah, shit.”

“You get burgerfied?”

“Burglarized.”

“The Buggles?”

“My house got broken into and some shit got stolen.”

“Not Lebowski necklace!?”

“Yeah.”

“Is Ben the Baller original!”

“I know!”

“Is no acceptable, Hot Dog Dick–”

“You need to settle on one nickname for me.”

“–and Kim Jong Un on case.”

“What? No. Do not go on the case!”

“I solve. In meantime, I send you delicacies from Only Korea.”

“What the hell are Only Korean delicacies?”

“Single-serving haddock kimchi.”

“Ugh!”

“Is delicious. Father invent haddock.”

“Kim, I have things to do.”

“You go Curveball?”

“I’m gonna hang up.”

“Trey on fire lately.”

DIAL TONE NOISE EVEN THOUGH PHONES NO LONGER DO THAT

“Any way you can dissuade him from helping me solve the case?”

Even if I could, I wouldn’t.

“That’s what I guessed.”

Hey, Hey, Hey Now

Hey, hey, hey.

“It’s not a Rudy hat.”

It is absolutely a Rudy hat.

“Nope.”

Dude, don’t fucking argue with me about the Junkyard Gang. It’s a Rudy hat, and that’s final. Here, look:

See? He’s even got a guitar like you. You’re Rudy now.

“I am not–”

Shut up, Rudy.

“Dude, I will literally–”

CELL PHONE NOISE

“I’m not picking it up.”

No?

ROAD CASE FULL OF COLLECTIBLE SNEAKERS SPONTANEOUSLY COMBUSTING NOISE

“Fine, I’ll pick it up.”

I thought so.

“Which hateful fat fuck is this?”

“I no fat. I husky.”

“Hey, Kim Jong-Un.”

“Hot Dog Dick, you need come get your boy.”

“Who?”

“WHAT FUCK HE DOING?”

“Dude, I got no idea.”

“Look my face.”

“You look surprised.”

“Did no see this one coming.”

“None of us did. Not a single one of us saw this one coming.”

“He something else, bro. But you need come get now.”

“No one here wants him back. Why don’t you take him home with you?”

“Dummy no be happy in Only Korea. We no have Burger King.”

“Oh, right.”

“But we no have Mexicans, either. So maybe he like.”

“If you throw him a parade every week, he’ll be thrilled. And talk about him on teevee. He loves that.”

“No want him. Kim Jong-Un ditch. Come pick up Little Potato.”

“Do not come and pick me up. I’m busy.”

“Got idea. Kidnap Phish. Kill Trey. You guitar player now. We make out with Katy Tur.”

“No.”

“Each take a boobie.”

“No.”

“We do double-team. Kim Jong-Un go around back. You stay in front yard.”

“Hanging up now.”

“Okay if you look in my eyes while we bang. No homo.”

DIAL TONE NOISE EVEN THOUGH PHONES NO LONGER DO THAT

“That was unpleasant.”

Everything about this year is unpleasant, Rudy.

“Fuck you.”

How Does Your Garden Bro?

I didn’t know Colonel Sanders was into psychedelics now.

“This is not–”

It’s like your friends are having a contest to see who can dress the worst.

“This man happens to be–”

Is Supreme for people other than douchebags now? Because up until the moment I started writing this sentence, the brand was exclusively worn by douchebags.

“Supreme is an iconic brand of streetwear that pioneered–”

What’s the point of a private plane if there’s gonna be hobos on it?

“He’s not a hobo, he’s–”

You look like the paper we took geometry tests on.

“This suit is by–”

CELL PHONE NOISE

“I just don’t like you.”

Yeah, yeah. Complain to EDM Tom Bombadil over there. Pick up the phone.

“Gee, I wonder who this is.”

I think we both know.

“Yes, Kim Jong-Un?”

“Hot Dog Dick!”

“Is that Josh Meyers? I freejacked him once and almost destroyed the world in a Time War, and people have been talking about ever since. No one does Time Wars better than me, and that’s figuring for all of the illegitimate attacks on my Time War skills by the haters and losers who are very dumb.”

“Oh, shit.”

“Me and Dotard rage, bro.”

“Obama couldn’t do this. Peace. between America and North Korea, I mean.”

“Only Korea.”

“Tried and failed. Everything the man did was a failure and I have to clean up his mess. Obama probably couldn’t do this referring to swimming, either. Not great swimmers.”

“KJ?”

“Little Potato?”

“Could you swim away from him for a moment?”

“Can do.

ONLY KOREAN DOG PADDLING NOISE

“You no make dog joke.”

“I wouldn’t think of it.”

“Fatty no stop talking. Also think he peeing in pool. Water suspiciously warm around him.”

“He’s almost certainly peeing in the pool. Why are you two in the pool?”

“Have to wash off bitch-stink.”

“Ugh.”

“Got bitch juice all over. We go through half-dozen. Bing bang bing.”

“Dude, don’t say ‘Bing bang whatever.’ That’s his thing.”

“I steal. Is fun. I point, say Bing bang, whole family disappear. Fun.”

“That’s not fun.”

“Is fun if you homicidal maniac without any tether to reality.”

“True. So, lemme ask you: anything actually get accomplished at this summit?”

“I get picture with US President.”

“Besides that.”

“I fuck bitches.”

“That’s a given.”

“Only Korean scientists invent super-viagara. Dick-skin can barely hold in bone.”

“Stop telling me these things.”

“You want see? Is short but thick. Like stack of silver dollar pancakes.”

“Please stop it.”

CALL WAITING NOISE

“You hold.”

“I don’t want to hold! Don’t put me–”

“Can’t have fun without Kim Jong-Un.”

“Oh, thank God you picked up. I mean, you’re a version of God, Your Powerfulness, but I also meant the other God. I’m just so happy to talk to you because…the things they’re saying about you…about us…I just can’t….”

“STOP CRY!”

“This is a very emotional time for me, Your Delicacy. I believed in peace when no one else did…and then the cruelty of the fake news…why do they hate us…is it because we love too much?”

“Sure, yeah, maybe. Could be other reasons, but probably ‘love too much’ thing.”

ONLY KOREAN MAN IMITATING THE CALL WAITING NOISE SOUND

“Oh, no. Gotta go. Talk later, Worm.”

“What hotel are you guys staying–”

CLICK

“Hot Dog Dick?”

“Yes.”

“Worm change, man. That guy no fun. Cry all time. Black men get menopause?”

“No. Of course black men don’t get menopause.”

“Hey, I only know one black guy.”

“Sure.”

“Come Singapore. We party. I get Dummy to do stuff. We laugh.”

“I’m through laughing at any of this.”

“You and readers.”

“What?”

“Nothing. Come rage. Bring your Santamonster.”

DIAL TONE NOISE EVEN THOUGH PHONES NO LONGER DO THAT

“The summit’s over, y’know. So we can stop this.”

But I have more pictures.

“Die.”

One day.

The World Hangs In The Balance

“Hi-vis or hi-Visvim?”

Very clever.

“I kid, of course. Cops couldn’t afford my clothes. This jacket? Four grand.”

Why?

“So that only rich people can wear it. Duh.”

How foolish of me.

“Dude, between you and me?”

Sure.

“This white guy’s a mess.”

He is, right?

“There’s no skew to him. Completely askew.”

He looks like Alex Jones and current-day Val Kilmer had a baby, and then ate the baby and fused together into a super-bloated dude, and then became a cop.

“I guess, okay.”

So how’s the tour going?

“Really well! We’re doing some new numbers and Bobby is in great–”

CELL PHONE NOISE

“–voice and…you didn’t care about the tour. You were lulling me into a false sense of security before some maniacal idiot calls me, weren’t you?”

Yes. Exactly what you said.

“Asshole.”

Again: you are correct.

“This is John Mayer.”

“What the fuck, bro? That’s how you answer the phone? I been getting death threats and that’s how you answer the phone? What the…I don’t…”

“Who is this and why are you crying?”

“It’s the Worm. I’m on CNN. Say hi to Chris Cuomo.”

“Ladies and gentlemen, I’ve just been informed that John Mayer is on the line.”

“Goddammit.”

“John, can you lay out for the audience what your thoughts on the Trump/Kim summit are?”

“Um, not really.”

“I’ll speak for John, Chris.”

“Dennis Rodman does not speak for me, Chris.”

“What John means to say is that he loves Kim Jong-Un, because President Kim has a good heart. You hear all these things in the fake news about starving or nukes or this and that and all of that is because very powerful players want North Korea to be the bad guy. But he’s not the bad guy…he’s just not…why do you all talk so bad about my Kimmy Jay…I can’t…I just can’t….”

“John Mayer, 1991’s NBA Defensive Player of the Year Dennis Rodman is once again crying over his love for North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Un. Your thoughts?”

“I think I’m gonna hang up the phone.”

“Is Bobby there? Maybe Bob Weir has a hot take on the summit.”

DIAL TONE NOISE EVEN THOUGH PHONES NO LONGER DO THAT

“Why do you do this to me?”

Boredom, jealousy, irascibility.

“Stop it.”

No.

“Please?”

Okay.

CELL PHONE NOISE

“Dick!”

Yup.

“What?”

“This how answer phone? Is not cool.”

“Dammit. Hey, Kim Jong-Un.”

“You talk to Worm? We hook up later. Rage so hard.”

“Sounds fun.”

“That guy fucks.”

“I’m sure he does.”

“Like force of nature. Ruins bitches.”

“Let’s not get misogynist here.”

“Tough not to here. Is capital of sin.”

“Singapore? No. It’s like the opposite of that. They cane you for chewing gum in Singapore. You’re thinking of Bangkok.”

“For realsies?”

“Yup.”

“Motherfucker. I have schedulers starved to death.”

“Good idea.”

“You come here, Little Potato. You , me, Worm, ‘Ye. We all party.”

“No, I’m not going to…wait. ‘Ye is there?”

“He with Worm.”

“COME TO SINGAPORE, LITTLE POTATO. I DID NOT BRING ANY OF MY MEDICATION AND HAVE MANY IDEAS.”

“My man ‘Ye…people say such bad things about him, but I know what a kind soul he has…why do they say such horrible things…it makes me so sad…I just can’t…I can’t….”

“DENNIS RODMAN’S TEARS ARE MADE OF WIZARDS.”

“I’m hanging up again.”

“BILLIONAIRES ARE SELLING FLAMETHROWERS AND THAT IS A THING THAT IS ACTUALLY HAPPENING.”

“Hot Dog Dick?”

“You’re still on the line?”

“Am always listening. You come. We rage. Want to come in to the summit? I say you are translator. Dotard believe.”

“I don’t want to pretend to be your translator.”

“Father invent translator.”

“I’m not answering the phone again tonight.”

Aw.

An Enduring Friendship

What are you doing?

“Sitting quietly. Trying not to make any facial expressions.”

Why not?

“Emotions cause wrinkles.”

True. I like your big-boy suit.

“This is a Tom Ford.”

You borrowed your suit?

“No. He’s the designer. Very expensive.”

Bitchin’. Hey, lemme ask you a question.

“Okay.”

Shouldn’t Captain America be at least Major America by now? He’s been a captain for 75 years.

“I think it’s more of a code name than an actual rank.”

Maybe.

“Could be worse. He could get busted down and become Lieutenant America.”

Oh, that’s awful.

“And virtually impossible to spell. Plus, everyone would call him ‘Loo.’ Like they call him ‘Cap’ now?”

Ugh.

“Why can’t we just get along like this all the time? I mean, if you’re not going to simply leave me alone, which is my first choice.”

Y’know, you’re right. We should be nicer to each other.

“I’m perfectly decent to you. You’re the dick in this relationship. Don’t ‘Both Sides’ this shit here.”

Takes two to tangle.

“Tango.”

CELL PHONE NOISE

Don’t correct me.

“I despise you.”

Yeah, yeah.

“This is John Mayer. I’m wearing a suit.”

“Guess who coming to Florida, Little Potato?”

“Shit.”

“Kim Jong-Un all ready for fun in sun.”

“You’re not coming to Florida.”

“I do whole state. Disney, Key West, Art Basel.”

“You are not going to Art Basel.”

“Father invent Art Basel.”

“Dude, this is not going to happen and you know it. Dumbass didn’t really invite you to Florida.”

“Hear him say. Kim Jong-Un trust Dotard. Man of word.”

“We’re talking about Donald Trump, right?”

“Honorable. Clearly intelligent. Truly my equal.”

“You’re just seeing how far you can push this trolling, aren’t you?”

“Is for the lulz.”

“Got it. You’re not planning on dismantling any of your nuclear program, are you?”

“No! Kim Jong-Un dismantle!”

“Oh. Okay.”

“And then when Round-Eyes leave room, Kim Jong-Un put back together.”

“There it is.”

“I mantle.”

“That’s not how that word works.”

“Let’s hear you speak Only Korean.”

“Touche.”

“You come down. We go to EPCOT. Start fights with Japanese tourists.”

“Pass.”

“I kidnap.”

Probably.

“Fuck you.”

Yeah, yeah.

Bowling, Laughing

Hey, Holly Bowling. Whatcha laughing at?

“My hat just said the funniest thing.”

You two have a very close relationship.

“My hat is my Chewbacca.”

Great analogy. How’s it going with Ghost Light?

“Awesome. We have a whole bunch of gigs this summer. Hitting the festival circuit.”

Say hi to Woody Hayes for me.

“Oh, he’s a sweetheart when he stops soloing. The one you gotta watch out for is Chris Robinson. Luckily, you can smell him coming.”

What does Chris Robinson smell like?

“Exactly the aroma you’d imagine, but times ten. And there’s a citrus top-note.”

Fascinating.

CELL PHONE NOISE

“Is that for me?”

It is.

“Is it someone terrible who’s gonna say terrible things, terribly?”

Yeah.

“Get jolly with Holly.”

“Who is this?”

“Is Kim Jong-Un. Want hire Holly Bowling. Got job.”

“No. I’m not working for North Korea.”

“Only Korea.”

“It’s wrong and I’m pretty positive that it’s illegal.”

“Is no illegal if cops no see.”

“That’s not how treason works.”

“Treason such ugly word. Is job. You no capitalist, Asparagus Fingers?”

“Why are you calling me that?”

“Fingers long like asparagus. Freaky fingers. No have fingers like that in Only Korea.”

“Please stop.”

“Make Kim Jong-Un feel tense. In good way.”

“Ew.”

“You stick finger up Kim Jong-Un butt, massage nipple from inside.”

“That’s not how the human body works. And: ew.”

“I hire Holly Bowling. Very good money. Big money. Definitely not counterfeit money.”

“Boo. You sell-out. Kim Jong-Un no run through halls of high school no more.”

“Sad to hear that. Why are you calling?”

“You want talk Moon Jae-In?”

“Does he design sneakers?”

“We have more important–”

“Moon watch Hot Dog Dick video or die in nuclear holocaust.”

“Fine.”

Donald Trump Drafts A Letter To North Korea

THE OVAL OFFICE – THIS MORNING

“…and this morning at nine o’clock Pyongyang time, the North Korean government sent out a communique calling Vice-President Pence–and I’m quoting–a dog that wishes to lick its own dick, but cannot due to the smallness of the dick. The translators said that was as close as they could get to the meaning.”

“The Vice-President is being treated very unfairly. That’s funny, but very unfair. Write that line down. I’m gonna tweet it out about Hillary, who many people have told me has a dick. Probably why I beat her so badly in an Electoral College win that no one saw coming. I said I would win, but no one agreed with me, which is why there were so many spies in the campaign. Lot of spies!”

“Mr. President–”

“Y’know what? I can’t look at the mustache, Bolton. Turn around. Face the wall.”

BELLIGERENT, HIRSUTE MAN TURNING TOWARDS THE WALL NOISE

“Better. Clean-shaven! All my life, even though I could grow maybe the greatest, thickest beards that anyone’s ever seen. Sylvester Stallone, who is a good friend, he always says that. ‘Mr. Trump, I would love to see you with a beard and I know that it would be spectacular.’ He says that, and he was Rambo. Bolty, you know Rambo?”

“Yes, I know–”

“Vietnam, Afghanistan. Rambo goes and wins. Got the machine gun, shirt off, the whole thing. Very strong. How many Rambos do we have in the military? Do we have a Rambo brigade?”

“I don’t think we–”

“I’m gonna cancel! I was gonna do it, and everyone knows it, because we are being treated very rough. Very rough, and we’re gonna walk away. I knew I was gonna cancel before I did, but now I am. Cancel!”

“Sir, maybe you–”

“Bolton, out! Get out. I need my General. Where’s my General?”

“Here.”

“General?”

“I’ve been in the room for 90 minutes, sir.”

“General?”

“You’re looking in your desk drawer, Mr. President. I’m too big to–”

“General?”

“Oh, there you are.”

“Yes, sir?”

“I knew where you were. General, I think Bolton’s mustache is a spy.”

“I would have to disagree, sir.”

“Sent by Obama! He still runs the FBI and he’s sending mustache-spies after me.”

“There’s no such thing as a mustache-spy, sir.”

“I canceled! Canceled, done, we’re not doing that. The North Korea thing, not gonna do it. Canceled.”

“Yes, sir. I was sitting six feet away from you when you did it.”

“We should tweet this out.”

ILL-FITTING SUIT POCKET-PATTING NOISE

“I left my phone at Burger King.”

“Oh, God.”

“It’s okay. They’ll hold it for me. They know me there. Not blacks! Mostly Puerto Ricans at the Burger King I like, and that’s weird. Burger King is irresistible to blacks. Most people think Popeye’s because of the fried chicken, but blacks love Burger King. Not too many at the one I go to, though. Right amount. Just the right amount of blacks.”

“I’ll send the Secret Service to get your phone.”

“And a Whopper. Make it two. One for you.”

“No, thank you, sir.”

“French toast sticks?”

“No.”

“Get me French toast sticks. Extra syrup packets. Make sure they look in the bag and count the syrup! They try to jew you out of your syrup. Okay, we’ll just have to use your phone.”

“My phone doesn’t have Twitter, sir. Why don’t we write a letter?”

PAD BEING PRODUCED NOISE

“Letter, excellent. Like back in the old days. Obama never sent letters. I’ve heard he was completely illiterate. Sean Hannity is sure of it. He has videotape of Obama trying to read and he just can’t do it. Not a bright man. We should say something about the Mexicans in the letter. They’re pouring in. Pouring. Buses and buses of these animals, and all of them rape. 91% of Mexicans rape, General. Can you believe that? Big on rape, the Mexicans.”

“Sir, we should try to keep the letter to one topic.”

“Which is?”

“North Korea, sir.”

“I canceled!”

“Okay, let’s just get started. How about ‘Dear President Kim.'”

“Too casual. Y’know, this is why I’m President and you’re General. Although I could have been a great, great general. The guns, the uniforms, all of that. I would have been the top soldier, I think and many people agree with that. Address it to Your Galactic Omniprescence; First in War, Love, and Golf; Stallion of the Heavenly Grasslands; Installer of Water Parks, and Nemesis of Death.

“I’m gonna shave that down a bit.”

“Sure, great, whatever. Finesse it. Okay, write this down: You have been very, very unfair to me and not lived up to your side of the bargain, which was to get rid of all your nuclear weapons without us giving you anything, which I know you agreed to because all the Friends on Fox & Friends nodded when I said that you did when I called in the other day and got them the best ratings. When Trump calls in, the ratings are through the roof, right through the roof, and later the Friends call me and they thank me and that’s a huge, huge compliment to me, I think. You got that?”

“Most of it.”

“Okay, I got more. Little Fatty Chopsticks, we have the most deadly, beautiful nuclear weapons in the world. They are so shiny and I hope that we never have to shoot them at you, even though we would definitely hit you because you’re such a good target because you’re so fat. That’s good. You write that down, General?”

“Mm-hmm.”

“Is my Whopper here yet?”

“Let’s just push through, sir.”

“Sure, sure, letter, okay. You wanna run this by Lou Dobbs? I could put him on speaker.”

“No, sir.”

“Okay, here’s more: It is so sad that you have thrown away this wonderful chance at peace that I brought you, and you owe me $3 million for the commemorative coins.”

“Got it. I’ll polish it up and release it after we tell our embassies.”

“No, no, just release it. Have it be a surprise. Diplomacy is all about surprises.”

“Yes, sir.”

“General?”

“I’ll check on the French toast sticks, sir.”

“Great, great, perfect, great.”
