Comedian Heywood Banks, a staple of Bob and Tom's radio extravaganza, came up with the song Big Butter Jesus after seeing it on the highway near Cincinnati. Go here and redeem yourself!!!

My scariest halloween story post from October 2004

The story is completely true ... dun dun dun.
My scariest halloween was when I was 12 years old and the last time I went out trick or treating.
Wesley and I started out together but after going down Quinkert and Park we decided to split up, he wanted to go down Ruthdale and Kelly, while I wanted to go down Common Road and Eastland.
Ruthdale and Kelly were part of our subdivision and there were a lot of houses, but that also meant a lot of kids and the chance that the houses had already run out of candy.
Common Road and Eastland were streets that bordered our subdivision where there were fewer, but nicer houses increasing your chances of getting better candy. The down side was there was a lot of traffic and the streets were both dark and scary at night.
I went down Common Road first and it was good. I ran into a lot of friends and made a pretty good haul, and then I cut over to Eastland.
It was getting pretty late, I guess it must have been about eight thirty and a lot of the houses on Eastland had already turned their porchlights off, but there were still a few lights on and damned if I was going to waste my last trick or treating night.
Oh yeah, I guess I should have told you what I dressed up as.
Umm, well you see, I had a mother and two sisters and ...
Yeah, I dressed up like a girl.
Dress, hat, make-up, the whole nine yards.
I feel such shame relating this now some forty years later.
You've seen pictures of me at that age, I looked a little fey on the best of days.
It got to be a drag, no pun intended, when I had to take off my hat and show off my brushcut to prove that I was really a guy.
So, I'm walking down Eastland, and there is this house back off the street maybe a couple of hundred feet. The house was dark, but they did have a red porch light on so I went up and gave it a shot.
I yelled out "trick or treat" and the door creaked open slightly and this guy dressed like the devil stuck his head out.
It freaked me a little bit. He was wearing some kind of red leotard outfit complete with horns and tail and an evil little devil mustache, and don't forget that the house was dark!
In a real low spooky voice he said that I really didn't deserve any candy because I didn't dress up, then I said "hey, I'm a guy" and took off my hat.
He got an evil gleam in his eye and sort of looked around and said "ok, ok, ok, the candy is in the kitchen, come on inside and wait while I get if for you."
Duhhhhhhh, I may have fallen off the pumpkin truck but I hadn't fallen off it the night before.
I made some excuse like I had to get home and get my sister's clothes back to her or something.
He sounded disappointed and tried to coax me in ...
I said I really had to get going.
He told me it would only take a minute and then he opened the door and grabbed my arm.
Man, was I scared, I didn't know whether to faint or kick him in the balls.
I broke loose started running away and with a voice choked with false bravado I called him a dumb stupid queer.
I didn't stop running till I was just a couple houses from home.
But I didn't tell my parents, I didn't tell anybody.
In fact this is the first time that I have told anybody about ...
dun dun dun

Sonnets For Inanimate Objects

Once again I horked an idea from Shakespeare.
Find something you love that is otherwise an "everyday" object and write something lusty, steaming, and dripping of RW...BS class.

Here's mine:

PepsiCola is my mistress
She is a cold bitch
Bubbling under glass
Percolating in plastic
Push her button she comes running
Feed my caffiene need
Sparkling in blue and red
An icy jolt to my head
She'll be yours for a dollar
Gas station or grocery store
Flash the cash and she's yours for sure
When she's gone I feel empty
Recycled for deposit money
And we dance again

That's a whole lot of me

Rebel Leady Boy's 1st Concert

Response to JohnnyC's post
RE: "Reflect on your first concert if you remember it at all"


I went to my first concert at age 16 with Duane A. It was Ozzy Osbourne's Ultimate Sin tour (I think). But the best part was that Metallica was the opening band and this was right when Master of Puppets just came out and Cliff Burton was still alive.

I snuck a Kodak disc camera into the show in the crotch of my pants (a tradition that I would keep throughout my high school years). We ran into T. Timms and Yoder there and we met some girls from Ohio.

It was during a hot summer and people in front of the stage were passing out from heat stroke, so Ozzy brought out a water hose sprayed the crowd down.

Afterwards, T. Timms and I saw a guy freaking out without a shirt on. He was fighting 3 cops and they had to electrocute him with an early model stun gun.

T. Timms took pictures of the guy being electrocuted by the police, then one of them said, "Hey!" and we ran away into the crowd.

After the concert, I think we might have gone to Arby's, but I'm not sure. That may have been a tradition that started in later years. I remember that, for some reason, we would always go to Arby's after concerts. It must've been close by.

Metallica was way better than Ozzy.

KISS This!!!


This will become sort of a dual post from me and Jonnie, if he remembers the concert...

I was at the Evil Empire today and this CD was in the bins at the front of the store...sort of the "discount" bin. Seeing as I have most of the "good" Kiss CDs: Alive, Alive II, Asylum, and Greatest Kiss, I didn't think this would have anything I didn't have on it. Well, it does. So for $7.50 I grabbed it. Why?? Because, #1, it has "I Love It Loud" and "All Hell's Breaking Loose" on it, but here's the important part...

It will be 20 years ago this December (Dec. 26th to be exact) that I went to my first concert. Kiss with special guest Ted Nugent. For a "just coming into metal" punk like myself, seeing first Sweaty Ted destroy the stage with his 500 miles an hour fretwork, not to mention the ladies bringing guitars and beverages to him on stage, followed by the ALMIGHTY KISS!!! The thing that sticks in my mind about this show was that, since Christmas Day was the day before, Kiss came out for the first encore and did an a capella version of "White Christmas" followed by "La Bamba" with Gene singing it. (Sidebar: when the song was done, Paul got on the mic and axed Gene where he learned Spanish...Gene answered "at the Hotel Catalina from some bitch named Juanita!!" When you're 16 and a moron like me, you'll remember it for a LONG time!!)

Jonnie must now see if he remembers that show...I remember Kilby and Duane A. and Marken (and Paul Fleck) were there...myself and some of my "former associates" met up with this motley band at the door and we damn near broke it down trying to get in!!! Reflect on your first concert if you remember it at all...

Juan Bodley Asks For Your Time...

There was a great story on ABC News yesterday about the aftereffects of childhood cancers on the survivors. Being that I am one, if you want to see what it's like, go to Juan Bodley's Hell and check the link I have there.

I can make fun of the eye when it's funny, but this is my everyday life. When you wonder why I'm quick to get down on myself this might explain some of it.

Hey, belle made a post on her blog!!!

Ten things that belle hates

1. The Little Mermaid.
2. When her eyes start bleeding for no reason.
3. The toaster that hides under her bed.
4. People who don't share their crystal meth.
5. The fact that Star Jones is obsessed with me.
6. Oksana Baiul, and the rest of the commie bastard figure skating axis of evil.
7. When her eyes stop bleeding for no reason.
8. Ham, and ham by products.
9. That Vili Fualaau dumped her for Mary Kay Letourneau. (Vili, didn't I give you everything, why, why, why?)
10. That she never has a quarter when she really needs it.

Jonnie, Back In The Day...Or Night...


Back when we were just a couple of jokers in Shitsville, Indiana, next door to Podunk, Illinois, we used to go get our swerve on at a fine young gentlemen's establishment called Deja Vu. Home of 50 beautiful girls and 3 ugly ones. I always got the ugly ones.

Now Sandra your mission is to get Jonnie to admit he ever really went there.
And then you post his response.

Your RW...BS Messiah (On A Bad Day...)


OK Boz and Belle, you were wondering on the Zonk if I bleed in both eyes...
On this day I think I came close.

This is circa 2003, about a week after cheekbone implantation. (My surgeon used a new synthetic bone material to replace the plastic cheek implants that failed. The synthetic is still holding, praise Jesus.)

The purple markings, btw, are marker, not tattoos. That's the outline of where the syntha-bone was supposed to go. Another btw, costs about $14,500 to have this done. In Michigan of all places. Damn Michigan...

The Nose Knows

I just posted on The 99 Cent Blog about my new local 99 Cent store(s).

Another thing I picked up there was this deck of Dating for Dummies cards:

I think the idea is to bring them on a date and pull one out as a conversation starter when you can't think of anything else to say. In all liklihood though, the only conversation that was started was probably, "Why are you carrying Dating for Dummies cards with you on our date"? I don't think the Dating for Dummies card deck sold very well through regular retail outlets because the 99 Cent Store has a ton of them.

I am glad my dating days are over. They sucked.

I will now post a random Dating for Dummies card:
Is your date telling the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth? The nose knows. Peple who are lying undergo some biological changes. Under stress, the nose becomes engorged with blood and starts to tickle, so liars tend to rub their noses when telling a fib. This phenomenon is called the "Pinocchio Syndrome".
Describe a time when you lied to your date, or your date lied to you. Did your nose give you away?
All blog members are expected to respond promptly and courteously.
