Interview of Brewster Butler

In his first interview after coming out of the closet, Brewster Butler who despite his sexuality is still an the same errotic adventurer sits down with me for an exclusive heart to heart in his lavish leather manshion.
Tommy: Hey brew brew why don't you have a seat?
Brewster: Okay
T: So what's this new album about?
B: it's entitled hitting people with pillows, the single is I wanna have a snowball fight
T: What's your favorite emotion?
B: I love being in love lawl!
T: Why is it your favorite?
B: because it brings me closer to Jesus.
T: What's your guilty pleasure?
B: I like reading twilight novels and then renacting them with land before time puppets and myself I'm ALWAYS Bella. He cant help but sympathize with her. I mean shit he's ridiculously clumsy and has brown hair as well. yours?
T:rubbing ma nipples. Tell me about a time you were happy.
B: that's all the time. but seriously Tom Tom, back in November 1993 I was at this dance party one night with a bunch of friends because shit I love to DANCE, but only with guys, I can't dance with girls. The mere THOUGHT of dancing with girls is just stomach churning. But in any case everything was cool, I danced with my friend Guido some guy who is a DIRTY dancer. But then I started dancing with this other guy. I mean I'd only ever talked to him a few times. Like three. But shit we danced, we DANCED and then oh hey we made out a lot too. And by a lot I mean A LOT. I never saw him again but it was a good night! What makes you happy?
T: okey dokey, I'm happy when I sniff glue then go to see you! Who would you rather do Miley Cyrus, Mathew Broddrick, or Micheal Buckley?
B: Mathew Broddrick
T: Crunchy or creamy peanut butter?
B: I fucking hate peanut butter!
T: why?
B: It is terribleness times nine thousand
T: WHAT NINE THOUSAND!?!?!!?
B: It smells putrid, god fucking awful. In kindergarden, Some one threw up in my peanut butter sandwhich when I wasn't looking and actualy made it taste BETTER.
T: Was that a positive experience for you?
B: no dipshit it was not
T: What helps you remember things? Any tips or tricks for the struggling student?
B: I Hide things in small color coded crevices such as as the space between the bathroom counter and the small trash bin. Organization is good.
T: Drug of choice, excluding life.
B: I've taken pretty much every drug and I have to tell you, I'm not too keen on any of them anymore. I mean nothing gave me any englightenment or life changing experiences. Oh but shit, my wardrobe improved. Any time I got high or was trashed off my ass on anything I went and bought some nice ass designer shoes. So I've got a pretty fucking sweet wardrobe now thanks to drugs.
T: What's your favorite Cliche?
B: a Penny saved is a penny Earned.
T: well okay then that just about wraps everything up. Looks like the syanide I gave you is starting to kick in.
B: WHAT THE HELL YOU BAST-
T: tune in next time when I go face to face with the question puzzling modern man: Prada or Guiche?
I walk out helping myself to any valuables. Brewster's corpse is flicking me off the whole time.

SPD Review

After showing a coworker the SPD sites (mainpage, myspace, etc) this was the review he gave:

"Fun stuff - It's like a home brew combination of King Missle, Joe Christmas, Dalek, I Love You, and Crispy Ambulance with Mad Magazine, or a writer for Adult Swim (Cartoon Network) supplying the lyrics. Thanks for passing it on!"

This seems to be the most positive and well informed SPD review ever, at least that wasn't churned out by our propaganda machine.

Megaman X is a Metaphor

I'm sure you are all aware Barrack Obama is the new united States President. I think that Capcom predicted Obama's victory and put it into game form.

Okay, for example, Megaman X is a Maverick hunter. His main color is blue(democrat), however, like any good modern politician he can change his color to green, black, pink, red (ironically), black, and white. Basically Megaman X and Barrack Obama have the ability to "change" their colors to fit the situation.

The more interesting example is Sigma (Aka John Mcain). Sigma is an ancient robot who is balding and calls himself a Maverick. He lacks the ability to shift his colors and sticks pretty much to the same habits every game (also he wears a red cape). He always has 8 Mavericks to back him up, he always fights with a melee weapon stubbornly adhering to tradition completely ignoring the available super-futuristic firearms, and he always has a hidden fortress in some barren locale. John Mcain picked a running mate from Alaska (which has a similar climate to the frozen fortress from megaman X2), he has a stubborn streak where he repeats favorite little catch phrases over and over, and he sticks to tradition.

Chill penguin is Joe Biden. Peguins have notorious potty mouths, and chill is an old English euphemish for drunken. Basically, Joe Biden says whatever the fuck he wants making him possible the biggest Maverick out of anyone...

Zero is Sarah Palin/Jesus. Zero has long hair and armor decked in red and fights with a traditonal weapon, a sword. Zero has this peculiar ability to rise back up from the dead (he does it just about every frikin game). Zero is the original maverick, he is the first reploid to transmit the Maverick Virus. However, Zero is such a Maverick that he joined Megaman's side just to buck what everyone thought he would do. Due to his long hair people often mistake Zero for a girl making it difficult to discern his sex. Sarah Palin is a girl and Jesus is an extension of God who is essentially genderless (side note: HOW THE HELL DO ROBOTS HAVE GENDER??)

In short based off the games I predict that Sarah Palin will join the Obama's cabinet and Obama will defeat Mcain and his 8 maverick robot pals for each year of his presidency equaling the 8 megaman X games (not counting spin offs and disowning number 6 which was an abomination) hence Obama will get elected, based on the prophecy of these games, for a second term. Discuss contemplate and enjoy. I'm gonna go hunt for Mavericks in Alaska.

Purple Turkeys: My Anti-Drug

Hello everyone! I'm very happy to be here tonight at Grove Park High School. Go Timid Squids! And I have an important story to tell you about a dark time for my band: Shadow Puppet Disco. Back in the mid-80s, after SPD had achieved world-wide disinterest with the release of our first album, Sewerside Suicide, we were on top of the world and partying every night with groupies and accountants. But slowly my rockstar lifestyle spiraled out of Bolivia and made me unable to play my instruments or sing or get it up. You see, I was sniffing upwards of 20 Bounty Dryer sheets covered in Elmer's glue everyday during that time. I nearly lost my band, my cat, my moped, my lawnmower, my tapeworm farm, my chain of NASCAR-themed seafood restaurants and my dignity, until one faithful day I made a discovery that would save my life.

Well, just when things seemed like they couldn't get any worse, this commercial single-footedly helped me overcome my Elmer's glue and Bounce dryer sheet addiction:



After watching this commercial with my cat, Mister Fluffy McFluffyson, I realized I never needed to use drugs again, because this commercial gave me the same high, the same creativity spark and the same anal leakage of glue and dryer sheets, but without the undesirable side effects. Soon enough, I was bringing groupies and their pets over to watch this commercial on repeat and we had a great time, without drugs. After years of unsuccessful substance abuse treatment and in-patient hospital stays and polar bear wrestling matches, we had discovered that getting high was dumb and this cat food commercial was way more fun.

And our band got back on track too. We released a new album to fantastic critical disregard. Once again we were on top of the world and this time without drugs. So, boys and girls, remember drugs will get you nowhere, but purple turkeys will save your soul. Also, if you encounter the Yeti in a dark Winnipeg alley, ask your grandmother to give it a cracker out of her purse and then it will follow you.

Modern Deconstructionalist Murder Mystery

Here's a story I "wrote" for my German class. By "wrote" I mean I took a text in German and put it into a terrible German-to-English translation site and then posted the results. I cracked up when I read it, but that may just be due to lack of sleep. Here you go:

The motorcycle route

Hello, colleague, how was in holidays? upper inspector Eichhorn welcomes Julia Falk with a friendly handshake. hopefully it is you not exactly the same been issued like the family Andres at the flower way. as of their journey returned, found it a thoroughly robbed house. upper inspector Eichhorn reaches for a bundle documents. well, if you could further pursue equal case…? We already heard most adjacents resident at the flower way. To ask there still another pair of pensioners, family guard in the house number 7, would be and their young subtenant Heinz Hurtig. Julia Falk presses for the first time the button over the plaque Heinz Hurtig. Strangely that it does not open. It saw nevertheless straight evenly still another young man at the window above standing. Julia vibrated surprises the head. It turns and lets its view over the abandoned yard and the sparkle-brand-new motorcycle under the garage cantilever roof slab curve.

To a few minutes later Julia still another mark rings. A noise is to be heard from inside to. Well finally, that lasted however for a long time! Heinz Hurtig looks by the door gap. good day, Mr. Hurtig. Julia Falk zückt their document of identification. I may clean-come one moment? I determine Andres because of the break-down at family. Only in the corridor Julia notices that Hurtigs arm lies thickly merge-acted in an arm loop. you had an accident? Heinz Hurtig nods. I took last week with my motorcycle a curve too fast. But I had still luck, I only the arm broke. Hurtigs kitchen Heinz Hurtig leads the Inspektorin into the kitchen. On the Küchentisch a plate with bacon and scrambled egg stands, beside it a cup with steaming hot coffee. I may offer also a cup coffee to you? no? No coffee? Now, which concerns the break-down, I came only the day before yesterday from my motorcycle route home, nothing saw and heard. And, sorry, if I need an alibi with my injured arm I no house to really rob had been able, not? life it alone here?, the Inspektorin asks. no, with Schnurrli, my tomcat. Heinz Hurtig grinst and points with the chin to the window windshield frame section, where a magnificent red cat stretches wohlig in the sun. I'm sorry, Mr. Hurtig, my Julia Falk essentially. you accompany me now on the presidency. With its alibi is not correct somewhat at all.

The end. I win.

Big Macs



I enjoy Big Macs. The world runs on the hard work of billions of Mcdonald's employees without whom NO BIG MACS would be possible!!! I am a big Big Mac FAN. I enjoy eating them and I like everything about them. They are tasty and delicious. The special sauce is indeed special. I once ate three Big Macs in one sitting. After I eat a Big Mac I always check to see if there's any left over sauce, lettuce or cheese in the little multiracial box. And for all the haters out there: I understand that you say Big Macs are unhealthy. To you I say I DONT GIVE A FUCK. Whenever a construction worker eats a Big Mac, he or she then spends about half an hour on the toilet. When I eat a Big Mac, I spend ZERO HOURS on the toilet. It all goes directly to my blood stream and energizes me with it's tasty goodness. When I think about Big Macs, I think HOLY SHIT THAT WAS GOOD, who's putting all the crack in the Big Macs? Where ever you go there you are and there's probably a Mcdonald's serving up some fresh baked Big Macs. I heard Miss Universe 2008 once ate a Big Mac and digested it in a series of moments. OH MAN!!! Big Macs are good for the soul!!! Where all the ladies at? At Mcy D's scarfin down some Big Macs, dumb ass. If it wasn't for Big Macs WWIII would have already happened. I don't know with what weapons WWIII will be fought but WWWIV will be fought with sticks and stones. This crisis can be averted if you give the soldiers BIG MACS. They will be happy and all will be quiet on the Western Front. Sadly, I haven't had a Big Mac since before Obama was elected. Hopefully, BO won't up the price by 50 cents. I understand that all of you haters think the president doesn't like Big Macs. Remember Bill Clinton? Hey yo. (I am from the future.)

This Commercial Sums Up My Religious Beliefs.



After the first few viewings of this commercial, I had so many questions. What are five questionable looking men doing in the back of a family's RV? Where is the RV going? Why does the man driving decide to strand four of the men in the middle of the desert? What kinda shit is Chad going to try now that he is in the back of the RV alone with that girl?

Then I realized some questions don't have answers; in fact some questions are simply not important. All along, I was asking myself the wrong questions about this Alltel commercial. A commercial does not have to make logical sense for you to believe that it is true; all it needs is one magic ingredient: faith.

Once I accepted into my heart that Chad was destined to be in the back of the RV with the family's pubescent daughter, that the other four men's purpose was to be stranded in the middle of the desert, it was like a huge burden had been lifted off my shoulders. Now I find comfort and safety in the fact that My Circle's unlimited plan is in control, that Chad, It's charismatic messiah and a hair-gel fanatic, will guide me through my struggles and triumphs, and that It's network, even though it is invisible to my eyes, will surround me at all times with the coverage I need.

Now, when I stumble, I have faith that the My Circle and Chad will offer me some kind words about Their unlimited plan, while pushing away the demons and their unsharable unlimited plans. Chad, I love you will all my heart because you died for my sins.

Poem

Here's a nice little poem I found of mine...

I tried my old habit again
I soared to high places again
the hum of the core,
the energy of the response,
the twinkle in the eye
the instant gratification-

-all awkwardly remind me
with a sudden break typical in rhetoric and rhythm
why I left in the first place...

Facebook Rant

I have a love hate relationship with facebook. At one point I can and keep in touch with tons of people I would not otherwise be able to. And on the other hand, Facebook and most of the people I know on Facebook in a very passive agressive way say "fuck you, I'm not wasting the energy to associate with you" or "I risk social bastardization talking to you etc" where at the same time they feel socially obligated to friend me so to be polite. Anything anyone says to you over facebook, generally may or may not have any meaning, but you can never tell for certain.

Por exemple, Someone you haven't seen in a long assed time messages you and wants to hang out.
Alright you were bored that weekend and had nothing going, but the thing is, do they really want to hang out, or do they just want to talk and have nothing to say? The lack of voice and the inflection makes it difficult to tell what the hell their true intent is. I mean even over I'm you kind of tell how someone's thinking by how quickily they respond and how long they spend typing vs. how long the message is, but on facebook you see nothing of the process it took the person to write their message. Some things, like hey how's it going or what's up, people say not out of politeness but out of habit. The irony is that when people say that in person and somewhat over the internet, they're saying hi and don't give actually give a shit about how your life is going at that point in time.

Another bit that drives me up a wall is how and when to respond to messages. Should you wait a bit and not look like a frikin low life stalker, should you respond immediately and catch while online, If you were offline and see it latter should you not respond or respond later. Okay here's an example of everything I'm talking about: Billy messages me and says "oh man it's been so long, we need to hang!" I've only talked to Billy twice before, he's an okay kid but we weren't really close. See if I respond immediately, I look like I was waiting for someone to message me since I have nothing going on, thus I'm a loser. I can wait a while to seem less desperate, then I'll look like I don't want to speak to him, thus looking like a dick. Or do I message back immediately thus looking like a stalker. In short, CALL ME or AIM ME instead of facebooking since then at the very least I can psyco analyse you more easily and I can judge the level of your sincerity. Here I'll post my cell number on here... (my aims already up)

The First Time I Heard Explosions In The Sky

Laying on the floor, "What is this?" I said, with eyes closed.
"Explosions in The Sky."
I lit another cigarette.
The music was mildly nostalgic and eerie. Sounded like a marching band trying to break its way out of purgatory by playing with as much emotion as possible.
There were about a dozen people lying in that room, most of which I had never met. I personally had taken about 5 hits from the bowl and I had a high tolerance. The other people must have been flying.
The lights were off and the glow in the dark stars were out. Everyone was quietly in their own heads probably feeling the music more than me. It was because of my immunity, that I actually remember this experience enough to write it down.
I remember watching this kid, who I hear is now dead, try to hide his own little private bowl, alone, in the middle of the bed.
I probably would have done the same but I had recently quit smoking pot.
I lit another cigarette.
I got bored of the trance and went down stairs. The mood quickly went from very high to very drunk.
After a couple beers, I was standing in the kitchen trying to talk to Jon, I noticed Scotty on the patio sharing a private bowl with a friend.
I sat with Scotty and his friend trying to be amiable, making small talk for a little while. Scotty wasn't in a charitable mood.
I went back inside to the party. I lit up a cigarette and once again, everyone yelled at me for ashing into the carpet.
By now these 2 middle aged men that had been sitting next door in the drive way came in to hit on the younger women.
I left the kitchen and went outside to call Matt.
"When are you coming?"
"I'll be there, I'll be there."
I lit another cigarette and just sat there alone.

The night ends with Peter finding me and telling me to got to sleep on the couch in the study. I laid there a while unable to fall asleep even though now there was no more music.
Some one slid open the door.
The sliding door closed loudly and then opened again.
All I had to do was open my eyes.

For most of my life, my friends have rolled their eyes at me, told me they were busy on the phone and left jars full of raccoon urine in my heating ducts. I thought I was destined to live a lonely life of stone soup making and stamp collecting, until I saw this ad for High Fructose Corn Syrup:



Now, I've realized if I make up my own scientific studies using your multi-million dollar funded research laboratory and then provide my findings in my usual aggressive, boastful manner, I can make friends like a factory! In fact, my new friend "Steve-mo-tron" and I are sitting her on our third Popsicle each and he now agrees with everything I say as long as I give him more sugar every 15 minutes. Thanks, High Fructose Corn Syrup!!!

Friendship: Fuck yeah!

Hey,

I think as a first post, I should talk about friendship. Friendship is the most powerful force in the universe. See you could go on a seesaw and have a great great time, but with friendship helping to push that seesaw up and down, you will have a blast. Friendship is extremely fun since anyone can participate and it's free fun. Now who can argue with that? Also friends help you out of tight spots. For example, I was sad since Sally said Santa stank. Billy told me that Santa just rolled in some flowers, and smelled all better. Thanks Billy!

Now I leave you with a question: When was a time the power friendship made a normally fun activity even better? Also when is a time a friend helped you out? (bonus points for answering both questions!!!!)
Test Post this is for all the ladies.
