Got you beat, Jeff. This weekend, I put fish down my pants while dancing to Jump In The Line, then I spanked my own ass with a flip-flop. Later on I received a basket of money from a penguin puppet.
I can't speak for Stuart, but yesterday I lost my street performing virginity. Stu and I, equipped with harmonicas, hopped in forcegravity friend Drew's car and hit the streets. Driving around playing harmonicas to Mystikal's "Shake That Ass" seemed to have caught the attention of a few girls in a car behind us. So, we pulled into a parking lot, jumped out of the car, ran up to the street (where a red light had stopped traffic), threw down a cowboy hat, and serenaded the lucky teenagers with our minstrels. A combination of Stu's Rod Stewart cover and my half-assed attempt at the Muffin Man earned us sixteen cents out of two different cars. I can now consider myself a street performer!
People often ask me,*1 "Judah, what is the secret of your success with women?", and I tell them: "Acrostics".
"Whoa," you say, and also, "back the truck up. You mean those dumb poems where every line starts with a letter in your name?" And yes, those are acrostics, but they are so, so much more. Allow me to support my claim with some unverified, anecdotal, and no, now that I think about it, let's call it "hypothetical" evidence.
Let's assume the following hypothetical, ca va dire not-real, scenario: There is a handsome and intelligent young man named Judah, who happens to have mastered the secret of acrostics, and who also happens to sit in the front row of the music lecture hall for a class of his. There is a pretty, no, charmante young lady named, oh, hypothetically, remember, Elizabeth**, who sits in the row behind him, and to the right, conveniently placed behind his right shoulder. How does he win her heart? By arranging his notes, which she could easily read, so that the first line of every word spells "ELIZABETH"**. It's tricky, and sometimes he might miss something the teacher said in the effort, but it's oh-so-rewarding. And if she's the kind who plays hard to get, he can always impress her further by tacking on "RULES". Because, hypothetically, she does.
Hypothetically.
Notes:
* - This never happens.
** - Dream on. 1 - "Are you looking for the mother load?"
Ok, everyone knows that before MC Hammer became an internationally acclaimed "Super-Dope Homeboy From The Oaktown," he was a batboy for my beloved Oakland Athletics. From there it was just a short step to the Chinese Typewriter, a huge mansion, financially suppporting your gigantic crew, and bankrupcy. So, with a view to financial stability in mind, I would like to announce my new job:
I am now Team FUN!'s batboy.
Yep, pretty soon now I'll be dancing my way to MTV fame and recording hip songs for the Addams Family Soundtrack.
But wait...... didn't Hammer go bankrupt? The answer is yes. But I have a plan. SHUN ALL THE LITTLE PEOPLE. So pretty soon I won't be talking to you guys any more, becuase you want to leech away my hard-earned profits. Maybe I'll send you a card at christmas or something.
(confidential to Adam... that package you're going to send... umm... I moved. My new address is 123 Fake St.)
OOH! How I look forward to Floyd's chocolate taste review.
And how I look forward to Swifty's gigantic head getting so big that his pencil neck can't support its weight and he eventually tips over due to an inability to maintain balance.
And how I look forward to nickd killing all liberals (including me!)
And how I look forward to the Playgirl layout of Peter. CENTERFOLD!!!!!!!
And, oh, how I look forward to seeing the Beatles in concert this summer!
And, yes, how I look forward to stealing Todd's couch for no good reason.
And, my oh my, how I look forward to sending Judah a nice little package with something in it. Here's a clue: It starts with an "A" and rhymes with "panthrax".
Most people, when they choose to place a hat upon their head, especially in the summertime when it is - as it is now - 85º Fahrenheit, choose to wear hats that "fit" their "heads." However, as my head is the relative size of a "fucking watermelon," it is not so easy to find hats that fit properly. To this end, I managed to obtain a hat which is bigger than it should be - oh, glorious irony - therefore making my head look, in theory, smaller.
The one drawback to this plan is that it becomes obvious that I am wearing a hat that is just way too fucking big to even exist. I'm noticing that small, lightweight objects are becoming attracted to it if I pass too closely by them, the innate gravity field of said hat being too strong for them to resist. Luckily, it's not one of those fucking Mad Hatter "4 Non Blondes" hat, but, like - imagine a huge Chupa Chup with my face on the front. And hair on it. Yeah.
My question is, am I being fashion-savvy? Or do I just look like a retard? I'm leaning towards both "savvy" and "ahead of my time," but I've already gotten comments leaning towards the latter option. Then again, this is a state school - I wouldn't imagine the elite in fashion hang around here much. Bitches don't respect the hat.
Some of you may be wondering why this site has seemed so...empty of late. Perhaps you conluded that we were simply overloaded with more important things to do. Foolish, foolish, you.
No, the real reason lies in my chocolate reviews, or lack of them. You see, this was apparently the only thing holding the site together. When I felt the novelty was going stale, I stopped production. Obviously, this has led to a TOTAL FUN! FAILURE.
Thus, next week I will bring back the chocolate tasting. Double-time.
There is a person that lives in my town you should all be aware of, and avoid at all costs. His name is "Splatterpaint". You see, splatterpaint goes in the lake with us when the waves are up (not by choice, mind you)
He pulls up in a splatterpainted Jeep Cherokee and grabs his splatterpainted board out of his splatterpainted board case. He then, honest to god, puts on his splatterpainted bathing suit and splatterpainted rash guard, and covers that in a splatterpainted wetsuit. The best part (and most 80's) is his laser cut. The area where sideburns usually go is shaved an inch above his ear! And he shaves his eyebrows! that is, lines in them like Vanilla Ice! There are two things which are too cool to be copied: Vanilla Ice and the song Surrender by Cheap Trick. The worst part, people, is that your tax money is paying his welfare checks to purchase splatterpainting and laser cuts! Try to not commit suicide.
I have a question for you all. What does the ITT in ITT Technical Institute stand for? Think about it. What could 2 more t's and an I stand for if not for technological or institute?
Adam, at what point did you believe that giving top secret information to the eater of the Gak was a good idea? Before, or after you sniffed those microwaved Gak fumes?
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have Disco Fever. I have to apply this warm cloth to head, turn on the Village People, and get down.
What do you think you're doing going off and telling everyone about our plan to blow up their computers? ESPECIALLY the exact time and day? Who do you think you are?
I thought we had a deal, missy! I didn't give you that ship-load of hungarian sailors dressed in night gowns to add to your collection, sweetheart! They were a bribe to keep this information on the DL, you catch my jive?
Fortunately, I have the smarts to change the code that will make our readers' computers blow up. No longer on Monday at 7:15. All I had to do is edit a couple of lines and presto! -- Tuesday at 7:15!
I thought it was in FUN!'s top-secret mission statement that we were supposed to hurt readers of this weblog? Why else would there be something in this page's code that causes their computers to explode At 7:15 on Monday?
Also, why do good things happen to good people? That seems terribly unfair.
Todd, let me tell you something about microwaving Gak that you may not have realized in all your years as "Microwaver of the Gak."
Microwaving Gak tends to release toxic fumes, kill you and your family (pets included), and eventually pretty much ruin your microwave for actually cooking.
Now, here at Team FUN! we have a large audience, with a variety of ages/ideologies/levels of intelligence represented. Please, if you're going to make lackadaisically false statements about the proper care and maintainance of Nickelodeon(TM) products, add a disclaimer.
Good day. I'm sure some of you noticed the apparent lack of posts between 16th and J.ames's last missive, and I thank you for your concern and enthusiasm for little Team FUN!. Unfortunately, we live in a big wide world of technology that doesn't always work without a hitch, even at a superflute organization like this one. Let me tell you briefly about my search for the error that left us unable to bring you the usual half-assed competence you've come to expect.
Everything went normal on the 16th, but on the 17th, Team FUN! was completely blanked. I asked myself if there was any signifigance to the date, as I often do, being a student of numerology (and did you know that the mayans had this amazing calendar and that the world is due to end in blah blah blah blah blah). At first glance, April 17th seems to have no special signifigance, but soon two factors came to my attention. During the early days of April, we experienced the miracle that is daylight savings time, obediantly moving our clocks forward an hour. Now, if the pitas.com computers were messed up, and not only moved it an hour back, but accidentally moved the clocks a whole MONTH back, the date would have been March 17th: to wit, St. Patrick's day, whereupon the computers would have become inebriated and perhaps, in all the confusion, destroyed our carefully crafted posts.
I ruled that out pretty quickly on the grounds that it was a complete load of wank, and set about looking for another answer. I figured that computers were fallible, and perhaps the pitas.com computers were simply down for those three days. However, repeated test posts at my own pita went off without a hitch, and I was back to square one.
Then, in a dream, a witch, who spoke like my dead grandmother, that is to say in french, told me that if I wanted to solve this mystery I needed to look no further than 'the tail that wags the dog.' I came away from the experience with two thoughts: One, that I should never eat marshmallow creme sandwiches and then fall asleep in the sun, and two, that the culprit was none other than Team FUN!'s resident tail wagger, Adam Zavala
Might as well confess now, Adam, the cold hand of science has pointed its bony finger straight at you.
J.onah and I drove out to his family's cottage tonight and sat on the dock and drank cheap gas station coffee while munching on oh-so-tasty Salt & Vinegar potato chips. Much love to the chips, the dock, and the cheap coffee. We meandereed along the paths of memories and laughed at jokes old and new, and especially at ourselves.
We also laughed at a guy named Rob. Why did we laugh at Rob? What did Rob do to deserve our derisive guffaws? Well... [que flashback]
So... I'm following Rob into the garage today, just minding my own business and humming Weezer. Suddenly, Rob cries out in pain and grabs his left ear. He then yells, "son of a bitch! what the hell!?" When I get a closer look, Rob's ear is bright red, and he's violently flailing a rake around, as though trying to take his pain out on it.
I stood, quite puzzled, trying to decipher this strange outburst. Was it a schizophrenic fit? A telepathic attack? Commies? No... As the answer dawned on me I burst out into laughter and continued on with this laughter until I got a cramp and my eyes were watering.
Rob had stepped on the out-turned tines of a gardening rake and it had swung up, ala Home Alone, and whacked him on the ear. I still get a big stupid grin on my face and start chuckling when I think about it.
My generous webmaster and provider of free, unlimited space and bandwith has apparently cut the cable to his machine and gone into hiding. I suspect he's on the run from some Columbian drug czar for who knows what.
I have trust, however, that he will [eventually] return, at which point nickd.org and thirtyfour.org, among others, will resume service. Attempts to contact him thus far have proved unsuccessful.
On a lighter note, yee-haw!
With no disrespect to the Gak, I have an even greater mystery on my hands. According to my site stats, this image was accessed an amazing 336 times from April 1 - April 14.
I want the guilty party to step forward and identify himself this instant.
That's right, Todd. Situational comedy is the pinacle of entertainment.
Take yesterday for example. Being in Seattle without a car this past week has neccesitated extensive use of the regional transportation system-the dreaded Seattle buslines. Of course, it's more the certifiably crazy passengers that are the actual source of dread.
Anyway, on this particular day I was sitting quietly across from about four other people as the bus was pulling to a stop. The doors were open and a single person was already in the process of disembarking before the bus had completely stopped, and suddenly a single, slightly bruised tomato rolled down the middle of the aisle, and as the eyes of five pasengers, including mine, watched, the courageous salad fixing followed the man right outside the door, all very deliberately.
The doors then closed, and the bus pulled away, sans tomato. All five of us strained to look outside the grimy windows to find out what had become of the tomato, but when we couldn't catch a glimpse of him, we looked at each other rather wide-eyed for about two seconds and then quickly became incapacitated with laughter. All except the bitter man in the torn coat. He just sort of glared at us.
The bus driver, not having seen a thing, was very confused. He probably thought his clever bumpersticker, which read 'Ladies Ride For Half Price,' had just caught on. You see, it actually has two meanings.
So last night was the final dress rehearsal for the production of The Sound Of Music that I'm teching. There was an audience.
During one of the scene changes, the assistant stage manager brings out a small loveseat. One of the actors assisting in the change, a woman playing a nun, sees where he has placed it and shifts its position slightly. The assistant stage manager sees this, and after the nun exits, he moves it back. He then exits.
The nun re-enters and moves it back.
The audience laughs harder than they have at any of the funny lines in the show.
Krissy. ...and who's that guy with the website that dances? You know, like every week or something...
Peter. Adam?
Krissy. Yeah, him. Is he gay?
At this point I broke into laughter which lasted approximately 45 minutes.
Krissy. Don't laugh! You've seen them too - the way he dances, and with those other guys, I mean from a candid person's point of view... and that music! My God!
Everyone knows that Adam has a directory called /hot-sex which is entirely composed of pictures of nickd... But not everyone knows that the demands on this directory are beginning to overload his servers. To this end I propose the Official Unofficial /hot-sex Mirror Project. "How do I participate?" I'm very glad you asked. Just devote a small portion of your own webspace (and really, isn't it small, compared to the joy that is /hot-sex) to mirroring the content of Adam's /hot-sex directory. For example, if I was motivated enough to do it, I would set up a directory at http://mmright.com/gpn/hot-sex, and copy all of the pictures from Adam's server to mine!
Now that you know how to do it, get out there and MIRROR!
It is official. I am completely without the presence of mind to handle simple, non-complex tasks. Like cooking. Or doing laundry.
In a mere two days I have destroyed some of my favorite clothes. Either by shrinking them into oblivion or by staining them horribly with an ink pen in the dryer.
I have also attempted to cook an oven mitt at 425º fahrenheit. I failed.
toddlikesmonkeys: adam has a directory called hotsex
toddlikesmonkeys: FULL OF NICKD PIX
toddlikesmonkeys: ?!
the never engine: HAAHAHAHAHA
the never engine: YES!!!

toddlikesmonkeys: just from looking at it
toddlikesmonkeys: is fucking scary
I'll have to find a new hobby to replace spearing fish for fun...perhaps I'll take up chainsaw massacres?
In all seriousness, though, I'm here tonight to discuss an issue that is very near and dear to my heart: Women's Health. In today's fast-paced world, things change very quickly. Medical technology changes daily, and we must remain informed.
This week in Women's Health: My mother is getting less-sick. (not mentally, she still enjoys a good ax-murder...but physically, yes.) At the moment, she is getting over a mild cough. Not all women share her health problems, though. My friend Erika, for example, is coming down with bronchitis. I'm completely healthy, but I consider myself a "girl" rather than a "woman"...two completely different things. I also have a female friend who has a pulled muscle.
The one you call 'Levine' be receiving his punishment. He art being pressed as we speak. He be speaking some nonsense about Black and White. Beware, ye other heathens. I do particularly keep mine eye on that boy who continues to shake his bottom. Methinks a powerful demon is loose in his pantaloons.
Adam, I hate to be the one to tell you this, but I'm in trouble. I used the Time Machine to investigate for myself the horrors of the Salem Witch Trials first-hand, but seems the Puritans don't take too kindly to strangers appearing magically in the center of their village in peculiar clothing and with a giant shiny box. They've captured me on three counts of heresy; heresy of thought, heresy of action, heresy of word and heresy of deed - four, four counts of heresy, and if you don't do something quick I fear they may break out the Comfy Chair.
Adam may hate me for this, but I really really need to post this link. It is, quite literally, the funniest thing I have ever seen online. It will make you different.
Today the fruit of choice is the mango. Consider the mango, if you will. Will you? Thank you. So round (I think), so sweet (maybe), so packed with seeds (if I remember correctly).
Yes indeed, the mango. And slippers are also nice.
Although already posted on my own site, I would still like to present to all of you here in the live studio audience, and to all of you tuning in at home....
I like to flatter myself that, in some ways at least, I have funk. But then I see something like this, and I know I am not even close to being one with the funk.
Even in my 'golden moments,' I am only partially along the path to absolute funk. Adam, a little help, guru?
We move our clocks forward an hour, the sun starts to shine a little brighter, birds start chirping, families are playing at the park, the Major League Baseball season starts....
and for some reason, this means that the Time Machine™ is no longer off limits? Jesus, Floyd! You need to be careful what buttons you press!
However... since it is Spring... and since I am the Dad here (Judah being my lovely wife.), I'm going to do something kind for you all.
I know you're all itching to jump in the time machine, especially for those of you who have never done it before... so here's what we're going to do: You are all allowed to use the Time Machine™ ONLY ONCE without any scolding. So... go ahead. Feel free to travel anywhere in history.. just make sure you tell us what you see. Oh.. and make sure that you come back. Or else I'll have to send Judah to find you. Trust me.. he'll find you. He found Alex, and he'll find you. So.. happy traveling!
The phone lines must be really bad between here and Salem, because Adam heard something completely different from what I heard.
phone rings
Adam: Hello?
Judah: Hey girlfriend!
Adam: Judah, why do you always call me when I'm raping a nun?
Judah: Nevermind, I have to tell you about this frantic whore that's looking for you, she looked desperate, kept saying something about the "biological father".
Adam: (interrupts) Judah! Shut up! I'm not doing this again!
Adam hangs up on Judah. Adam appears in court for a paternity suit; case dismissed on the grounds of impotence.
Adam: Hello?
Judah: HEY, GIRLFRIEND!
Adam: Judah, why do you always call me when I'm archiving FUN!?
Judah: Nevermind, I have to tell you about this fabric store that I...
Adam: Judah! Shut up! I'm not doing this again!
Adam hangs up on Judah. Judah cries like a little girl.
And so boys and girls, It is April Fool's day. Unfortunately, I've been too busy counting all of my money and driving my fast expensive cars to fool any foolish fools today. But I'm sure that some of you common folk had yourselves a few laughs engaging in degenerate activities.
