and here's something
weird: my place
in Humor 3-space

Thursday, November 20, 2003
 
Claudia is supposedly out on the road somewhere, and still she updates more often than I do. I'd say she put me to shame, but I actually think the road trip is just a stunt, a made-up fairy tale that her doctors are willing to tolerate because it might help her get released from the looney clinic earlier if she "takes a trip" from her psychosis, represented here either by Chicago, her "job," or both.
     When I sent her an email wishing her a swift recovery, she claimed to be having head pains, which usually means she's hung over. I wonder if, in some phildickian warping of her perceptions, her "hangovers" are actually moments of clarity between shots of thorazine -- moments when she can actually perceive the padded walls around her -- but once she gets her meds she immediately represses the true vision and replaces it with a memory of drinking the night before?
     Whatever. The last time I had a hangover was something like four years ago, on a bizarre trip back to my college to watch some younger friends graduate. I took a nostalgic stroll to my old house (which my housemates christened "Dollywood," though I wanted to name it "Doogie House, MD") to find a friend I'll call J.Crew, who gave me a hug and a bottle of Belvedere. He introduced me to his girlfriend Zoots, and together they gave me ego-boosting compliments on my album, which I later realized was meant to misdirect my attention from the fact that my tumbler never ran out of liquor. And damn, that Belvedere went down as smooth as a buttered tadpole.
     I vaguely remember a party later, but I vividly remember the bathroom in the party's house. I think I spent three hours in there, hugging all three of its porcelain residents, with the kind of hangover you get when you forget to pass out first. After a while, people stopped trying to get me to move from the bathroom and just treated me like a moaning, sweating piece of furniture. Some people would chat with me as they peed, some would ask me to hold their Solo cups, which had the same result as sticking their fingers down my throat. Oh man.
      Hard times on expensive vodka. Later, after I had finally fallen asleep in the bed of some nice girl who lived at the house (she stayed at her boyfriend's place that night), I detected movement in the bed, somewhere behind my clammy back. Seems J.Crew and Zoots were feeling amorous but didn't have the energy to walk the two blocks back home. They unapologetically fucked their drunken faces off. Well, I couldn't really complain. It wasn't my bed, after all. Plus I literally couldn't complain, because by that point I was intellectually and functionally indistinguishable from a cup of primordial mud. Can you dig it, kids? Booze sucks. Drink up!

DISALLOWED FOREVER

"I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you!"
-
"from whence"
-
"...the exception that proves the rule"
-
any use of the question "spit or swallow?"
-
the phrase "drop trou"
-
fake-o reviewer verbs:
"penned" for wrote
"helmed" for directed
"lensed" for whatever
-
"expat"
-
the euphemism
"passed away"
-
pronouncing merci beaucoup as "mercy buckets!"
(see also: "grassy-ass!")



PET PEEVES

"confinscated"
-
trying children "as adults"
-
"drownded"
-
misuse of reflexive pronouns, as when someone says "Please talk to Bob or myself." Come on people now. "Myself" is not just a fancy version of "me"! LEARN IT.
-
tattoos in the Courier font
-
any use of Comic Sans
