FIVE FUTURISTIC INVENTIONS
WE THOUGHT WOULD BE COMMONPLACE BY NOW BUT AREN'T, AND THE REASONS
WHY
1. Video phones (no one
wants to listen to businessmen, let alone look at them)
2. Hovercars (McDonald'sSuper-size
drink cups, when thrown from a great height, can kill)
3. Interstellar travel
(most alien worlds turn out to be very similar to Bloomington,
IN)
4. Laser guns (doesn't
rhyme with as many things as 'Glock')
5. Robots (third world
children work just as well and aren't as expensive to produce)
THE GREAT CONFLICTS
IN RAP MUSIC
1. Man vs. bitches
2. Man vs. punks
3. Man vs. suckas
4. Man vs. the Man
5. Man vs. mic
THINGS THAT, UPON REFLECTION,
JESUS HAS DECIDED THAT HE IS NOT WILLING TO FORGIVE
1. The cancellation of
"Twin Peaks"
2. The 1986 World Series
3. The career of Pauly
Shore
4. Showgirls
5. Being nailed to a goddamn
cross to fucking die
DEMANDS OF STORMTROOPERS
LOCAL 501
1. Change name to "Deathtroopers"
so as not to be confused with Nazi stormtroopers
2. Uniform redesign in
summer months
3. Responsibility of trash
compactor cleaning to be given to Death Star maintenance workers
4. Clarification on which,
exactly, are the droids we're after
5. Increased funding for
target practice
IT, THE LIVING COLOSSUS'
DATING TIPS
1. Don't get all self-involved.
Women aren't impressed by your title. Just introduce yourself
as "It", not "It, the Living Colossus". Only
tell her you're a living colossus if she asks what you do for
a living.
2. Don't get all hung
up on the past. If she asks about your past as an awesome Communist
symbol of the majesty of the proletariat, just laugh it off as
a crazy idea you got caught up in as an undergrad. Say you used
to have a Che poster, too.
3. Everybody knows that
you're possessed by the consciousness of a megalomaniacal alien
overlord from the planet Kigor. But you don't have to say
that you're possessed by the consciousness of a megalomaniacal
alien overlord from the planet Kigor. Tell them you're "goal-oriented".
4. If she asks about Tony
Isabella, say you don't know him.
5. Don't say: "Run
from me now, humans! I'll crush you! I'll crush
you all!". Do say: "You look beautiful. How do
you feel about sushi?"
