Yes, sock puppets are evil, but...

they’re the true backbone of our economy today.

Without sock puppets doing all the work that illegal immigrants used to do, our nation would collapse, and we would be forced to eat each other for food on a regular basis,

whereas, the sock puppets only eat us for food every rare once in a while.

Statistically, I have to be pro-puppet, although surely I would not allow one of THEM into my home or place of business.

Don't hate the player, hate the game

I respect that Jeff Dunham makes no bones about who he is – a puppet comedian. He doesn’t steal material like other douche bags (Dane Cook, Carlos Mencia), doesn’t act like he’s the greatest comedian ever – he’s just doing his thing. If someone offered you a TV show and multiple comedy specials, would you turn them down in the name of comedy? Hell no you wouldn’t.

I’m not even a real fan of his – I think some of his bits are funny, but there are far better comedians out there (Louis C.K. FTW). This guy is popular right now, and he’s just riding the wave. It’s his own version of the American Dream. Plus, we know that talent has nothing to do with popularity.

Of course, seeing as how I was born into this era and not some advance-star-traveling era that humanity dreams is possible (not that I’m complaining – I’m glad I wasn’t born during the World Wars or the old Dynasty states of China), I just have to pray for some time-traveling capabilities to be created in the far future, so that my descendants can come back to take me to the future!

Look at the big picture, G-S.

Maybe there won’t be a world changing event in 2012, or maybe not even in your lifetime.

But time is vast. The earth tends to have a huge climatic event every couple of centuries, so in enough time something is bound to knock humanity back to the stone age. Species don’t last forever either. Even if it’s the same shit for the next 100 years, you can still rest assured that it won’t go on forever, and there’s a good chance the entire human race will be snuffed out within a millennium or two.

I like spiders.

I’ll let them crawl on me in front of people with phobias. Sometimes it tames the phobia, sometimes they just scream even louder!

My favorite is when I’m at someone else’s house, and someone freaks out over a nonpoisonous spider and wants it dead, then someone else’s heart bleeds and doesn’t want to kill it… While someone grudgingly goes and looks for tupperware, I’ll just trap it in my hands and take it outside.

What I hate the most

Is when they come toward me when I try to avoid them/leave them in peace (I refrain from killing them, since they can take care of those annoying flies and/or mosquitoes). I’ll see one going toward/hanging out on one side of the room, so I go to the opposite direction. Next thing I know, it’ll turn and go directly to where I’m sitting.

That’s when I rage. Or scream like a little schoolgirl and go for the vaccum (the latter was more frequent when I was younger). Sometimes, if I feel nice or patient, I’ll lay something in it’s path (piece of paper, tissue paper) and once it crawls on it, I’ll take it outside.

But that thing in that picture? I’m grabbing a flamethrower or a rocket launcher.

Not enough food for spiders

in most homes.
I believe they are happier outside. They can’t fall in a drain, and get washed away to their death.

I always, always take them outside. It’s a jungle out there, but, better than the food desert inside. Sometimes coming upon a desiccated corpse in a web in a faraway corner of a room, tells me insects are too infrequently around for spiders to live well and prosper.

Awaiting the start of the 2010 season!

How to make and kill Sock Puppets before they destroy the planet

A Sock is a hideous thing. It can cause hemorraging of the brain, that’s for sure. Better yet, it can become a zillion different critters. Sock puppets are easy to make and easy to kill.

All you need to do is start with a sock.

1. Put the sock on your hand so that your fingers and thumb are in the toe and the back of your wrist is in the heel.
2. To make room for your puppet’s mouth, make a slit in the sock between your thumb and fingers.

3. Cut an oval 3 inches across and 5 inches long…make that 2 ovals, one of posterboard or milk bottle plastic-something semi rigid and one of fabric.

4. Glue the fabric oval to the posterboard (rigid) oval with white glue.
5. After the glue has begun to dry, fold them in half the short way.
6. Sew folded oval into your sock. Finally, your puppet can talk.

7. Now the fun begins! What your puppet becomes depends on you. Think eyes, hair, ears, hats, moustaches, beards, eyebrows, noses, collars, neckties, shirts and dresses.

8. Once you have completed your sock puppet, you must destroy it immediately to prevent it from committing atrocities upon mankind. Take a dull ax, place the sock puppet firmly on a chopping block and repeatedly strike at the neckular region until the puppet has been severed.

Sock puppets are fun and extremely dangerous. Kill them now.

I think I wrote a song about your ex-wife a long time ago...

“lookin’ for a girl who’ll treat me like a creep… try to kill me with a bootknife when I go to sleep…
 lookin’ for a girl, doesn’t matter what race… she gotta have tattoos and a pierced up face…
 
 but since I met’ya baby, don’t know what to do…
 Jesus, I’ve been waiting for a girl like you…”

of course, the punch line is that the song is actually a love song to Jesus in drag, and at the end of the song, my buddy with Jesuslike hair and beard would come out from backstage dressed like a hooker… in heels and nightie and makeup…

Ooo Clearlake!

My friend has a house out in Nice, right on the lake. We go up there quite a few times a year, get drunk and the head to the Boathouse bar down the street to get even more drunk before going back to the house and drinking summore. I think we throw some food in there too, but who can remember for sure?

God, I feel a hangover coming on just typing about it.

Go!

Just be warned that during the summer its gets extra hot which makes you extra crispy. I usually tan well and don’t burn, but one year, after spending just one day in the sun, I had patches of skin actually turn purple which lasted many months hahaha In other words, just don’t always believe what the temp gage says ;)

But go and have fun. Its so worth it

One year at the Mendocino Music Festival

They were doing a piece with a big chorus (Verdi requiem) so they had recruited a bunch of kids from the Lakeport High School choir to join. I talked to some of them and they were all excited like, “Wow, it’s so exciting to be able to make this trip,” and I thought, “Dude, you’re like 90 minutes away. You’ve never been to Mendocino?” but they were acting like it was a trip to Vienna or something.

I think Lakeport is more like Nebraska. True Arkansas would be Whiskeytown Lake up by Redding. Damn, that lake is well-named. Serious redneckery up there.

recently, I had occasion to use this.

Honest. I ran outta gas. I had a flat tire. I didn’t have enough money for cab fare. My tux didn’t come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from outta town. Someone stole my car. There was an earthquake, a terrible flood, locust’s. It wasn’t my fault!! I swear to God!!

I thought it was my charm and strength of personality and good looks.

Oh, and my modesty.

Mahna manah

Leopold Bloom on why he loves Mr. Peter Gammons, his best buddy:
"Peter Gammons systematically ignored and/or ran down the A’s in the pages of Sports Illustrated and The Sporting News for a good ten year stretch in the late seventies and early to mid-eighties. Trust me, the c**ksucker hates our team."

I may have to list this on my resume/CV

I once had a recommended fanpost about sock puppets up at AN for two weeks.

IT WAS GLORIOUS.
