Now don’t I have egg on my face huh ?
I gotta say I feel a little more than just embarrassment right now . It’s not as bad as that one time at the school talent show where I had to follow Ophelia the teacher’s pet , and her mesmerizing rendition of “ Amazing Grace “ or anything , but damn , it ain’t my fault nobody got the joke I tried to spectacularly provide …..
all I did when I wrote down on the paperwork and application when entering that contest was scribble “ juggling “ under the heading :
“ Talent to be Performed “
The whole auditorium was packed with students , parents , teachers , and even that pencil neck geek custodian that had just recently come back to work after spending time in a halfway house for molesting cats when I did what I’m about to describe …..
so Ophelia and her fat ass sashays on by me winking ever so confidently like a bitch does when she knows she’s good , and says “ top that you fuckin’ goof “
like her shit didn’t stink , please , it literally did , because I walked in on her once pinching a loaf at Stoner Greg’s house this one time at a party , but that’s another story for another day ….
anyway , so the crowd is going apeshit and applauding like Cher herself just walked out on stage and plopped the second coming of Jesus Christ from her slopbox……
parents high fiving and moving around with no rhythm at all , good grief , what a bunch of fucking nerds , anyway , so I walk out there , nobody paying attention , barely being recognized , and even Chet , the albino kid with ringworm , who’s duty it was , was to handle the audio and walk up music for the show forgot about me….
so like 25 seconds goes by and the crowd in the theater must have all just enjoyed a cigarette together after climaxing over Ophelia’s performance because they all got real relaxed and quiet …..
so Chet the audio kid , embarrassed that he forgot to play my music looking blush in the face and like a Christmas ornament on that pasty albino skin says : “ and now please welcome spockgato performing his juggling act …. “
But I ain’t got nothing in my hands son . Nada . Till i ask for a microphone and I proceed to bring my pants down Marky Mark style in front of the stunned crowd ….
I made sure to wear a clean pair of thin boxers that morning for the occasion mind you , and slowly elevated the volume magnifier to my heart shaped mouth and said :
” Now I’m gonna juggle my balls “
So I stood there groping my sack like a proud mother does to her son’s head after she sees the “ A “ he got on his test that he brought home when he takes everything out of his book bag……
I got expelled that day but it was worth it . Plus the kids at my new school a county over heard about what I did and really took me in as one of their own . I made a lot of new and to this day , lifelong friends ……
damn , I didn’t know there was a Moscow in Idaho
I wonder if there’s a Poughkeepsie in St.Petersburg ?
BACK PATTING and KISSING threads are like passing HAM SANDWICHES around over and over-wall
