or a record 28th year in a row, Yasser Arafat, leader of the mega-popular boy band PLO, has been voted "Hunkiest Palestinian." The award, which often leads to lucrative endorsement deals and speaking engagements, was not unexpected. Mr. Arafat had token opposition from members of PLO-spinoff bands Hamas and Hezbollah, but no one seriously expected any of them to challenge the reigning MC Mullah of the Gaza for the winner's turban this year.

Cited by West Bank teenagers as reasons for voting for Mr. Arafat as the Imam of Palestinian Hunks were, among other reasons, "the way that big bottom lip of his quivers when he talks," and "his rad beard, dude." Also mentioned were his "big, sad puppy dog eyes," and his "cool sense of fashion."
Asked for comment, Mr. Arafat responded, "I am humbled to be once again chosen, praise Allah, and I would like to send my thanks and blessings to all the young G's and martyrs out there, to all my peeps and homies. May Allah smile upon you, and may your quota of 70 virgins in paradise be each one beautiful and have all of their own teeth." Here at the commune, you can rest assured that all of our virgins have their full complement of teeth. Bludney Plud, after a short stint in an unnamed rehab center, is back at his keyboard, and hardly ever thinks about all those self-esteem issues he once had anymore.
 | Church Clarifies "No Sex With Kids" Stance April 15, 2002 |
Archdeacon Mavis Plum is totally shocked. Really.
“I don’t know where people got the idea that the church is all about buggering little kids, maybe we should start covering that a bit more in Sunday school,” said Archdeacon Mavis Plum in a recent interview. “Maybe a new commandment would help, something catchy like ‘Thou shall not pork a preschooler.’ It would certainly help with public relations.”
Other members of th...
n the face of countless allegations of sexual misconduct among its priests, including criminal charges of child molestation and the popularity of the high-profile “Catholic Priests Gone Wild” DVD series, the Roman Catholic Church has issued a new public statement clarifying its position on grown men having sex with little kids. And the answer may surprise you: They’re against it. “I don’t know where people got the idea that the church is all about buggering little kids, maybe we should start covering that a bit more in Sunday school,” said Archdeacon Mavis Plum in a recent interview. “Maybe a new commandment would help, something catchy like ‘Thou shall not pork a preschooler.’ It would certainly help with public relations.” Other members of the church seemed more surprised by the announcement. “What?” questioned Rev. Phil Binder, shuffling an issue of Tiger Beat magazine under some papers on his desk. “Since when? What the hell else would you want to be a priest for, the dental plan? Shit.” Binder cut the interview short as he hurriedly dialed his telephone. “These recent allegations really have shocked the church community,” insisted Mavis. “I mean, who would expect that men, deprived of normal sexual outlets for a lifetime, would eventually turn to the nearest moist orifice for satisfaction? I mean, prisoners, maybe. Guys living in Wyoming, sure. Have you seen the women there? Yikes. But men of God? It’s long been assumed that the power of the holy spirit would give them the strength to overcome the inevitable pull of a young altar boy’s beautiful, untainted anus. But I guess not. The devil must really have gotten into those boys, to seduce priests like that. It’s amazing. It buggers the mind. Boggles.” Concerned parents nationwide were relieved by the announcement. Sandy Maynard of Des Plains, IA summed up the reactions of many. “I just sighed a big, relieved sigh. It’s stressful, trying to balance eternal damnation on one hand and having your kids ass-rammed on the other. Nobody wants to piss off God by not being involved in the church, you know? But to tell you the truth, I always thought those church sleepovers were a little weird. When I was a kid, I’m pretty sure the body of Christ you accepted during communion didn’t involve throbbing man-meat.” The announcement is only the first step in a plan to change the public’s perception of the Catholic Church as a NAMBLA meeting with wine. This week, motivational posters featuring popular cartoon characters and slogans like “Play it straight—don’t penetrate,” “Abstinence now: Miles of underage rectums in heaven” and “When in doubt, don’t whip it out” will be distributed to churches nationwide in an effort to help priests with the transition to a sodomy-free church experience. When asked how the church could have overlooked what must have been obvious signs of altar boy mistreatment over the years, Archdeacon Plum muttered something about not running a daycare center while frowning at the screen of his Game Boy. Bishop Theodore Rexall would not return the commune’s calls regarding the same question, or our questions about if he’s the one who can move diagonally or if that’s a Rook. the commune news hasn’t been to church in years, and have that to thank for our rock-solid sexual identity. Kendra Beuttle was until recently a meter reader for Con Ed, but was hired onto the commune staff in accordance with our new “Dodge the Electric Bill” policy for 2002.

 April 15, 2002 Just the Fags, Ma'amthe commune's Stu Umbrage wants your honest flattery Stop! Collaborate and listen. Ice is back with a brand new edition.
That's what I hear anyway. I wonder what it could be about? Hopefully it's more fun than that lame one where he says he's got phatter rhymes than the New York Times. Sheesh. Everybody knows it's the New York POST that's dope on a rope. Freakin' amateurs.
Anybody seen the new Daewoo sedan? Talk about the sweetest thing since eight pounds of cotton candy stuffed up the Qwik bunny's ass. Damn.
Woah, almost freaked out there. I had this dream the other day that I got caught wearing a pink hat in North Korea, and it wasn't pretty. The situation, that is, the hat itself was actually pretty nice. But I just saw some guy wearing a pink hat outside and I thought for a second I was going ...

Woah, almost freaked out there. I had this dream the other day that I got caught wearing a pink hat in North Korea, and it wasn't pretty. The situation, that is, the hat itself was actually pretty nice. But I just saw some guy wearing a pink hat outside and I thought for a second I was going to get caned. Wsheeeew.
That's the sound owls make when they whisper. It means "Pssst. I just coughed up an owl pellet into your gas tank. Have a nice day."
Going out tonight, I'm assuming m'lady is ready for an evening of dinner and dancing. Have you ever met m'lady? Four foot tall Malaysian guy, goddamn if that midget can't dance. He knows twelve different steps named after neurological disorders alone.
Oh, speaking of dancing, I have a wedding to go to this weekend! I wonder what kind of music they'll play, if I should dress for the Fox-trot or the Lambada? I have some breakaway pants I've really been dying to try out. I hope they play Thriller. Does it count as "dancing" if I just do "the worm" the whole time I'm there? "Hey, dude! Can you worm on over there and get me a slice of cake?" "Right on! -wormwormwormworm-". This is going to be great, I've never been to a breakdancing wedding before. "I now pronounce you... Breakin' Ill to the Max! You may Electric Boogaloo! -priest does 'the windmill' as a circle forms around the altar-". I can't wait.
I'm sure you understand that with all of this excitement abounding, it's practically mandated that I get my glory sleep.
Wake me when the trumpets start. º Last Column: Swimming in a Lake of Lungsº more columns |

|   Falwell in Domain Name-Buying Frenzy BY kelly mckelly 4/15/2002 I'm Telling Everyone Bob Wright's An AssholeIt was about 3 in the morning this night, a Sunday. I had been up for three days straight on heroin and speed, suffering only minor hallucinations. I saw a tiny pixie chewing on a dead crow, which would have been disturbing, but I had started to roll with the visions. It was actually just my diminuitive friend Tim Birdsell eating a box of KFC he was nursing for the same three days.
Bob was a mess. He never dealt well with being extremely wasted, we all knew it and had started to hope the S.O.B. would just overdose and stop bringing us down.

It was about 3 in the morning this night, a Sunday. I had been up for three days straight on heroin and speed, suffering only minor hallucinations. I saw a tiny pixie chewing on a dead crow, which would have been disturbing, but I had started to roll with the visions.

Bob was a mess. He never dealt well with being extremely wasted, we all knew it and had started to hope the S.O.B. would just overdose and stop bringing us down. Bob climbed up on top of the water tower at one point and demanded from God that he be able to fly. We were afraid he was going to jump, thinking he could fly, but apparently his refusal to do so was simply because in his paranoia he figured that's what God wanted to just destroy him. Of course, if God had wanted to destroy him, I mean, c'mon, He's God, He can do whatever he wants. He doesn't have to angle his way to your destruction or nothing.
We all did lots of drugs, but Bob was self-destructive about it. Too much was never enough, and never enough was always far from finished, and far from finished was just—it was all a shitload of drugs, that's all I know. He filled a Lincoln town car with cocaine one evening and snorted it all over the course of the weekend. His whole head was as hollow as a chocolate bunny's by Monday morning. One time I saw Bob feed six pounds of hashish to a burro and smoke its ass. He was way over the top, we all knew it. He was going to crash and burn, and it would be at the same time.
Sex with Bob was always terribly embarrassing for him. His penis had shrunk to an inch and a half, fully erect, and often when we were supposed to be having sex he had been fucking the cat for five minutes before I told him his error. And when we did manage to have sex it was over so fast I think we actually went back in time. It was like we stopped ourselves from having sex before we had it he was so quick to ejaculate.
Bob's eyes were bloodshot on this Sunday night, practically bulging out of his head and into my chicken noodle soup. I was trying to sober up quick because Monday morning I needed to be at Cher's by 10 a.m.—I was a close confidential friend of hers for several years as well, which I'll dish out all the dirt on in a future book. I thought if I left Bob might die, but despite my pleas to please not die while I was gone, there was nothing I could do. I wrote a post-it for Bob, asking him to get help while there was still time, but I don't think he ever got it. Or if he did, he didn't take me seriously.
I found Bob in the studio three days later, passed out on the Marshall Tucker Band. At this point his habit was at its worst, he had taken to mainlining John Denver records and I was sure he would be dead by the weekend. But somehow Bob always managed to snap out of it long enough to record another hit album. It was this record-injecting session that turned out "Mixed Fruitcup Blues," one of his most touching ballads ever, and he had actually come up with the lyrics while the microphone was fully inserted up his ass. When they say Bob Wright's a genius, that's what they mean.
Bob and I had about six months left in our relationship, yet as bad as our relationship would get at times, I've never hated him for what he's done to me. He's simply Bob, that's who he is. He is no more responsible for being a drug-addled, childish musical genius than I'm responsible for being a two-faced confidant.   |
