I opened my Mouth to Vomit---But all I got were words....

About Me


Sorry to everyone with dial-up. My page will, in all likelihood, load excruciatingly slow. It seems I have Moderation issues. My apologies....
''By the prickling of my thumbs, Something wicked this way comes.''
-William Shakespeare
The Superfluous Story of Me.
I was born and raised in Bloomington. I graduated from Bloomington High School South in 1985. I was shortly thereafter kicked out of my Parents house for setting my Sister on fire in a freak juggling accident. If you're reading this Mom, it was an accident- I swear! I knocked around for the whole summer of 1986 finally getting a job as the front man in the now infamous Punk Rock band; The Dip Stix. We were popular for our outrageous stage antics which usually consisted of me singing the lyrics of our songs with my mouth full of crackers (sometimes pancakes) and the bright pink tutus that we all wore on stage. Rock and Roll smiled on us throughout 1987. Our fame was fleeting however, and the band sadly broke apart in 1988 after our Drummer joined the Hare Krishnas and our Bass player became an assistant to the Secretary of State for the Reagan Administration.
Unemployed and restless, I then decided to roam the Country in early 1989 and was picked up hitchhiking by a traveling carnival outside of Shuqualak, Mississippi. I was convinced to join the Carnival by a very charming woman named Miss Opal Umpa who happened to be the resident Bearded Lady. I started out as a tent peg driver but by the spring of 1990 I was in a position to be promoted to Carnival Ring Toss Barker. Well, despite a particularly venomous campaign to keep me out of the position by the Ferris Wheel Manager and the Amazing Alligator Boy, and thanks to an equally intense lobbying campaign on my behalf by Opal and the conjoined twins, Ralph and Waldo Emerson, I assumed my new position in March of 1990. The work was hard but very exciting, moving from town to town every week, meeting new and different people and taking their money. You could say that I found it to be very rewarding.
I kept my Ring Toss job until the Summer of 1991, when by a chance encounter in a Karaoke Bar in Atlantic City, I met a surly (and very drunk on Sake) Japanese gentleman who invited me to a friendly game of poker. After playing for around 4 hours (and winning quite a tidy sum) the game came down to a really tense hand between me and Mr. Yoraguba, the surly drunk fellow. I managed to beat his three nines with a full house and inadvertently gained control of the western Japanese underworld. It turned out that Mr. Yoraguba was a Yakuza Boss and now I had inherited (won) his empire. So, I had to say goodbye to the Carnival and settle into my new position which was very difficult to say the least. First of all, there was a significant language barrier and secondly, I wasn't a very good criminal. I have been told that crime actually fell by nearly 33% in Japan during my reign of 1993. Unfortunately a contract was put out on my life on New Years Day of 1994 when I made all of the Yakuza under my control, get chest sized tattoos of a smiley faces with the words; “Have a Nice Day!” in bright pink letters. Shortly thereafter, I decided to lay off alcohol (sake in particular).
I turned to the United States Government and with the help of the United States Attorney General, Janet Reno (who by the way sings a mean rendition of the School House Rock song; “Conjunction Junction), in joint cooperation with the Japanese Interpol, I was able to escape to the United States with a new Identity and fresh lease on life.
The downside was that I had to testify in court against all my Yakuza pals, but then again, they were trying to kill me so I didn’t lose too much sleep over it. If you ever see any ex-cons of Japanese Descent washing dishes at a sushi bar with big smiley faces on their chests, feel free to walk up to them and say, “Master Burdeshaw-san sends his regards!” I guarantee the look on their faces will be priceless.
Anyway, the Federal Witness Protection Program was great! I decided I wanted to be a Paleontologist and change my name to Dr. Willbert Scott Hutup and I spent all of 1995 digging up dinosaurs in the Montana Badlands. In March of 1996 I discovered a small therapod dinosaur which I was able to name myself. It’s called Fulabulosaurus Burdeshawii.
In late 1996, I was spotted by the producers of Jeopardy, shortly after my discovery was shown on the PBS program Nova. I participated in the first and only “Stars of Science” Jeopardy. I miraculously made it to the final round, and simultaneously lost and blew my cover when I answered the ‘Current events’ question: “He was the first and last Caucasian leader of the feared Japanese Yakuza.” Instead of saying, “Who is Kburd?” I blurted out, “I was!”
I forgot to frame the answer as a question and needless to say, the episode was being shown live and I had just outed myself to millions of TV viewers. Alex Trebek was shocked that I was one of his questions and disappointed that he had to disqualify me. So, with my cover blown, I was barred from digging up dinosaurs and was promptly kicked out of the Witness Protection Program. Since my fiasco, I have learned that Jeopardy now regularly consults the FBI before green-lighting a contestant.
Bereft and despondent, I decided to take a soul searching trip to Tibet and started a year long odyssey of self discovery while meditating in a Buddhist monastery. It was in late 1997 that I had a brief encounter with Pope John Paul II while fixing the front window of the Monastery (it was broken in a rowdy game of Ultimate Frisbee by the resident Monks). The Pope, it seems, was on one of his world wide whirlwind tours of the region, when I accidentally dropped my hammer on his foot.
He looked at me, rubbing his foot and smiled, “Son, I appreciate your efforts here at the Monastery and happen to know that a modest Catholic Center in the United States will be looking for a full time Maintenance Man. I think you’d be perfect for the job. If you would be interested I could put in a good word for you.”
“Can you tell me where in the U.S.?” I asked.
“A small but lovely little town in Indiana called Bloomington.” He told me.
“Wow that is an unreal coincidence, your Imminence. I happen to be from Bloomington!” I said exhuberantly.
“There are no coincidences my son, only Divine Providence.” He smiled.
The next day I set out for Bloomington and arrived here in 1998, just about the same time an opening for Maintenance Man miraculously happened at St. Roque's Basilica and Espresso bar. I applied for the job and without the promised recommendation from the Pope (he was busy touring Poland and couldn’t get to his E-mail in time), I was carefully considered and finally accepted as the new Maintenance Man at St. Roque's.
The rest as they say “is History.” Since then, my life has mellowed considerably and I have found the time to get married and raise a family. Frequently, during the course of a very busy day, while setting up tables, fixing toilets or breaking up caffeine fueled fist-fights between the friars and priests, I find myself smiling and thinking; “It could be worse; I could be blowing a game of Jeopardy or playing cards with Japanese Mobsters, and I grudgingly Thank the Creator for “Divine Providence” - whatever the Hell that means!”
''.... I sensed it was a silly story long before I dared to admit even to myself that it was a silly story. For indeed it is a silly story, and each generation nowadays swallows it with greater difficulty.... Why do people go on pretending ...?'' -- H. G. Wells

''...And it is--ignorant people, the most uneducated, the most unimaginative, the most unthinking among us, who would make themselves the guides and leaders of us all; who would force their feeble and childish beliefs on us; who would invade our schools and libraries and homes. I personally resent it bitterly.''
-- Isaac Asimov




''A mind is like a parachute. It doesn't work if it's not open.''

''I maintain there is much more wonder in science than in pseudoscience. And in addition, to whatever measure this term has any meaning, science has the additional virtue, and it is not an inconsiderable one, of being true.''
-Carl Sagan
"Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

''Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, and I choose the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.''

About My Hell Spawn.

Here's a little something for my Pastafarian friends.

"This calls for a particularly
subtle blend of psychology
and extereme violence."
-Vivian, "The Young Ones"

''The notion that a radical is one who hates his country is naive and usually idiotic. He is, more likely, one who likes his country more than the rest of us, and is thus more disturbed than the rest of us when he sees it debauched. He is not a bad citizen turning to crime; he is a good citizen driven to despair.''
-H.L. Mencken


''The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions, that I wish it always to be kept alive.''
-Thomas Jefferson


"I don't believe in evil, I believe only in horror. In nature there is no evil, only an abundance of horror: the plagues and the blights and the ants and the maggots.
-Isak Dinesen


''I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, and that enables you to laugh at life's realities.''
-Dr. Seuss

''And thus I clothe my naked villainy-With old odd ends, stol'n forth of holy writ; And seem a saint, when most I play the devil.''
- William Shakespeare

''The way of Providence is a little rude. The habit of snake and spider, the snap of the tiger and other leapers and bloody jumpers, the crackle of the bones of his prey in the coil of the anaconda-these are in the system, and our habits are like theirs.''
-Ralph Waldo Emerson


''Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters.''
-- Daniel Webster

''I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than to those attending too small a degree of it. ''
-Thomas Jefferson



''In science it often happens that scientists say, "You know that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken," and then they actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again. They really do it. It doesn't happen as often as it should, because scientists are human and change is sometimes painful. But it happens every day. I cannot recall the last time something like that happened in politics or religion.''
~Carl Sagan, 1987

have you swam in the Shit?
The Party Conventions,
And the real Politick
The Faces always Different
The Rhetoric the Same
But we Swallow it all
and we see nothing Change...
Nothing Has Changed!

This is Just a Punk Rock Song
written for the people who
can see something's wrong
Like workers in a factory
we do our share
but there's so many other
fuckin' Robots out there..

and this is just a
Punk Rock Song..."

"Who wants to be well adjusted to injustice? What kind of human being do you want to be?"
-Cornell West
"Mere grotesqueness is very common; sly, malign madness sometimes lurks around the corner; and berserk, revolting murder under peculiarly messy and clumsy conditions is a matter of not infrequent record."
-H. P. Lovecraft

''Believe me! The secret of reaping the greatest fruitfulness and the greatest enjoyment from life is to live dangerously!''
-Friedrich Nietzsche
''What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of liberty or democracy?''
-Mahatma Gandhi
''America does not go abroad in search of monsters to destroy. She is the well-wisher to freedom and independence of all. She is the champion and vindicator only of her own.''
-John Quincy Adams
''The most important scientific revolutions all include, as their only common feature, the dethronement of human arrogance from one pedestal after another of previous convictions about our centrality in the cosmos.''
-Stephen Jay Gould
''Because religious belief, or non-belief, is such an important part of every person's life, freedom of religion affects every individual. State churches that use government power to support themselves and force their views on persons of other faiths undermine all our civil rights. Moreover, state support of the church tends to make the clergy unresponsive to the people and leads to corruption within religion. Erecting the "wall of separation between church and state," therefore, is absolutely essential in a free society.'' -Thomas Jefferson
D.O.A. - ''America The Beautiful''
Lock your doors, lock 'em tight
it's the new immoral right
they wanna cleanse the home of the brave

it's so beautiful ...
America !-- I got my bible!
America !-- I got my handgun!
America !-- now I'm ready!
America !-- home of the brave!
America !-- and the home of the slaves!
America !-- now I'm ready ...
On the street you won't know them
like a pack of wolves in sheep's clothing
spreading wide, spreading far
not just another false alarm
it's so beautiful...
America !-- I got my bible!
America !-- I got my handgun!
America !-- now I'm ready!
America !-- home of the brave!
America !-- and the home of the slaves!
America !-- now I'm ready ...

It's so
