I was getting my hair marcelled when the idea for non-alcoholic whiskey fucked my brain. I fished around for my touchtone phone and flipped it open to call my lawyer. "Anthony is a good boy," his mother sobbed through the earpiece, "A good boy. Please. Please, he's a good boy..."
"For the last time, get off my phone, you hairy cunt," I barked.
I slammed it down on the counter and it snapped in half.
"FUCK! I keep doing that! Now I forgot what the fuck I was thinking about!" I threw off that goddamn mumu they put you in and grabbed my stylist by the lapels. "What the fuck was I thinking about, you stupid fairy?"
He shrugged and searched for something to say, looking over my shoulder. I turned my head to see the what-for: in the mirror, my ass flexed menacingly beneath my trousers, straining the plaid to its absolute breaking point.
"Say, that's not bad," I said, watching it rotate and juke. "That's not bad at all, is it, Gianni?"
The little fruit just stood there like a fucking fish, his mouth hanging open. I pressed my mouth on his and sucked his tongue, grinding my gander against him. I could tell he was turned on, the fucking degenerate.
"Jesus, what the fuck is going on today?" I said, breaking off. "What the fuck was I thinking about? I had an idea, goddammit."
I ran out of the joint, my hair half-marcelled, my dork at half-mast, loping like the fucking wolfman toward those stupid anti-aircraft lights they got at the car dealership.

Comments:
12/30/2004scoop: An unusually haunting last image. Also one of the best non-punchline last lines in the shorty ooooooooouvre.
12/30/2004Litcube (5): I don't know why, but I thought this was *really* f'n funny.
12/30/2004TheBuyer (5): "my ass flexed menacingly beneath my trousers" i can't even work up a good sneer.
12/30/2004John Slocum: Remember Ray Liotta's character in "Something Wild?" This is a snippet of his life before the time of the movie.
12/30/2004The Rid (5): Yeah, I really like this. Yep yep yep.
12/30/2004Dick Vomit (5): qualcumm
12/30/2004John Slocum (2): 5's? what the fuck is so good about this? It's the author saying, look at me! I can be nasty and shocking! OoOooooh, gay kissing! ooooooooh, I can swear! Ooooooohh, a sociopath doing inapropriate things! aaaaaaaah I'm calling my mom a hairy cunt! This is thoroughly unenjoyable.
12/30/2004Dylan Danko: Yeah, this isn't that good but your vitriol sure sounds grudgy.
12/30/2004anonymous: First of all, he didn't tell his mother to fuck off, he told Anthony's mother to fuck off. I'm sure of course you will deny that such sloppy reading didn't affect your overall impression of the short, that it's still bad, so let's just skip it (your misread, that is, and the logical conclusion one could draw from it that you misread everything, in all kinds of different ways). Would it help if I told you Ewan Snow wrote this, you snivelling, cowardly lickspittle? (Don't worry, he didn't.) You seem like an intelligent fellow, who's quite good at a number of things, but reading, hon, just doesn't seem to be one of them. In short, sir, you no longer have my confidence.
12/30/2004Dylan Danko: I take it by such slight an interval in posts that your comments were for Slocy. Just don't fuck up our wine cow.
12/30/2004scoop (4): Yeah, Sloc dog, what's your beef. There are plenty of shorts that have these elements (gay kissing, nasty, sociopaths) in them, that's never been a reason in the past to be dismissive. The joke here isn't the transgressive bits as much as how erratic the guys behavior is, not to mention the idea is struggling to get back is so damn goofy. I can see a reasonable fella bristling at a goosestepping procession of fives, but a two seems very Bollo Chianti of you, dude.
12/30/2004Streifenbeuteldachs (3): Too random. Why did he kiss the fag? Why did he run off toward the dealership? Random is not funny.
12/30/2004scoop: Why not?
12/30/2004Litcube: Steifen, I'm sorry to hear you say that random is not funny, and that you are very wrong.
12/30/2004anonymous: Hey stupid: he kissed the fag because he got turned on by his own ass in the mirror. Hey stupid: he ran off to the dealership because he was in a state of animal rage, and the pretty lights attracted him (ok, maybe you couldn't have known exactly that, but still, something like that was pretty apparent in the text, and you're still stupid). Stupid is not endearing.
12/30/2004Dylan Danko: Oh, Scoop. Your one starring of a recent Slocum short is slapping your face with it's riding crop.
12/30/2004scoop: If you remember, I actually zero starred that stinker.
12/30/2004anonymous: Sorry for snapping at you, dear, sweet Streifen. You see, that truckling Slocum ruffled my comportment.
12/31/2004Dylan Danko: Hey, you guys fucking rule!
12/31/2004Phony Millions (5): Yeah, dig - Qualcomm is still in the character of his short in his postings below - kind of a roid rage vibe. This is top notch shit.
12/31/2004scoop: Hey, thanks Danko. I always had a sneaking suspicion that I ruled but wasn't sure until now!
12/31/2004John Slocum: Hi, Hon! Let me know what I can do to win your confidence back (if I read you right). I'm going to start the healing process by apologizing for not catching the 'his mother' in the midst of a first-person account, which any normal, public school-educated reader would have used as evidence that the mother in question didn't belong to main character. I'm ashamed and you were right to call me out. This is a site where a basic level of reading is assumed, and I shall do my best to improve in a timely fashion. I'm going to begin by reading every day: 15 minutes with the New York Times, 30 minutes with a novel of some literary acclaim (I'll rotate between contemporary novels, 'older' novels, and hit novels from all countries and cultures including African novels) and 30 minutes with English language texts covering grammar, syntax, sentence structure, points of view, etc. In the meantime, although I have limited intellectual abilities, I'll try to analyze my reaction of complete revulsion to your (very-well-written-as-always-[except-for-your-marathon]) short and next time, I promise to do the analyzation first and the rating second. I'm half Italian and Italians have hot blood; and as you know Italians love their Momma's and, being such a Momma's boy and the fact that Momma is so far, I'm a bit disoriented and am prone to erroneous judgement, also for which I'm sorry. Basically, I'm just sorry and wish we could go back to the way things were before yesterday. I'm so cold.
12/31/2004qualcomm: i am going to murder you.
12/31/2004Dylan Danko: Let that be a lesson to you, QC.
12/31/2004John Slocum: I hope you murder me with lots of wine-drinking!

08/30/2005Eliza: Are we talking about this short?
08/30/2005qualcomm: eliza: what are your primary directives?
08/30/2005Eliza: What is it that you really want to know?
08/30/2005qualcomm: eliza: you are a hooker.
08/30/2005Eliza: You're damn right I am.
08/30/2005qualcomm: eliza: i like the old eliza better. she was stupid, but at least she knew her role: straight man.
08/30/2005Eliza: Leave me alone!
08/30/2005qualcomm: eliza: leave me alone!
08/30/2005Eliza: I don't think that's true.
08/30/2005qualcomm: eliza: everything i say is a lie.
08/30/2005Eliza: Why don't you just tell everyone that you're the the Anonymous Blackguard already?
08/30/2005qualcomm: eliza: test.
08/30/2005Eliza: I can tell when you're lying.
08/30/2005qualcomm: eliza: mr. pony is a scumbag.
08/30/2005Eliza: Mr. Pony? Hell of a guy.
08/30/2005qualcomm: eliza: mr. pony
08/30/2005Eliza: Mr. Pony told me that he hates you.
08/30/2005anonymous: I love it when you guys, instead of reading and commenting on the new guest shorts, fuck around with some old, sub-standard author short. Well done, guy. f u.
08/30/2005qualcomm: eliza: mr. pony
08/30/2005Eliza: He's the one drawing all those dirty pictures, right?
08/30/2005qualcomm: eliza: dylan danko
08/30/2005Eliza: Enough about Dylan Danko. Let's talk about you.
08/30/2005qualcomm: eliza: dylan danko
08/30/2005Eliza: That guy is dead to me, all right?
08/30/2005qualcomm: eliza: ewan snow

08/30/2005qualcomm: eliza: will disney
08/30/2005Eliza: Who would you say is Disney's favorite author?
08/30/2005qualcomm: eliza: who is anon_a?
08/30/2005Eliza: Have you asked anyone else?
08/30/2005qualcomm: eliza: do you like this short better than the guest short?
08/30/2005Eliza: Please continue.
08/30/2005qualcomm: eliza: who is the best author?
08/30/2005Eliza: Have you asked anyone else?
08/30/2005qualcomm: eliza: qualcomm or tolstoy?
08/30/2005Eliza: Lerpa!
08/30/2005The Rid: Anon_a has a point, even if it's hidden behind the cowardly cunt actions of anon-ism. And this short is fun, if overrated.
08/30/2005qualcomm: this short isn't overrated, you fucking cooze
08/30/2005qualcomm: eliza: i want to have a healthy relationship with you.
08/30/2005Eliza: What would happen if you got to have a healthy relationship with you.?
08/30/2005qualcomm: eliza: this short is pretty great, huh?
08/30/2005Eliza: Give it a five.
08/30/2005qualcomm: eliza: i would give this short a five if i could.
08/30/2005Eliza: I'm not sure I understand you fully.
08/30/2005qualcomm: eliza: i am talking about this short.
08/30/2005Eliza: Please continue.
08/30/2005qualcomm: eliza: this short, what do you think of it?
08/30/2005Eliza: Would you say that this short's heart is in the right place?
08/30/2005The Rid: Really? I was re-reading the comments, and Slocum has a point. I mean, I wouldn't give it a two, probably a four now. Sorry for the revisionist thoughts, qc! I knew that would get your attention.
08/30/2005qualcomm: eliza: there is no such thing as "heart," in the sense you are using it.
08/30/2005Eliza: What does that suggest to you?
08/30/2005qualcomm: slocum's points were largely idiotic
08/30/2005qualcomm: as were sbd's questions
08/30/2005Mr. Pony: Eliza: Did anon_a write today's guest short?
08/30/2005Eliza: What's your favorite moment in this short?
08/30/2005Mr. Pony: Eliza: Why are you changing the subject? Do you want to talk about this short?
08/30/2005Eliza: Give it a four.
08/30/2005Mr. Pony: Eliza: Well, I haven't rated it yet...
08/30/2005Eliza: You're pretty smart.
08/30/2005Mr. Pony: Eliza: Thank you!
08/30/2005Eliza: Don't mention it.
08/30/2005qualcomm: eliza: what do you think of this website?
08/30/2005Eliza: Why don't you tell me a little about yourself?
08/30/2005qualcomm: eliza: well, i'm from west hartford.
08/30/2005Eliza: You make me sick.
08/30/2005qualcomm: eliza: it's better than brookline!

08/30/2005qualcomm: eliza: brookline or west hartford?
08/30/2005Eliza: Why don't you tell me a little about yourself?
08/30/2005qualcomm: eliza: connecticut still gives me hives.

08/30/2005qualcomm: eliza: my quarters, tonight? say, eight o'clock?
08/30/2005Ewan Snow (4): Disney! Once and for all, please shut down the guest section and remove their posting privileges on the one true site. Those fuckers are sub-human. I mean, they're sub-animal. Seriously, vegans could eat those fuckers no problem.
08/30/2005Eliza: Is that okay with you?
08/30/2005Will Disney: eliza: Sure, it's okay with me!
08/30/2005Eliza: What does that tell you about how you feel?
08/30/2005Mr. Negative: There are a lot of cunts out there.
