Good or Evil? Either Way, I'm Gonna Be Famous!!

A reader left the following comment on my post from Monday ,which dealt with how the remnants of Ike played havoc on the Bagwine community…

“I quote part of your post from Jay's blog last week that I felt was rather sad when I read it.

"Anything that Ike does to Texas can only be an improvement."

I guess it came back to bite you in the ass. Hmmm...doesn't surprise me.

Would you like some cheese with that "whine"?

Sorry, but you tend to have no regards to how impacting your words can be. Have you watched the devistation of Galviston?”


It’s funny, I predicted only moderate damage for Galveston and little to none for Bagwine, Ohio. In both cases, the opposite happened.

This comment and the results, gave me pause to ponder. It made me question whether or not my moral compass needs to be re-calibrated.

It made me wonder what type of person dwells deep within my inner-core…or something like that.

I have narrowed down who I am, to two distinct beings. Please, follow me, if you will…

I have, for most of my life been drawn towards women who were older than me…women who were on the voluptuous side.


Women who also had medium to long dark hair, and wore more than an average amount of make-up, and well…had really big boobs.

Then, nearly eight years ago, I shacked up in sin with a slightly younger woman…a thin-ish woman. A woman who had blondish hair (it’s red now).


A woman who wears very little make-up, and well…her boobs are pretty big.

I mean, I must have access to a nice set of fun bags. But, other than her ample milk mounds, she is yet another opposite happening in my life.

I love Champagne. I could drink it everyday, brush my teeth with it, and bathe in it. And yet, in opposite Matt-Man fashion, the libation I purchase is, Wild Irish Rose.

I told many that a McCain/Palin ticket was a joke.


Now, the opposite has happened. Their numbers are rising, and the ticket, for all practical purposes is actually, a Palin/McCain ticket.

I said to Schmoop prior to the game this past Saturday, that even though Michigan isn’t very good this year, our beloved Notre Dame will lose to them, at home, 35-17.

What happened? Notre Dame won, 35-17. My words and actions are a series of opposite effects.

Lastly, my favorite number and one that I find lucky is, 999. And what is the opposite of that? That’s right… Turn it upside down and it is 666.

Holy Baby Jeebus!! I am the fricking Anti-Christ...!!

Jeebus, being the all-powerful Son of God, wills and thinks exactly what he wants to be done. My thoughts and desires elicit the opposite effect.

Also…

He had long hair; I have little. He was Jewish; I love bacon.

He was the product of an immaculate conception; I was born due to my mom and dad trying to sneak one in while their other eight kids were asleep.

The only thing that we have in common is height. Purportedly, Jeebus was exactly 6 feet tall. I am exactly 6 feet tall as well.

Which, makes me ponder beyond my initial conclusion.

Am I the Anti-Christ? Or, because I think that I am, I am actually the opposite?

Am I actually Christ himself, and after years of watching stupid people fuck things up, I have returned to Earth with a Messiah-Sized sense of scorn and sarcasm ?

I just don’t know…or do I?


Cheers!!

This isn't all that surprising to be honest. Could you do us all a favor and start telling everyone McCain is going to win by a landslide? I would really appreciate it.

Schmoop said...

Knight: Really? I never realized my own powers. I did predict on Mt. Cat's site last week that McCain would win. Cheers!!

Jay said...

Your Opposite Man! And your Superpowers are to predict the opposite of what is going to happen.

So, go ahead and predict that I WILL NOT win the lottery this weekend.

Thanks. ;-)

Schmoop said...

Jay: Unfortunately Jay, I am thinking that you will...and...so will I. Sucks, doesn't it?

Cinnamon Girl said...

Gosh I personally think you are more Bacon Man than Opposite Man. Either way though you gotta get a gnarly cape. Fer Shur.

Oh and just in case...

THE POWER OF BACON COMPELS YOU!

Schmoop said...

Starr: No you didn't... Once again our like-mindedness abounds.

I was going to shoot a new picture, but I didn't have time to thaw out the bacon and make a crown out of it. Ha. Freaky. Cheers!!

Cinnamon Girl said...

OOOHHHH! And a scepter made of spam!

Schmoop said...

Starr: Ha. I was considering using that for my crown when the bacon wasn't thawed. The only problem was...I hate to waste SPAM. Cheers!!

Lu' said...

First off this is no way to achieve an afore mentioned desire, with acknowledgement...
Hmm not sure if I see the resemblance, get naked and stand with your arms out stretched and feet crossed. I'm going to hell for that one aren't I? Nope, a couple of Hail Marys and a nickle in the collection plate and I should be good to go, up. I kid Lord, no harm intended (a little insurance) Must be your influence, Matt-satan. What, you can make people do and say things? Do you walk tall and have a big stick, I mean carry a big stick? Watch where you wave that thing.

Vodka Mom said...

christ, we've been looking for you everywhere!

however, the McCain/Palin thing is scaring the crap out of me.............

Schmoop said...

Kat: Ha. That's what I am praying for. And y'know...so your boobs may not be as big...you make up for it providing me with that taboo desire of interpolitical sex. Cheers Kat!!

Lu: I beg to disagree. I was really horny the other day and desired sex. Next thing you know I was fantasizing about Tyra Banks and whackin' away. See? Cheers Lu!!

Vodka: It's become less than funny as I am concerened as well, but man, she is a hoot to make fun of. Cheers VM!!

Liz Hill said...

LMAO

Well then you'd better do your best to back McSame and Caribou Barbi;-)

Unknown said...

...you, my friend, have officially stepped into that wacky place known as The Bizzaro World......Live for the day! (or night)....

Schmoop said...

TB: I know. I may be able to affect the outcome of this election after all!! Cheers!!

Schmoop said...

Phfrankie: Ha. Ya think? I have mind powers, ya know. Cheers P-Man!!

Real Live Lesbian said...

Should I be tattooing 999 on my forehead?

You know I want to be supportive. ;)

Schmoop said...

RLL: By all means, apply the mark of the Matt-Man. Mmmmmm, noboby supports like you do. Cheers!!

Cheesy said...

Send me the lotto numbers baby...
Good thing I reverse #'s in my head... so it's a win win!

Cinnamon Girl said...

555 Neighborhood of the Beast. I am changing my address effective now.

And I never said you couldn't eat the scepter. Which now that I think about it sounds a wee bit pornographic ;)

Schmoop said...

Cheesy: I WON'T send you the numbers and you WON'T split your money with me when you LOSE. There!! I think we are all set Cheesy!!

Schmoop said...

Starr: That might be wise. And yes, that does sound pornographic, but ohhhhh sooooo Hot when you utter it. Cheers!!

Cinnamon Girl said...

As in "whip out that scepter of spam, Satan-O?"

Schmoop said...

Starr: Ooooo Baby. Let's make sin. Cheers!!

Cinnamon Girl said...

Can we have cake with out sin? How bout an entire Matty Gras type celebration?

Schmoop said...

Starr: Matty-Gras!? Damn, how did I miss thinking of that? I have some beads for youuuuu. Cheers!!

Desert Songbird said...

For some reason, my mind is not functioning well. I could not come up with a single witty, cynical, or even remotely amusing comment.

Curse you Bacon Man. You've warped me.

Although, like Katherine, I was going down the physical attributes check list...

Check, check, check, kinda, check...

Schmoop said...

Songbird: "Curse you Bacon Man." Ha. Good One.

Well...Based solely on your checklist we could get together and have sex that was 80% really good. Cheers!!

Desert Songbird said...

Damn. My life's story - sex that is "sorta great."

Schmoop said...

Songbird: Yeah, but keep in mind; my 80% is most peoples' 125%. Cheers!!

"scorn and sarcasm"

I know them well. I find them to be the marks of 2 basic types of people.

Pretentious Full-Of-Thy-Self Asshats - it's easy to spot them. They nail the scorn dead on but fuck up the sarcasm big time cause they just ain't too bright.

And then there's folks like us. I hope I may lump myself in with you. Lord I'd love to lump with you.

My feeling is that there are folks with huge big hearts. Often they have had to deal with really fucked up things and they just can't be serious all of the time, hell not even half the time. What the fuck does serious get us anyway? Do I need to moan and rock at the wailing wall to prove I care. Or could I make people laugh and assume (or hope) that they get it.

I think the comment you quoted is absolutely valid. Nothing I haven't told myself many times. About me - and about you. Sometimes I read something here and have to go away and come back later cause my initial reaction is to smack you and ask - WTF!? Who the fuck are you!?

And I love that - viseral gut reactions are good. they keep us human juicy and give us ways to think about the fucked up insanity of the world without all the rocking and wailing. It is impossible to get dressed in the morning if you're rocking and wailing - trust me, I spent years trying.

Balance and moderation have their place. I know that. BUT - when you're trying to say something to folks on a scrolling screen - well balance and moderation just doesn't do it.

I love tight rope walkers. I adore people who push the envelope while crossing the line.

I believe if there were more of those folks we might, as a human race, actually get somewhere.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Schmoop said...

Ha. Yes, you have mentioned that at times you say WTF? when reading me.

But as we both know, not that I am Carlin or anything, that he always said something to the effect that it is a comedian's job to find that fine line and then intentionally cross it.

And please feel free to make my day and lump with me. Mmmmmm, I'd like that...alot!! Cheers Di!!

Ed & Jeanne said...

Are you matt-man or am I matt-man projecting myself onto the screen for my own entertainment. Did Christ wear brief or boxers or did he go commando. Indeed...there are so many puzzling questions out there. Oh well. I think I'll go have some bacon. Oh...and my post today is RIGHT up your alley if you need political guidance...I've seen the light...

Dianne said...

Matty - you may not BE Carlin but he would have fucking LOVED you!

I'm putting on tons of make-up in anticpation of lumping with you.

Schmoop said...

VE: I'll be over to seek your guidance. I usually wear boxers, so Christ probably wears lamb skin briefs. He has got to contain that Prophetic Penis somehow.

Dianne: Ha. Well thank you, you "get me"...Oh, and please, tons of eyeliner, brow pencil, and rouge Di, I really like the quasi-hooker look. Let's Lump!! Cheers!!

Schmoop said...

Evil: I'll hold ya, Evil...I'll hold ya. Cheers EG!!

Schmoop said...

Leighann: What? Did you want me to hold you too? Cheers!!

Vinny "Bond" Marini said...

So, what you are saying...or at least what I read is that you have created your own Bizarro World and we are the mere inhabitants

Marilyn said...

Please say that I will not be able to pay off all my creditors by this time tomorrow with enough left over for groceries. Thanks.

Travis Cody said...

Can you do that thingy again with Notre Dame for this weekend?

Schmoop said...

Bond: The visions and antithetical utterances simply come to me in holy or unholy way. Cheers!!

Marilyn: If I have a vision of that I shall surely pass it on to you. Cheers!!

Travis: Do you think that that will be enough? Cheers Travis!!

Dana said...

I just can't seem to get past how HAWT you look in those flames. I think I can actually smell the SPAM frying!

If we can't laugh at ourselves, and the absurdity of what we say at times, what good are we??

Schmoop said...

Dana: I am SPAM-a-Licious. Damn straight Dana, and I usually laugh at myself more than anyone or anything else. Cheers!!

Lex Valentine said...

I love how you posted the comment complete with misspellings, bad grammar and incorrect usage. You're so hot when you do that.

Schmoop said...

Winter: Ha. That's how I roll. Cheers!!
