Fireland

La Cuchara De La Mostaza / 5 June 2001

[A one-act play constructed from excerpts of emails I’ve sent over the past month, in reverse chronological order.]

PROFESSOR ELMER: And plus, I’m supposed to be reading and listening to lyrics at the same time? What am I, some super-cyborg? Screw THAT and also screw YOU.

MADAME 09: BOO HOO! That hurts my feelers! Don’t lash out at me just because your ignorance was exposed to the whole world!

PE: COME HOEM! Look, I can’t even spell, I’m so distraught.

M09: I was hard-coding when you were still sucking yo mama’s limp dick.

PE: She’ll be sort of draped around my shoulders like a mink stole.

M09: I assume I was allowed to tell you. Hoo hoo!

PE: Dude, that’s just sad.

M09: I just drank the shit out of that Code Red.

PE: Holy shitpants is this great.

M09: I’m eating ice cream and doing the laundry in your honor.

PE: Maybe it’d be less gross if my sentence was rewritten to be more accurate, something like: “It sure feels nice to type now that my fingernails have been clipped!”

M09: Mmhmm. Ahaha. Hmmm. Yes. YES.

PE: I’ll be wearing my Party Pants, as usual (they’re the plaid ones with the tear-away crotch, remember?).

M09: I know for a fact that is not the truth, so you better just eat delicious gummi worms.

PE: As for me, I’ve been concentrating my efforts on accomplishing two basic things: jack, and shit. And I’ve been doing a tremendous job, if I may toot my own horn for a second.

M09: I checked and evidently it’s a “mustard spoon.”

PE: You two-bit craphead! OK, I feel better, and I’m sorry for saying that.

M09: Hope all is well out there and tell Grandmama to pop a valium for me.
