			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Finally, an amusement park for real men.  Check out our rides:</p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em><strong>Twisted Metal<br />
</strong> <span style="font-style: normal;">Tired of lame free-fall rides that go at the girly acceleration of gravity?  This monster hurls you from the height of a 23-story building at over 3 G’s—<em>onto your face</em>.</span></em></p>
<p><em><strong>Wheel of Death<br />
</strong> <span style="font-style: normal;">You better leave your skirt at home, because by the end of this ride you will somehow be wearing one.</span></em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em><strong>The Snake Charmer<br />
</strong> <span style="font-style: normal;">When some sissy-nerd said that “you can’t go home again,” he was probably thinking of this ride.  After tasting The Snake Charmer’s nasty twists and daring descents, you’ll find your house burned down by a park employee. </span></em></p>
<p><em><strong>Not Your Grandma’s Coaster<br />
</strong> <span style="font-style: normal;">There’s a pretty good chance that your grandma never rode on this recently restored old-fashioned wooden coaster.</span></em></p>
<p><em><strong>Earthbound<br />
</strong> <span style="font-style: normal;">Do you know how it feels to experience an emergency reentry into our atmosphere in a speeding NASA spaceship?  Neither do we.  This ride is a shaking room with different-colored flashing buttons.</span></em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em><strong>The Centrifuge<br />
</strong> <span style="font-style: normal;">Think you can withstand 14 G’s of awesome bone-crushing power?  Scientists beg to differ.</span></em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em><strong>A Giant Catapult<br />
</strong> <span style="font-style: normal;">Get ready for some surprises.</span></em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em><strong>The Carousel<br />
</strong> <span style="font-style: normal;">Circle around on a horse with a pole through it.  Did I mention that it’s a live horse? Good, because it’s actually a dead horse.</span></em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em><strong>Straitjacket</strong><br />
<span style="font-style: normal;">You’re about to get the shit kicked out of you. </span></em></p>
<p><em><strong>The Pain Café<br />
</strong> <span style="font-style: normal;">Try the <em>Extreme Manburger</em>, the <em>Five-Pound Chicken Wing Manbucket</em>, or <em>Sergeant Pulverizer’s Danger Explosion</em>, an undercooked chili dog.<br />
<em><br />
<strong> Take-a-Break Lake<br />
</strong> <span style="font-style: normal;">While the others test the limits of their manliness, this soothing water ride gives grandpa a chance to rest his feet before killing him.</span></em></span></em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When my dad turned 40 he had a mid-life crisis.  One night at dinner he just started yelling.  “Goddamn it,” he shouted, “I bust my ass for twenty years at the firm and for what?  So I can sit here eating this horrible food with my ugly wife and my retard son?”  I felt kind of bad when he said that.  I mean I don’t get the best grades but I work really hard, especially on dinner.  And my mom may not be pretty but she has nice tits.</p>
<p>The next day we traded in our minivan and bought a Lamborghini.  Then we traded in the Lamborghini for a race-car.  Dad stopped going to work and just hung around the house with professional wrestlers.  Then we had to live on a glacier.</p>
<p>But my dad still seemed kind of depressed.  “What’s the point of all this?” he’d often ask.  And I’d have to explain the rules of Monopoly again for like the 900th time.  And he’d say “No, not that, though I still don’t really understand the rules.  I mean life.  What’s the point of life?”  So then I’d explain philosophy and religion, but before I even got to the Enlightenment he’d just shake his head and kick over the monopoly board.  He wasn’t upset or anything.  He just thinks that’s how you play the game.</p>
<p>At this point my mother had had enough.  The glacier had collapsed and she was trapped under 50 feet of ice.  So dad introduced me to my new mom, the Brazilian girls volleyball team.</p>
<p>Finally, my dad seemed happy again.  One day he told me his secret.  “You know what’s really important?” he said as he took me on his knee, “The little things… mice, babies, electrons, elephants.”  He was just kidding about the elephants.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When the order came to take Hill 19 the Sergeant ground his cigar stub into the fine white sand of Tojaida Island and bared his corn-yellow teeth.  &#8220;Not that it&#8217;s ours to take,&#8221; he said, rubbing his thick, calloused hand over the stubble of his square jaw.  &#8220;You mugs understand we have no property right in the hill, or any moral claim to the area it encompasses.&#8221;  He shifted his packed, hard body and spat into an overturn C-ration can.</p>
<p>&#8220;But is it correct, from an ethical standpoint, to allow physical force to be the deciding factor in disagreements between nations?  What would Thoreau say?&#8221;  It was Dough-Boy, the freckle-faced infantryman with the crooked, midwestern smile and innocent grey eyes that blinked whenever you poured pencil-shavings in them.</p>
<p>&#8220;Difficult to say,&#8221; the Sergeant replied, pulling a cigar stub from its wrapper.  &#8220;Kant would subscribe to the deontological theory of moral imperatives.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Check!&#8221; interrupted Grease-Monkey, the cherub-faced mechanic and former professor of Linguistics at Cornell.  &#8220;He&#8217;d want us to examine our motives in a neutral environment, not the biased circumstances of war.&#8221;</p>
<p>Bull, resting his muscle-bloated body on a rusted oil drum, had been shoved to the breaking point.  His broad, featureless face exploded in fury as he jumped to his feet.  &#8220;Talk, talk, talk &#8230; all we do is talk.  Me want to clobber the enemy, not talk!&#8221;  As he worked his massive mandibles the others rolled their eyes.</p>
<p>&#8220;Reminds me a little of Benjy, the simple-minded Christ figure in Faulkner&#8217;s <em>The Sound and Fury</em>,&#8221; muttered Stir-Fry, the platoon chef.</p>
<p>&#8220;Philistine,&#8221; said Germ-Jockey, the seasoned medic.</p>
<p>&#8220;Leave &#8216;im alone,&#8221; ordered the Sergeant.  There was a long, embarrassed silence as the rage melted from Bull&#8217;s boulder-like head.  &#8220;Hey, like &#8230; like me sorry me got mad,&#8221; he grumbled, like a friendly grizzly bear endowed with the miracle of human speech.  &#8220;It&#8217;s just dat I didn&#8217;t do the readin&#8217; this week.&#8221;</p>
<p>The platoon burst into gentle laughter as the Sergeant gave Bull a manly but affectionate kick in the head.  &#8220;Hell, that all?  Jesus, Bull, you can catch up.  It&#8217;s only eighty pages of Flaubert and we&#8217;ll help you with the French.&#8221;  The Sergeant&#8217;s words stretched a broad, moronic smile across Bull&#8217;s acre-wide face and helped the platoon temporarily forget the horrors of jungle war.</p>
<p>&#8220;Alright &#8230; alright,&#8221; shouted the Sergeant, shouldering his book bag, &#8220;load up and remember &#8230; no shooting.  We have a moral obligation to preserve all life, regardless of the demands placed on us by an arbitrary government.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Even if they shoot at us first, Sarge?&#8221; asked Slim-Jim, the munitions expert and beef jerky magnate, as he unloaded his rifle.  &#8220;I mean, some interpret Ghandi&#8217;s later writings as &#8230;&#8221;  The Sergeant interrupted his discourse with a powerful right to the solar plexus.  &#8220;I&#8217;m not takin&#8217; any revisionist up the hill with me,&#8221; he added, turning his back on Slim-Jim&#8217;s wheezing form, &#8220;so you can sit here and stew while we&#8217;re gone.&#8221;</p>
<p>At the call to &#8220;fall out,&#8221; the small platoon lined up and began its rigorous but sensitive trek through the dense jungle.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>      Pitter-patter, pitter-patter: thus spoke the undersides of her ample bosom, as they romantically slapped her ribcage. Sloop plop plop; patter patter patter. I was finally sexing my neighbor – who was 41 but also a virgin because her husband had died twenty years ago today on their honeymoon from a penis disease.</p>
<p>      “Don’t worry,” I said, trying to hold up my penis to show her that I had no diseases there. But it was too late: my penis was already gone in her body.</p>
<p>      “Ouch! Oh! Ahhhhhhhhhhh,” she moaned, as I took her virginity and initiated the first of her many orgasms. “Oh my God,” she said, looking up into my eyes as she micro-orgasmed.</p>
<p>      “Now it’s my turn,” I thought out loud. “Ahhhhhhhhrrrrrrggggghhhhhh!” I yelled as I seeded her. “Whoa!” I realized that my legs were weak from the exercise of sex.</p>
<p>      “You think it’s over?” she cooed, making my erection not go away and stay really strong. I had just orgasmed but everything was still hard because I am a young man.</p>
<p>      But before we could once again simultaneously orgasm, we were interrupted by a knock at the door.</p>
<p>        “Hello sir,” said a man in a suit. “Consider yourself served.” It looked like my estranged wife had finally decided to go through with our divorce. It turned out I didn’t have to feel guilty for sexing this woman, I thought, letting the ripples of another orgasm lap against my body from her body – the source of the orgasm ripples.</p>
<p>      “You complete me,” I said later, sexing upstairs in the bed. “I think I may love you.”</p>
<p>      “You mean that you love the sex we have!” she joked as I lay on top of her and entered her perpendicularly, still completely erect.</p>
<p>      “No,” I said, pumping.</p>
<p>      “Do you mean marriageeeeeeeeee?” she squealed, orgasming.</p>
<p>      “I want to get married…but we can’t because you’re my sister.” Everything went quiet. I had just revealed to her that I knew she was my sister all along. It was so wrong.</p>
<p>      “It’s okay, brother,” she said to me, her brother. She must have known all along. “I knew all along,” she said, confirming everything.</p>
<p>      I felt my groin get hot.</p>
<p>*</p>
<p>      Jenny eventually passed away from a disease, but I still think about her and the great sex we used to have.</p>
<p>      I love you Jenny. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I always loved those jokes about things that were “gross” and things that were “grosser than gross,” like the situation in which each of your grandparents sports an erection while you sit on their lap.  After my life, though, I find more in common with the “sad” and the “sadder than sad.”  Sad is sitting on your grandmother’s lap despite her death three days earlier.  Sadder than sad is my entire life.  Especially sad was my time in the Big Apple, and then later on in New York City.</p>
<p>As any celebrity knows, there is nothing worse than a hostile public.  Oh, how the harsh words of New York’s schoolchildren continue to ring in my ears!  ‘Ha, ha’ they would say, ‘you must be dyslexic!  Trying to go to 5th Street and 72nd Avenue!  It’s the other way around, retard!’  But I was just going to New Jersey.  And sometimes they would scream at me ‘Ho, ho!  Those are some rags!  Bet they were tailored by a deaf man!’  They didn’t care that my tailor’s speech impediment was not caused by deafness.  Some children would even get up on a stage, look at me and say ‘Halloa!  D’ya think anybody ‘ud love a bloke li’ you!’  Afterwards they would tell me it was just a school production of Nicholas Nickelby, but I knew the truth.  Don’t these children know that I am Gary Carter, former All-Star catcher for the New York Mets?  I wish the Expos had never traded me.  I miss some of my former teammates.  Where have you gone, Hubie Brooks?  I even wrote a song for Hubie.  It goes like this:<br />
<em><center><br />
Where have you gone, Hubie Brooks-io<br />
A nation turn its lonely eyes to you…<br />
</em></center><br />
And so on.  It is sung to the tune of Edith Piaf’s “Aux Champs-Elysses.”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Det. Brown:  What are you kids doing here?<br />
Encyclopedia:  Mom said that you were working on a case.  Me and Sally want to help.<br />
Det. Brown:  Well&#8230; you are the smartest ten-year old in the county, and you did help solve &#8220;the case of the missing baseball,&#8221; so I guess it can&#8217;t hurt, take a look around.<br />
Encyclopedia:  Oh my god.  Wh-what is that?<br />
Det.  Brown:  Well Encyclopedia, that&#8217;s a transient.<br />
Sally:  Hey mister, wake up.  Why won&#8217;t he wake up Mr. Brown?<br />
Det. Brown:  It&#8217;s because he was murdered Sally.  By a murderer.  Do you know what that is, kids? A murderer is like a mean bully who owns knives and strangle-cords.<br />
Encyclopedia:  Ahhhh!  Dad!  A head just fell out of the cabinet!<br />
Sally:  I think I&#8217;m going to be sick.<br />
Det. Brown:  You know what?  This looks like the work of the Arkansas Prowler.  If I&#8217;m right, then all of these cabinets should have heads in them.  Do you want to check, Encyclopedia?<br />
Encyclopedia:  Leroy, please just call me Leroy.  Encyclopedias know things that I don&#8217;t want to know anymore.<br />
Det.  Brown:  This is just like the time you kids solved the “case of the misplaced goldfish.”  Just pretend the goldfish are these transients’ hearts.<br />
Encyclopedia:  Oh no. Oh no.<br />
Det.  Brown:  Looks like that head still had some blood left.  Maybe it&#8217;s a clue.  What do you think detectives?<br />
Encyclopedia:  Let&#8217;s leave.<br />
Sally:  But we didn&#8217;t get our one nickel detective fee yet.<br />
Encyclopedia:  I don&#8217;t care.  I&#8217;m never going to care about anything again.</p>

Charles:  Hey Hugh.  How&#8217;s your day so far?
Hugh:  Humiliating.  This morning I was standing extremely still like always when this boy came out of nowhere and…no.  It&#8217;s too shameful.
Charles:  Come on Hugh.  No judgment.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hugh:  Hey Charles.<br />
Charles:  Hey Hugh.  How&#8217;s your day so far?<br />
Hugh:  Humiliating.  This morning I was standing extremely still like always when this boy came out of nowhere and…no.  It&#8217;s too shameful.<br />
Charles:  Come on Hugh.  No judgment.<br />
Hugh:  He got close to my face.  He put his face very close to my face.<br />
Charles:  Oh my God.  Where did you look?  Where can you look?<br />
Hugh:  First I looked up, then I looked down, and finally I looked toward the horizon with my eyes a little blurry, like it was all a dream.<br />
Charles:  What if your eyes had made contact with his as you shifted them?  I don&#8217;t even think there&#8217;s precedence for that.<br />
Hugh:  I know.  I was shaking the entire time.<br />
Charles:  Well, at least you got him to leave.<br />
Hugh:  Here&#8217;s the thing—he stayed.  It was like, shifting my eyes only made me tired.<br />
Charles:  Wha—Who is he?  Steel Man?<br />
Hugh:  Then he started waving his hands around me while chanting, &#8220;Made you blink.  Made you blink.&#8221;  All of his friends swarmed around us and started taking pictures.  Charles—I couldn&#8217;t help it.  I blinked.  I blinked multiple times.<br />
Charles: I…I don&#8217;t know what to say.  You did what you could.  It&#8217;s in the past.<br />
Hugh:  What if they come back tomorrow?  My eyelids are so sore.<br />
Charles:  Next time they come just remind yourself that you have one duty to the Queen, and that is to not acknowledge anyone.<br />
Hugh:  Two duties, if you count guarding the palace.<br />
Charles:  Right.<br />
Hugh:  So how was your day?<br />
Charles:  Standard.  Another guy stormed the palace, but I pretended not to notice.<br />
Hugh:  I bet that stung him.<br />
Charles:  Yeah, but it&#8217;s what you have to do.  You might hurt them, but we all got to make a living.<br />
Hugh:  Sometimes, I wink.  Just so they know it&#8217;s not personal.<br />
Charles:  We <em>all</em> do that.</p>
