Three-Way FUQ
Q: Just how ugly are you?
A: Ok, so that’s a post unto itself. Just how ugly am I? Let me count the ways…
1. Have you ever heard the term ‘a face that can stop a clock’? Actually I’m not as ugly as that, thank god. However, I am ugly enough to
actually slow down a clock. All the timekeeping devices that I have ever owned, watches, wall clocks, alarm clocks, etc.,
slows down at least five minutes every month. I don’t know what the fuck’s going on. But I surmise, that either my face creates like a mini time-warp, or the clocks are so shocked at my face that they go all a-flutter and forget to keep time.
2. You probably heard ‘a face only a mother can love’. My mother regularly looks up at me, shakes her head, and say, “You’re one ugly fucker. I can’t believe that face came outta my womb. Maybe you were switched in the hospital, or something.” And yes, my mother talks in exactly the same way as I do.
3. Have you ever seen
The Munsters, where
Herman looks at a mirror and it’ll crack because he’s so ugly? Well, I don’t quite approach that plateau of ugliness, but still,
my face actually tarnish the silver backings on a mirror. Every mirror I ever had, after a few months, it starts going blurry. So I look, and the silver reflective backing is coming off in places, and in other places, there’s like this greenish growth on it. And if the mirror is left long enough, the glass in the mirror itself undergoes a chemical transition and it turns all mottled and brown.
The glass actually turns brown.
4. I am enjoined by
ICANN to not post my picture on the Internet, lest it brings down the backbone. Remember like 2 and a half years ago when the Internet on the eastern seaboard went down for like 4 hours? That was when I tried to email my friend, who’s living in Philadelphia, one of the pictures that we took when he visited me here on this island. Fortunately, it did not bring down the Internet itself because I was only one of like 6 people who were on the picture. If it was like a solo picture, I don’t wanna imagine what would’ve happened. Also,
UL is after my ass, because my face on a PC monitor is a fire hazard. If you have a good monitor, then all it does is burn the image in a bit. But if you have a crappy monitor, my face on it is liable to make it explode.
5. And then there are other minor things. Like one sight of my face will cause heart attacks, strokes, seizures, mental illness, and make babies cry nonstop for 6 hours. It’s a wonder they even let me outside.
I was such a good looking baby, I don’t understand why or when or where it happened. I think my peak year was when I was 2. I blame it all on porno magazines and heavy metal music. Yeah, that’s the ticket.
