Weird Web Sites


 

Eagle's Nest Tours: For those of you that don't know, the Eagle's Nest was sort of a home away from home for Adolph Hitler; a place where he could wind down after a hard week of plotting to conquer the world and spend quality time with his lovable dog Blondi, girlfriend Eva, pal Hermann Göring, and the rest of the gang. I never dreamed before discovering this web site that the Allies would neglect to blow the goddamn thing up.

CIA's Homepage for Kids: This is not an independent web site. This web site is operated by the CIA and paid for by American tax dollars to promote itself to children. In all fairness, other departments of the U.S. government have web sites for children. I know this because the CIA has a link to them. Those guys know everything...

Jew Watch: Jew Watch is an eclectic sight. There are links to everything from Karl Marx's Communist Manifesto to Adolph Hitler's Mein Kampf. My favorite part of the site is the list of known Jews. I was elated to learn that both Elvis Presley and Bob Marley are my Jewish brothers. Learning that Alicia Silverstone was Jewish gave me fodder for the following fantasy:

 

By chance, one of my screenplays is discovered by a Hollywood Producer. Suddenly I am not an impoverished, perpetually girlfriendless loser but a big-shot screenwriter with a full head of hair. (Now I can afford Sy Sperling's Hair Club for Men.)

I'm at a Hollywood party hanging with all the cuties.

I see Alicia Silverstone with a glass a champagne dangling in her hand, alone, looking bored.

ME: Hi, my name's Dickie.

ALICIA: Are you that screenwriter?

ME: I'm not sure if I'm that screenwriter. But I write screenplays.

ALICIA: You're Dickie Richards?

ME: That's me.

ALICIA: A bastard casting agent didn't give me a part in one of your movies.

ME: Tell me the son-of-bitch's name and I'll see that he never works in this town again.

ALICIA: No, that's alright. You don't have to go through all that trouble.

ME: I insist!

ALICIA: No, it's alright. He's also my brother-in-law. I don't want to get him in trouble.

ME: Say, you like kishkes? I know the best Jewish delicatessen in L.A.?

ALICIA: I would fucking kill for a good kishke right now.

ME: They're still open...

ALICIA: Let's get out of here.

The fantasy gets much more involved and intimate once we leave the deli and head to her place. We even get married. She bares me 9 children. I think it's way too much kids but she really loves children. What am I supposed to do, deny her her motherly instincts? I am not only a reproductively prolific husband but a caring husband. I go on to write her a part for a movie that is even juicier than "Clueless." While she is on the platform receiving her Academy Award, in tears she thanks me for believing in her. She blows me a kiss. I blow it right back at her.

Oh, give a poor guy a break. So what if I'm a little delusional. A man dream can't he?
