I think I've known B for around five years now. We first worked together on a site called Wrestling Uncensored, where racist jokes about professional wrestlers helped a bunch of us literary hopefuls feel creative. From there we fought for the same side during the early days of X-Entertainment, ultimately deciding that our phony careers would be better served by fighting, feuding and plotting each other's deaths. I won't go into the saucy details because they're pretty boring and, barring a clever word-weaving, they'll make me look bad.

Point is, we were both involved with these bullshit article sites before everyone on the planet seemed to have one, dating back to a time when most were getting by posting images of feces, tits or feces on tits. In some ways I guess this led to a kinship between us, one that nearly makes us forget how much we hate each other. I can't say for sure how long our mutual understanding will last, but even when I'm back to doodling pictures of B's head being chewed up by giant insects, I won't be able to discount his abilities. B is a terrific writer. This is his one true love and his passion is unparalleled, and I only mention this to point out how rare it is to find that -- online or off. I have a tremendous respect for the PB team, because it's one of the only sites where reputation, hits and notoriety are absolutely secondary to the writing. I very much hope that this site's readers understand the gem they've bookmarked. You'll find a thousand slicker web mags than this, but the people who bring 'em to you won't care half as much as these guys. And gal.

They'll never be able to tell you how much harder they work and how much more they pour into it without sounding like dicks, so I'll take those reigns.

Anyways, here's B's latest "Invades" article, the point of my being here. I'm a huge fan of these types of posts, and have gotten quite a kick out of putting similar features together. From the perspective of the writer, the pleasure comes from finding something interesting in a place no one thought to look. The challenge is giving life to something no one particularly cares about, whether it's a place or a thing, a person or a feeling. Us material boys are cursed with empathy for inanimate objects, and while this article will surely feature a literary rape of the products viewed, smart money says that B's doing it because, in the end, even the world's shit deserves a little attention.

P-Boi Invades!!! volume 3
The Quest for Bulbasaur a Big Fat Baby crucifying Jesus
written by B on March 27th - 2004

 

In simplest terms, the "Dollar Store" is a place of business where one dollar bills can be exchanged for goods, including mostly cheap candles, cheap candle holders, and generic nondescript coloring books featuring childrens characters like "Jenny" (the frugal Barbie) or "Dora the Bored Middle-class Caucasian who Feigns Interest in Biology but Mostly Smokes Green Dutches." You know, she's the one on the cartoon who says "CERVEZA!!" and then stares at you, blinking at three-second intervals.

Everybody knows what a freaking dollar store is, right? Okay. So you'll understand the magnitude of this sentence: "Lynchburg Virginia has the greatest Dollar Store in the world." The ENTIRE world. Oh, I'm sure there's some Japanese kid with an origami calculator figuring out a way he can make a profit offering sexual services from teen Japanese girls in Hello Kitty French Maid costumes for a dollar, but until that sweet, sweet banana comes to fruitition, Wards Rd.'s "Dollar Duz It" is the greatest.

Does a Dollar really Du It? Take two dollar bills, one in each hand, and hold them up in front of you. Shake the left one up and down and say "Hey baby, how YOU doin??" in a low, manly voice. Now shake the right one up and down and say "HEE HEE" in a high-pitched girl voice, followed by "You're pretty!" Now make the right one say "Come here, baby," and then push the two dollar bills against each other, and make some sexy kissing noises. This exercise is an allegory for my misogynistic views on relationships and capitalism in America.

But to answer your question, a Dollar Duz the Fukk out of It. It has everything you could ask for in a dollar store. Bad kitchenware? Here's a pot with a hummingbird on it. Want sexy clothes? Buy a giant teal bra. Bad toys? Try out the "Special Agent Set," featuring a small toy gun with suction cup bullets, a badge, and a toy hacksaw you can use to cut the heads off GI Joes to prove your allegiance to small toy terrorists. The world (or at least the world between the quality of Goodwill and Wal-Mart) is at your fingertips!

Why do I bring this up? Because my heart has a hole in it. It could be like Carrie Otis's heart, filled with holes because of years of malnutrition and drug abuse. But no. It could be like EXTREME's heart, with a circle shaped hole that people keep trying to fill with square shaped objects, despite their desperate please that only you can fill it. First of all, if I were Extreme I would fire my surgeon. Secondly, I'd work out a way to be in a Radio Shack commercial, so I could ask "ARE YOU EXTREME'S MOST OUR BAND NAME FAN??" "PROVE IT." BUT NO. My heart is nothing like Extreme. I could rip out my heart and lay it on a pink acoustic guitar and it would make better, more masculine music than Extreme.

My heart has a hole in it because I don't own a statue of a Big Fat Baby crucifying Jesus.

I lack the materials and artistic persuasion to build this statue on my own. So I turn to the Dollar Duz It's "figurine" section.

What you see is aisle 5A, a row of figurines each priced at one dollar regardless of size, quality, or category. It's not very interesting when you look at it like this, but when you actually walk it and see the figurines you begin to understand exactly why this is article-worthy, and why I felt the need to share some of my greatest Dollar Duz It acquisitions with the P-Boi Audience.

Please believe me when I say that all of these items are REAL and pictured 100% unaltered from their original Dollar Duz It sale appearance. By owning and displaying these items I stress that I do not necessarily agree with their existence. I'm not going to kid you and say that these things are easy to understand or look at. I...oh hell, let me show you.

Yes, friends, that's a little black kid with a hooded denim shirt reading "BOY" across the belly and back. I bought this at A STORE in the year 2004.

It's hard to move on in a place like this. We're the shiny buckle on the Bible belt, and as it seems the level of racism in a person is directly proportional to their level of Jesus Fishery. The concept of an African-American child or person being called "boy" because of his assumed ignorance and inferiority is so unbelievably Neanderthal and retarded to me that I can't help but cackle when I see this figurine. Look at him. He's got his pink hat (probably a Yankees hat) cocked to the side. His pants are falling down. He's brandishing a tiny golf club to hit his HUMONGOUS golf ball, and he's probably wearing that shirt as a "throwback" for some blue-jean team from the Negro League.

Basically I'm going to keep rationalizing it until I don't feel bad about the figurine. Regardless, if Ruben Studdard is seriously about offering me his sorry for 2004 just because he's trying to stuff his greasy 205 into a bunch of skanky mail-slots I should probably offer him two or three sorries for owning BOY.

Similarly racist as HOLY FUCK is the "Smiling Indian Child" Bobblehead doll, saved from a shirt that reads "HONEST INJUN" across the front by his native costume. His big headress suggests that he's the chief of his tribe despite looking maybe six years old, and his big head suggests that he's Chief Running Acromegaly.

What is it with Caucasians and their desire to kill off Indians? Having not been born in stupidity or DEADWOOD I can't understand it. A long time ago North America was very different from the way it is today. There were no highways, cars, or cities. There were no schools, malls, or restaurants. But even long, long ago, there were still communities. A community is where a group of people work, live, and have fun together. People made their own homes, food, and clothing from the plants and animals they found around them. These first Americans descended, or came, from cave men in Asia. These were the first people to live in North America. They are as important to the country as the land we walk around on. But I guess I'm a hypocrite, because I wanted to kill the Indians when Omar Visquel got a gold glove over Cal Ripken like fifty-eleven years in a row.

And now for something completely different.

An anthropomorphic vegetable harvesting vegetables. A cannibal vegetable.

When he eats a carrot, does he gain that carrots power?

This brings up an interesting point about Noah's Ark. Stay with me here:

Most people believe that God destroyed the world with a flood because of "evil men." But this isn't the case. The Bible describes angels and demons as the same thing...only angels support God, and demons don't. That's the gist. And both angels and demons can walk the Earth. So these folks are wandering the Earth and start finding human women attractive, so they mate, and make strange amalgamated human/angel babies. These things are an abomination to God, so God has to destroy the Earth to kill them. So the next time you're on an "Angel" message board and somebody starts trying to defend Connor, use this as a documented Christian example of why Connor sucks.

Before the flood, all creatures were vegetarians. Then Connor shows up, and Noah has to ride in a big boat with a bunch of animals until shit dies down. Then God tells Noah that the animals he's saved are to be used as food, because assumedly all the vegetables and/or Edna's Edibles are all under 5,000 feet of water. This one little line in the Bible has become an excuse for every Christian asshole in my hometown to condescend on me for being a vegetarian. Being a vegetarian is a sinner, because God put animals on the Earth for you to eat!

So I like to think of my little cannibal vegetarian as a hard-nosed Gothic answer to Christianity. God put animals on the Earth for me to eat? HA! I'm going to use a corer to make mouths in my tomatoes, and then stuff them with lettuce! Where's your messiah now?

So if you're stuck on an ark and it's raining non-stop, make your way to the hedgehog section of the ark to find this little fella:

Yes, not all hedgehogs are greedy in their Gollum-like speedy pursuit of gold rings, some are just trying to maintain their hairstyle. Enter HEDGEHOG WITH UMBRELLA, but enter gently, because prickly spines can prick your prick and jolt your spine! My bad but educationally literate and creative sentence brings up a good point about Noah's Ark:

Do you think Noah's son "Hamm" ever got in trouble for hanging out in the Ark Barns watching porcupines do it? For that matter, do you think Hamm ever bought a novelty jester hat or made really obviously bad puns just to live up to his name? Noah should've named his kids "God," "Jesus Lover," and "Go Holy Ghost," and then maybe his family wouldn't have had to spend like two years watching porcupines fuck each other.

That was a good point about Noah's Ark. But the weird thing about this figurine is that it appears to be a candle holder. Like the guys at the candelabra home offices got tired of making menorahs or wizard and mushroom incense holders and really wanted to fuck with the stoners and bag ladies at the Dollar Duz It.

Two animals who wouldn't have made the cut on the Ark are these country bears who have had their legs replaced with springs.

While it appears that larger bear has mastered the concept of upward mobility, it saddens me to realize that the smaller bear has given up and is okay being pushed around in a wagon.

I think the less said about handicapped people, the better. In fact, we should just ignore that handicapped people exist at all. They should have their limbs replaced with springs like these bears a la Inspector Gadget, and we should teach them between slobber spit takes and special games to shout GO GO GADGET when they want their legs to work. And even if we don't replace their legs with springs we should tell them to yell GO GO GADGET, because it would be fucking hilarious to walk into a mall and see some retarded kid yelling GO GO GADGET.

Speaking of the mentally challenged, nothing makes me laugh harder than the abstract suggestion of a DUCK WITH DOWNS.

Yes, much like the WWE's loveably special Eugene Dinsmore, this duck grabbed God's short straw.

Who is to say that a handicapped person wouldn't walk past this duck in the figurine aisle and have it give pointed definition to his difficult life? It's like Charles in Charge for the male baby-sitters...this is THEIR voice, and it's finally being heard. A mentally challenged person might not get the same kitschy joy out of
disco dancing midget that I would, so who is to say that retarded ducks aren't necessary to make the Dollar Duz It special for the special?

I AM.

WHO THE FUCK WANTS TO BUY A RETARDED DUCK.

A RETARDED DUCK.

COME ON.

He's just creepy. He's got a huge head and tiny eyes really close together. He's wearing overalls and a bowtie. So are we to believe that only ducks with problems wear clothes? Can we assume that if we pass a pond and there's a mallard just chilling there being a duck that he's somehow better at cognitive thought and deductive reasoning? That the mallard in question won't just randomly grunt while I'm trying to wait his family's table at a restaurant, causing me to look at him funny and feel bad that I sneered at a retarded kid in front of said family?

What can I say? He's kinda cute, even if I can't figure out why he exists or why he's carrying a heart on a spring. But don't think I dislike retarded people for being mentally different from me, that's not the case. Have you ever read anything I've written on the Internet? If you have, you know that it took me like 400 thoughts before I even figured out he was retarded.

The first 200 or so were about how difficult it'd be for Kurt Angle to put a duck with feet that big in the ankle lock.

Hey, look, I found a figurine of ProBo's own writer/director Jon Bois!

And now here's Abraham Lincoln on the toilet.

Okay, I'll admit, there's some evidence to this not actually being Abraham Lincoln on the toilet.

1) He's dressed like a big boy scout.
2) The thing he's squatting on looks more like a fountain than a toilet, complete with a Valerie Vomit Garbage Pail Kid trying to escape from inside the walls.
3) He's holding a hammer and a pot, and is sitting over a pile of dirty/broken dishes.

So the story as we can deduct is that there is a boy scout who looks like Abraham Lincoln with Abraham Lincoln's signature facial hair who has decided to take a break from smashing his dishes with a hammer by sitting in a fountain or well or toilet. I think I speak for everyone reading that it is a) funnier and b) more logical to think of this as Abraham Lincoln on the toilet.

LITTLE KNOWN QUOTE! "Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal, especially when SITTING ON A TOILET BREAKING DISHES." Lincoln's Gettysburg Address on November 19, 1863. LITTLE KNOWN QUOTE!

 

LITTLE KNOWN BURT REYNOLDS COWBOY

If there can be an argument against the Presidential prowess of the Lincoln/toilet fiasco, there can be no argument denying the Old West Burt Reynoldsocity of Burt Reynolds Cowboy.

Can we explain this one at all? Maybe it's Burt's great-great grandfather "Griff Reynolds," a rootin' tootin' gunfighter with a penchant for falling into large piles of manure, and by "large piles of manure" I mean the great-great grandmother of Loni Anderson.

Okay, I'm 24 fucking years old, give me a break. I've watched SNL (and MadTV), and if Saturday Night Live has taught me anything it's that

1) Burt Reynolds was a celebrity who was married to Loni Anderson.
2) Burt Reynolds is a jerk who chews gun and is kind of weasly.
3) Burt Reynolds is bad at Jeopardy.

And if MadTV has taught me anything it's that Burt Reynolds was a frightening man-child with a rosy complexion who liked to kick people and then show them that he could jump poorly.

I am desperately and sadly a child of popular culture. So to end this segment about Burt Reynolds Cowboy, here is a picture of The Self-proclaimed World's Greatest Tag Team finishing him off.

This brings up an interesting fact about Noah's Ark:

Destinys2ndKid: hey guy, what're your feelings on Noah's ark?
Boiskov: i believe that Jesus died on the ark!

Destinys2ndKid: So what do you think about Noah's ark?
Roxymoron87: I think it's great. Without the original Noah, the world could never have experienced "Second Noah" and DOWN-TO-EARTH, LAZER-EYED HOTTIED JAMES MARSDEN.

Destinys2ndKid: Hey, what are your thoughts on Noah's ark?
Basher Lemming: Uh... It's a big boat?
Destinys2ndKid: gg

Wait, no it doesn't.

Hey, don't you think this post is a little low on animal anus?

Ladies and gentlemen, a blue pig doing a handstand. That's a pretty pedestrian choice for a hilarious find and observation after I've showcased a shitting President. But trust me, gentle reader, I wouldn't let you down without

HARDCORE ANAL

Yes, the pig's butt crack is a bank.

I don't know if it's intentional or not, but I feel as though telling a child that he or she should learn the value of saving their money over spending it by asking them to put their change in the ass of a pig is a flawed idea. But I guess it does explain why my little brown baby told me a "penny saved is a penny later found in a piece of sausage" yesterday.

According to the Bible, booty sex is the color wheel opposite of "Jesus," and this trip to the Dollar Duz It was based around my desire to see Him crucified by naked children. So, being me, I went to the first thing that pops into my head when I hear the word "Jesus."

My old crush, Karla Davis. I even found a figurine that looks just like her:

But sadly that was back in 2001. Now she kinda looks like Chester Copperpot did when the Goonies found him.

Here's an illustration:

And I can say from the bottom of my heart that there is no greater evidence against the existence of God.

But then I did another walk down the aisle and whoops, I found Jesus being crucified by a big naked monster baby.

The quick facts:

- Jesus appears to be an Elven midget, because he is the same height as a baby, yet his head and body are roughly 1/3rd the girth. You could fit four Jesus heads into one hideous baby head.
- Jesus is being crucified on a cross much to large for him, and it's strangely made of paper because it's pages are being turned down at the corners.
- The cross is located on a sparkly cloud where giant roses grow.
- The huge baby is not only naked but clutching a heart, which I am to believe has just been removed from Jesus, despite it being two times too big to fit in his ribcage. But I guess they always said Jesus had a big heart, eh?
- The bottom of the figurine says it was "MADE IN CHINA," so I'll chalk this up to messy translation. Like the Asian people gave us "ALL YOUR BASE BELONG TO US" and we trade them "The Passion of the Christ" rewritten by Anne Geddes and Hunter S. Thompson.

And since I can't say anymore, I'm going to end this the way my mentor Matt Carararrararacapapppa would.

With a SKIT.

Jim Ross: DAMMIT KING, DAMMIT.
Jerry Lawler: WOOHOO, THAT BABY IS NAKED
Jim Ross: Is that all you think about King??? That man just died for your sins. FOR YOUR DAMN SINS
Jerry Lawler: HAHA, (insert some irrational heel reason why Jesus deserves it)

Jim Ross: WAIT A DAMN MINUTE KING
Jerry Lawler: It's Shelton Benjamin!
Jim Ross: And despite Shelton being a Christian he MAH GAWD DOUBTS AND DEFIES JESUS! MY SON OF GOD KING
Jerry Lawler: WOOHOO, THAT BABY IS STILL NAKED, I CAN SEE 2 YEAR OLD GIANT VAGINA

Jim Ross: DAMMIT SON OF A BITCH, CHARLIE HAAS...HAAS... CHAR...HE JUST
Jerry Lawler: It's Shelton Benjamin JR!
Jim Ross: UNPRETTIER
Jerry Lawler: No, that was a chairshot.
Jim Ross: THE DASTARDLY UNPRETTIER KING, CARNAGE IN THE RING

Jim Ross: JESUS HAS BEEN BUSTED OPEN KING
Jerry Lawler: That naked baby makes MY BLOOD run to my PENIS!
Jim Ross: DAMN CRIMSON MASK
Jerry Lawler: *has sexy with child* *well, has sex with child AGAIN I guess*

 

 

THE END
