One time, some asshole wasn’t paying attention and left his bottle of rum outside of the liquor store. He went to tie his shoe and when he rose back up, the dumb bastard just simply walked away. Score one for Frank. I ran over as quickly as possible, before one of the other local bums scooped it up, and took off running with it. When I got to a safe drinking spot far from the guy who owned the bottle, I pulled off the brown bag and came to find out that it was a very shitty bottle of rum. Like six dollars a bottle shitty. Well, I thought to myself that I wasn’t going to turn down any free liquor ever, so I cracked the top and poured the whole bottle into a two liter of sprite that I happened to have with me at the time. Believe it or not, I do like to drink things other than scotch.
I was cruising down the sidewalk, taking giant swings from my mixed drink, when I came to the end of the street. Right in front of me were some guys with shaved heads and big, wavy, black robes on. They were yelling some nonsense at people as they passed by, but they all seemed to ignore. I noticed that they were handing out pamphlets, which also no one seemed to want. It then dawned on me that these were a group of street prophets, which are sort of a staple on the streets of downtown Philadelphia.
I love to fuck with these idiots, so I went over and grabbed one of their pamphlets from a small table they had set up. One of the shaved head goons tried to talk to me, but I just waved him off as I walked about twenty feet away to read in peace. I looked at the cover page which read, “Welcome to the World of the Cryontologists”, as I really began to lace into the bottle of rum and sprite. I chuckled a bit but was more intrigued than ever. I had to keep reading, so I opened the pamphlet up.
It read: “Welcome to the wonderful world of Cryontology. Our mission is to deliver the wornderful word of Fagedich, our God from the stars who will one day save us. We hope to gather enough members and earn enough money to be cryogenically frozen, put on rocket ships, and sent into the cosmos, where he will rescue us and take our human bodies to a realm far away. There we will be treated to delights that this world can never deliver. Join now, before the time of reckoning passes you by.”
I fell off the bench laughing hysterically. At this point I was fucked-in-the-ass drunk and only had about a mouthful of drink left. It was decided while I was lying in the grass, that I had to rouse these guys up a bit, so I started to walk over to them. They were delighted to see that I had not only read their garbage, but was actually coming over to talk to them.
I started the conversation by asking, “So who’s this Fag-Dick guy you guys believe in?” The tallest of the three assholes seemed a bit offended by my translation, but answered back.
“It’s actually pronounced ‘Faj-Deesh’, sir. He is our savior upon high who has given us his word to ease the suffering of human kind…”
He kept telling me his little spiel, but I stopped paying attention because things around me were really starting to spin. I did notice that one of the other men poured me a little fruit punch and tried to give it to me. I thought these fuckers were trying to go all Jonestown one me, so I flipped out, did a pseudo karate kick and knocked it out of his hands. The three were shocked by my actions, but didn’t move. Neither did I, until I projectile vomited two liters of cheap rum and sprite all over their literature. The men asked me to go away, but I passed out and crashed through their little table.
Consciousness hit me about five hours later in a pile of pamphlets and my own puke. The cheap ink they had used to print their literature had leaked off and transferred onto my head. I walked around with “Fag Dick” on my forehead for two days before someone finally told me. I haven’t seen those guys around since then, so I’m assuming they were rescued and taken away to another galaxy. Which is good for them, because if I ever see those bastards again, I’m gonna kick them in the balls.
