Oh me a break! I couldn't sleep a wink last night, it was me mental. I mean I believe that I, Ed Grimely, was asked to perform for the Suncoast middle school annual PTA pancake supper. I suppose you could do better than that, no way. It's almost as as the time I got to meet Pat Sejak, a pretty decent guy I must say. Oh and one thing- today be about Pat Sejak, no way, but then again, maybe it should, difficult to say, no,
Today's about Today's Dazzle
I'm them dead! You made Shane Fessler laugh so hard, gatorade out his nose. My dad is helping me get my script together while my mom me get my hair stuck up into a point! My costume is perfect a collared shirt buttoned to the top and high waisted pants just a hint of mooseknuckle. he enjoys. You know mooseknuckle is don't you? toe for boys!
I am a very sensitive kid. my brother is out playing baseball, I spend hours lying on the living room floor the encyclopedia Britannica or tenderly pressing my lips to the screen of our TV console When Captain T. Kirk is on the other side of the glass. One morning my mother flies in my bedroom and "Why are lipmarks all over the TV set?" For reasons I can not fully explain, inside me says "don't tell her"
One day, I'm looking through the encyclopedia trying to find a picture of Michaelangelo's David, when I stumble across a about- Dazzle
In WWI, the military used to paint battle ships with eye-catching patterns. This dazzle camouflage confused the enemy's rangefinders, so huge boats could hide in plain sight, and bomber planes just pass them by.
A lightbulb off. If I could dazzle everyone around me, I could hide in sight. Then, maybe I would hear Shane Fessler say, "Dude, funny" instead of "Dude, you're a faggot"
So I tuck away quiet me, sensitive me. And I dazzle me! And I a million different cards in my razzle dazzle deck
Clown Camouflage! Look at me, I drivers ed! Joe Camouflage! This trip sucks! Camouflage!
Yup, I have girlfriends, second grade all the way to my junior year of college. Hey, wanna over after school? We can watch MTV The I spend holding hands with girls was equaled only by the hours I spend in my bedroom making my action figures go at it.
Batman, do you me? I do Lantern! Lantern, you said you loved me! Aquaman? I did not see you there! Have you been working out?
I am so good at camouflage, I'm like a one man Ed Sullivan show! Do the Frog! Hi Ho, the Muppet show, with our very special guest, Ms. Joan Van Ark, yay! Do Simpson! Marge, I ate all Lisa's Pee Wee Herman! Sure he's not too good today! Kahn! Darling, I would not ask this, but while you're down there, would you mind terribly tying my shoe? Whoa dude, are you a girl? What about Ed Grimely? Ed Grimely! I must say I must say like today be about Pat Sejak! (Dazzle camouflage in background) No way, but then again, maybe it should, it's to say. No, today is the Suncoast middle school annual PTA pancake supper.
After the pancake supper, I'm riding home in the car with my parents. so proud, and happy. We get home, I peel off my sweaty makeshift costume, take a shower, and go my room and lock the door. I'm so tired. Tired from constantly scanning to see if anyone will be able to put together the truth: that Shane Fessler is right. Keeping a secret is a time job and I am exhausted. I pull out my tattered Speedo from in between my mattress and box spring. One day, I be in the arms of a real speedo man. I my eyes. I am so tired.
