Oh me a break! I sleep a wink last night, it was making me mental. I mean I can't believe I, Ed Grimely, was asked to perform for the amazing Suncoast middle school PTA pancake supper. Like I suppose you do better than that, no way. almost as insane as the time I got to meet Pat Sejak, who's a decent guy I must say. Oh and one thing- today be about Pat Sejak, no way, but then again, maybe it should, it's to say, no,
Today's about Today's Camouflage
I'm knocking dead! You made Shane Fessler laugh so hard, came out his nose. My dad is helping me get my script together while my mom helps me get my hair up into a point! My costume is perfect a collared shirt buttoned to the top and high waisted pants with a hint of mooseknuckle. he enjoys. You know what is don't you? toe for boys!
I am a gentle sensitive kid. While my brother is out baseball, I spend hours lying on the living room floor reading the encyclopedia Britannica or tenderly my lips to the screen of our TV console When Captain T. Kirk is on the other side of the glass. One morning my flies in my bedroom and demands "Why are there all over the TV set?" For reasons I can not explain, something 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 a passage about- Dazzle
In WWI, the military used to paint ships with wild eye-catching patterns. This dazzle camouflage confused the rangefinders, so huge boats could hide in plain sight, and bomber planes would just pass them by.
A lightbulb off. If I dazzle everyone around me, I could hide in plain sight. Then, maybe I would hear Fessler say, "Dude, you're funny" instead of "Dude, you're a faggot"
So I tuck away quiet me, me. And I become dazzle me! And I have a million different cards in my razzle deck
Class Camouflage! Look at me, I teach ed! Joe Camouflage! This field sucks! Camouflage!
Yup, I have girlfriends, from second all the way to my junior year of college. Hey, wanna come over after 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 standing there! Have you been out?
I am so at dazzle camouflage, I'm like a one man Ed Sullivan show! Do the Frog! Hi Ho, it's the Muppet show, our very special guest, Ms. Joan Van Ark, yay! Do Simpson! Marge, I ate all Lisa's Pee Wee Herman! Sure he's not feeling too today! Kahn! Darling, I would not normally ask this, but 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 should be about Pat Sejak! (Dazzle camouflage in background) No way, but again, maybe it should, it's difficult to say. No, today is about the Suncoast middle school annual PTA supper.
After the pancake supper, I'm home in the car with my parents. They're so proud, and happy. We get home, I peel off my sweaty makeshift costume, take a shower, and go into my and lock the door. I'm so tired. Tired from constantly scanning to see if anyone will ever be to put together the truth: that Shane Fessler is right. Keeping a is a full time job and I am exhausted. I pull out my tattered catalogue from in between my mattress and box spring. One day, I will be in the arms of a real man. I my eyes. I am so tired.
