televanjabronie

this guy and his fucking miracle spring water. i can't believe he's still hawking that shit. just caught him on the idiot box a few minutes ago. i gotta find this tape for you kids...

prete, throbby & i first encountered religious huckster peter popoff on latenight cable ripping bonghits in my parents' basement. the dude was offering this "miracle spring water" in like, one of those little oil tubes you get with a sewing machine or something and a sacred holy red silk handkerchief. "annoit yourself with this free miracle spring water and you shall be redeemed from your affliction!" [insert shaking head gesture here.] what ensued thereafter was about 5 or 6 crank calls to popoff's call center, most notably one placed by rich 'hallelujah!' prete, in which prete used very afrocentric exclaimations of "praise me jesus!" and "hallelujah!" to buffer sentence fragments much as one might use the word "like." like, you know, like like?

another highlight of the evening was throbby's demand of a surplus of miracle water for use in his satanic rituals. teehee.

ah... those were the days. freshly dropped out of college, smoking weed in the basement all day, long before this 9-5 wage slavery business which has sucked my soul dry for near two years now... blargh. strike damn you! strike! you were supposed to be done with your fucking negotiations an hour and a half ago! stalemate damnit!
