That's RAMALAMF, man - it says so right here on my t-shirt...
*laughing*... It says that on your non-conformist t-shirt? Fight the power! Question AuFority! Eat my Fuck, asshole! ("What does 'Eat my fuck' mean?") ("Yaz all wah gonna go away fuh th' weekend while they installed th' hot tub, wantcha?")
Like a mofo.
(It occurs to me: You never told the tale of the Bettenburg Habitrail when I asked, or the saga of the Stinson streetsign. So I hesitate to ask you to 'splain RAMALAMF for them outside the joke. Ah, screw 'em. Let 'em wonder.)
The Stinson street sign used to mark (no pun intended) the intersection of 68th Avenue and Stinson Boulevard, near my home in Fridley.
Used to, until one of drunken neighbors ran it down. I enlisted my mom into my life of crime, and she drove and slowed the car to a crawl under the cover of dusk while I leapt out and snagged the sign.
It meant a lot more to me then. Most things do.
Oh, yeah, and 'RAMALAMF' stands for 'Rapidly Approaching Middle Age Like A Mother Fucker', and it's a sort of a bastardization of the title of favorite record by Johnny Thunders & The Heartbreakers and the title of a favorite song by the MC5 (later covered by the Mofos).
RAMALAMF, baby.
Wow... you did it... Thanks!
It suddenly occurs to me how spectacularly unfair it is to expect anybody to explain the cryptic references that I sometimes make - even if they're so very cryptic that there's perhaps only a handful of people in the world who would have any idea at all about what I was saying.
So in the spirit of openness, honesty, and trust: I've been fiddling with the books for the past several years and fudging figures to the tune of billions of dollars - but it's OK since I've now admitted it before I got caught, and we'll overlook the fact that my shennanigans are going to be a major contribution to the rising tsunami that is probably going to end up capsizing and washing away an awful hell of a lot of real financial lives (but not mine). That, and this is the source of "Eat my fuck, asshole":
I have that street sign in my home.
