Episode I In watching the tube this evening looking for the "all math" channel I mused the around the idea of the "all 2 guys in Mexico" channel. I mean they have an "all golf" channel, an "all cartoon" channel already. For the love of the electromagnetic spectrum. Why not? Let's check it out. On 3 big screen TVs and several other smaller TVs people in a sleepy sports bar look on to the play by play hosted by announcers Bob Montana and Joe Calexico. Quietly with tension in his voice announcer Bob Montana starts.... "After a hard night of drinking, dancing, and drinking, Jim and "Eric the Norse Man" use Mother Nature's own alarm clock. Yes, beneath their tent a sharp stones in the back wake them to morning's glory at the crack of dawn, 10 am. Dehydrated and confused they search for the water bottle. Success. Washing the Mexican dust out their mouths and bringing back life to their catatonic bodies they begin a discourse on the previous nights activities." Suddenly the, 'color man', Joe Calexico, takes the mic. With a slight, yet noble, Spanish accent... "You know Bob some people say that they best part of Mexico is the sun, surf and people. But as any veteran will tell you, that has nothing to do with it. No Bob, the best part is waking up and mulling over the last nights events with your friends. Often times to replace unknown gaps in one's own memory or to verify that yes you did eat that bacon rapped mystery sausage from the street vendor.." Bob the mic hog jumps back in interrupting Joe midstream.... "That's right John ...er... Joe, Mexico is a place of Mucho Mysterias. That's many mysteries to you gringos out there! (boisterously) Ha ha. Look closely folks, Jim is....yes.... Jim is pealing... I can't quite see it... go to close up.... an orange! Woah! Look closely ladies and gentleman. Jim is offering some to Eric the Norse Man Oh! He does NOT take it. Folks if you watched last nights episode you would know that Eric the Norse Man has refused nourishment before. This may have severe consequences for Eric the Norse Man later on." Joe Calexico splits Bob's pause directly in the middle.... "We're seeing a veteran at work here mis amigos." Bob.... "Indeed Jose. Seems like the morning discussion is over. Jim looks as if ..... as if he's going to... oh yes.... Jim is going to surf. Joe this is classic use of "the 4 Mexican vacation food groups". 1) A sharp stone in the back to bring an alert awakening,
Mentally and physically, and most importantly in the area of "mass taco consumption", Eric may find himself at a severe disadvantage." Joe.... "Eric the Norse man will need to draw on his inner strength today. Meditating on his 7 years at college. Using his experience as a Jedi party master at Chico State." Bob.... "uh... lest we forget Joe, Jim was in college for 9 years...." "Jim is walking back to camp. He makes the call to Eric. "HEY ERIC, LET'S GET TACOS". Later in Rosarito Eric goes to the fish Taco card." Joe.... (Before the network can bleep it out Joe Calexico has a peyote flash back. Prime-evilly Joe reverts back to his original Tiajuana street vendor accent. Joe was discovered juggling 3 chainsaws (one for each one of his children) in the streets of Tiajuana for money. Magicly he would introduce a fresh trout into the already precarious juggle. With his free hand he would cook up 3 tortillas. Lining the tortillas in a perfect row on his table suddenly the fish would be trisected by the flying chainsaws and each section would land in its own tortilla. Next he would catch the chainsaws. Catching one in each hand and balancing the last on his head he would say the only English he knew. "Ju wana tahco?". Joe was discovered by the American TV show "That's Incredible" and he made his start in show biz.) "Jes Boob, de tahcos is bery bery gud amigo. Ju gona hab one my friend? Only fibe pesos. Fibe pesos mang. I tink.... jes, I tink..., jes, these are de bes' tahcos in Mexico, No I tink day are de bes' in de world." (Voices fade out and the camera pans the area as Rachero music fades in.. "da da dump dump dump dump dump dump, da da dump dump dump dump...." The last scene is of a tall Swedish girl with a perplexed look about her... ) |
