“Welcome to Lucha Libre Night at the Taco Bell Arena in Chihuahua,
Mexico. I’m Edificio Del Huevo, your color commentator, and I’ll be
assisted by six-time Mexican female mud wrestling champion, Rosita
La Chingada.”

“¡Hola amigos!”

“We’ll be reporting on the hugely anticipated grudge match tonight
between Mexican champion Comandante Marco and his American
rival, El Grande Bush. There’s a lot at stake in this battle for North
American supremacy, wouldn’t you say, Rosie?”

“¡Ooooh sííííí! Mexico has been pushing for a rematch since 1846,
when the malditos gringos cabrones put a gun to our heads and
made us sign over Texas and California. Now if we want to go there
for a vacation we have to swim through rat-infested sewer pipes, and
mutherfuckers telling us ‘Speak English! Speak English!’ I like English.
I luv it! But I don’t need no gringo mutherfucker breathin’ down my
neck.

“Anyway, if Comandante Marco wins the match tonight, we gonna get
back all our land and then we be telling you cocksuckers to speak
Spanish.

“I know the first thing I’m gonna do when we take over is to move into
the Presidential Suite at the Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas and go
skinny-dipping in the Grand Canal. Show the mutherfuckers what a
real Mexican chocha looks like!”

“Sounds good to me, Rosie, but as they say ‘Don’t count your huevos
rancheros before they’re hatched.’ Remember, the norteamericanos
are not going to give up all that loot without a fight.

“And as we speak, El Grande Bush is entering the ring. He’s wearing
his trademark pink tu-tu, dunce cap and glitter mask, and they’re
playing his music, ‘Cheeseburger in Paradise.’”

“Hey, Bushie, Bushie! Can we get a word from you for our studio
audience?”

“Waal, I’d like to address my remarks to the brave men and women
fighting in Eye-Rack for the forty-second consecutive year. I honor the
sacrifice you are making in the war on terror, and I want you to know
that I plan to win tonight so that when you come home you’ll have a
home to come home to.

“The threat we are facing in this arena here tonight is whether our
western states will remain The Home of The Free And The Brave, or
are allowed to become an open-air taco stand like the one on
Alvarado Street in downtown LA, where the crackheads and stray
dogs hang out, behind the convention center.”

“How inspiring! What’s your strategy for fighting Comandante Marco?"

“I plan to shock and awe him with my lightning speed, twist his head in
the ropes and bite his knuckles.”

“Excuse me, Ed, cut out that shit. Here comes Mexico’s national hero,
Comandante Marco of the Zapatista Revolutionary Army of Chiapas.
He looks ready for battle with his headdress of quetzal feathers,
jaguar-skin tights and crocodile nose mask. His musical
accompaniment is the Mexico City rock band Molotov singing their
anthem ''Viva México Cabrones.' Every time I hear that song it brings
tears of pride to my eyes, especially the part where they sing ‘No Me
Llames Cerdo.’ When I was a leetle girl in the shantytown overlooking
the security wall separating Nuevo Laredo from Brownsville, Texas,
my mother used to lull me to sleep by singing to me from Molotov’s
romantic love song ‘Chinga Tu Madre’, where they sing:

Nos vemos Acapulco a la fin de semana
Mientras yo cuido à tu hermana
Chinga tú chinga tu madre
[Ed. See you in Acapulco
But first I fuck your sister]

“Hey, big boy! You got something to say to your fans?”

“Hola, Rosie. I dedicate my life to the glory of Mexico. After I win, not
only are we going to reconquer our lost territories, but we are going to
sacrifice El Grande Bush on the ancient Mayan altar at Chichen Itzà
by ripping out his still beating heart and feeding it to the pirhana fish
that swim in the holy cenote. The whole ceremony is going to be
filmed by Mel Gibson for his upcoming movie “Jews of The Jungle.”

“Sounds great, sweetie. Only how do you plan to vanquish such a
great warrior like El Grande Bush?”

“I plan to shoot him with a curare-tipped blow dart and then, when he’s
paralyzed, I’m going to stomp on his balls.”

“And there’s the bell! The two fighters are circling each other warily,
looking for an opening, and they are being watched by the masked
referee, El Misterioso, who is also wearing a mask. Ed, what do we
know about El Misterioso?”

“Only that he gained fame as the fiercest lucha libre fighter in South
America.”

“Wow! Now El Grande Bush leaps forward and head butts
Comandante Marco in the chest, but instead of falling onto the mat El
Comandante does a backflip, kicking Bush in the face. Bush goes
down and Comandante Marco sits on his face, locking him in a French
Butt Hold, squeezing the air out of Bush like an Anaconda python
between the steel vise grip of his powerful glutes.”

“With his last, dying breath Bush reaches between Marco’s legs and
manages to insert his two fingers in the man’s nostrils and flip him
across the ring like a slingshot. Bush jumps to his feet and delivers a
shattering roundkick to the head of El Comandante, who goes flying
into El Misterioso who, enraged, punches him in the face. Hey, he’s
not supposed to do that. He’s the ref!”

“Wait a minute! Now El Misterioso grabs a folding chair and breaks it
over the head of El Grande Bush.”

“The audience is going berserk. The mariachi band Los Tigres Del
Norte has started playing the romantic sentimental love song ‘Volver’,
I suppose expressing their wish for a return of Mexico’s northern
territories. Meantime, on the American side, Ted Nugent is shooting
off machine gun riffs from his guitar. Oh no, that’s not his guitar, it’s a
real machine gun! Now gunfire is breaking out all over the place and
bullets are flying.”

“Comandante Marco and El Grande Bush have recovered from the
surprise attack by El Misterioso, and they’re punching the shit out of
him in the corner of the ring. They rip off his mask.”

“Omigod, it’s Hugo Chavez, the president of Venezuela, and he’s got
an oil gusher shooting out of his butt!”

“Well, let’s get out of here before the whole place explodes. Reporting
to you from Taco Bell Arena, I’m Edificio Del Huevo.”

“And I’m Rosita La Chingada…”

“Wishing you a big cuevo en el culo, cabrones!”

Recently it was revealed that a defense contractor, The
Lincoln Group, was paid $25 million to develop propaganda to
be disseminated in Iraq. One of the themes they proposed, a
terrorist version of “The Three Stooges,” was rejected by the
Pentagon. Using the Freedom of Information Act, this writer
was able to obtain a copy of the script.


SCENARIO: Curly Sayyed is at the kitchen table stuffing
explosives in the body of a dead dog.


CURLEY: Let’s see. An artillery shell, three hand grenades,
two sticks of dynamite, a box of bullets. [Reaches for pepper
shaker] Don’t forget the gunpowder, nyuk nyuk! And one cup
of napalm. Now all it needs is a timer.
[Winds up an egg timer and throws it in] Thatsa’ spicy
meatball!
[Starts sewing the dog up, singing]
I’m singing in Bahrain
I’m friends with Hussein

Mohammed calls from the other room:

MOE: Saddam! Here boy, come to papa! Where is that damned
dog? Curley, have you seen my dog Saddam?

CURLEY: [Frightened] No, Moe!

MOE: What are you doing in there?

CURLEY: Nothing, Moe! [To dog] I gotta’ put you away. I’ll get
back to you later!

Curley grabs dog off table, runs over to the closet and opens
the door. Closet is filled with bound and gagged hostages.

HOSTAGES: Mmmph! Mmmph!


CURLEY: Sorry, folks! [Slams door]


Curley runs over to the microwave oven, throws dead dog in
microwave and closes door just as Mohammed walks in the
room.


MOE: I said, What are you doing in here?


CURLEY: I was just getting ready to make a bomb.


MOE: Well, that can wait. Come into the living room. I want to
show you my latest invention.

They walk into the living room.


MOE: Well, how do you like it?


CURLEY: What is it?

/>MOE: What do you mean, what is it, you stinking offspring of
an imperialist pig? It’s an Osama Bin Laden doll for the kids to
play with. Do I gotta’ explain you everything, you moron?


CURLEY: Oh, it’s so cute! It’s even got the little beard and
everything!


MOE: Yeah, and it’s got the little kalashnikov. And when you
press the re-dial button on your cell phone it blows up, and
you got the little puddles of fake plastic blood and everything!


CURLEY: Moe, you’re a genius!


MOE: Well, I didn’t get a Masters Degree in Engineering from
The University of Riyadh for nothing!

Abdul walks in.


ABDUL: Sorry I’m late, boys. My bus got run over by a tank.
Look what I got for us.


CURLEY: Matching suicide belts! I want the green one!


MOE: Just hold on, there. I get the green one ‘cause I’m the
boss.


CURLEY: Who made you the boss?


MOE: Oh, a wiseguy, eh!

Mohammed pulls out a rocket launcher and fires it at Curley,
who goes flying out the window. Explosion is heard. Curley
crawls back in the window, all messed up.


MOE: Now who’s the boss!?


CURLEY and ABDUL: You are, Moe.


MOE: All right! Now, where’s my dog Saddam? [Walks back in
kitchen] Saddam, boy! Saddam!


Curley rushes in and gets between Mohammed and the
microwave oven.


MOE: Hey, what’s going on here? What have you got in the
microwave?



CURLEY: [Frantic] It’s a surprise! I was just getting ready to fix
it.

MOE: Oh, a surprise, eh! Well, let’s cook it and find out what it
is.


CURLEY: Moe, no!

Mohammed reaches around Curley and pushes the button on
the microwave. The whole place explodes, with rockets and
bullets whizzing around. When the smoke clears, the place is
a shambles. The Three Jihadis are standing in the rubble with
their clothes torn to shreds and soot all over their faces.


MOE: [To Curley] What was in that oven?

firing a machine gun. Curley runs around in circles, jumping up and down to dodge bullets.


CURLEY: Whoop! Whoop!

Isiah - Stephon, I'm going to have to bench you.  
Last night was our worst game ever.

Stephon - I thought the night before was our
worst game ever.

Isiah - That one too.

Stephon - How can you do this to me after all
we've meant to each other?

Isiah - We had a May-December romance.  
Unfortunately, this is December and it expired.

Stephon - You've found somebody else.

Isiah - I can't lie to you.  I had a brief fling with
Zack Randolph and Eddy Curry, but now they
stink too.

Stephon - Give me one more chance.  Look, I'm
wearing my new sneakers from China.

Isiah - You better re-lace them.  Those sneakers
are tied together.

Stephon - My dad is going to be in the stands
tonight.  You can't do this to me.  All I'm axking
for is one more chance!

Isiah - All right.  One more chance.  But
remember, The Wizard of Odds will be watching.

Stephon - You mean...?

Isiah - Yeah, James Dolan, The King of Rock n'
Roll.  He told me that if you blow this one he's
going to string his guitar with your guts.

get away for a few days?

Stephon - I ran out of frequent flier miles.

Backman - Here, smoke this, mon.  It'll calm





your nerves.

Backman - It's one of my dreadlocks that I cut off
and rolled in a blunt.
