December 08, 2002 : The Next Mount Rushmore, Perhaps..


One of the great meetings of the minds in the Modern Age.

You can find many more photos of the Man in The Middle with various celebs of all types here. Fame is a strange thing...

People have said these things about that :

I find the whole Ron Jeremy as a Camp Icon thing a little overdone. I mean, he's no Anna Nicole Smith.

Posted by: jpoulos on December 8, 2002 11:23 PM

Yeah, I think Anna Nicole may have a bigger schlong.

Posted by: jonmc on December 8, 2002 11:25 PM

yo poulos, why aren't you on aim?

Posted by: pikachulolita on December 8, 2002 11:30 PM

yo pika and poulos, why aren't you on irc with me and jon?

Posted by: eyeballkid on December 8, 2002 11:35 PM

if that's Mason Reese, then stuff my nose and mouth w/ peanut butter now or underwood spread, and let me suffocate!

Uh, where is that irc thing again?

Posted by: stavrosthewonderchicken on December 9, 2002 12:48 AM

the only question is:

which one of these to make into a t-shirt?

i'm leaning towards the pitt and porn poodle.

Posted by: q-man on December 9, 2002 08:59 AM

Who is this Ron Jeremy and why do I see him posed with Bruce Campbell, who is a legitimate icon, and also the beautiful and talented witchstone, who is the icon of 9622? Please tell me Photoshop is responsible for Bruce, too.

Disturbing is right. Genuinely disturbing.

Posted by: q-man on December 9, 2002 09:12 AM

I'm sure Ron is now going to add me to the "women I wish I'd slept with" gallery page.

"I don't Like You and I won't pretend to now..."

The Muffs rock. I saw them in Hoboken opening for SCOTS and they're even cooler live.

Posted by: jonmc on December 9, 2002 10:05 AM

Absolutely, Jon! One of my best concert experiences was the Muffs. There was this incredible vibe and understanding amongst the crowd. I was really drubk and I was actually in the pit moshing, and there were these assholes trying to get close to the stage by throwing elbows and such, and eventually the cool people in the pit would fling these guys at me, and I'd fling them out of the pit. Then there was this totally wasted guy who kept shouting "I love you, Kim!" So, conversely, we all took pains to let this guy get to the front so he could ogle Kim and profess his undying adoration. Eventually Kim said, "Okay, now, we all get the point that you love me and will love me forever."

The stage was only a foot or so off the ground and the only thing separating the crowd from the band were a few small monitors, and at first Kim looked terrified. But then she noticed things like, when a friend of Ronnie Barrett got knocked down and his glasses flew off, the whole pit cleared out for him and me and some guy lifted him up while others found (the pieces of) his glasses.

After the show I jogged down the steps to one of the world's worst mens' rooms, and these guys looked at me and I was just grinning from ear to ear. Complete strangers. They all grinned and busted up laughing. Then I tried to say something and no one, not even me, could hear what I was saying, because we were deaf from the concert. We were all drubk and deaf and it felt like we were walking on the moon and we all felt it and busted up laughing again! It was a total shared moment! This in a men's room, where guys usually avoid all eye contact out of homophobic fear of looking at each others' peepees. But there was this comraderie, you know?

It was an experience--I'm sure I'll never have another like it. It will always rank among my favorite shows, like Stomp, the Sundays, and a handful of jazz concerts.

9622.net: fear of looking at each others' peepees

Posted by: kafkaesque on December 9, 2002 11:30 AM

Who the heck is that on the left anyway?

Posted by: kafkaesque on December 9, 2002 11:30 AM

I should think that when you made eye contact, your eyes would be well above the peepee level. Unless ... oh, nebbermind.

Posted by: tizzie on December 9, 2002 11:37 AM

That's Mason Reese, the Underwood Deviled Ham pitchbeing from the 70's.

Told it was a bizarre collection on quasi-neo-pseudo-celebrity.

Posted by: jonmc on December 9, 2002 11:50 AM

This could only happen to a far-flung European: I got to know Ron Jeremy as a celebrity before I realized he was a porn performer. And even then in Italian movies, no less.

Portugal has a 24/7 hardcore porn channel, broadcast from Brazil, included in its basic cable package. Also, on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, from midnight to two in the morning, the whole damn country gets filthy European porn for free. Japanese porn is on another free channel and all the official networks have soft porn.

Does it improve our sex life? Well no.

Posted by: Miguel on December 9, 2002 11:56 AM

You're right, I worded that really badly. On the other hand, your observation is revealing: men often avoid eye contact and avoid looking at anything below head level, opting to stare at that safest of places, the ceiling, thus emphasizing that their gaze falls nowhere near the peepee zone. Not always, but this is definitely observable behavior, confirmed by more than one person I know.

I studiously examine the wall in front of me. That's why I really appreciate those restaurants that put a newspaper up for me to look at.

Mmmmm. Filthy European porn. For free.

Just imagine if Jeremy really was immortalized on Rushmore--his, um, nose would be enormous ...

Reminds me of the comercial breaks I saw while in Ablon, France around 10pm at night. 1-900 adds with full action. The thing that made me think why? was why call when you just watched a short porno???? and in 10 to 15 minutes later you were sure to see another one.

These commercial opened me up for a couple of un-a-custum awkward ribbing moments for me. To begin, you know how comercials are {{{louder}}} than the scheduled program and I'm staying in a stone mesa with folks I just met.

Also they were placing the "F" word in adds diricted towards the youth in public.

I know what TCS is saying re: the phone sex ads there. The one night in Nice, France that I was sober enough to watch some TV before passing out, I was flipping back and forth b/w Headline News and a German version of Full House. There's something very disconcerting about seeing Uncle Joey and DJ Tanner having a "moment" (in German!) and then two (or three, or four) people having a completely different moment thirty seconds later.

And adding the Olson twins would not make that any more palatable...

Posted by: shane on December 9, 2002 01:15 PM

Ya know for a minute there I thought "DJ Tanner" was a hip-hop DJ or something. Although it would be kind of a cool name for a DJ. Very fucking pomo and all that shit.

Posted by: jonmc on December 9, 2002 01:19 PM

It's far filthier than American porn. 75% is produced by a company called "Private". Anything less than 7 men to one woman is considered romantic fiction.

In fact, it's not unlike those autopsy videos.

Posted by: Miguel on December 9, 2002 01:25 PM

It's not javascript. I'm pretty sure it's a bug in the way some versions of IE render the particluar Doctype. (<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

I never saw the appeal of that. I drove a friend to the airport at the last minute once and offered to return a video for him that he would otherwise have had to mail to the store. He told me again and again that he would take care of it. But I insisted, not knowing why someone who traded driving favors and beer tabs with me would not let me return a video for him.

He finally consented and divulged that the film was from "Captain Jack's Porn Hut" or something like that. Aaaarh, matey! I would have took it straight back, but he said I could have a look. Oh, my (not-so) virgin eyes! I later inquired of my friend as to whether or not the feats performed were actually humanly possible, or if the video was the product of sophisticated CGI (the porn industry is always first with the technology, as we know). Nope! He told me it was all exactly what it looked like...

It just wasn't my thing. Things. You know.

If just in one's comment you click on the last letter your highlighting then when it is highlighted Ctrl-C then paste(learnt from Kaf)

But why in the blue I can't copy & paste into a word document( I get a red squiggle). I noticed this a few months back. Apoligies too those that are not part of Meta for me asking here.

Eeek, quonsar! Please don't turn your baleful glare upon me.

Sorry, folks. My bad. It is indeed an IE bug dealing with absolute positioning of elements (necessary for this snazzo-design), and yes, Shane, I did fiddle a bit with the stylesheets yesterday (long overdue) so it should work better for some folks. Mozilla (FYI) should let you select quite happily, and incidentally I find v1.2 rocks. In other news, the Avant browser, basically a wrapper around the IE page rendering dll, ROCKS! Tabs, groups, cheese-spread - it's got it all!

Posted by: stavrosthewonderchicken on December 9, 2002 06:16 PM

speaking of not understanding what someone is talking about....

I stopped at a taqueria to pick up dinner last night - since I go there at least once a week, the people who work there are all very sweet to me. They wanted me to sit down and have some guacamole while I waited for the food, and since it was crowded, I sat up in the back - where I saw a guy steal a bottle of soda out of the cooler.

I'm not usually a big narc, but I like these people and I hate to see them ripped off. So when I went to the cash register to pay, I whispered that the fellow in the yellow jacket had helped himself to a bottle of soda. Well, I had picked the guy who I thought spoke pretty much English, but he promptly went to the cooler and brought me a bottle of soda! I shook my head and said No, no, and tried to explain again. He motions towards the owner, and I try to tell her - all the while without having the thief hear me. So she smiles and nods, and takes the bottle of soda over to the the thief, and then charges me for it!

So I just smile and say all the spanish words I know: "Gracias! Bueno! Adios!" and leave, trying not to crack up laughing. And they are all looking at me, especially the thief, like I am one crazy gringo lady.

Posted by: tizzie on December 10, 2002 10:19 AM

...like I am one crazy gringo lady.

One crazy generous gringo lady, or maybe a gringo lady with a crush on the local soda thief.

But maybe your display of generosity will turn him from a life of crime?

Posted by: shane on December 10, 2002 10:29 AM

I'm guessing 'no' on that one.

Posted by: tizzie on December 10, 2002 10:48 AM

That story is cracking me up.

Phrase to learn in Spanish this week: Hey, that guy just stole a bottle of soda!

Let's see what babelfish has to say about that:

ˇHey, ese individuo acaba de robar una botella de soda!

Posted by: witchstone on December 10, 2002 10:54 AM

"Ey, dat crazy gringo lady, she buys a bottle of soda for that guy. She likes him, no?"

"She better watch out. I hear dat guy likes to steal things."

You may not believe me but last night I met someone who has met Ron Jeremy. Which just proves my theory about 9622.

Posted by: witchstone on December 11, 2002 11:57 AM

That theory being that Germans love David Hasselhoff.

Ok, I admit it, I didn't know who Ron Jeremy was...but now my question is, why would *anyone* want to see him naked? Bleh!

Posted by: dejah420 on December 12, 2002 03:18 PM

I was actually surprised to see that he looked slightly less unappealing as a young lad.

Posted by: witchstone on December 12, 2002 03:33 PM

Well, therein lies the Hedghog (aka Mr. Jeremy)'s appeal. He's a homely guy with a big schlong who gets paid to have sex with hot women. He gives the average slob hope...
