KSK Off-Topic: Lashing Out at Our Readers Because We Hurt the Ones We Love

Back in February, several astute readers noted that I never chronicled my tales of debauchery at the Penthouse party. I did this on purpose, even though I was photographed with a scantily clad Penthouse Pet. You know why?

Because fuck you, that's why.

I'm cool with being lampooned, and I have the ability to laugh at myself, but the scrutiny of anonymous strangers was reaching preposterous levels. What's with his hair? I don't like his shirt. I can't believe he's wearing jeans with a blazer. I can't believe he's wearing a tee shirt with a blazer. And the overwhelming favorite for ridiculously obvious statement: some variation of He's so pale!

Fuck you twice. My blood is German, Scandinavian, and English. I apologize that my ancestry has no Mediterranean, eastern European, Jewish, African, or native American influences. I come from a long line of Aryan racists, you see.

I actually used to be tan. When was that? My memory's not so good. Oh yeah: when I was defending your freedom. I spent four months living outside in a desert, sleeping on top of a tank, occasionally getting shot at, and spending most of my down time waving flies away and trying to get sand out of my teeth. I was really tan then.

By the way: you're welcome, you lazy fucks.

And now I live in New York City. It was both a business and a lifestyle decision. After living on a Marine base in the middle of nowhere in the Mojave Desert for three years and three months (note: tan that entire time), I wanted the exact opposite of that experience. Also, as an aspiring writer, it made sense to live in the city that houses every major publishing house in the country.

But hey, guess what? Yesterday it was 13 degrees. You'll forgive me if I didn't make it to the tanning salon.

Anyway, this has all just been a long introduction to show you this sure-to-be-classic photo from yesterday's Varsity Letters reading. I'd like to offer my sincerest thanks to all the great people who packed the joint to listen to a couple sports bloggers read. This is me offering a serious discussion of bukkake while Will Leitch looks on in terror.


Don't like my shirt? Fuck off. You know, in case I didn't make that clear.

Clear, like my skin. Har fucking har.

Why can't you be as nice as that young man in Walter Reed?

Dat RoRo Kid said...

I was there. Good to meet you though you'd have no idea we did. Good readings all around...I especially liked Will's dictionary piece (Stu Scott DID ruin that otherwise pleasurable experience of flipping the pillow)...Shanoff was a treat, too. By the way, that Fresh Prince piece had me singing the theme song all morning while I took a shit before work. Thanks for that. Really.

Weed Against Speed said...

You tell 'em, CC!

The Navigator said...

At least you were tan once. My Irish ass only fluctuates from ghost white to lobster red. You could have it worse.

Dat RoRo Kid said...

i think i asked the question that you're answering here, actually. Will looks like he shit himself.

Big Daddy Drew said...

CC fought in Iraq? That's the first I've heard of it.

careful Drew, if Casper here defended our country with half the zeal he defends his milky-white complexion then he earned the hell out of that medal

Happy Fun Miles said...

Sounds like somebody has a case of the Thursdays.

It also sounds like someone needs their ego stroked.

CC, thank you for taking my place as a bullet magnet in one of the most god-forsake places on the planet. I make no secret about being a colossal pussy boy and would shit my pants incessantly if shot at.

I hoist my PB sandwich in your honor, sir.

"Words...are like bullets."

Yes, I was able to get completely shitfaced at HE last night and still see the ridiculous South Park anyway.

Well done, sirs.

You know, I was thinking...it really looks like Will has been working out pretty hardcore these days...those are some gunz.

One of Many Lisas said...

CC, I believe I am at least as pale if not paler than you.

And striped shirts are hot. I'm finding it hard to contain myself.

Captain Caveman said...

Look at my striped shirt!

Rob I said...

Maybe the picture is deceiving but Leitch has a set of guns on him. Never would have known that under his many suit jackets.

Rob I said...

Dammit Becky, stop overshadowing my latent homosexuality.

Holly said...

Absolutely, Maybe.

Weed Against Speed said...

Did Will get that shirt at Simon Cowell's Black V-Neck T-Shirt Warehouse?

Otto Man said...

CC fought in Iraq? That's the first I've heard of it.

I didn't have the balls to go there, but I'm glad BDD did.

Did you play Golden Tee, drink some Jager bombs, grind on girls' asses and call the valet "champ" whilst wearing it?

Unsilent Majority said...

See my vest?

Big Daddy Drew said...

I didn't have the balls to go there, but I'm glad BDD did.

Lotta irony in that statement. A whole lot.

Otto Man said...

I guess plunging necklines really are all the rage these days in New York.

Otto Man said...

Lotta irony in that statement. A whole lot.

Thanks. I was worried it was too subtle.

wrecking_ball said...

Tanning: not easy enough for a Caveman to do it.

(Disclaimer: Neither can I.)

A.J. said...

I'm so pissed i missed out on the discussions last nite. I'm glad I didn't get to experience Will shitting his pants or farting the alphabet as it looks like he's doin in that pic.


p.s. Dont worry CC, I respect you dude, except for the whole you telling me to go fuck myself and calling me a lazy fuck part.

sounds like somebody is a little self conscious about their vitamin d deficiency

oh yeah and...

niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice striped shirt

Otto Man said...

I'm waiting for The Big O to denounce you for being so overwhelmingly white.

Jordan Ginsberg said...

Hey, I'm Canadian -- I'm a lazy pacifist *and* I have a vitamin deficiency. Where's my parade?

Signal to Noise said...

I don't tan, I burn, so I get the response.

weed - Will is getting ready to tell various speakers that "it was the worst performance I've ever seen. Just leave."

lauren said...

I like pale and I like striped shirts. Hot.

Beate said...

I can't believe he's wearing a blazer.

Sorry. I can resist anything, except temptation.

Trader Rick said...

You are the Walter Sobchak of your generation.

Otto Man said...

Shomer fucking shabbos.

Christmas Ape said...

I appreciate febwayfaithful carrying the torch of the pussy basket.

Writer Ufford should get on with composing "Ode on a Pussy Basket." Keats is dead. He won't care.

Smello said...

Perhaps if you wore the uniform & carried the gun around, there'd be less mocking & more thanking. I know it would certainly make me more inclined to be generous in my...thanks.

Oh, and because the boys always get to do it -- yes & yes.

Otto Man said...

Writer Ufford should get on with composing "Ode on a Pussy Basket."

Actually, "O.D. on a Pussy Basket" would be even better. Hunter S. Thompson's dead too.

mandy said...

Don't worry CC, I'm equally pale and I'd totally be willing to create the supreme Aryan race with you.

MDG said...

I made you batman damn it!

Dat RoRo Kid said...

ummm...? who let more hot girls onto this site??? WHO?!

becky said...

wow the cleavage shots on the avatars are getting out of control...I feel like I need to change mine to keep up w/ all the fabulous big-breastedness. but I won't, cuz I'm shy :)

Anonymous said...

You crackers crack me up, with your inability to stay tanned....

I, for one, thought CC's shirt was the hotness:

Dat RoRo Kid said...

Seriously...Mandy is bodacious. Nice rack, Mandzzzzzz. I mean that respectfully and shit.

MyBoysAreMyLife said...

Oh, Oh I got one. Your complexion looks like the Crow character

Face it CC, you just put up your picture to pick up the female posters on this site.

"This is how big the Spain Train's tits were"

MDG said...

ok who's setting up the bracket for KSK/Deadspin Commenter Boobs

Dat RoRo Kid said...

I have to say, though, that at some point I realized I was TOTALLY SURROUNDED by dorks last night. I mean, the dork quotient was at around 98%, easily. If I had a time machine that would take me to the past and I was able to tell all of you dorks that this thing 'blogging' might actually get you some pussy one day....well, you all would have blown milk out of your nose.

Unsilent Majority said...

I'd totally be willing to create the supreme Aryan race with you.

I know when I'm not wanted.

So, when are you telling us about the penthouse party? And thanks for fighting for my right to buy cheap gas. Oh, you're white.

jackin'4beats said...

I come from a long line of Aryan racists, you see

I didn't know that C_ _ _ t and CC was the same person!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Ok, I'm over it. And I get more Pussy Basket than you do so take that you New Yorker!!

HA

CC - thanks for going to Iraq so that we didn't have to.

Is it me or does the Captain almost look like Foetus head in that picture?

Maybe I'm just stoned.

Look at my button down striped shirt! Fucking look at it! This shirt means one thing! I'm coming home with some pussy tonight!

Leitch looks like he's in pain. Maybe this will help.

I'll be there in ten minutes

Well, I think that answers the "Did he get laid last night?" question.

Redhead said...

Actually, I thought you looked pretty good last night.

swing4 said...

Aaaaand, I think THAT answers the "Will he get laid tonight?" question.

Chamomiles Davis: Right behind you.

cameltrader said...

There were a lot of guys there that night and I'm pretty sure there were no more than ten ladies in the room. And from what I could see, there were no more than 2 good looking woman. One was sitting in a booth drinking wine with her friend, and an Asian one who came in with Henry Abbott's wife.

Dat RoRo Kid said...

In the words of Omar, from 'The Wire': Indeed.

Yea, that Asian one was pretty hot. I was sitting with this cute Asian girl as well but she's on the tiny side and just a friend.

Definitely lots of softball player types there...Didn't see much talent from where I was sitting.

becky said...

+1 to killbill for KSK's first-ever Alkaline Trio reference.

That question better be rhetorical

That's amazing.

Of course, it was rhetorical. The better question is, what kind? Oh wait... that's rhetorical too.

end of the bar, ryan. it's ok though, you're not actually required to think I'm hot.

Anonymous said...

I think I may have an idea who Clint or "Clit" as he is affectionately known as, really is.
I'm pretty sure I went to high school with him. While in high school my good friend Dean (gay) informed me that Clint gave terrible blowjobs and the worst part about the whole experience was Clint forgot to cup the balls at the end.
I mean if my woman forgot to cup the balls....Wow.

It is, about as much as the pizza, but the real question is whether I need to pick up Chinese too.

Speaking of our favorite GIMP (aka Clit). Just realized that my post to his website last night solidifying my ownership of his sorry excuse for a soul was removed. So not only is he an asshole, he is a sore loser too.

Or maybe he's just got a sore asshole.

Hmmm...

Top 5 other things Ufford could have been describing as this photo was taken:

5. "Throw me the ball! I'm open!"
4. "When collecting on a slapbet, proper wind-up is key. I will now demonstrate this on my assistant here."
3. "When we finished in Fallujah, the bodies were stacked this high."
2. "No, I've never seen a Filipino whore that tall."
1. "I have to raise my and AND look at you to get another drink?"
