Swine Flu Update
Recently, a member of the Brother Machine entourage began with the sniffles. As quickly as the words “Swine Flu” surfaced in the minds of Seth, Will, myself, and Ego, so did extreme paranoia. After a brief conversation discussing the future of our beloved fan, Ego took it upon himself to take control of the situation. As coughing and feverish episodes began to overtake our sickly friend, Ego decided to verbally abuse the symptoms (not our friend) with a slang-entrenched, “Spanish” tongue. Not fluent with this dialect personally, I was able to make out such words as “guey, pinche, and puerko.” Amazingly and very shortly afterwards, our most-beloved friend/fan began to see improvements in his health and seems to be on the road to recovery. I still don’t know how Ego worked his magic, or even if what he presented was cause for a cure, but it was very entertaining nonetheless. And Ego, as much of a little bastard he can be sometimes, did a wonderful job of not only consoling our sick friend and guiding him through a near death experience, but made clear to us all with one simple statement, “If I hear another fucking sniffle out of anyone, be prepared to be cursed at in Spanish.”
Ego is such a lil’ prick. A lovable prick, but a prick nonetheless….
