"big bottom" causes death threat

Sign in to disble this ad
Saturday afternoon my wife and I went out for lunch to celebrate our 6th anniversary. She had to work and I had a dress rehearsal for a big gig, so it was all we had time to do, but we'd been on vacation for a week to celebrate so it's all good . I pick her up from work and we stop at Target then walk over to the Circuit City in the same plaza (we're both former employees) to say hi to some friends. We get back in the car and drive down the plaza to head to lunch.

My windows are down, stereo is cranked. I'd been listening to my boot of a BX3 show and it reached the concert finale, "Big Bottom". As we pause at the stop sign in front of Lane Bryant (a store which sells plus size women's clothing), the lyrics "big bottom, big bottom, talk about mud flaps, my girl's got 'em" blast out as a rather large woman comes out the door. She gives us the death glare and SCREAMS "I oughta f'n kill you!" I swear it wasn't a planned music moment, and we didn't realize why she said it until we'd reached the end of the plaza, at which point we started laughing pretty hard.

They're really, they're quite fearful, is my theory. They see us on stage with tight trousers. We've got, you know, armadillos in our trousers. I mean, it's really quite frightening, the size.

I wish, it'd be a great comedy skit. But (not too) sadly, I'm just a high school music teacher

Oh man, I wish I was there with you...that was stellar!

*One time, I put an Iron Maiden CD into my theatre system, not realizing the volume was cranked, right away there was a knock at the door. I open the door, and 666 kicks in: Woe to you of earth and sea.....

It was Jahovas at the door....

Couldn't have timed it better.

When I was stationed in Southwest Asia in the Army, I was playing my new Bela Fleck and the Flecktones CD "Flight of the Cosmic Hippo" for the first time (that tells you how long ago that was) at an extremely loud volume. I was going nuts over Victor's playing. Their rendition of the "Star Spangled Banner" was playing, just as the Post Commander (Colonel) comes walking in my room for a surprise inspection. He looks at me, smiles and says "I always admire patriotism in a young soldier, but son, you're pathetic! I think you may be carrying your sense of duty too far."
