I am fascinated by the human mind. It is so interesting how some random comment can plant a seed into my brain and grow into a Tree of Sheck. I was in Eureka Springs with Ms. Jackson on Saturday and we were in a bar playing Trivial Pursuit whilst the rest of the drunks watched football (I was pronouncing it Fute-boll). One of the questions was about a Asian country and MJ was telling me about her experiences working in different countries. She told me that if a woman is menstruating in Bali, she cannot enter the jungle because the monkeys will pick up the scent and rape her. That was an interesting fact and I immediately thought of a yellow highway sign that said BEWARE OF MONKEY RAPE. We played the game for a bit longer and then headed off to another bar.
As we approached our next drinking destination, I told MJ, "a good name for a band would be Beware of Monkey Rape. Imagine the fliers you could put out, Tonight at Chelsea's, Beware of Monkey Rape." That's great on a few levels. We went into the bar and played some horrible pool. Then I met one of MJ's friends, Afro Joe. We were talking and I asked him what he thought about my new band name. He told me that it made him think of AIDS. I saw his point, so I said the band would do an AIDS tribute song. From that point, we started making up said AIDS tribute song and I think we may just have the next We are the World here. Too bad I can't remember any of the lyrics.
Another friend of MJ's showed up, Giggley McCutie. Before I met her, MJ told me that I would fall in love with her, so when she walked up, I immediately said, "I love you. My name is Sean." I asked her what she thought of my new band name and she said it made her think of AIDS too. That brought on the tangent of how AIDS started and I shared the following theory:
In the monkey brains eating scene during the filming of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, an extra actually ate the monkey brains and caught AIDS. Unfortunately for the gay population, this extra was a huge gay slut and upon returning to his home in California, had sex with everyone ever. If only it would have been a straight slut, the gays would've had an easier time back in the 80's.
