Butthole Surfers = Band
I tried a joke that went like this:
“Butthole Surfers. What kinda board do you use for that?”
That’s it. That’s the joke. I also think it’s a pretty good question.
Except nobody laughed.
I don’t think anyone knew who the Butthole Surfers are. The Butthole Surfers are a band.
I said, “Do you know who the Butthole Surfers are?”
And they said, “Fuck you Swivels. Get off the stage!”
I stayed awhile.
But a few days after that I was at one of my jobs. I have a few different jobs. Nose jobs, hand jobs, Steve Jobs — jobs are good. I walked into a group of people and said, “Hello upstanding citizens, do you know who the Butthole Surfers are?”
And no one did.
I said, “They’re a band.”
Guy asked me, “Are you in that band?”
“I wish,” I said. “I’d love to do an album called Rembrandt Pussyhorse.”
No one believed me.
I mean, they believed I want to do an album called Rembrandt Pussyhorse, but they didn’t believe me that the Butthole Surfers are a real band. Formed in the 80s. Had another album called Independent Worm Saloon.
These are good titles.
Swivels in, Swivels out.
