Nightlife / Love Thank You Showbox, That Was the Most Fucked Up Show I've Seen in Forever

Posted by Kelly O on Thu, Jul 9, 2009 at 10:21 PM

I was a little worried that yesterday's show starring WWF wrestling legend Jake The Snake, and sideshow freaks, the Jim Rose Circus, might be, well, a little boring. I mean, dudes have aged. I worried for not. Maybe because I got pulled up onstage and got to stand on Jim Rose's head, while he pressed his whole face into a pile of broken glass, maybe that's why I had a amazing time. Or maybe it was because the show also had these 10 other things...

1. Genuine Non-Ironic Superfans

This guy told me he met Jake 20 years ago, and last night, meeting him again, Jake remembered his name (it's "Junior", BTW).

2. A Great Big Scary Snake

They performed for a long time before he went and finally got it. Then the show ended a little abruptly because they couldn't get it under control, or back in the burlap bag.

3. The Human Dart Board

Watching 30-some drunk people take turns throwing darts at this guy's back made everyone squirm. I saw him wipe a tear from his eye too. Crybaby.

Lots more after the jump...

4. The Weird Dude with the Weird Penis

His weird penis also squirted water, and at one point, he squirted water right into my plumber's crack as I knelt on the floor to take a picture.

5. Fuschia FoXXX's Booty

Isn't everything better with Fuschia FoXXX's booty?

6. A Garden Nome Beating Up a Leprechaun

How often do you see that?

7. Jim Rose and Bebe The Circus Queen

When Bebe put the live scorpion in her mouth, then let Jim drop a bowling ball right on her hoo-hoo, I popped a little girl boner. God, she's hot.

8. The "Wrestling"

Some people really did get thrown around a bit. Oh, and did I mention the snake?

9. The Drama

I really did think Jake was gonna suffocate in that bag. Kinda too real.

10. Meeting Jake

He looks like he's been rode hard and put away wet, but dammit, I NEEDED to give him a hug. So did Silvertongue of SSP. So did everybody. We still love you Jake Roberts.

Props to Junior (who OWNS The Ave), Nathan, and Kelly O! I should have been there god damn it, this looks like it KICKED ASS!

I know people hate it when other people do this, but it's "I worried for naught."
Great coverage though. I couldn't bring myself to go because I didn't want to see a sad sack race, but it turns out my worries, too, were all for naught.

If you don't know who Junior is, i'm not sure you have much business being a Seattle reporter, or journalist or whatever you are. You don't know Seattle if you don't know Junior.

It was a way better show than Longview AND Portland. Seattle was seriously the best crowd ever. But couldn't throw darts to save their collective asses. ;)

hugs and kisses Seattle

That show rocked!I went to Portland with them too where I had the pleasure of getting clotheslined by one of my childhood heroes!
I'd like to thank Jim, Jake, and Sinn Bowdee for the oppurtunity!

Amen on Junior. He is a public transit icon, the Slats of Seattle Metro.

What a combination of two nights. It truly was an honor to go shirtless and get my ass kicked for all of you. Now you will remember the name....

Posted by EVIL KIMMEL on July 10, 2009 at 4:26 PM

Glad to hear you enjoyed the show! Of the three shows we did with the tour, Seattle was by far the best...even if they are sadistic bastards who wanted to stick me with darts ;)

Peace,
The Mighty LurchRx aka the Human Dartboard

FYI, that's not Fuchia Foxxx's bootay in that picture. It's Super Geek League's other favorite dancer, Gale Force.

However, either booty DOES make everything better.

Mighty LurchRx! You were pure awesome. I was teasing with the "crybaby" comment!

#11 - I'm dying to see the glass face plant.... don't see the photos on your myspace entry?

Posted by Kelly O on July 13, 2009 at 10:36 AM

How old do you think Junior is? I swear, when I was in highschool in the '80s visiting the Ave for the first time he was dancing along listening to a Walkman high fiving people. He's dressed the same, hung out in the same hood, and pretty much looked the same for 20+ years.

I remember Junior from back when the Underground dance club was around. Respect!
