I Was A Teenaged Communist Nymphomaniac

A True Story

My sordid story began the day I bought my new Sperry Top-Siders. I was on my way to Fuel to show the rest of the hipsters when a swarthy old man beckoned to me from an alley off Center. Like any thrill-crazed teenager I followed him back amongst the dumpsters, hoping he would expose himself. Instead he offered me a gnarled little cigarette.

"Go ahead" he lisped lecherously, "You'll like it, and the first one's free."

"What is it?" I asked naively.

"Why, don't you know, sweetpea?" he smirked lasciviously. "It's ... COMMUNISM!"

Like all addicts I told myself that I could try it once, just for kicks, and then quit. But the first pungent, sweet suck of smoke sent me slack-jawed and slavering into a socialist stupor. From that moment the fatal intoxication of anarchy had me hooked, a slave to the International Conspiracy. I craved more and harder stuff and soon began to mainline Maoism. Unable to concentrate on anything but my daily spoonful of socialism, I dropped out of Hi-Y Club and took up with perverted peace-pukes, hustling pinball to support my habit. Sometimes I brought my straight friends to orgiastic communist parties, urging them to snort some Stalin or turn-on to Trotsky.

Yes, I was a real Red Freak but I could't stop. Once, at Thanksgiving, I tried the Cold Turkey cure. The agonizing symptoms of Marxist withdrawal -- runny nose, smelly feet, night soiled sheets -- sent me in a desperate frenzy to Tijuana or TJ (pronounced tee-jay) as it's known in the leftist subculture. There I hit rock bottom, performing the famous "Chiclets-and-a-donkey" perversion for an audience of taxi-drivers. With the dirty money I earned I bought ten lids of Leninism, hid it on the donkey and prepared to run the border.

Then, while waiting in the customs line I received my salvation! I noticed a group of smiling, care-free people dancing and singing the beautiful Joop chang :

"Joop Wah Joop Wah, Wah Wah Joop Joop........"

They brandished a taser and overtook me like a horde of bees, explaining the cosmic mysteries of the Jim Jupiter Crusade. I said "Don't Taze me bro!" but it was too late. I immediately embraced Joop conciousness and found that I no longer needed Communism to get high, I was naturally high on Jupiter! Now I am completely cured and have taken a useful place in society. Take the advice of one who's "been there", listen to Joop and never take that first puff of rancid Radicalism.
