Where Sheep Bleat the Phunky Beats
By Brother Ragnarok
Hello, my name is Ragnarok (well, no, it
really isn’t, but for now let’s pretend that I’m
not a geek who made that up and that it is in
fact my name), and I’m from Iowa (that I’m not
making up, I really am from Iowa). I’d like to
start by saying I am one of approximately four
people my age who are not either ashamed or
spiteful of their home state. To the other
quarter million or however many of them there
are, a hearty “go fuck yourself.” The most
common complaint I’ve heard: “It’s flat and
boring.” No shit, that’s what happens when a
glacier the size of a small country rolls across
dirt. As far as boring, what else is going on
in every other state in the union that’s so
hot? Is New Mexico so much better than Iowa?
How about Nevada? Or the entire South for that
matter (well, to be fair, what isn’t better
than the entire South)?

We don’t have any really big cities except
for Des Moines, and all they can honestly claim
to have is Slipknot which isn’t much to brag about.
But really, what are you looking for, a good
discotheque? Who cares if there isn’t a Starbuck’s
Dance Club Techno Rave Emporium on every street
corner. Have you ever sat outside in a flat,
grassy field with fog covering the ground and a
full moon filtering softly through the trees
over your head? Ten minutes of that is worth a
lifetime of snorting coke in the bathroom of a
transvestite club with a shemale named Frank short
for Francine.

And for all those who think farmers are
rock-stupid hillbillys who tool around on rusty
old tractors and hang out in gas stations all
day, may you fall ass-first on a salt-encrusted
ice auger. Farming is a high-stress and high-
risk job which requires quite a bit of intelligence
and planning that not a one of you limp-wristed
city faggots could take for more than a few hours
without running back to your leather-lined
Eddie Bauer Edition Sport Utility Environment
Destroyer SSXLGT5000 that is capable of
climbing mountains but has never even seen a
gravel road because it might get dusty and driving
home so you can watch Melrose Place and talk faux-
philosophy with your hipster friends who can’t
even use the phrase “begs the question” in the
right fucking context. So just be thankful we
decided to GROW ALL YOUR FUCKING FOOD FOR YOU,
YOU GODDAMN UNGRATEFUL LITTLE SHITS! Because
you know damn well you couldn’t do it on your
own if you tried. Know how much phosphorus needs
to be applied to a field of soybean plants so
they’ll be healthy and give a good yield? Huh?
That’s right. Fuck you. Yes, if we had been
having this conversation face to face that
sentence would have been done in one breath. Now
that I’ve gotten all that off my chest, on to
the point I had started off intending to make one
paragraph in.

I’m from Iowa, and Iowa is in the Midwest.
Shocking, I know. This part of the country has
given rise to one of the stranger phenomenon I’ve
noticed in my life. Even stranger than when
someone comes into the video store intending to
rent a porno, but spends two hours looking at
every other movie in the store to make it look
like they just had to rent Cum Guzzling Co-Eds
Part 912 because... well... nothing else just
looked that good to them. Even stranger than
people thinking that congratulating friends and
loved ones for the tremendously mediocre task of
graduating high school is a good idea and not an
insult to one’s intelligence worthy of starting a
small war over in some Third World countries.

I speak of gangsta cowboys. Let me
clarify. Black people who think they’re white,
and white people who think they’re both black
and white at the same time. Only in the Midwest
can you see white boys in camouflage hunting
vests and cowboy hats come into a record store
and ask “You guys got that new 50 Cent record?”
(as a side note, everyone who asks that question
should be hit in the face with a tire iron).
Conversely, only in the Midwest will you see
black guys bedecked in Lugz or whatever street
fashion is currently popular for the next sixteen
minutes come in to a record store and ask for the
new Darryl Worley album (again, an offense worthy
of being bludgeoned with a tire iron). In short,
it’s the only place in the entire world where
you can be cruising the loop and a tricked out
Honda Accord (or whatever gay-looking, wimpy-
sounding rice-burner the kids are racing these
days) with steer horns on the hood pulls up next
to you, the driver putting down his 40 oz. Old
English and shooting you through the head so he
can steal your cowboy boots.

So, since Fedeler and Ferox dont' think this
work of fart has an end and will bitch at me for
the rest of the afternoon until there's a clear
conclusion to my rant, we're having a contest.
Whomever of you who has the strangest brand of
moron, idiot, flamer, or otherwise dickweed can
write in to us at my e-mail
and spout off about your ninnyhammers. The one
with the oddest breed of dillhole will win a prize
that we'll decide on later. Might be gold, might
be poop, who knows.
