A Recent Conversation with Forky

Posted by Anonymous On 11:06 PM

The following conversation comes to you via Gmail chat. Enjoy.

Forky: So I may not be coming to Texas. Because I may be playing a girl in some play. Dammit.
Cach: I don't know what to do with that statement. Except quote it.
Forky: Apparently I'm the only dude in New York who can act like a woman without it coming off like bad drag.
Cach: Is that a compliment?
Forky: I have no freakin' idea. So yeah ..... I'm playing a girl.
Cach: For sure?
Forky: It was just confirmed. I'm playing the lead. The leading lady.
Cach: And that's more important than coming to see me and Beeki in Waco?
Forky: This is New York we're talking about, Cach. Of course it is.
Cach: How do you expect me to break the news to Bert and Ernie?
Forky: I don't know. Lie.
Cach: You're a cold hearted bastard, Forky.
Forky: What else can I do?!
Cach: Just do the right thing, Forky. That's all I ask.
Forky: Sometimes...sometimes the right thing is the most wrong thing you can do.
Cach: Sophistry.
Forky: Don't you see, Cach? It's finally happened!
Cach: All your dreams of being a woman in New York have finally come true?
Forky: I'm finally getting the opportunity to do what I've always worked for. Yes. I finally get to be the leading lady in a big Off-Broadway show! Off-(mumbleOffmumble) Broadway!!
Cach: So what is this show?
Forky: The Rape of the Lock.
Cach: Mmm hmm...
Forky: SHUT UP! Justin Jones would know what I'm talking about! Doofus! Read a BOOK!
Cach: "Bert and Ernie, I'd like to sing you a little song. It's called 'Cat's in the Cradle...'"
Forky: ........ I'm sure I don't know WHAT you're talking about.
Cach: "Of course Forky likes you, Beeki. I know that you don't have any proof or anything. And I know he sure doesn't act like it. But you're just going to have to trust me..."
Forky: ........ LEADING LADY! Here's a picture of me in the show! I'm beautiful! It's what I've always wanted!
Cach: "Don't worry, Fork Family Manse, Forky really does treasure all the years he spent living in you. It's not your fault..."
Forky: Why can't you be happy for me?! Why can't you JUST BE HAPPY?!
Cach: Because this is waaaaay more fun.
Forky: You're a b-tard!
Cach: "No, Texas, I'm sure Forky hasn't completely abandoned you to pretend he's someone else..."
Forky: I knew you'd never understand. This is who I AM, Scott.
Cach: ???
Forky: And if you can't just be happy for me then...then...
Cach: I'm watching Heroes. Heros? Heroes? How do you spell that?
Forky: Heros are delicious sandwiches.
Cach: So are Heroes.
Forky: No. Heroes are people. Or very brave dogs.
Cach: I'm a hero.
Forky: Are you delicious? Or a dog?
Cach: You'll have to come to Texas to know the truth.
Forky: I'll tell you one thing you're not.
Cach: Asian?
Forky: A cyborg.
Cach: An Asian cyborg?
Forky: I didn't say that.
Cach: So you're saying there's a chance...?
Forky: No. You're totally Asian.
Cach: Don't you mean "Asian American?"
Forky: No. You're totally Oriental.
Cach: *gasp!!!* I'm reporting you.
Forky: DO IT! YOU CAN'T TOUCH ME! I'M ABOUT TO BECOME A FAMOUS ACTRESS!
Cach: Hey, you'd be safe if you were here in Texas! But up in NYC they don't take kindly to your kind of hate.
Forky: Actually, they do.
Cach: The NYC hate police will be picketing your show. I'm getting Westboro to picket your show.
Forky: GOOD! That'll ensure our success!
Cach: I need a vacation.
Forky: That's funny. I need a vagina. Not for me. It's for a friend.
Cach: This whole conversation's going on my blog.
Forky: Yeah. Yeah. I don't blame you.
Forky: So yes. The Judith Shakespeare Company.
Cach: The Jewish Shakespeare Company? What do they do "The Merchant of Venice" every night?
Forky: Judith. Jew-DITH. It's a gender-swapping company. Formed so chicks could play Hamlet. What they forgot is that now men would have to play all the female roles.
Cach: And so you could play Juliet?
Forky: Precisely. Which is actually kinda cool. Because I FINALLY get to show up all the women who have no clue how to perform female characters.
Cach: Haven't you worked for them before?
Forky: I don't think so. I don't know how they had my headshot and rez. But they did.
Cach: Maybe I worked for them.
Forky: They called me in all special-like.
Cach: You know, the whole time I was in NYC I was on crack. I don't remember most of it. I could have worked for them. Maybe I gave them your h/s and res. Or maybe they saw that picture of you I have tattooed on my butt...
Forky: You know, that's probably exactly what happened.
Cach: I ought to get your resume tattooed on the other cheek. Then I would be the most memorable agent in the biz.
Forky: Yes. Yes you would.
Cach: "I'd like to discuss my client..." *zip* "Who's Fo.rky?" "Oh, that's just a mole. His name's Forky."
Forky: What would you do if you got more than one client?
Cach: What? You think your career won't work out? Are you trying to ruin me?
Forky: Well, I mean. No!! I'm just...I'm just saying.
Cach: Why do you hate me? Why do you want my wife and kids to starve? What have you got against my children?
Forky: Umm. They're Jewish. Okay, it's bedtime. And by "bedtime" I mean "play video games with the lights off for an hour"
Cach: Jewish like your theatre company?
Forky: Jew-DITH.
Cach: Okay. Goodnight.
Forky: Okaybye.

  3. Anonymous Said,

    The missing information... (as if there's just one thing missing)... is that earlier in the day Forky referred to my Chinese Aunt as Asian American. When I informed her that she wasn't an American and was therefore properly "Chinese," he assured me that all Asian people were Asian American.

    For the record, yes, this is how most of our conversations go. Who needs narcotics? Not us apparently.

  5. His d@mn#d cat's not in the cradle! He's here, with me, in my house, all the time!

    When will it end? Oh sweet Lord, when will it end?

    And yes, I might know a little something about Pope's irreverent joke-poem, though I think it would benefit from the subtitle: "It's Not About What You Think, You Oversexed Undergraduate A-Holes."
