The Mixed Up Mozzarella Man
Pizza isn’t everybody’s favorite food because the universe loves melted
Gouda. Nobody today, is waiting online to inhale entire pizza pies drenched in
smoked cheeses like gouda, unless you’re a hardcore Dutch dude from Amsterdam
in lower Manhattan on holiday, because working Europeans get 5 weeks of a paid
vacation and have nothing better to do than try the new Gastro pub in town,
Crackers and Brews, which offers state of the art mini pizza’s on in-house made
crackers, to leave more room inside for perpetual IPA poundage soon after.
Mozzarella will always be the most popular cheese in New York, because you’re
not melting sharp Vermont cheddar cheese on a Veal Parm hero in NOHO either.
Mozzarella is the king of NY cool dominance like Laurence Fishburne and Westley
Snipes in New Jack all wrapped up into one. Am I being too talky, again boss?”
Boss says, “There’s no practicing schtick in the dressed-up Mozzarella
hawking game off St. Marks place, especially knowing you can practice your
routine at a plethora of open mikes throughout the east village and Brooklyn,
that ANTIFA hasn’t planned to take over yet in your own spare, non-billable
time, where you can continue to make jack shit, spewing semi-coherent streams
of thought, that never amount to as much hilarity mountaintops as you
think.” Talking Mozzarella Stick says, “Alright boss, I’ll stick to
the script and only ask girls who pass me by, “Have you ever been sticked
by Big Buster before? Because you know I have but his name was Dave from Long
Island, not Big Buster, which reminds me of a fat white rapper who had no role
models to emulate really. Beastie Boys always rocked skinny, jeans dragging off their
ankles and shit. Vanilla Ice always opted for the flaptastic, fly guy silk
sweats. Anthrax was the backup thrash metal band for Public Enemy on Bring The
Noise and they’re scrappy skinny yet muscular metal white boys from
Queens, the former breeding ground for Dee Sider from Twisted Sister, Nasty
Nas, Black Sheep, 3rd Bass. I know the list is a greatest hits one that keeps you guessing whose even bigger on the list next. Art Garfunkel, the angelic sounding Jew and Paul Simon both hail from Queens, which stings the Republican gentile who’s jealous of
creatively successful Jews, who didn’t take the Bernie Madoff route, I totally get it. But to
round out the list of all-time great artists from Queens, you also have to include the consistently funny and transcendent Cyndy Lauper while also giving a loving, gushing shout out in honor of showrunner and comedic writer, ball busting great, Doug Ellen behind Entourage, who made the legendary show on HBO infinitely cooler than Wahlberg’s producer name credits it on it. Doug Ellen is the funnier, cooler, version of John Favreau, until he started to produce, direct and write every episode it seems
for the first season of Mandalorian, asshole. Look, I think John Favreau deserves a shot to reimagine Boba Fett’s backstory for Disney just for teaming up with Vince again on Made alone, even more than Richard Linklater for making Dazed and Confused
the pitch perfect film to come out my senior year in high school among my old
school pinko brethren buds of old. But still, asshole, if you’re creatively
competitive at all, knowing John Favreau directed Elf, all the Iron Man’s and
wasn’t too shabby in Rudy or PCU either. ” The big boss in charge of
founding and running Mozzarella Man, says to his mouthy, unknown, unrepresented
wannabe standup comedy star, “If you love John Favreau so much, then write
your screenplay about being Vince Vaughn’s non-successful twin brother, because
you look like him in a pre-good living, insomniac fashion and leave me out of
it already.”
