DDR Get It?!?! jokes - a short story

[AuntieM]

OK. A fellow DDR freak pointed me to this guy's blog, where he describes a special kind of joke called the Get It?!?! joke.

http://vjarmy.com/archives/2004/04/a_guide_to_get.php

Briefly the idea is that you incorporate DDR and other Bemani song titles into your conversation.

Given that I am obsessed with word games and DDR, I had a great time coming up with a little story. This may not be what the blogger had in mind, but I amused myself mightily. I'd love to see some other jokes/paragraphs/stories. if anyone feels like contributing.


The Legend of Max

So I was walking back from the Y.M.C.A. after diving practice (it was only .59 miles) and listening to some music on my Maximizer when I saw my girlfriend at the bus stop. “Hey, baby, you know I love sugar,” I said, and puckered up to give her a kiss. “How’d you like that pink rose I left in your locker the other day?”

But she just held her hand up in my face and said, “Please. Don’t give me that bad routine. You are just telling me a never ending story.” Her look was like a frozen ray.

“Peace out, baby; what’s wrong? You know I get highs off you; I can’t stop falling in love with you, baby. You bring me such joy, such ecstasy! Whatever’s wrong, we can make it better, baby. Only you can do it for me, baby.”

But my sweet words had no effect on that hand she had up. “Max, I am sick and tired of your b.s. I’m seeing someone else.” Then she dropped the bomb. “Well, actually, I understand she is your other girlfriend?”

Damn! She found out about Esmerelda! I was caught in some kind of bizarre love triangle. Cindy was nodding. “That’s right. I’m for real. Our love is absolute. We are so in love we’re going to drop out of school and move to San Francisco.” She pulled out a note and showed me.

B4U I was nothing.
2day I am something.
UR like the sweet sun
And I am the scorching moon

Now let’s get down to it. We aren’t like those moba moga, those fake boys and girls, my little sweetness. We are real. Let’s make some music – we’ll get on the jazz and dance and groove together on planet rock.

Love,
E


Cindy folded up the note again and tucked it into her shirt. “La Senorita and I are going to go west to be with our people, ‘cause sometimes simply being loved by the right person isn’t enough.” She finally put the hand down and shook her head sadly. “So just keep on movin’.”

Now, I’m not, like, a virgin or anything, so I understand that that’s how people are sometimes, and maybe it wasn’t just me, but I was still kinda mad. “So that’s it. It’s ladies’ night all the time with you girls, huh? Well, Max don’t need none of that!”

Cindy rolled her eyes. “Oh, can the paranoia, Max. You know it has nothing to do with you. Even before this you didn’t trust me. You are just filled with paranoia eternal.”

I turned to leave, but shouted over my shoulder for effect, “That’s OK; Max going to have more fun when you’re not here!”

Well, then I was depressed. So I just walked along kicking things, kinda like playing kick the can only stuff gets broken, when it started raining. It was really a gentle rain, and I saw this little firefly, really a cute little guy, but while I was watching him I slipped and fell on my you-know-what. Yeah, yeah, I’m just a trip machine like my momma always said, I know. But you wouldn’t believe how much it hurt! I was outside this haircut place, and right after I fell, the stupid barber came out and started laughing at me. I covered my face with my hands and said, “Man, don't clock me! I feel like crap! I think my butt's broken!”

But the guy said, in broken English, “Ah, these kids in America. They is wacky. If you not such a wild rush, this not happen. You will see – then the reflex will kick in and you will not fall on your butt so much!”

I’m telling you, it’s a miracle I didn't kick him right then and there! But my butt hurt too much to get up.

“Now move your feet, little boy, and get out of here. If you don't move, there you'll be until the police come and get you!” He just sat there laughing.

“Do me!” I said as cleverly as I could with a broken butt. Then I got up and started limping along.

Well, I tell you, I'm just waiting for tonight. Then I'm going to go back there and when I get done his barbershop will be like a toilet paper wonderland, especially if I can climb higher up to that V in Viktoria’s. Then I can string a whole roll right between the V and the A. Yeah, I’m gonna do a little funk boogie on old Viktoria’s place. Cause that is just who I am; that is just the legend of Max.

Still in the throes of my pathetic obession and proofreading, I noticed a mistake:

Instead of "Then she dropped the bomb", it would be correct as "Then she just had to drop the bomb."

Also, if anyone can figure out a way to work in JaneJana, Tsugaru or Theme from Enter the Dragon, let me know!

JaneJana could be another girl (foreign?) and Tsugaru could be her dad possibly. "ladadada... and out played the Theme from Enter the Dragon"... just suggestions *shrug* haha- not bad though.

Some guy?! That's Remy your talkin 'bout, fool!

[AuntieM]

Well, that was more than I needed to know!

Where'd you find that cool stuff? I searched and searched for way more than a minute but all I found was a dead end.

By all means, kiddies, do it all night. I don't give a cat's eye if you guys annoy a few people.

But Hey, you could always touch me if you're feeling in the groove....

OK, a couple of people I've shown the story to have not even realized that there all but about 5 of the song titles from Extreme for PS2 are in that story. That's 65 or so. Check the song list at

I know the traditional Get It?!?! joke is supposed to be quick repartee, but I propose that people who like this kind of thing try their hands at narratives/stories. We could award style points for subject cohesiveness and grammar. It would be...different. And something to do other than surf the web. Perhaps those of you still in school could submit them to your teachers for extra credit.

This thread is gonna last till the end of the century. It's gonna take a kakumei (japanese for revolution) to end the madness or it will just keep on moving.
