On the eve of June 26th
in the year 2001, obscenely wealthy nobelman, Frederick Wigglesworth
Moneybaggs was commissioned to conduct what he thought was
to be an interview on sound financial strategies and dicty social
practices. Much to his shock and dismay, he was interviewing Deirdre.
To make things even more interesting, it also appeared that some
rapscallion had slipped F.W. Moneybaggs some sort of drug, making
F.W.'s usually austere and archaic speech, full of timely colloquialisms.
I'm spoiling it. Enjoy.
Moneybaggs: how do you define excellence?
Deirdre: That womens channel. i think its
called "We." They gave me a free mirror. I
looked into it. There was excellence.
Moneybaggs: Deirdre. This year has
been a year of belt tightening for all of us. Your financial strategy,
however, has made you one of the richest people in Queens I understand.
Can you elaborate on this ?
Deirdre: Well, i manage to stay free of change
in my sister's apt in astoria queens. I am freeloading and loving
it. My family approves of this because my sister lives alone and
is small and vulnerable, so i am welcomed as entertainment and
protection.
Moneybaggs: If I made you an offer
you couldn't refuse what would you do?
Deirdre: I would not refuse that offer.
Moneybaggs: How
much would your life cost? Deirdre, I am not kidding with you
when I say I can fit $14 million -cash- in my shorts at any given
time and frequently do so.
Deirdre: Is this question a frame of reference
for those who would pay to have me killed? or is this question
simply the monetary value of my self worth?
Moneybaggs: All I'm saying is, I've
got $14mil. in my shorts and, which is more interesting to you-
Hollywood Squares or Voltron? ....NEXT QUESTION I'M VERY VERY
BUSY AND WHITE!
Deirdre: Voltron. HS has too much Whoopi
and not enough "Bury Me Not on the Lone Prairie"
Moneybaggs: hehem.
Which of these is best: Montgomery Clift, Montgomery Ward
or Monty Wooly?
Deirdre: Clift. definitely Clift
Deirdre: I noticed you didnt include Montgomery Burns within
the choices....wtf?
Moneybaggs: damn
you!
Moneybaggs: Deirdre. What effect has the most recent Federal
Reserve interest rate reduction had on your personal portfolio?
Can you still afford that Amphicar you ordered....or will you
now be sitting on the passenger side of your best friend's ride?
Deirdre: I was going
to eliminate that question upon seeing the Federal Reserve mentioned,
but because of the TLC reference i'll go on with it.....
Moneybaggs:I'm
waiting
Deirdre: I can no longer afford the Amphicar,
the sage green one with the apricot on white interior (wahhhh).....but
we'll see what happens after I get started with my vending machine
business....specifically Big Mama gum ball machines...placed strategically
in malls throughout NH
Moneybaggs: It has come to my attention
that you attended Sacred Heart. Did this experience make you a)
well rounded b) well, rotund c) cocaine addict , d) Zeze Carr
or e) other EXPLAIN.
Deirdre: My friend Nick convinced me to go
into business with me. that is, go in together on a Big Mama Gumball
machine....theyre about 6 feet tall...
Moneybaggs: So only big mamas can
get balls?
Deirdre: Thats what our slogan is going
to be actually
Moneybaggs: I mean, how are the
youth supposed to receive their tasty morsel?
Deirdre: It sounds really good now that
ive seen it in print, thanks
Moneybaggs: That is going to cost
you a Morgan dollar you harlot. F.W. Moneybaggs does NOT come
cheap
Moneybaggs: Answer my question about your lesbian breeding
ground of a school!
Deirdre: Wait first, are you the same Moneybaggs
who paraded down Madison Avenue with two dollar bills stuffed
in your loafers? and you did this in exchange for only two dollars
more?
Moneybaggs: *tightens tie* Why...
why yes, I am that very same Moneybaggs. A delight in fiscal wizardry
that was.
Deirdre: Can i have 1000 dollars for a frozen
yogurt machine?
Moneybaggs: Tell me why you need
that money in an essay of say....no more than 48 words. On my
desk, by tomorrow morning. And we 'll talk
Deirdre: Ok smallballz, youre playing hardball
Moneybaggs: You're a dumball!
Deirdre: But i sell gumballs!
Moneybaggs: Aye carumball!
Deirdre: Anyway since youre a money know-it-all
and everything, i figure i should ask YOU a question.....the minting
of the Sacagawea gold coin begins..and a year later the economy
is shot to shit......youre smart enough to realize this is NOT
mere coincidence, but direct correlation.....well, right??
Moneybaggs: Monoraillllllllll MONORAILLLLLL
MONORAILLLLLLL
Deirdre: You havent answered my question.
i remember you saying on previous occasions "time is money....bags
of money....Moneybaggs"
Moneybaggs: Sacagawea, or as we
like to say around the office, redskin trollop, was responsible
for giving Lewis and Clark the Clap. Now I ask you, why did we
put this foul temptress on our esteemed currency? If it had been
up to me (and it almost was) appearing on the face of the new
dollar coin would be one F. W. Moneybaggs III. Hear it. Smell
it. Believe It.
Deirdre: I agree completely. I suppose we
were looking for a minority or worse, a woman to be featured on
our new currency, the despicable gold coin...the bane of all NJTransit/Path
train commuters....
Moneybaggs: he hem
Deirdre: However, the "Wea" was
a whore to L, enabling them to claim more of her people's land.
and we feature her on our currency, a currency her people never
used because well they were too busy trading beaver tails at the
river. i say we bring back the classic but wildly unpopular Susan
B...what do you think? if you say yes, Susan B will be made to
be your love slave and chamber maid.
Moneybaggs: I thought Susan B anything
was a fur trader herself.
Deirdre: Anyway, repeat that question about
SH 91
Moneybaggs: And might I add, a currency
they STILL never use as they are too busy swapping children for
cans of Lysol in Saskatoon in attempt to get their proverbial
"buzz" on.
Moneybaggs: It
has come to my attention that you attended Sacred Heart. Did this
experience make you a) well rounded b) well, rotund c) cocaine
addict , d) Zeze Carr or e) other EXPLAIN.
Deirdre: I choose e). after i had been at
college a week or so i realized i was no longer motivated to walk
down the path to my 2.30pm class twice a week and would rather
sit at my computer and drink DC's. and i know nothing about literature
outside of Evelyn Waugh....so i cant answer a). I cant
say b either because i became less rotund after i left SH. proving
that going to school with tall, thin model types and tall thin
model types with bulemia...it catches up with you after a while
and you're glad because you look much better after the fact
Moneybaggs: Deirdre it has come
to my attention that you have fallen asleep during this interview
Deirdre: I drowned in a puddle of my own
sweat, im really sorry
Moneybaggs: Are
you 'penny wise and pound foolish'? and if so, can you tell me
what that means?
Deirdre: I cant tell you what that means.
and honestly all this money talk has made me really uncomfortable.
im not jewish
Deirdre: I've been
knocked off (the computer)
Deirdre: I expected a knocked-up joke
Moneybaggs: But that's where you
would be wrong. I could care less. I just made 6.2 million in
the time you were gone. Deirdre, I am a master of personal wealth
and global respect. Who are you?
Deirdre: I am dd, irish dancing extraordinaire,
NYDolls devotee, creator of such characters as yourself and local
nyc claypunx, Tangent, as well as author of halfwitted poetry
like "Cyclops Land"
Moneybaggs: And now for the last
time-"
Moneybaggs: Nevermind
Deirdre : You always find a way to bring up
kurt cobain dont you? must we end this interview in tears?
Moneybaggs: I think I better get
back to my study. I got paid a PITTANCE to be here
