Lookin’ Back: The Substitute
Movie Star Tom Berenger just invented a new dish: Beef Stew Tacos. First, what ya need are some flour tortillas. Second, take some beef stew you have lying around and lay it on there real thick like. My helper gal, Shanita, made me a batch 2 days ago. You can use Dinty Moore in a pinch. Microwave ‘em ‘til they’re hot as honey on a highschool cheerleader’s thigh. That’s some good eatin’.
Shanita looks a bit like veteran actor and black guy, Ernie Hudson, who I did a job with back in ‘96, called The Substitute.
Movie Star Tom Berenger played John Shale, an ex-Marine turned merc who has to go undercover at a school because his ladyfriend gets her knee busted by some bag of trash named Juan Lacas who was played by some bag of trash named Marc Anthony. Schools are important to Movie Star Tom Berenger so I really had a feel for Shale.
Ernie Hudson pretty much kept to himself on set, which I can understand. The director could barely get out the word “cut” before Ernie high tailed it back to his trailer to “bang out one of his bitches.” Not alot of class from that one, and I don’t say that because of his color, but I can sympathize with his sentiment.
Funny thing about Marc Anthony, while the fella was doin’ the job as a dope pusher, he was actually selling dime bags of skunky brick weed on the set like some sorta animal. One time he asked if I wanted to hear him sing one of the Latino songs he was working on for his music career. I told him I’d love to oblige, just as soon as I got through taking a belt sander to my 4.5 inches of erect penis. He didn’t seem to catch my drift. I think the sarcasm was lost in the language barrier. I politely explained to him that in the USA, weren’t nobody gonna be interested in someone that looks like an AIDS riddled vampire singing crap from a 15-year old mexican’s birthday party. Not even 15-year old mexicans.
He made some crack about my “seester” and I bested him with a left hook. Director Robert Mandel asked what the beef was and I told him we were just working out the fight scene for later in the picture. To his credit, Count Sickula knew better than to tattle on a grown man and did the smart thing by agreeing.
I guess the fella did alright for himself in the end, baggin’ that J-Lo broad with the monster caboose. Too bad for him I already did myself alright in her end, back when she was swinging her tail around on that clown show for brothers in the early ‘90’s.
So, that’s my recipe for Beef Stew Tacos. I’m Movie Star Tom Berenger.
