“I am a modern man” by George Carin.


मैले आजसम्म सुनेका उत्कृष्ट र गहनतम व्यंगहरु मध्येको एक । यो सुन्दासुन्दै वा सुनिसकेपछि एकबाजी हाम्रो आधुनिकताको खोक्रो विशालता, फटाहा अतिरञ्जना र मुक्तिविहिन चक्रव्युहको दैत्याकार चित्रले निसास्सिने गरी थिचिएको महसुस नगरीरहन सक्नुहुनेछैन । 


एकदम दर्शनीय, श्रवणीय, पठनीय र चिन्तनीय प्रस्तुती !


 

Enjoy !

TRANSCRIPT:


 


I'm a modern man,


A man for the millennium,


Digital and smoke free.


 


A diversified multicultural postmodern deconstructionist,


Politically anatomically and ecologically incorrect.


 


I've been uplinked and downloaded.


I've been inputted and outsourced.


I know the upside of downsizing.


I know the downside of upgrading.


 


I'm a high tech lowlife.


A cutting edge state-of-the-art bicoastal multitasker,


And I can give you a gigabyte in a nanosecond.


 


I'm new wave but I'm old school,


And my inner child is outward bound.


 


I'm a hot wired heat seeking warm hearted cool customer,


Voice activated and biodegradable.


 


I interface from a database,


And my database is in cyberspace,


So I'm interactive,


I'm hyperactive,


And from time-to-time,


I'm radioactive.


 


Behind the eight ball,


Ahead of the curve,


Riding the wave,


Dodging a bullet,


Pushing the envelope.


 


I'm on point,


On task,


On message,


And off drugs.


I got no need for coke and speed,


I got no urge to binge and purge.


 


I'm in the moment,


On the edge,


Over the top,


But under the radar.


 


A high concept,


Low profile,


Medium range ballistic missionary.


A street-wise smart bomb.


A top gun bottom feeder.


 


I wear power ties,


I tell power lies,


I take power naps,


I run victory laps.


 


I'm a totally ongoing bigfoot slam dunk rainmaker with a proactive outreach.


A raging workaholic.


A working ragaholic.


Out of rehab,


And in denial.


 


I got a personal trainer,


A personal shopper,


A personal assistant,


And a personal agenda.


 


You can't shut me up,


You can't dumb me down.


'Cause I'm tireless,


And I'm wireless.


I'm an alpha male on beta blockers.


 


I'm a non-believer and an over-achiever.


Laid back but fashion forward.


 


Up front,


Down home,


Low rent,


High maintenance.


 


Super size,


Long lasting,


High definition,


Fast acting,


Oven ready,


And built to last.


 


I'm a hands on,


Foot loose,


Knee jerk,


Head case.


 


Prematurely post traumatic,


And I have a love child who sends me hate mail.


 


But I'm feeling,


I'm caring,


I'm healing,


I'm sharing.


A supportive bonding nurturing primary care giver.


 


My output is down,


But my income is up.


I take a short position on the long bond,


And my revenue stream has its own cash flow.


 


I read junk mail,


I eat junk food,


I buy junk bonds,


I watch trash sports.


 


I'm gender specific,


Capital intensive,


User friendly,


And lactose intolerant.


 


I like rough sex.


I like rough sex.


I like tough love.


I use the f word in my email,


And the software on my hard drive is hard core, no soft porn.


 


I bought a microwave at a mini mall.


I bought a mini van in a mega store.


I eat fast food in the slow lane.


 


I'm toll free,


Bite sized,


Ready to wear,


And I come in all sizes.


 


A fully equipped,


Factory authorized,


Hospital tested,


Clinically proven,


Scientifically formulated medical miracle.


 


I've been pre-washed,


Pre-cooked,


Pre-heated,


Pre-screened,


Pre-approved,


Pre-packaged,


Post-dated,


Freeze-dried,


Double-wrapped,


Vacuum-packed,


And I have an unlimited broadband capacity.


 


I'm a rude dude,


But I'm the real deal.


Lean and mean.


Cocked, locked and ready to rock.


Rough tough and hard to bluff.


 


I take it slow.


I go with the flow.


I ride with the tide.


I got glide in my stride.


 


Drivin' and movin',


Sailin' and spinnin',


Jivin' and groovin',


Wailin' and winnin'.


 


I don't snooze,


So I don't lose.


I keep the pedal to the metal,


And the rubber on the road.


 


I party hearty,


And lunch time is crunch time.


 


I'm hanging in,


There ain't no doubt.


And I'm hanging tough,


Over and out. .. …
