Tomo Machiyama meets Harry Reems
A Rock Opera
Excerpt
Tomo: So the technique of deep throat was around before the movie?
Harry: It became known as "deep throat" because of Linda (Lovelace). It was being done in the 1700s and the 1800s. Many people had that ability. Most gay people have the ability. But there was no name for it. It was just a blowjob.
T: How about your name?
H: (Gerry Damiano) came up with the name Harry Reems. I used to say, don't use my real name.
T: What is the connotation of the name?
H: Look…Tomo…I'm not going to get into sex particulars. I don't want to talk about blowjobs and fucking. It's not what I do today and I don't use obscenities. So…
T: But I don't know what "Harry Reems" means….
H: Yes you do. "Reeming"?
T: Reeming?
H: I'm not going to answer the question. You look it up in the dictionary.
T: I'm not so familiar with…
H: You obviously are or you wouldn't be asking the question, so don't lie.
T: Well, my English teacher didn't teach me that.
H: Well, you learned it. You've been here six years.
T: Thank you, it's been a very touching story.
I hope Tomo did his best Brian Tochi accent in hopes of tricking Harry Reems into thinking he really didn't know. But what's with Mr. Reems? It's perfectly permissible for Methodists to talk about blowjobs and fucking, provided it's within the context of marriage. Even Jesus himself said "I have meat to eat ye know not of."

I'd like to hear two early-twenties white boys reading that transcript.
What are the odds, though.

Hmmm, can't decide wich bento i want the most, maybe the "Daddy Long-legs"-girl, Bob in the bottles daughter or the teacher from Mask of glass. Was Saban's version of Bob in the bottle a big hit in the US btw? I can't remember it from any "anime on US television"-articles in Animerica or things like that. We got that version in Sweden too and it was extremly "Sabanized". The music was very catchy. Haim Saban and Shuki Levi are the Bacharach/David of bastardized anime-soundtracks.
I volunteer for the "white boy in his early-twenties reading the transcript"-thing btw.
