Metalheads Discovered in the Wild. Captive Metalheads Pump Fists in Jubilation.

It's an oldie, but a goodie.  Enjoy.

In a discovery that both shocked and reassured headbangers around the world, metalheads, after being spotted for almost 20 years by only the very drunk, were once again found in the wild.

Lured out of hiding in a park in Berlin by strategically placed and seemingly “abandoned” bottles of Jack Daniels and sleeveless concert t-shirts, scientists hope to learn more about music fans long thought to be extinct in their natural habitat.

Dr. Brian “Brain” Danzig has been on the trail of the elusive “Metalhead” (Music Quisquiliarum) since a vision while listening to the band Overkill at a kegger in the mid-80s disrupted his plans for a career in orthodontia. “This discovery has everyone in academic circles talking. It’s like reeling in a coelacanth!”

“I have a million questions,” says Dr. Danzig. “For example, how are they getting by? That is, where are they working? How many Kinko’s and coffee shops can there be?”

Dr. Bruce “Yes, That’s My Real Name” Lee concurs. “Up until this discovery, we’d only had brief sightings – very, very late at night, you understand – in my garage, and only after certain parties. And now this! To know that they’re out there, really out there – oh, dude!”

And yet while they are, indeed, “out there”, a female has yet to be sighted.

“Where there are males, there are bound to be females,” enthused Dr. D. F. Geschwollenerkopf.

And while that may be true for most cultural subsets, the status of the metalheads has been in serious decline over the past decade, partly due to the very fact that there are so few females among them.

“We’ve found some very small Sepultura t-shirts and an empty bottle of black nail polish, but of course, those could be anybody’s. Until we find an actual female, I’m afraid we’re just speculating,” says Dr. Geschwollenerkopf.

Plans to lure female metalheads into the open with Malibu shooters and Marlboros Lights are underway.

I actually know one female metalhead, but she stays in hiding in her science classroom. I don't know how much longer she will be safe behind her teacher camoflauge, though~

Geschwollenerkopf translates as "business"+"woolen"+"head"
So I'm guessing he comes from a long line of serious professionals who look like Art Garfunkel, or half of a bridge over troubled water.

Where are they, indeed!

I do all in my power to keep my head on an even keel, to avoid any upset of the tenuous equilibrium that I still have left. For sure metalheads are an endangered species....they are a hazard to themselves.

Could never get into that music ("out there" for sure), but I still enjoyed the post! That's the magic of your writing :)

Great comments!

I think they need a combination of a very deep beat and high pitched whine to mate.
I happen redo a post - new and improved - "I started a blog" parody.
Pearl do you karaoke?

The problem is that the females look just like the males, but with boobs!

Isherwood Wildwalker said...

And how is it, the MetalHead "Babes" are so much more attractive than the "Dudes" ?

Perhaps this attractiveness allows them to "pass" in normal suburban habitat?

Would I count as a metal head if I wear a sauce pan for a hat? I draw the line at black nail polish though! W.C.C.

This is so true. I love it. I remember them from the 90s. Walking home from school, I could see them wobbling out of their homes, making their way to the liquor store for beer and smokes. One day, they all vanished.

I only came for a look because I thought it said "Meatballs" in the title, and I was hungry!
