The Freckled Schlong

This post was inspired by an email conversation I had with MLGF yesterday. Most of you know by now who and what those letters mean and refer to, so no need for explanations. In a recent post of his, he made a poem talking about his freckles, one -- in particular -- in a certain spot mentioned in the title of this post. During an email discussion regarding a comment I left on his blog, he --jokingly-- talked about opening a restaurant with a name that matches the title.

Well, up popped a story regarding said restaurant, freckles and special desserts. I emailed it to him, then decided that perhaps it was good enough to share. So here, for your enjoyment, is the story.

 Dining at the Freckled Schlong


"Hmm, this seems like a good restaurant. Nice and clean exterior. No overgrowth of the shrubbery..."

I enter through the doors. Paintings of The Three Stooges hang on the wall. In the air, music plays as a Deep Purple vinyl spins somewhere in the background. I take a seat at the table as my waiter approaches, wearing a dusty, black softball uniform.

"Can I help you, miss?"

"Um, yes. Can I have a cheeseburger?"

"Sorry, ma'am. We don't serve that here."

"oh." I scan the menu, but the writing is all in Irish.

"Can I have a steak then?"

The waiter shakes his head. "We don't serve that here either."

I close the menu, getting impatient. "Well then. What DO you serve?"

"Spotted dick," the waiter said with a straight face.

"Excuse me?"

The waiter tapped his pen against the notepad. "We have spotted dick."

"Oh my God!" I lift from the seat. "I didn't know this was a bordello."

"We aren't a bordello. We are a restaurant."

"Then you're getting fresh with me? Look, mister... uh." I lean in close to read his name-tag. "Suldog. I don't care how freckled your penis is -- fascinating though that may seem. I don't believe this is the way to pick up a date."

The waiter laughs. "Ma'am, spotted dick is a type of dessert, like a pudding with currants."







"Oh." I flop back into the seat. "I understand now. Okay. I'd like to try some of your spotted dick."

The waiter blushes as red as a lobster. "Ma'am, I'm flattered, but I'm a married man. And it's only one freckle. I wouldn't say it's that spotted."

My forehead smacks into the table. I imagine one of the wall paintings faintly saying, "N-yuk, n-yuk, n-yuk."

  1. Perfect!
    I was thinking along the lines of a pub with a name like that somewhere in the British Isles or Ireland. I'd bet the place serves haggis, too.

  3. Spotted dick. . .

    Of course; pure genius. . .

    I think Sully needs an award, or something. . .

  4. LOL, an award. Good one, Craig. Honestly, I have no idea what to say to this post, other than I was laughing louder than I probably should in polite company (aka work). Thanks for sharing it with us.

  5. Yup, he needs another award and the image could come directly from this post.
