Karl Welzein is America. Or, more accurately, he is 'Merica. Under the handle @Dadboner, the beer-swilling, Applebee's-devouring, jorts-sporting son
of Grand Blanc, Mich., has cultivated a devoted following on Twitter,
where he doles out such nuggets of wisdom as "Boozin' ain't math" and
"If the world wants to flush you down the toilet, just be the king of
the sewer." Now, he's done written a book, Power Moves: Livin' the American Dream, U.S.A. Style,
and he's hitting the road to inspire the country in person. We asked
Welzein—who some say is just a comic named Mike Burns, though that seems
like some conspiracy bullshit if you ask me—to tell us about the
essential items in his basement-on-wheels.
- Babes. Preferably consensual and erotic. Piled high with all the toppings and ready to rock for a post-show rendezvous or one-on-one convo.
- Cold ones. At least 1,000. Heard Diamond Dave used to ask for an extra tour bus just for cold ones and babes. Both premium, of course.
- Cheetos. Iâm a bold-flavor man from way back, and Cheetos lend such great texture to any dish. Hamburgs? Brats? âZa? Really off the chain.
- A boob tube with the NFL package. I gotta watch my Lions. You go outta town and they donât show Detroit! So stupid. Theyâre Americaâs team.
- Copies of Timehouse. Itâs a Penthouse with a Time cover. Iâm the publisher and CEO. It's a must for today's tasteful gentlemen on the go.
- Plenty of âlogne. It's important to keep your bod fresh so you donât gross out the babes. Canât be smellinâ like some street animal.
- A boombox sound system complete with all the classics on CD (not cassette). Seger, Whitesnake, the Crüe, Kid Rock, Cinderella, Van Halen...
- Back-up jean shorts. Dave wiped his smelly behind with my pair the other day âcause he âhad no choice when I used up the TP.â So steamed.
- Maps of where the local Chiliâs or âBeeâs are. Theyâre pretty much the hottest spots in the country for late-night action right now.
- More babes. Can never have too many ripe and mature chest beefers, you guys.
