Show me that little dance
you-all be doing.

- I told y’all to stop running in here.
- Yes, ma’am.

I’m gonna smack one
of you now, you hear?

Them pants cost $ .
baby, you hear?

See that chocolate cake
I bought?

The chocolate cake
that was on the counter?

- Yeah.
- Well, check Cousin Cecil’s pockets.

He probably got it in there with the
turkey leg and the sweet potato pie.

Hey, little brother. Show me that
little dance you-all be doing.

Get down, Lester, you is talking!

You move like you’re .

That dance ain’t new. It ain’t nothing
but the old shuffle-butt.

Well, show me that move.

Oh, Lester, sit your drunk ass down.

Can’t you see the kids
are trying to put a show on there?

Lester, she ain’t your mama.

- Yeah. Yeah.
- Junior!

Vanessa. Come on, Vanessa.

Come on, baby.
Sing a song for Grandma.

- That’s my granddaughter.
- That’s my niece.

Mama, I got a joke.

Little Eddie got a joke to tell.
Go on, Eddie.

Eddie. Eddie.

I got a joke to tell.

Once there was a lion
and a monkey.

The monkey said,
“I can make the weather change.”

And the lion said,
“No, you can’t.”

So the monkey started
climbing up the tree.

And then he started peeing
on the lion’s head.

“Now it’s raining!”

Then he started farting.

“Now there’s thunder!”
Then he started doo-dooing.

“Now it’s snowing!”

So the lion said, “Oh, yeah?
Well, I can make the stars come out.”

And then he kicked him
in the ding-ding.

Thank you.

I love that doo-doo line.
That boy’s got talent.

My favorite movie is Trading Places.

- Hrs. Has to be.
- Trading Places.

- Beverly Hills Cop.
- Delirious.

- Beverly Hills Cop.
- No, Hrs.

- All of them.
- Hrs.

- All of them.
- Hrs.

I even liked Best Defense.

I’m looking forward to seeing
him in that leather suit.

- I’m telling you, that behind and all.
- Yeah, he’s looking sexy.

- He looks good.
- Handsome.

Thank you.

Sit down. Everybody, sit, sit.
Cool out.

Thank you, thank you, thank you,
thank you, thank you, thank you.

And hello, New York City!

Thank you for coming out.

Don’t let the lights and cameras
throw y’all.

We filming a movie here tonight
and y’all gonna be in this shit.

Except only I’m getting paid
for the motherfucker.

Every now and then
I take a joke too far.

That’s why I haven’t been
on the road the last three years.

Did y’all see Delirious?

In Delirious, I was making fun
out of a lot of entertainers too.

That’s when I got scared.
I did some jokes about Mr. T.

And Mr. T was gonna fuck Ed up.
He was…

And I was scared,
because y’all seen Mr. T.

He don’t look like, you know,
like he can’t fight.

He looks like he can
whip some ass, right?

And I was petrified. I would walk
at parties and people say:

“Yo, man, Mr. T was just here
looking for you.”

He was walking up
to people saying:

“I’m gonna whip Eddie Murphy’s ass
when I see him.”

Then I watched his show,
because I didn’t know him,

to see what kind of guy he was,

and the character on the show
ain’t too bright.

So I figured if he came up to me,
I could use the Jedi mind trick on him.

Mr. T walk up and go, “I heard
you did some jokes about me.”

“No, you didn’t.”
“Maybe I didn’t.”

“I’m gonna go beat up the fool
that told me them lies.”

I’d be at parties,
hear he was looking for me,

I would just leave.
I don’t wanna fight Mr. T.

Then I found out Michael Jackson
was looking for me. I was like…

When Mike…
My manager called me up and said:

“Yo, man, Michael Jackson is mad.”
I was like, “So?”

You know, because I’d fuck Mike up.
You know, Mike…

Mike don’t weigh but a buck-oh-five,
you know.

I bust that ass on Mike. I was looking
for him, but my manager said:

“We don’t know everything
about Michael.

“He might be this bad motherfucker
behind closed doors.

“He’s a recluse. Behind closed doors,
he might be completely different.”

And I’d be at a party and have
Michael walk up to me one day

and it’d be like this:

“Can I talk to you for a minute?

“Yeah, what’s your motherfucking
problem, man?

“Well, how come you keep
fucking with me then, huh?

“What’s all the motherfucking jokes?
You don’t like my clothes?

“I’m Michael-motherfucking-Jackson,
I will bust your ass.

“Get the fuck out, motherfucker…

“I will moonwalk all up and down
your ass, motherfucker.

“You mind your
motherfucking business.

“I hear some more shit,
I’m gonna put this glove up your ass.

“I’ll see you later.”

That’s a dumb…
I could never…

I’ve been trying for five months
to do the moonwalk

and I can’t do the shit. It’s shitty.

It’s the dumbest dance ever,
because I can’t do it,

that’s why I say it’s stupid.

But how can you do the moonwalk
and ask a woman to dance?

Be at a party, say, “Hey, baby,
come on, let’s dance. See you later.”

Do the moonwalk. That’s some stupid
shit. Michael can do that shit, though.

Michael’s so famous,

Michael went on TV and everything
he says, the public believes.

Went on television and said:

“I don’t have sex because
of my religious beliefs.”

And the public believed it.

I know brothers were like,
“Get the fuck out of here.”

And white people go, “That Michael’s
a special kind of guy.

“He’s special. I mean, he’s good,
clean and wholesome.”

You know how I knew y’all believed it?

Y’all didn’t get mad when he took
Brooke Shields to the Grammys.

Nobody white said shit.

And Brooke Shields
is the whitest woman in America.

Miss America every year is Brooke.
Fuck who you see with the crown.

You look up “white woman”
in the dictionary,

be a picture of Brooke like this:

She’s white.

And this nigger took her
to the Grammys, nobody said shit.

If I took Brooke Shields
to the Grammys,

y’all would lose your mind.

Because y’all know Brooke
would get fucked that night.

And Brooke knew too.

That’s why we going this year.
No…

Stop. Now, see?
I did jokes about…

I did a lot of jokes about homosexuals
a couple years ago

and faggots were mad.
They were like…

And they were… There’s nothing like
having a nation of fags looking for you.

I’d be at parties… There’s always
two or three at a party.

They’d be standing around looking
at you, they’d be looking at…

“He’s an asshole.”

I can’t travel the country
freely no more.

I can’t go to San Francisco.

They got -hour homo watch
waiting for me in the airport.

Soon as I got off the plane,
they’d be like:

“He’s here, yes. Yes, it’s him.
Yes, it’s him!”

And the cars would come rushing
across town. It’d be:

And it won’t be no siren, it’ll be
a real fag sitting on the roof going:

“Pull over. Pull over.

“Pull over.
I’m gonna read him his rights.

“You have the right to remain silent.

“Anything you say can and will
be held against you.

“You have the right to an attorney.
Turn around. I’m gonna frisk you.

“You carrying any concealed
weapons?

“Are you carrying…?
What is this? What is this?

“Lay down on the floor
and spread them.”

- Do you watch the Bill Cosby Show?
- Yeah!

I do too.
I love Bill Cosby’s show.

I been a big fan of Bill Cosby
all my life.

Never met the man before,
but he called me up about a year ago

and chastised me on the phone
for being too dirty on-stage.

It was real weird,
because I had never met him

and he just thought it was… He should
call me up, because he was Bill,

and tell me that he did…
About what comedy is all about.

And I sat and listened
to this man chastise me.

And when Bill Cosby chastises you,
you forget you grown.

You feel like one of
the Cosby kids and shit.

And I ran in the house
all excited to talk to Bill

and picked up the telephone
and Bill got raw on me.

I was like, “Hello, Mr. Cosby?”
And you hear:

“I would like to talk to you…

“…about some of the things
that you do in your show.

“Now, I’m going to tell you a story.”
He always tells you stories.

“I would like to tell you a story.
I have five children.

“One, two, three, four, five.
Five… Five children.

“I live in Massachusetts with my wife,
Camille, and my five children.

“Now, of the five children that we have,
there are four girls and a boy.

“The boy’s name is Ennis.
He loves everything you do.

“Comes home from school
the other day

“with a big smile on his face.
And my son looks just like me.

“He walks through the door,
looking at me with this big smile,

“and I cannot resist, because
it’s such a beautiful smile.

“And he walks up and I say,
‘What are you smiling about? ‘

“And the child says to me:

‘I’m smiling because I need money
to go see the Eddie Murphy show.

‘Please give me money for a ticket.’

“Now, if the child is smiling this way
because he needs money for a ticket,

“I have to give him money
for a ticket.

“I do not handle the money
in the house.

“My wife, Camille,
handles the ticket money.

“So I must go into the kitchen,

“to where my wife is cooking dinner
for the family.

“And she is inside
the kitchen cooking.

“And she’s got a bowl.

“And she’s cooking up the food, man.
She’s cooking it up.

“And the child walks in the room
with the smile

“and he says,
‘Mother, please, money.’

“She gives him the money,
he runs off to see your show.

“Now, we sit in the living room
waiting for Ennis to return.

“At about : in the morning,
the child comes through the door.

“He has a different look on his face.

“A look like he heard something at your
show that he’s never heard before.

“And I say to my child,
I say, ‘Child… ‘

“I say, ‘What did the man say
on the stage? ‘

“And he says, ‘Pop, the man
comes out and says these things.’

“I say, ‘Well, what did he say? ‘

‘Pop, he comes out
and says some stuff.’

“I say, ‘What did he do? ‘

‘Pop, he walks out and he goes:

“Hello, suck this, and MF
and kiss my big black stuff.

“And suck it and stick it down
in your mouth and suck it, suck it.”‘

“You cannot say filth, flarn, filth,
flarn, filth in front of people.”

And I say, “I never said
no ‘filth, flarn, filth’.”

“You know what I’m talking about.

“I can’t use the type of language
that you use,

“but you know what I mean when
I say ‘filth, flarn, flarn, flarn, filth’.”

I say, “I never said ‘filth, flarn, filth’.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.
I’m offended you called. Fuck you.”

That’s when Bill got pissed and said:

“That’s what I’m talking about.
You cannot say ‘fuck’…

“…in front of people.”

And I got mad.

Because he thought
that was my whole act.

Like I just walked out on-stage
and cursed and left.

I manage to stick in some
jokes between the curses.

You couldn’t give no curse show.
Walk out, say, “Hey, Felt Forum,

“motherfucker, dick, pussy,
snot and shit. Good night.

“Good night. Suck my dick.
Bye-bye.”

I was pissed off. I was so mad
I called Richard Pryor’s house up.

I said, “Yo, Richard,
Bill Cosby just called me up

“and told me I was too dirty.”
Richard said:

“The next time motherfucker call,
tell him I said, ‘Suck my dick.’

“I don’t give a fuck.

“Whatever the fuck make
the people laugh, say that shit.”

He said, “Do people laugh
when you say what you say?”

I said, “Yes.”
“Do you get paid?” I said, “Yes.”

He said, “Well, tell Bill I said:

‘Have a Coke and a smile
and shut the fuck up.’

“The Jell-O pudding-eating
motherfucker.”

Richard… Richard is the rawest
motherfucker in show business.

Richard’s the one that made me
wanna do comedy.

When I was little, I wanted to be
Richard Pryor so bad I used to…

Remember, you’d sneak in
the basement, put his albums on,

and your mother ain’t
supposed to hear,

and you’re listening to this shit
and I turned it…

I wanted to be Richard so bad, I used
to go out on-stage when I was

and talk and act and walk
and do everything like Richard.

My mother would sit there and watch
her -year-old son on-stage

saying some outlandish shit.

My whole act back then
was about taking a shit,

because that’s all I had done at .

That was my life experience,
but it sounded like Pryor jokes.

I’d be going, “You ever, sometime,
right, you get on that toilet

“and when you shit,
that water splash up on your ass?

“Don’t that make you mad, right?
You know what really make me mad?

“It’s when shit come
halfway out your ass,

“then go back up
in that motherfucker.

“Right? Why do shit be teasing
your ass, right?

“Just get the fuck out, right?

“You know what really bother me

“is when you be straining
for a long time, right?

“And one little pebble shit come out.

“Right? Be some shit this big, right?

“Push your head
up your asshole, say:

‘That’s all the shit I’m gonna get,
motherfucker? ‘

“You know what really
make me mad,

“when your ass
don’t cooperate with you

“and clench up
and break the shit in half.

“You be mad
as a motherfucker too,

“because you know
you got to wipe your ass

“for, like, five hours and shit, right?

“Use rolls of toilet paper
on that motherfucker.

“You know what really make me mad,
though, is afterwards, right?

“You done all the shitting you
gonna do for the whole day, right?

“You finish shitting and you flush
the toilet and wait a second

“and one chunk come back.

“What does that chunk want?”

That was my act.
My mother sit there shocked.

If you don’t speak English,
you can’t hear that bit.

All you hear is “shit, ass, shit, shit.”

I got a lot of foreigners
that come over.

People from other countries have seen
my films and come over to the U.S.,

because New York
is a tourist place,

and they get HBO
and they catch Delirious

and they can’t speak English
and try to do my act

and all they got is the curses.

I got foreigners from all over
walking up, going:

“Eddie Murphy! Fuck you!

“Fuck you, Eddie.

“I know you. I see you on television.

“You’re the ‘fuck you’ man, right?

“I love it. Suck my dick, huh?

“Suck it, you black motherfucker.

“I love it. The best motherfucker.
The ‘fuck you’ man.”

Made me stay in the house, man.
Almost got married last year.

Don’t you “ooh” and “aah”.

Got to get married in the ‘ s.
I read the papers.

I said, “Fuck this, I’m getting out.”

Hey, you know, read.
You can catch some shit.

You can’t just keep messing around
like you used to.

Eventually, your dick will fall off.

Remember…? Remember, like,
VD in the ‘ s?

That shit don’t just sting no more.
Every time they cure something,

it come back stronger.
VD is new and improved now.

They got dudes in the doctor’s office
with symptoms like, “Excuse me, doc,

“what does it mean when you
go to the bathroom

“and fire shoot out your dick?”

“Let me get this right.
So you’re getting a burning sensation

“when you urinate?”

“No, fire shoot out my dick, is all.

“A burst of flame fly out my dick
when I pee.

“I can’t even pee in the house, I burn
my house down. I gotta go outside.

“I was outside peeing,
dude tried to mug me,

“I turned around and burned him up
on the street.

“Because my dick is a blowtorch,
is what I’m trying to say.”

Got to be careful.
They say having casual sex nowadays

is like playing Russian roulette.

And I know I’ve thrown my dick
on the crap table many a night.

Looking for Miss Right,
you be gambling every time.

You gambling with your dick, saying,
“Come on, need a woman with a mind.

“Come on, now. I need somebody
perfect for me. Give it to me, now!

“Oh, shit. Fat, bucktoothed bitch.
No, give me my dick back. No.

“I’m gonna keep rolling.
I got one more roll in me.

“I want the perfect woman, now.
I want somebody with a mind,

“intelligence, a nice ass and a body.
Give it to me, now!

“Oh, skinny cockeyed bitch.
No, give my dick back.

“Give my dick back.
Now, listen, be quiet.

“I’m gonna keep rolling.
This is my last roll.

“This is the last one.
This is the one for me.

“Miss Right. Blow on this for luck.

“This is my last roll.
Come on. Here we go.

“Give it to me, now!
Oh, shit. Herpes. I crapped out.

“My dick is fucked up.
My dick is ruined.”

So be careful. Get married.

I went out and found
the perfect woman.

Nineteen years old. Beautiful face.
A virgin. Nobody ever fucked her.

And had an ass like this:

And her legs are like:
Her titties are like:

She was so fine. She’s one
of the people that’s so fine,

when you see them,
they make you ugly.

You be like, “Goddamn,
who is that motherfucker?”

She was fine.
I went, I cut all my girls off.

I said, “That’s it, I’m getting married.
This is it. Gonna be me and her.”

I was so happy. And I went out
and I went shopping.

And I was waiting on the line
and I saw the Enquirer magazine

while I was waiting on the line

and I saw Johnny Carson
on the front page.

There was a picture of him like this:

Then I said, “What’s up with Johnny?”
I turned to the inside story

and his wife was on the other page
and she was like this:

And over her head it said, “Johnny’s
wife wants half Johnny’s money.”

I turned that shit back to Johnny.

Then I started thinking about it.
Half.

If you… If you have $

and have to give somebody
$ . you’d be upset.

Johnny had to have
at least million.

And have to give up $ million?

And they wasn’t even married
but ten years.

And $ million? Get…

Give me a fucking break.
What…? What…?

And ladies… Now, here’s a woman
right here saying, “Right on.”

Baby, that’s not fair.
Not no million.

I see a lot of you ladies going:

“Get all the money you can, shit.
I’m glad she did get all that money.

“She earned it. She earned it.
That… You damn right.

“She was married to him,
she deserved that money.”

Get the fuck out of my face
with that bullshit.

No. Stop it.

No, don’t get me wrong.

If you marry somebody
and neither one of you have anything

and you build million together,
you deserve half.

But Johnny was million in
when they met.

And I’m quite sure she knew.

Johnny says, “Hey, I’m Johnny.”

She was like, “I know who you are,
motherfucker.”

And they got married, broke up,
shit didn’t work out.

And then he had to give her
$ million of his money.

I know a lot of housewives
sitting out there going:

“You can’t put a price on what I do.”

But, ladies, if you marry a man
with $ million,

you ain’t no regular housewife. You
ain’t got to clean the house no more.

You get a maid.
You ain’t cleaning shit!

You marry a man with $ million,
you ain’t cooking. You’re eating out.

You marry… You know how a lot of
housewives gotta get jobs on the side

to help make ends meet?

He got million, the ends
are meeting like a motherfucker.

What you gonna do, get a job at
a boutique on the weekends and shit?

And say, “Here, Johnny.
I made $ put that with the rest.

“Now we have $ million and .

“Because I want to do my share.”
No.

All you have to do, you marry
a man with $ million,

is fuck your husband.

That’s it! That’s your job.

Fuck your husband! That’s it.
That’s… Just fuck your husband.

You fill out a W-
they say, “What you do?”

You say, “I fuck my husband.”
That’s it.

And I’ve had my share of pussy.

I have yet…
Even if the pussy was great

and sparks shot out
the woman’s ass

and cannons blared
and the mountains crumbled

and the seas roared,

no pussy is worth $ million!

No pussy.

I’d like to meet some pussy like that.

Put the shit on layaway.

That shit scared the shit out of me.
Half? I was petrified.

Man, you know what’s real scary

is that American women in the ‘ s
have become very business-conscious.

Y’all the most resourceful

and the most business-smart
women on the planet. Now, in the ‘ s.

And it would be an asset to us,
as American men,

if you weren’t so vindictive.

Because the two don’t match.

Then, what’s really fucked up,
is y’all the most loving people.

American women
are all off into this romance

and they genuinely
fall in love with you.

Now, love and money do not mix.
The shit don’t mix.

Especially if you got
a business-smart woman…

You go up and say, “I never met
anybody like you before.”

“I never met anyone like you.”
“Why don’t we be together.”

“Will you marry me?”
“I thought you’d never ask.”

“Before we get married, why don’t
you sign this prenuptial agreement.”

“What do you mean,
a prenuptial agreement?”

“That’s a contract that stipulates
if we ever break up,

“you take what you had
and I take what I had.”

“First of all, I don’t give a fuck who
you are and what you have, OK?

“You got a lot of motherfucking nerve
by asking me to sign a contract.

“There’s nothing a man can do
for me that I can’t do for myself.

“You got a whole lot of…
I love you.

“Telling me to sign a contract
to show that I love you?

“If I need something, I can go to my
family. My family takes care of me.”

And men hear all that shit
and we be like this, “OK.

“We don’t need no contract.”

And you don’t get a contract
and get married without one

and the shit don’t work out
and you break up a year later.

She’s sitting around
in the kitchen by herself, mad,

trying to figure out a way
to get even with your ass.

“I can’t believe that motherfucker
did this to me!

“After all the shit I did…

“All the things I did for that
motherfucker, he do this to me?

“Him and his fat bitch
can kiss my ass!

“I don’t give a shit about
either one of them.

“I don’t want shit from him or her
and I don’t care.

“You know something? You know
what I should…? You know…?

“Half!

“I’ll take half his shit!”

And they’ll get it.

They’ll get half your money,
your house, your car, alimony,

child support and your children.

You will be on the cover
of the Enquirer like this:

So be careful!

I started having nightmares.

I was waking up in the middle
of the night like this: “Half!”

Because I’m into American women.
I like American women.

I got a friend
got a Japanese girlfriend.

And Japanese women are
the most docile women on the planet.

They’re real… They’re real timid,
timid, timid, timid women.

I walked in the house
and his friend, Japanese girl,

bowed to me when I walked in.

I said, “What’s wrong
with your wife’s back and shit?”

He said, “That’s a Japanese thing.
They bow.”

And I was like,
“Miss, did you decorate the house?”

She looked at her husband,
he did like this:

“You may speak.”
And she spoke.

And I was like, “Now, that’s
pussy control for you, there.”

You know, because I’m used
to American women saying:

“You don’t own me.”

“Hey, baby, where you going?”

“Excuse me?”
“I said, where you going?”

“You don’t own me.”

“You my woman, ain’t you?”
“I don’t see no rings on these fingers.

“Are you gonna put a ring
on this finger?

“Well, I…”
“Then you don’t own me then, OK?

“I don’t give a fuck
who you are or what you have, OK?

“You got a whole lot of nerve,
come and ask me where I’m going.

“I don’t answer to my father,
I ain’t gonna answer to no man.

“Ain’t no man gonna tell me
where I can go.

“Who do you think you are?

“To come and ask me where
I’m going? Nobody owns me.

“I own myself.
I am my own person.”

And we hear all that shit,
then be, “OK.”

“Well, where you gonna be?”
“I’m gonna be where I’m at!

“You don’t own me!”
Well, you don’t.

You don’t own your woman.
“You gonna put a ring on my finger?”

That shuts you right up.
You say, “OK.”

I know you spend a lot of your money
on your woman.

And I know you go to the movies
and you go to get the ice cream

and the candy and the flowers
and the anklets and the bracelets

and help her get some clothes.

You spending all your money
on shit you ain’t never spent it on.

But you don’t own her.

Because theoretically,
that pussy’s on lease.

You’re leasing the pussy.
With an option to buy.

But be careful, because
you lose half on the trade-in.

You got to be careful.
You gotta have a J-O-B in the ‘ s.

You gotta have some money,
you can’t get no pussy.

Listen to the radio.
That’s what it’s about.

Listen to Madonna.
“I’m a material girl in a material world,

“you ain’t got no money,
you can’t have no pussy.”

There’s a song out now called

“Got to Have a J-O-B
If You Wanna Be With Me.”

And the lyrics go,
“Ain’t nothing going on but the rent.”

Like if you went up and said:

“Hey, baby, what’s going on?”
“The rent, motherfucker.”

“You have a job?” “Well, I…”
“Then get the fuck out my face.”

Got to have some money. It says,
“No romance without finance.”

And women love them songs.
They be going:

Got to have a J-O-B
If you wanna be with me

Janet Jackson got a hit record:

“What Have You Done
For Me Lately”.

That’s what they thinking.
“What have you done for me lately?”

The record start off like that.

“I know he used to do shit for you,
but what has he done for you lately?”

“Baby, I love you.”
“What have you done for me lately?”

“You the only thing on my mind.”
“What have you done for me lately?”

“We make good love.”
“What have you done for me lately?”

Got to have some money
to get some pussy in the ‘ s.

It’s fucked up, that’s why I say,
hey, I’m a target.

If I ever get married, I have to go off
to the woods of Africa

and find me some crazy,
naked, zebra bitch…

…that knows nothing about money.
She got to be butt naked on a zebra

with a big bone in her nose
and a big plate lip

and a big, fucked-up Afro!

Her Afro… Afro gotta…
Like, Angela Davis see it and go:

“Goddamn, that’s some
fucked-up shit.”

Afro gotta be fucked up

and one of them picks
with a fist in the back.

And she gotta be butt naked,
because if she got clothes,

she gonna have to put
something in the pockets.

She’s gotta be butt naked on
the zebra. And y’all think it’s a joke.

I’m gonna walk up and say,
“Hey, how you doing? My name’s…”

And she go:

I say, “Miss Murphy. Miss Murphy.”
And I’m gonna bring her home.

Y’all gonna go past a newsstand one
day and see me on the cover of JET

with some woman with a big bone
and a plate and a big, fucked-up Afro,

butt naked, and y’all gonna say,
“Eddie must be visiting Africa.”

Lt’ll say, “Murphy Marries Bush Bitch.”
I’m gonna be like:

What?

What?

Because I ain’t getting caught.

I refuse to get caught out there.
Fuck that.

And I’m gonna bring her home
and lock her up in the house.

You go off to Africa
and get you a bush woman,

you can’t let her mingle
with American women.

Because they’ll change her shit up.

American women stick together.
Last thing they wanna see

is you got some trained
bush bitch in your house.

They will catch her by herself
in the kitchen

and throw a monkey wrench
in your whole program.

They get her alone, they be like,
“I can’t stand the way you be

“doing everything he tell you to do.
You a human being.

“This house is too big for one person
to clean. Why don’t you leave?

“You always crying. Just leave him.
You know something?

“Do you know you could take half
his money? Did you know that?

“He didn’t tell you
you were entitled to half?

“He only told you half the story.

“You can take half the money,
the car, the house, the children.

“You can buy all the zebras
and bones you want.

“Go back home in style, girl.
And get your hair done right.

“Cut that Afro off, go back home
in style. Who the hell he think he is?

“Let me tell you about Eddie Murphy.

“That motherfucker ain’t nothing but…
Oh, hi, Eddie. How you doing?

“Oh, I didn’t know you was here.
You scared me.

“No, I can’t stay. I was just talking
to Uhmfufu about a couple of things.

“No, no, no, I got to go. I got to…
You two… Y’all two lovebirds talk.

“Eddie, talk to your…
Talk to Uhmfufu.

“Y’all got a lot to talk about. Go on,
Eddie. Please, talk to her. Uhmfufu…”

And leave me in the kitchen with
some bush bitch with an attitude.

“Eddie!

“Eddie!

“I want to talk to you!”

“What’s your problem, baby?”

“I don’t like the way
you treat me, Eddie.

“You treat me like animal.”

“You was butt naked
on a zebra last month.”

“I don’t care, Eddie.
I am American woman now.

“I want what’s coming to me.

“Eddie, what have you
done for me lately?”

“I want you to be happy.
Well, what you want?”

“Half!

“Give me half, Eddie.
Give me half, Mr. Fuck-you Man.

“Suck my dick, Eddie.

“You motherfucker.”

Then I’d be on the front page
of the African Enquirer like this:

So be careful.
Don’t get caught in a trap.

Any woman can get
any man she wants

if she puts her mind and pussy to it.
They can have you.

They have figured us out. We’re very
easy creatures to figure out.

And women know all they have
to do is cater to our egos enough

and they can have you. Guys,
how many times have you fucked

some ugly bitch that just kept hanging
around and you had to fuck her?

And then afterwards you be like this,
“I can’t believe I fucked this bitch.”

They just cater to your ego.

Sometimes you’ll see
a real ugly bitch

with a handsome dude.
You say, “How that happen?”

Dude’s going,
“Yeah, how that happen?”

Because she catered to his ego.
They can figure us out.

Guys, don’t get trapped.
We’ll call them “pussy traps”.

Let’s call them pussy traps.

It’s a trap.
They trap you with the pussy.

They catch you with the pussy, see.
And it’s a trap.

The most common trap
is to not give you any, though.

Don’t think, “Maybe you’re
gonna put a trap on.”

The most common is when you ain’t
getting any at all, that’s the trap.

When you meet a woman
and everything is perfect

and she won’t do anything,
it’s a trap.

Sometimes it backfires, because a lot
of women play these games with sex.

And ladies like sex just as much as we
do, guys, but they act like they don’t.

But they do.
There’s not a woman…

There’s not a woman in this room

that wouldn’t rather be somewhere
else with a nice stiff one in them.

Don’t you let them fool you.

They like it just as much as us.
See, ladies sitting there going:

“That’s true.

“He’s funny, but he’s not that funny.

“I’ll take a dick over a smile any day.
Yes, I will.”

They like it just as much as us,
but they play these games.

Know where it backfires
on you, ladies?

When you go meet a guy,
he wants you, you want him,

you like each other,
everything is perfect,

but you won’t do anything.
He say, “Let’s go.”

You say, “No, I’m not gonna do it.”
And after that,

he don’t like you no more.
But he still wants to fuck you.

So he waits.
He be like, “Okay, I’ll wait.

“Goodnight.”
And you wait.

You wait three months.

Then you finally get it
and she’s like this, “I’m yours.”

And you go, “Fuck you, bitch!”

“Fuck you and your pussy.
Get the fuck out of my face.”

Be careful. Don’t get trapped.

The most common trap
is to not give you any.

Let me hear the men clap
that are with women

that you’ve never slept with before.
Let me hear you clap, truthfully.

Look at the ladies going,
“Stop clapping.”

Shame on you. You should’ve
fucked them. Clap. Clap louder.

Shame on you.
Y’all should’ve fucked them.

These men like you
and you just won’t do it,

because you’re trying to trap…
Guys, don’t be hurt. She likes you.

This is what is going on inside
your house every night.

“Baby, come on, now, please.”
She go, “No, stop it. Stop it. Stop.”

“Baby, come on. Would you stop?”
“Oh, stop. Can we please stop?

“Are we gonna go too far?”

“I want it to go too far.
Come on now, baby.”

“We could… Stop.
I just don’t think the time is right.”

“Well, my dick don’t get
much harder than this.

“I been waiting three months.
What’s the problem?”

“I don’t wanna fuck.
I wanna make love.

“I’ve had too many relationships that
didn’t work out. You’re special to me.

“I know all the girls do everything
that you want.

“And I don’t wanna go through…
Why are you doing this…?”

And men see those tears
and we be, “OK.

“We don’t have to do nothing.”

Then you go out and your friends be,
“Yo, man, you fuck her yet?”

“No.”

“Why not?”
“She’s special.

“She said she don’t wanna fuck,
she wanna make love.”

Which is bullshit. I mean, fucking
and making love, let’s be real.

I mean, the physical act…
I like to fuck somebody I’m in love with.

But I ain’t making love to nobody.
I get into bed…

I get into bed…

I get into bed…

When you get into bed, would you
rather have somebody say:

“Oh, make love to me”

or grab the back of your head and say,
“Fuck the shit out of me.

“You motherfucker.

“Just fuck, mother…
Fuck me, goddamn it.”

You want somebody
in the bed with you:

“Oh, darling, I want to make
love to you.” That type of shit.

“You a motherfucker…”

I’m a realist. But they’ll tell you, “I don’t
wanna fuck, I wanna make love.”

And they make you wait. And you wait
and wait and wait and wait.

And you just keep on waiting, you just
wait and finally she gives you some.

And it’s the best
you ever had in your life.

You come harder
than you’ve ever came.

“This was it. This was the feeling I’ve
been searching for. I finally made love.”

You didn’t make love.
It just felt real good. You know why?

Because you waited
five months for it.

If you’re starving and somebody
throw you a cracker,

you gonna be like this:

“Goddamn, that’s the best cracker
I ever ate in my life!

“That ain’t no regular cracker, was it?
What was that, a Saltine?

“Goddamn, that was delicious.

“That wasn’t no Saltine. That was…
That was a Ritz. That wasn’t a Ritz?

“God, that was the best cracker
I ever ate in my life.

“Can I have another one, please?
Please, one more.”

Then you get married, because
you think you’ve found the bomb.

Have the same crackers
every day for a year.

And you roll over one day
and be like:

“Hey, I just got some
regular old crackers.”

Try to leave? Half!

So be careful. Marry someone
that’s not gonna fool around on you.

Which would be hard
to do in the ‘ s,

because everybody’s
fucking each other nowadays.

It’s like Fuckfest ‘ .

Everybody… Everybody is fucking
and it really… It’s getting bad.

Let me hear the women clap that
are loyal to their men, truthfully.

Let me hear you clap.

OK, now, let me hear… Let me hear
the women clap that have men

that are loyal to them, truthfully.

Yeah, I see. Y’all some disillusioned
ladies clapping right now.

Let me hear the men clap.

Let me hear the men clap
that are loyal to their women.

Stop. You lying motherfuckers, stop.

Stop, stop, stop. Kiss my ass.

Fuck, there ain’t no such thing as
a loyal man, you lying motherfuckers.

Stop it. Yeah, the only reason you’re
clapping is because your woman’s

sitting next to you right now
when I asked you.

When I asked the question,
she looked at you like this:

“You gonna put your hands together?

“You better stomp your feet and light
a match for this pussy, goddamn it.

“Stand up and clap.
Stand your ass up and clap.”

“She’s number one!”

Get the fuck out.
No such thing as a loyal man.

Ladies, do not be fooled. I know
some men have some strong raps

and they’ll have you believing it.
No loyal men.

All men fuck other women.

We are low by nature
and have to do it.

We are men.
All men do it.

We have to do it.
We are men. It is a man thing.

Men must find and conquer
as much pussy as they can get.

Do not think for two seconds that you
are the only one your man is fucking.

He is a man
and has to conquer women.

I see a lot of you good women
sitting out there going:

“Not my man.”
Yes, your man too.

Your man too.

If he’s not here with you tonight,
he fucking somebody.

Because he is a man.
It has nothing to do with you.

You can have the best pussy
in the world.

There can be a cape hanging
out your pussy with a big S on it.

Your man’s still gonna go fuck
somebody else, because he is a man.

It is a dick thing.
Do not try to understand it.

You have to have a dick
to understand this. We are men.

I know a lot of guys sitting out there
right now like this too:

“Yo, Ed, shut the fuck up, man!

“I ain’t spent all my money
for this, motherfucker!”

You gonna be driving home tonight
with your wife in the car like this:

“You don’t really be fooling around like
Eddie Murphy say you do, do you?”

“No, baby. That’s just jokes.

“That Ed sure is funny, ain’t he?

“Why don’t we change the subject.
Let’s talk about something different.

“I don’t wanna talk about this stuff.”
“I do wanna talk about this stuff.

“Why does he have to lie to me?
I think he was telling the truth.

“If you fooled around, I would be so
hurt and disgusted, I would wait

“until you went to sleep, I would come
inside the room and kill you.”

- Thanks, Eddie!
- We love you!

“Yeah, that Ed sure is funny.

“I ain’t got to worry.
As much as I love you,

“I wouldn’t fool around.
Let’s talk about the Richard Pryor.”

“I don’t wanna talk about
the Richard Pryor.

“I wanna talk about this,
because if you fooled around,

“I would be so hurt,
you know what I would do?”

“What would you do, baby,
take half?”

“No, I’d wait till you went to sleep

“and I’d come inside the room
and cut your dick off.”

“Don’t be talking about
cutting off my dick.”

“Well, you don’t be putting your dick
in nobody else, then.”

“Well, I don’t play that shit. You cut off
my dick, you better run, goddamn it.

“Stop making them dick threats.”

The woman’s favorite…
Y’all always make…

The woman’s favorite threat is,
“I’ll do something to your dick.”

“If a man do this, I kick him in his nuts.
A man put his hands…

“Don’t you put your hands on me,
I’m gonna kick you where it hurts.”

Dick threats. Y’all don’t realize
how sensitive nuts are, do you?

Men don’t like to hear a threat like that.
You hear somebody:

“I’ll kick you in the nuts.”
It make you wince, be like:

“Change the subject, please.”

You don’t have to kick
no nuts to hurt nobody.

You could just graze nuts.

And the man would be fucked up.

And that pain is worse, because
it don’t set in for, like, ten seconds.

You be wondering if it’s gonna hurt.

You say, “I wonder,
did that hit my nuts, just…?”

There’s no getting around it.
“I’ll kick you in your nuts.”

You don’t have to kick.
You could just graze it.

Y’all do that… You ever have
a woman play-fight with you?

Your man get serious
when they threaten your dick.

You be, “Hey, baby, come on.”
And she go:

You say, “Hey, hey, hey.

“I think playtime is over.

“Getting a little crazy.” That’s why men
don’t like to handle babies.

Them little babies with them
high-top white shoes on

with the real hard bottoms.
When they about years old,

you pick them up
and their leg muscles be strong

and they stomp you
in the nuts with both feet.

And both of y’all be dribbling.
You be like:

And their mother think
you talking baby talk.

“Oh, that’s so cute,
the way they talking.”

“Yeah, go to your mother, please.”
“What’s the matter, he stink?”

“No, I’m about to throw
this motherfucker someplace.

“Get a little older, I’m gonna kick
you in your nuts, see how you like it.”

“I kick him in his nuts.” Always talking
about kicking somebody in the nuts.

You know what, ladies?
I had a woman ask me the other day:

“You know why I say my thing?
I wanna know why all men fool around.

“Why, why, why? I do everything
my man wants me to do

“and he still fools around. Why?
I cook, I clean, I fuck.

“I come and go as he says.
Why, why, why?”

Then you call up your girlfriends
and go, “Why?”

She go, “I don’t know.
My man ain’t home.” “Why?”

Then you call up your mother
and say, “Mama, why?”

She go, “I don’t know, your father
ain’t home.” “Why? Why?”

I’ll tell you why all men fool around.

- Why?
- Hear the ladies go, “Why?”

Men fool around because of this.

Look at all the women in the audience
right now looking up here like this:

We fool around because
we figured women out.

We did.
See, a lot of you ladies going:

“What does he mean,
he figured us out?”

And dumb niggas going, “Yeah, what
does he mean, we figured them out?”

We figured you out in this sense,
and this is true.

Anybody’s ever done this
will agree with what I’m saying.

Any woman that’s ever had this done
to her will agree what I’m gonna say.

Those of you who’ve never
done this will go, “I disagree.”

But once you make
a woman come real hard,

once you make a woman say:

No matter how bad you fuck up,
no matter what you do wrong,

no matter what you say, no matter
what you do, as long as you say:

“I’m sorry,” she will listen to your story.
And that’s the truth.

That’s the God’s honest truth.
It is the truth. Stop it. It’s the truth.

It is the truth. And, ladies, as soon
as y’all make that noise,

your relationship will change
with your man. Because we know.

We wait on that noise.
We waiting on it.

Because we know we can act different
as soon as you go:

We know we can act the fool then.
Remember when your man

couldn’t make it, he would call?
No more of that shit. He heard you go:

Remember he wanted to spend all his
free time with you? No more of that.

You made that noise.
Your man can act crazy.

We know as soon as you go:

Our face is in the pillow like this,
“I got this motherfucker now, boy.”

Then you start talking to her:

“Whose pussy is this?
Whose pussy is this?”

“Oh, it’s your pussy!
It’s your pussy!”

And your relationship changes
from that moment.

The woman be sitting on the bed,
legs shaking:

“Oh, my God.
Oh, I can’t believe it.

“I never came like that before.
I can’t believe it.”

And their man get real cold,
saying shit like:

“Why don’t you shake your ass home.”

“What are you talking about?
Why are you treating me like this?

“We have a relationship.”

“You don’t own me.”

“What do you mean?
We have a relationship.

“I thought that we go together.”

“I don’t see no rings on your finger.”

“But I love you!”

“Well, what have you
done for me lately?”

And y’all put up with it.

Y’all start putting up
with all kinds of crazy shit.

I guess it’s hard to find
somebody that knows

how to do it to you right,
because when y’all find one,

y’all stick through that man
through all kinds of bullshit.

I know a man got busted coming
out of another woman’s house.

Show you how far a woman will stoop.

He got busted coming out
of another woman’s house.

His woman saw him come out,

knew that the woman lived there
and didn’t say shit.

Wait till they got home and said:

“What the hell was you doing
in that bitch’s house?”

You know what the man said?
“Wasn’t me.”

“I looked right in your face!”

“Wasn’t me.”

“Well, I’m supposed
to be a fool, right?”

“Hey.

“Wasn’t me.”

You know what the woman said?
“Maybe it wasn’t you.”

I got a friend got busted
in his house, in his bed,

where him and his wife sleep,
with another woman, fucking!

His wife walked inside the house,
opened up the bedroom door,

saw her man in her bed
with another woman, fucking.

She walks in:

The man jumped up,
saw his woman standing there.

She ran down the hallway. Chased his
woman down the hallway butt naked

with a rock-hard dick,
talking about, “I’m sorry.”

This sound like a tragedy, right?
No, it was like this:

“Baby, wait, wait.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

“Baby, look. Whoa, hold on.
Wait, we got to talk.

“Baby, I am sorry.”
“No, you’re not sorry.

“I can’t believe you did this.
You have no respect for me.

“Get the fuck…
Don’t you fucking touch me.”

“Wait, baby, I am sorry.
Wait a second.”

“No, if you’re sorry,
you wouldn’t have fucked her!”

And then you change
the shit around. Right, guys?

“OK, wait a minute!

“Wait one second, goddamn it!

“Yes, I fucked her, yes.

“Is that what you want me to say?
I fucked her? I fucked her.

“We fucked, all right?
You happy now? We fucked!

“Now, let’s talk about the word ‘fuck’
for a minute.

“Because that’s a very important
word here. Fuck, yes, we did.

“Fuck. I fucked her.

“I make love to you.

“And if you gonna let a fuck
come between our love,

“there’s something really wrong
happening here, baby.”

Bullshit.

That’s the only reason
why it works.

Now, guys, I see a lot of y’all
feeling real macho,

because you may have heard
your woman make that noise

and you think you are
in control of your shit.

But I told you a half-hour ago,
women are vindictive.

Don’t you think for two seconds that if
you keep breaking this woman’s heart,

your sweet, innocent, little,
sweet, loving, darling woman,

she eventually will go out
and fuck someone else.

Don’t think she won’t.
Don’t think she won’t.

Look, all the men’s faces,
they’re like this now:

And men don’t like to picture
their woman fucking nobody.

That’s taboo. Watch the guy’s faces.
Ladies, look at them.

Guys, picture your woman
fucking your best friend.

Look at them, they’re:

Hey, your woman is like this:

I gotta tell you, be careful.
And women ain’t like us.

It’s not their nature to fool around.

Like, we’ll go out
and sneak out to the hotel

and have to wash your dick
in the sink and all that shit.

Women gonna do it classy.
They don’t fuck around like us.

It’s like, “Hey, I don’t do this often,
I’m gonna do it right.”

Know when your woman’s
gonna fool around?

You keep messing her over,
eventually she says shit like this:

“You know, I think I’m gonna go to the
Bahamas by myself for the weekend.”

And you say,
“You want me to go with you?”

She goes, “No, just me
and my girlfriends are going.

“Just me and my friends.”

And we so stupid,

we start thinking about all the pussy
we can get while she gone.

“You gonna go by yourself?”
“Yes.”

“OK.”

And send your woman off
to the romantic Bahamas by herself?

By herself to the Bahamas?

She’s walking on the beach,
she laid out all day and got a tan,

your woman is fine
and got her body looking right,

she’s walking on the beach,
crying, in the Bahamas.

Lovers on the beach making love.

She’s all by herself, walking along,
feeling sad, thinking about you

and everybody’s real romantic.
The motion of the ocean

is shimmying off…
The moon is shimmying off the ocean.

Your woman’s standing,
looking at it and crying.

And all of a sudden,
a dude named Dexter walks up.

Dexter St. Jock.

He walk up swinging his dick.

Then he do that smooth
Bahamas shit on your woman.

“What a beautiful girl like you doing
by herself on the island of love?

“This is the island for lovers.

“You should be being held
right now, girl.

“What you crying about?”

“I’m having some problems
with my boyfriend,

“so I came down here
to think it over.”

“Tell me what hotel
your man’s staying.

“I tell him that you treat
a woman like you like a princess.

“If you were my woman,
I make love to you constantly.

“What hotel this man staying in?”

“Well, he’s back in New York.”

“Is that right?

“Well, listen, girl. Won’t you
come back around my place?

“We sit down and talk it over.”

“All we gonna do is talk?”

He take your woman to his house

and roll one of them
big-ass Bahama joints.

Shit this big and shit. Put some
of that Bob Marley music on.

And y’all know Bob
be preaching this shit:

Don’t let him fool you
Oh, no

Or even try to school you
Oh, yeah

Could this be love?
And be loved

Dick swinging.

Next thing you know,
Dexter is fucking your woman.

Well.

Send your woman home
floating on air.

Walk through the door like this:
I shot the sheriff

We so stupid, we think it
was the weather. We be going:

“Hey, baby, you need
to get away more often.”

And she be like this:

And never tell you.
It’s her little secret.

All women have
a skeleton in the closet.

All women have done
something that only them

and another person knows about.
All women have one skeleton.

Even the little, sweet, innocent ones
have something that only them

and another person knows about.
All women.

Don’t be… Look at the guys,
looking at their women again like this:

“You got skeletons in your closet?

“I thought I seen a bone in your shoe.
Whose skeleton was that?”

Don’t be fooled. They all have
a skeleton in their closet.

Some of them got cemeteries
in their closet and shit.

You open the door and ravens
and shit fly out of the closet.

So be careful. Be careful.

Get somebody you gonna be
with forever.

Find somebody perfect for you.

I’m not saying they’re perfect people.
I’m saying we ain’t perfect.

Find somebody just as fucked up
as you are and settle down.

That’s what you gotta do.

If I ever get married, I got to marry
somebody with personality.

For instance, I hate those quiet,
salad-eating bitches,

those real quiet ones, you know.

The kind of women, you take
them out to dinner, you say:

“Hey, what you wanna eat?”
They go, “I’ll just have a salad.”

And you hear their stomach going:

“I don’t know why my stomach
is making that noise.”

“Because you’re hungry, bitch.”

“Why don’t you have
something to eat?”

“No, no, no. I’m fine, I’m fine.
I’ll just have a salad.”

“What you want to drink?”
“Water.”

“What movie you wanna see
after you finish eating?”

“Whatever you wanna see
is OK with me.

“As long as it’s a PG.
I hate scary movies.”

“This is my friend Bob and Karen.”
“Hi.”

“What’s your problem?”
“I’m just a little shy.”

Get your shy ass away from me.

I hate those shy bitches.
They make me sick to my mother…

I hate shy…
You know, those shy women,

those are usually the ones that have
the most skeletons in their closet.

That’s why they shy now.

Because they been raising hell
all their life, now they shy.

Think about it.
All them shy women that you meet,

they never from the town
you meet them in.

They always from somewhere else.

Then they come to your town
and get shy.

Get the fuck out of here.

They afraid to talk,
because they think a bone

is gonna fly out their mouth
or some shit.

“Hi.

“So many skeletons.”

I hate shy women. I like extroverts,
I like women with a sense of humor.

I like funny girls, funny women.

But you gotta be good-looking too.

I don’t wanna fuck no funny, ugly bitch
and shit. I’d have me in the bed going:

“Hey, baby, can you tell me
some more jokes, please?”

Gotta be a good cook.

I didn’t realize my mother was
a good cook till after I moved out.

When you’re a child, if your mother
doesn’t take you to McDonald’s,

you don’t think she can cook.
I had one of those mothers,

no matter what you want,
she has the ingredients at home.

You say, “Ma, I wanna stop
and get some McDonald’s.”

And she go,
“I got hamburger meat at home.”

“But I want McDonald’s hamburger.”

“I’ll make you a hamburger
better than McDonald’s.”

“You cook better than McDonald’s?”

“That’s right.
You can help Mama make it.”

You say, “Shit, that’s better
than McDonald’s.”

Your mother say,
“OK, go get me the big frying pan.”

So you hand her the frying pan
and she say:

“I want you to go in the refrigerator
and get the meat

and while you in there, get me a green
pepper and a onion.” And you say:

“Ain’t no green peppers
at McDonald’s.”

“I’m not making McDonald’s,
I’m making Mama’s burger.

“I need a green pepper and an onion
and get me an egg out too.”

“What you need eggs for?

“I want hamburgers.

“You making Egg McMuffins.”

“I’m not making an Egg McMuffin.
I don’t know what no Egg McMuffin is.

Just get me the egg
and shut your mouth.”

She take the egg and
the green peppers

and chop the peppers up
in big chunks.

Don’t even dice it. Big chunks
of green peppers and onion

and mix the egg in and put
paprika and all this shit in it

and make a big meatball and put it
in the middle of this frying pan.

At McDonald’s, the meat is this thin.
Your mother’s shit is like this or fatter.

Green peppers hanging
out of it and shit.

And there’s a big split in the middle
and grease is popping out.

You’re looking at it while it’s popping.

You’re looking at the grease
in the pan and thinking:

“That don’t look like no McDonald’s.”

Then your mother say, “Go inside
the refrigerator and get me the bread

out of the bread box.” And you go
look in the bread box and you say:

“Ma, we don’t have
no hamburger buns.

“All we have is Wonder Bread.”

“That’s what I said. Get the bread
out of the bread box.”

“You gonna put it
on square Wonder Bread?”

“Bread is bread. Bring me
that bread before I slap you.

“Don’t tell me about Wonder Bread.

“As much as that bread costs,
don’t tell me about Wonder Bread.

“This is Wonder Bread.
A hamburger is a hamburger.”

And she’d make it and put it in
the middle of square Wonder Bread.

At McDonald’s, they use buns,
the meat covers the whole bread.

At your mother’s, the meat’s right
in the middle of the bread,

with grease running
through the middle,

making the bread stick
to the plate.

This big green pepper
is hanging out the top

of this big meatball on the bread.

And you try to put some ketchup on it
and it mixes with the grease,

turn the bread into pink dough.

Then you grab it
and get fingerprinted

and you got big, pink fingerprints
in the dough.

You stand there looking at it and you
try to make it look like McDonald’s,

so you rip the edges off around it,
make it round.

And you got green peppers and
grease running down your hand.

And your mother say,
“Now, go on outside and play.”

And the other kids got McDonald’s.

They outside going,
“We got McDonald’s hamburgers.

“McDonald’s. McDonald’s.

“I got McDonald’s.”

And you standing there
with this big “house burger”.

And kids are honest.

They say, “Where you get that
big, welfare, green-pepper burger?”

And you cry.

“My mother made it.”

And long slob…
When little kids cry,

some long slob come
out of their mouth

and it hangs this far to the ground.
And it won’t break.

And adults stand around going,
“That slob gonna break?”

And it won’t.
The wind can blow that slob:

You know where you see kids crying?
I do it all the time, I’m sadistic.

I like to go to supermarkets
and watch mothers lose it

and beat the shit out of their kids.

Party at the Loft!

I was at the Loft. You know why
I ain’t dancing at the Loft?

I had just got over some shit.
I go to parties…

I went to a white disco recently
and I watched the white people dance.

Y’all… Y’all can’t dance.

No, it’s not… I’m not being racist.
I mean, I mean…

It’s like saying black people
have thick lips.

That’s not racist.
It’s true. We have thick lips

and white people can’t dance.

And y’all be trying.
Y’all be really…

Do y’all listen to the words
or the beat?

Because y’all be… I really…
I tell you, every time you see a black…

When you go to a white club, you see
five or six brothers just standing.

You ask, “Why are those
niggers in here?”

They watching y’all dance.

“Look at these crazy motherfuckers.”

Y’all got one dance y’all can do.
Y’all can do this shit, like this:

But y’all don’t do no moves,
it’s just this:

Y’all do some shit like this,
you be fucked up. You’d be:

“Oh, shit…”

And white people, y’all step
on each other’s feet.

Brothers, we go to the disco,
get all fucked up,

you’re stepping and hitting and…

Brothers got some dance.
They be doing this with their heads.

Some shit like that.

If the white people do that,
they’ll kill each other. They be like:

“Sorry.”

“Let’s stick with this.”

I was in the club, man.
I stopped going…

I ain’t dancing at the Loft
because I had a fight recently

and I said I ain’t dancing.
I went to clubs…

People get drunk, go to clubs
and start fighting.

I had a fight with an Italian dude

right around the time
Rocky came out.

Italians… White people, period, y’all
go crazy after y’all see a Rocky movie

because y’all believe that shit.

Because the movies are
so emotional and so real,

you sit there and go like,
“Hey, this is real.”

And Stallone have y’all white
people pumped, especially Italians.

After Italians see Rocky, they come
out the movie theater, they be like…

Italians are funny people, because
they act like niggas. It’s funny.

They do. They hold
their dick more than us.

They be standing around,
“Get the fuck out of here.”

“It’s right here, all right?
What? Hey, fuck you, all right?”

Everything is a question too.
“Hey, what am I, an asshole?

“What am I, a fucking jerk?
Get the fuck out of here.

“It’s right here, all right?”

After they see Rocky, they come out
of the theater charged.

They be like,
“All right, Rock-O!

“All right, Sly!”

“All right, Rock-O! Rock-O!”

Go up to the people
standing on line and shit.

“Hey, paisan, you going in to see
Rocky right now?”

“Yeah.”
“It’s a great fucking movie.

“It’s great.

“You gonna like this.
When Sly comes out,

“he breaks this big
fucking nigger’s face.

“He busts it fucking wide open.

“Fucking melanzane laying
on the floor, fucked up.

“It’s fucking great. I fucking
love it, man. All right, Rock-O!

“At the end of this picture, now,
just between you and I,

“I don’t wanna ruin the surprise,
but Sly wins this one again.”

“You know what I like
about Stallone’s movies?

“The realism. Because that’s the way
you gotta treat those fucking moolies.

“They think they can fucking push you
around, ‘Oh, you big hotshot,’

“get the fuck out of here.

“Get the fuck out of my face
with that shit.

“That’s what I like about Sly.
He goes in

“and the moolies are beating him
and he don’t fucking go down,

“he comes in and he cracks
the fucking moolie’s hole like this.

“He falls on the ground. You know,
you can really fucking do that.

“You see that fucking big melanzane
standing over there?

“See that black guy over there
at the line getting candy?”

“Yeah.” “All right. Now,
he’s about ‘ “. I’m ‘ “.

“I ain’t no big guy, all right?

“But I’m Italian. Watch this.
You watch this, all right?

“Hey, excuse me, brother.

“Hey, let me have a box of Juji Fruits

“and let me have some Bon Bons.

“I think I’ll have some
Bon Bons there.

“And let me have some
Junior Mints.

“And give me another box
of Juji Fruits.

“And the nigger’s gonna pay for it.”

“Excuse me?”

“You heard what I said, moolie.
Pay for my fucking candy…

“…or I’ll kick your ass.”

“Oh, you just saw Rocky.

“Look, little Italian white man.

“I enjoy Sylvester Stallone’s
movies too.

“But I’m waiting to get some candy
and I’m gonna go see a movie.

“Why don’t you just go hop in your
IROC Z- and take your ass home.”

“I’ll kick your fucking ass.”

Then they hear that Rocky music.

Hour later:

“He’s not gonna make it.

“The big nigger named Abdullah’s
hand wrapped around his throat.

“And a box of Juji Fruits rammed
up his ass. He’s not gonna make it.

“He’s fucked up.”

That’s who I had a fight with.
An Italian.

Those are the worst white people to
fight, especially around Rocky time.

Because I was in a discotheque talking
to Deney Terrio from Dance Fever.

Don’t ask me why.

We were there kicking it
and this Italian dude

was there with his girlfriend
and she is looking at me or Deney.

Italians don’t play that shit.
You hear the shit they say

to their girlfriends? “What the fuck
you looking over there for?

“Don’t tell me you’re not looking.
I just saw you.

“You been looking over there
all fucking night.

“You look over there again
and I’m gonna pick up a glass

“and shove it in your fucking mouth.
Don’t look over there. No, you shut up.

“You’re making me look
like an asshole.

“Don’t you ever disrespect me.
Don’t you ever.

“Hey, shut up. Don’t you ever…
I’ll fucking kick your ass inside here.

“What are you looking at a fucking
dancer and a melanzane for?

“You know I’ll kick his moolie ass.”
He pushed me.

Black people from New York have
this trick we use on white people.

It works.
Even if you can’t fight,

you have to act like you can fight,

because that gets you out
of a lot of fights.

It works.
If you have some problem…

Walk up to a white dude and
step on his foot. And he says:

“Hey, you got a problem?” You go,
“Yeah, motherfucker, I got a problem!”

“I just lost my motherfucking job

“to a white man, look just like you!

“So I say I’m gonna step on some feet
till I feel I’ve redeemed myself.

“You got a problem?”

And white guys will go,
“Hey, I didn’t know about your job.”

They leave and brother
be standing there like this:

“That was close.

“I almost got fucked up.”

So I know you gotta act
like you can fight.

First, you make your voice
go up an octave

and act real confused.
And mumble:

“What the fuck this
motherfucker trying…?

“Yo, you don’t put your
motherfucking hand, no…

“Mind your motherfucking business.
I’ll bust your motherfucking ass.

“Don’t you never put your hands…
Shut the fuck up.

“What the fuck is wrong
with you, man?

“You know I’ll bust you…
Get the fuck off me.

“I’ll bust your motherfucking ass too.
Mind your motherfucking business.

“You want some, motherfucker?
You want some?

“Then make a move, then.
Make a move.

“Yeah, you better walk away, mother…
I’ll bust your pussy ass too.

“You never put your
motherfucking hands on me.

“What the fuck is your problem?
What’s your problem, huh?

“You got a problem?
Well, I’m gonna settle your problem.

“I’m gonna settle your problem,
motherfucker!”

And the dude did like this,
“Come on!”

I was stuck.

I was standing there like this now.

Dude said, “Come on,
that’s the way I like it.”

I didn’t know what to do, because
I could act like I could fight good.

I’m an actor, I ain’t no fighter.

You put me in a movie where
I’m the star, I’ll kick your ass.

This is real shit.
He’s going, “Come on.”

I was frozen, man.
I was standing there,

my ego jumped out
of my body and said,

“Punch him in the face, Ed.”

I said, “I ain’t punching nobody.”

My ego said,
“Well, give me your hand.”

Clocked that boy in his eye.

Boy fell on the deck holding his eye,

he was all fucked up.
I looked at my ego, I said:

“What the fuck you do that for?”

Ego said, “Because you’ve got
an image to uphold.

“You kicked the dude’s ass.
Relax.”

The dude was laying there,
holding his eye.

My ego said, “Now talk some shit
so people know not to mess with you.”

And I was like, “Yeah.

“I’m tired of people messing with me.”

“Now tell them if somebody else move,
you gonna kick their ass.”

“If somebody else move,

“I’m gonna kick their ass?”

“Do some rhyme with your name.
That always scares white people.”

“Because I’m Ed

“and if you mess with Ed,
you be dead.”

“That’s all right. Just worry about…
Shit, you doing fine.

“You just relax, don’t worry.
Just be cool.

“Ain’t nobody gonna move after
they seen you kick this dude’s ass.

“Just relax and cool out.”
I start cooling out. My ego said:

“Every now and then you
gotta whip somebody’s ass,

“let them know where you stand.”
I said, “Yeah, yeah, yeah!”

I ain’t see this dude’s brother
standing behind me.

And he has seen Rocky too.

And he swung around my back

and punched me in the mouth…

…real, real hard.

Because the punch said:

And my ego said, “What was that?!”

I said, “I don’t know.”
And my lip said, “Hey, fellas!”

So I’m standing there
with my lips hanging down,

looking like J.J. From
Good Times and shit.

And I ain’t know what to do,
so I scream for security.

I said, “Security!”

And that’s when one of my boys
jumped over the table

like Linc Hayes from
the Mod Squad

and grabbed that boy
and started going:

Boy hit the deck. My boy jumps up
and starts fucking this boy up

and his brother woke up, jump on top
of my boy and started kicking his ass.

Then somebody says,
“Fight in the back!”

And all the people,
the bouncers, came

and saw two niggers
fighting two white guys.

They jump on the niggers.
“You niggers have to learn

“to stop fucking up our club.
Didn’t we let you in here, nigger?

“We saw you laughing while
we were dancing. We saw you.”

Then all the brothers saw white
guys beating up two black guys,

“Hey, you can’t beat up the brothers.”
They jump in the fight.

Then it looked like white guys
fighting black guys,

it was a big race war and suntan lotion
and Jheri-curl juices shooting all over.

And at the end of the fight,
everybody sued me.

Everybody claimed
I whipped their ass.

I’m ‘ “. I weigh pounds.
I can’t whip a disco’s ass by myself.

Even people that didn’t fight sued me.

People that watched the fight
was in court.

“No, I didn’t actually fight,
but I was there watching.

“And it was a discotheque
and a strobe light fell off the ceiling,

“creating a weird effect
with the mirror

“and I saw this
and my eyes were sprained,

“the eyes, and I need million
for my sprained eyes.”

Brothers sued me. Yo, man,
the brothers came out and sued.

I was like, “Ain’t no brothers
gonna sue me.” Brothers sued Ed.

The brothers went to get paid.
I was, “Brothers don’t sue brothers.”

They was like, “Fuck that.
I’m getting paid, motherfucker.”

Brothers went to court,
got educated on the judge.

All of a sudden they was like,
“State your case.”

“Yes, Your Honor, on the evening
in question, per se, Your Honor.

“Yo, check it out, Your Honor.
I was inside the disco.

“Cooling, right?
I went in with my girlie, right?

“My girl start illing,
‘Oh, there go Eddie Murphy.’

“Start acting all tipsy and shit.
I say, ‘Where? ‘ She say, ‘Over there.’

“I say,
‘Fuck that big-nose motherfucker.

‘I make my money just like him.’
Right, Your Honor?

“I don’t give a fuck.
I ain’t getting on nobody.

“So, Your Honor, check it out, right?
What happened then, right?

“I say, ‘Yo, what you want, me go over,
get the motherfucker autograph? ‘

“I got the autograph for my girlie.

“I walked over and said,
‘Yo, Ed, sign this autograph.’

“Then Ed say, ‘I ain’t signing
a motherfucking thing.

‘Fuck you and your ugly bitch.’
I say, ‘Yo, Ed.

‘I’ll bust your ass
for saying shit like that.’

“He say, ‘Motherfucker, I… ‘
And he ran over to my woman

“and slap her in the face,
Your Honor.

“Then he slap me and
my man in the face.

“All three of us, like
the Three Stooges, Your Honor.

“Twelve million.

“Twelve!” I was disgusted.

“Yeah, Your Honor.
Give us half his shit.”

I was mad. I called my mother up.
You know how you do.

When you get depressed,
you call your mother.

You get your ass whipped,
first you call home.

I call my mother’s house.
Because you wanna hear:

“It’s gonna be all right, baby.
It’s gonna be fine.

“You just come on home. Stop crying.
I’ll cook you something to eat.

“I’ll cook you one of them
big old hamburgers

“I used to make before.
You just come on home.”

And you want that burger
when you get older.

I called my mother’s house,
it was a Friday night,

the phone rang for a half-hour.

Which meant my pops was home, and
on the weekends, my pops gets drunk.

I was praying he wouldn’t
answer the phone,

because I’m bleeding,
my lips are swollen,

people walking by going,
“Jimmie Walker.”

I’m going, “No, I’m Ed.
I just had a fight.”

So I’m praying my father
wouldn’t answer the phone.

And I picture this is going on,
my pops is home like this, drunk:

“This is my house!

“It’s my house
and I don’t give a fuck!

“You know something?
Hey, I’m drunk, Lil.

“Lil? I’m drunk.
And you know something?

“It’s beautiful.

“It’s beautiful, Lil. In my heart
and my soul, I’m drunk.

“You know something, fuck it.

“Because if I wanna drink
something in my house, fine.

“You don’t like it,
get the fuck out of my house.

“I pay the bills for this motherfucker.
I wanna drink something, I drink.

“Hey, Lil, you gonna
answer this telephone?

“Do you hear the phone ringing?

“Lil!

“That’s the phone, motherfucker.
That’s not me.

“No, I’m not answering shit.

“I pay the bills.
I’m gonna answer the phone too?

“Who am I, Alexander Graham Bell
up in this motherfucker?

“You better answer this telephone.

“Lil, answer the phone.
Goddamn it, look…

“Shit, I’m watching the fights, Lil.

“Are you…?
You’re not gonna answer it?

“OK. Fine.
Don’t touch the phone no more, Lil.

“Since you can’t get up off your ass
and answer the phone,

“you can’t touch the phone.
Bye-bye, phone, for Lillian.

“No more phone for you.
Your phone privileges are cut off.

“I’m gonna write that down
and put it on the fridge.

“That’s the new rules in the house.

“I’m gonna take the old rules off
and put new rules up.

“You gonna listen to me
when I tell you to do something.

“We gonna put new rules up.
We gonna put rules up. Rules up.

“Rules. Rules.

“One, ‘Lillian cannot use the phone.’

“Two, ‘Lillian cannot… ‘

“Since you’re such a smart
motherfucker,

“you can’t go outside anymore either.

“Cannot go outside ever again.

“Now, put the rules up, Lillian.

“You abide by my rules
and my regulations, goddamn it.

“And the rules say
‘No phone and no outside.’

“And I don’t give a fuck if the
motherfucking house is burning down.

“If I come home and a fireman
putting the house out, I say:

‘How you find out the house
was burning? ‘

‘We got a call from your wife,’
I kick your motherfucking ass.

“You’re in this house to stay!
You’ll burn up in this motherfucker.

“No, Lillian, where you going? Didn’t
I just say you couldn’t go no place?

“How the hell you gonna
go somewhere…?

“You’re not going to Shirley’s house
to play Pokeno. Fuck Pokeno.

“Take your coat off. No, you can’t
go no place because I said so.

“The rules say ‘no outside.’ I know you
wanna leave, that’s why you can’t go.

“You better call and tell her
you’re not coming.

“You can’t use my phone.

“I don’t know.
You better lift up the window

“and scream your
motherfucking head off.

“But you’re not… I don’t give…

“You’re not going no place.
You’re not going no place.

“Because I know you wanna leave.
That’s why. I know you wanna leave.

“I know you wanna leave.”

I got one of those fathers
who gets drunk and sings

old Motown songs to you
in his argument,

fucks up the lyrics
and thinks he’s saying it right.

“I know you wanna leave me

“But I refuse to let you go, Lillian”

Then he fuck up,
think he’s saying it right.

“If I have to beg and plead
Do the symphony

“I don’t mind because it means
That much to me

“You’re not going no place.

“You be right here in this
motherfucker, Lil.

“Watching the ships roll in

“Then you watch them
Roll away again

“Lillian

“Because I put the rules up.
Like Diana Ross say,

“It’s my house
I live here

“And she sing in Spanish too, Lillian:
En my casa, I… Yo vivo aqui

“This is my house!
I don’t give a fuck!

“Do you hear this phone? I’m gonna
answer, because I know it’s Shirley.

“And you not supposed to let
a phone ring for a half-hour.

“You let it ring two or three times
and hang it up.

“That’s a lonely bitch at the end
of that line. I’m gonna tell her.

“Hello? Shirley? Bitch, if you ever
let my phone ring like this again…

“Shir…? What’s wrong…?
Hey, what’s wrong with you?

“What you crying about?
Eddie, what’s…?

“Eddie, what’s wrong with you?

“What? You had a fight?!
Lillian, get my pistol.

“Who you have a fight with?

“What? A disco? With Deney Terrio?

“Fuck you doing with Deney Terrio?

“And Jimmie Walker?
And your lips? And you shot…

“What? Lillian, Eddie had a fight
in a disco with Deney Terrio

“and shot Jimmie Walker.

“He shot him in the lips, Lil.

“Eddie, why’d you shoot
Jimmie Walker in his lips?

“I like Good Times.

“Oh, you took a shot in your lips?

“And you look like Jimmie Walker?
Oh, that’d do it.

“Who punched you in the lips?
Italian? For what?

“What you mean ‘nothing’? Nobody get
punched for nothing. What’d you do?

“Don’t tell me ‘nothing’.
You had to do something.

“What did you do?
No, don’t tell me ‘nothing’.

“Nobody gets punched for nothing.
What…? Eddie…

“No, don’t say ‘nothing’. Eddie.
Nothing from nothing leaves nothing

“Had to do something

“Motherfucker punched you
In the mouth

“Now, what did you do?
What?

“Eddie. No… Eddie, then it’s something
that you did a long time ago.

“Didn’t I always tell you,
you reap what you sow? Yes.

“What goes around comes around,
Eddie.

“Yes, that’s why that man punch you
in your mouth tonight,

“for something you did
a long time ago.

“Yes, Eddie.
Well, you give what you get.

“You get what you give.
That’s why that man…

“Eddie. What do you mean,
you don’t remember what you did?

“He probably punched you
for something you did

“when you was living here.

“I didn’t catch everything that you did.
I worked all day, you played all day.

“Eddie, who broke that lamp in ?

“It was you! Yes, it was. That’s why
that man kick your ass tonight.

“I’d appreciate if you go up and tell him
that your father says ‘Thank you.’

“Save me a trip to California.
Because you never respect me.

“You never listen to what
I tell you to do.

“I put rules on the refrigerator
and you never obey my rules.

“Me and your mother want respect.

“You, Charlie and Vernon could not
respect me and your mother.

“All we wanted was some respect.
All we asked for was a little respect.

“How come you can’t respect me?
How come?

“I’m a man. I want respect.
I want respect, Eddie.

“What we want
Baby, you got it

“What we need
I know you got it

“Because all I’m asking

“Is for a little respect, motherfucker

“When you come on home, baby
Hold on a minute.

“The kiss is sweeter than honey

“R-E-S-Z-C-P
Find out what you mean to me

“R-E-C-C-T-T-P

“Motherfucker,
you know how to spell it!

“Respect. You never had no
respect for me, Eddie.

“That’s why the man kick your ass.
And when I was a child,

“I respect my parents.
And we didn’t have shit. Okay?

“I had shit, Eddie. Me and my brothers
and sisters didn’t have shit.

“I had brothers and sisters, Eddie.
My father made cents a week.

“He worked at the Coleco toy factory,
Eddie, and made cents a week.

“That’s not a lot of money
when you have children.

“We didn’t have all the fancy things
like you, Charlie and Vernon.

“We didn’t have fancy luxuries
like food.

“What the fuck you gonna eat
on cents a week?

“We had to eat whatever my father
brought home from work.

“We ate the toys, Eddie.

“We ate the toys
and we never complained,

“because my mother
could cook her ass off.

“My mother get some hot sauce
and some salt and pepper,

“make a Tonka truck
taste so delicious.

“The wheels will melt
in your mouth, Eddie.

“And you appreciate it.
You never complained.

“It was all for one and one for all.
We stuck together.

“I only hurt my brothers
and sisters once.

“I came home from school
and my mother had made

“a birthday feast for my father.

“She had cooked and slaved
over the stove all day

“and made enough food
for people to feast on

“for my father for his birthday
and I sat down and ate it all by myself.

“I ate it all, Eddie, by myself.
And my father came inside the kitchen,

“put his little birthday hat on
and he looked at all the children.

“He had a tear in his eye
and he said,

‘Which one of you kids sat down

‘and ate a whole fucking game
of Monopoly by yourself? ‘

“And I ate it all, Eddie!

“Boardwalk, Park Place,
Illinois Avenue,

“the shoe, the boat,
the hat, the cannon,

“Connecticut Avenue,
Luxury Tax,

“Eddie, I even ate those cheap
purple motherfuckers after ‘Go’…

“…that nobody buys.
I ate them.

“I ate Baltic and Ralph Avenue.
Yes, I did.

“I did, and I sat down and ate
my father’s birthday cake too.

“No, we couldn’t afford a cake.

“It was two Etch-A-Sketches
on top of each other.

“Two Etch… Etch-A-Sketch cake.
That’s right.

“We couldn’t afford no icing,

“so my mother would write ‘Happy
Birthday Pop’ on the Etch-A-Sketch.

“Know how you made a wish?
You shook it till the words disappeared,

“then you ate the Etch-A-Sketch.

“And that was your birthday cake.
And we never complained.

“We were happy to get that.
All for one and one for all.

“We would get dressed to go to school.
Let me tell you about our clothes.

“We had to wear whatever my father
brought home from work, Eddie.

“We wore the toys!

“Each day my mother would wake up
and open Twister games, Eddie.

“She would roll the Twister mats
on the floor.

“Me and my brothers and sisters

“would wrap the Twister mats
around our body like a suit.

“Then we get a Hot Wheels racetrack
and put that around our waist as a belt.

“And if there was no Hot Wheels,
we used Johnny Lightning.

“And if there was no Johnny Lightning,
we ripped up a Hula Hoop

“and put that around our waist.
But we went to school, goddamn it.

“Other children would make fun of us
because we got on Twister suits.

“And it’s no fun to get your ass
kicked in a Twister mat.

“Right foot, blue. Left hand, red, Eddie.
It was a goddamn game to these kids.

“I’m standing on the corner,

“a motherfucker is spinning the
spinner and kicking my ass, Eddie.

“Then I gotta go to school and watch
the other children eat real food.

“I gotta watch them eat peanut butter
and jelly, bologna and Swiss,

“ham and cheese. I got a goddamn
Silly Putty sandwich.

“Then, for dessert, they’re gonna
pull out a Hostess cupcake

“and I gotta eat a goddamn Slinky?

“A Slinky spring?! And, Eddie,
I ate so many Slinkys,

“every time I hear the motherfucking
Slinky song,

“it make me sick to my stomach.

“They walk downstairs
Alone and in pairs

“And make a clinkety sound

“A thing, a thing, a marvelous thing
Everyone knows it’s Slinky

“A Slinky, a Slinky
A wonderful, wonderful toy

“A Slinky, a Slinky
They’re fun for a girl and a boy”

Bye-bye, I gotta go.
Thank you.

Ladies and gentlemen !

Eddie Murphy!

Thank you. Thank you so much.
Two times, far two times.

Before I even get started how about
a big round of applause for the Bus Boys.

There’s some rules, I got some rules when I show
down and I do my standup, I got rules and shit.

Faggots aren’t allowed to look
at my ass while I’m on stage !

That’s why I keep moving while I’m up here.

You don’t know where the faggot section is,
you gotta keep movin’.

So if they do see it, quick, you switch,
they don’t get no long stares at your shit…

…so that their imagination is flowing about my…

I know when you’re looking,
‘cos my ass starts to get hot.

I’m afraid of gay people. Petrified.
I have nightmares about gay people.

I have this nightmare that I go to Hollywood
and find out that Mr. T is a faggot.

Really, and he’d be walking up to people going:
“Hey, boy ! Hey, boy !”

“You look mighty cute in them jeans !”

“Now come on over here,
and fuck me up the ass !”

“I’m gonna bend over now !”

“Hey, boy, slow down ! You’re gonna miss
the round, and come too fast !”

“You make me get get mad I clench up
my buttcheeks and rip your dick of !”

You know who would be a funny faggot?
Ralph Kramden and Ed Norton!

Ralph Kramden leaning out the window and:
“Norton! Come on down, I wanna show you somethin’!”

“Ralphie-boy, whaddaya say there pal of mine ?”

“You know Norton, I’ve been watching you.

And I know you’ve been watching me.
You watch me! I know!”

“So, Ralph, what are you gettin’ at?”

“Norton, my friend!
How would you like to fuck me up the ass?”

“I know you wanna fuck me, Norton!”

“And you know that I know that you know
that I know that you wanna fuck me!”

“Now I’m gonna bend over,
and when I do, start fuckin’!”

“Here I go !”

“Way to go there, Ralphie-boy!”

I kid the homosexuals a lot,
‘cos they’re homosexuals.

I fuck with everybody. I don’t give a fuck if they’re…
Just like I’m… I don’t mean anything by it.

You can hang out with a gay person.

Them guys don’t feel, you know, alienated,
like, gay people, ‘cos they’re gay.

You can play tennis with a gay person.
Really !

Just after the game you say:
“I’m gonna get a beer, what’s you gonna do ?”

“I think I’m gonna suck some guy’s dick.”
“Well, I’ll see you later!”

“You go suck that dick, I’m gonna have the beer.”

Ladies are hip to it too.
Ladies be hanging out with gay people.

Ladies say:
“Gay men are the best friends I have !”

“‘cos they don’t want anything from you, you
don’t want anything from them, you just hang out,

you can be with them and get fun and just talk to
them and all that bullshit, maybe hanging out with them.

You know what’s really scary about it?
That new AIDS shit.

AIDS is scary ‘cos it kills motherfuckers, AIDS!

That ain’t like the good ol’ days
when venereal disease was simple.

In the good old days, you got gonorhea,
you dick hurt, go get a shot, cleared right up.

Then they came out with herpes,
you keep that shit forever like luggage.

And now they got AIDS,
that just kills motherfuckers.

I say what’s next, I guess you just
put your dick in it and explodes !

And the girl would be on the bed:
“Maybe I should see a doctor about it…”

Kills people ! It petrifies me ‘cos
girls be hanging out with them.

One night they could be in the club having
fun with their gayfriend, give them a little kiss.

And go home with AIDS on their lips !

And then when her husband, like five years later.

“AIDS?! But I’m not homosexual!”

“Sure you’re not homosexual…”

All the diseases scare me ‘cos I’m like these…
these are fuck years for me, like I’m…

I’m in my sexual prime, this, I fuck now !

These are the years to fuck !
This is when you do your best fucking.

And you just start to learn your body
and getting it on your shoulders on to fuck…

Like year olds, let me hear you
all in the audience !

See y’all don’t know how to fuck yet, see.

You get . You start movin’ all this shit.

Makin’ faces, ever made them fuck faces
its a cool motherfucking thing.

You don’t do that when you’re . There’s just
expression ‘cos you be surprised you fuckin’.

Plus you don’t have
no dick control when you’re !

Ever been sitting around when you was young man,
just sitting in class, your dick gets hard for nothing ?

You be just sitting there and your
dick’s here: “What’s going on out there?”

That’s when the teacher say: “Mr Murphy,
would you come over by the board?”

“No, that’s allright.
I’ll take the zero.”

Really, no dick control at all.

It’s even hard to find the pussy when you’re .

Ever had that guys? You’d be
searching for the pussy down there.

And your dick be sliding down and shit,
and the girl be going: “That’s not it…”

“Is there any problem ?”
“No, ain’t no problem, baby.”

“You got a shoe horn or some shit like that?”

And this is the business to be in if you want some pussy.
That’s why I got in show bussiness, for pussy.

I figured, if Jimmy Walker can fuck,
I’m fucking everybody.

And it’s like that too.

When you do TV-shows, women would be
throwing pussy at me on the street like frisbee.

“Ed !”
“Thank you ! Appreciate that !”

Too much pussy, pussy would be
falling outta my pocket.

Walking out the street, you say:
“Oh, watch your step, that’s mine.”

Being a comic though ain’t like being no singer.
The singers get all the pussy.

Like the Bus Boys: they fuck everybody.
Bus Boys will fuck anything that moves.

Come to my house the fish stop swimming.
They don’t play.

Singers gets pussy. ‘cos you don’t have to,

even you don’t have to look good,
you can sing and get pussy.

Just be interesting. ‘cos this Sex Symbol
is getting pussy and is ugly motherfucker.

‘cos all you have to do is sing, its somethin bout singing,
that is the business, you sing, women go crazy.

Cos, Mick Jagger is an ugly motherfucker !

With big ass lips !

Mick Jagger’s lips are so big black people be going:
“You got some big ass lips !”

“These are big motherfucking lips !”

But he’s singing !
If you sing you’ll get over.

Luther Vandross is a big
Kentucky Fried Chicken eating motherfucker.

But he put that shit up like….
And women go:

Sing ! ‘cos all you got to do is sing.

Michael Jackson, who can sing,
and is a good looking guy.

But ain’t the most masculine fellow
in the world.

That’s Michael’s hook, his sensivity !

That’s when women be sayin:
“Michael’s just so sensitive…”

And they eat that shit up. Mike knows.

He be using women. I’ve seen Mike walk up to a
girl and they’d be in the audience and say:

“Is it allright if I come down there to sing to you…”

And women go: “Whaaaaa !”

Then, if you don’t scream, Michael
gets really sensitive and cries on your ass.

Ever hear that record “She’s out of my life” ?

“Tito, give me some tissues.”

“Jermaine, stop teasing.”

You just sing ! I like dudes with masculine voices,
you know, like Teddy Pendergrass.

Teddy just comes out, takes the lyrics and:

And scare the bitches that are liking him.

That motherfucker’s crazy,
throw your panties on the stage.

That’s whats happening. I like Elvis Presley !

Really I give credit where credit is due. When
Elvis was young, he was a bad motherfucker.

He was vicious. Sing his ass off. He sang so
good, they let him do movies, he couldn’t act.

They said:
“Fuck it ! Let him sing all his dialogues !”

“Elvis, we got to win this race!”
“We got to win this race….”

“Elvis, want some lemonade?”
“Lemonade, that cool, refreshing drink….”

Let him sing ’till he was older too,
Elvis was years old.

He would come out, his stomach was all fat and shit
…and his butt be sticking out and shit…

looking like he had to shit, out
walking on the stage like this…

“Excuse me.”

Sing ! That’s the key to it.
You don’t even have to be able to talk.

Just sing and get famous.
James Brown’s been singing for years.

I don’t know what the fuck
James is talkin’ about !

I don’t understand shit James says !

I met him once at Saturday Night Live, walked up to him
and said “James, I luv your stuff”.

And whatever James is saying
is some really heavy shit to James.

‘cos at the end of every sentence
he ended up with:

He meant that shit that he just said !

And you getting mad you start putting the needle
back “What the fuck did I just miss?”

That’s a James Brown lyric.
He wrote that shit !

He’s writing a song and:
“I need a word in here: Heaay !”

“That’s good !”

Band be going:
“What the fuck is James talking about?”

I don’t know but we’re getting paid,
keep singing.

And people take singers. There’s something about
singers that people just love and shit.

‘Cos I… I did Stevie Wonder on a show once.

And black people lost their motherfucking minds !

I have brothers rawling up on me going:

“Hey ! You the motherfucker that’d
been doing Stevie Wonder?”

“That shit ain’t funny, motherfucker !”

“Don’t you never let me see you do
that shit again ! I’ll fuck you up !”

“Stevie Wonder is a musical genius !”

That’s terrible ! That’s terrible, man !
Your mother brought you up wrong.

I got mad, I was hanging out with Stevie
two months ago, I said:

“Look, Steve, I get months flack over this impression.”

“I don’t like doin’, I ain’t doing this shit no more.”
Stevie says: “Well I feel that…”

“Shut the fuck up !”

‘Cos you gotta cut Steve off quick,
‘cos if he starts rolling he talks your ears off.

You ever seen Steve win a Grammy and come up
to give one of those long ass acceptance speeches ?

“And the winner is Stevie Wonder !”

‘…God’s chosen and…”
“Just take the motherfuckin award and get the fuck out !”

‘cos if you don’t say that the credits will be rolling
and Stevie going: “And I’d like to thank…”

I’ve been in the car and said:
“Just shut the fuck up, Steve!”

I’m telling you, genius and all that shit,
but you’re my boy, man, we hang and,

I mean, like, it’s nice and shit but
I don’t appreciate all the flack.

And personally, the piano and the singing,
I told you how I feel about singing…

“…I ain’t impressed.”

“You wanna impress me?
Take the wheel for a little while, motherfucker !”

“I heard that shit, man !”
“That shit wasn’t funny !”

Then I suppose in your little sketch
Stevie crashed in a tree, right?

“Ha-ha, very funny, motherfucker !”

“Your mother got a wooden leg
with a kick stand, motherfucker !”

“Your mother got a mouth in the back
of her neck and the bitch chews like this !”

“Motherfucker Stevie Wonder jokes and shit !”

It’s hot as fuck in here !

“Take it off !”

No, I can’t take it off. Maybe ladies would run up
the place holding their pussies going: “Aaaah !”

What’s going on over there ?
Ladies run down the street and… can’t do that.

Do we have the icecream man around here ?

Remember when the icecream man
used to come to town when you was little ?

And no matter what you was doing
you would stop and lose your fucking mind !

There’s something about the icecream
truck that makes kids lose it.

And they can hear that shit from ten blocks away.
They don’t hear their mothers calling

but they hear that motherfucking icecream truck.

And no matter what was was going on, the iceman
came, it stopped. You be gettin’ some marbles and shit:

“Icecream ! Icecream ! The icecream man is coming !
The icecream man is coming !”

“Mom ! Mom !”
“Throw down some money !”

“The icecream man is coming !”

Then your mother come to the window
and be throwing change and say:

and bring back my change.

Catch all that shit and run down the street, top speed.

Chasing icecream truck and:
“Icecream !”

Icecream man always drove extra blocks away.
And I know he’s seen us and shit,

but I think he just be in the car with his friends and say:
“Watch me how fast I make these motherfuckers run”

You’d be behind him doing and
going: “Icecream !”

“Thank you, icecream man ! Thank you !”

I’d get my icecream and I didn’t eat it
just sing for a little while.

You know how kids are.

“I have some icecream, I have some icecream,
and I’m gonna eat it all, I’m gonna eat it all…”

The icecream be running down your arm and shit

“You don’t have no icecream!
You didn’t get none ! You didn’t get none !

“‘cos you are under wellfare, you can’t afford it.”

Other kids would join in: “You can’t afford it,
and his father is an alcoholic !”

“You dropped your icecream,
you dropped your icecream…”

Eat it. I could drop my icecream in a pile
of shit and eat it. I would be like “It’s just sprinkles”

Unless your mother catch you doin’
that nasty shit, though.

My mother caught me doing that,
she made me put it down in sentence:

And you dropped that shit, quick.

Anybody got them mothers
that would hit you with a shoe ?

I had a mother, that was so ashoed
she would do at the drop of a dime.

And fuck you up, wherever she was aiming.

And bad with the shoe, carry that shit like a gun,
my mother was like Clint Eastwood with the shoe.

And you fucked up, my mom
was walking the room just like:

“Why did you eat your icecream off the floor ?”
“I didn’t, I just…”

Bad ! Accurate !

You’d be in a supermarket and shit and be grabbing
cereals off the counter going: “Mom, can we get this ?”

” I guess not !”

And could be doing three different things, be on
the phone with my grandmother, be cooking with this

hand have the phone like this and be sayin’
“Yeah, mama, hold on a second.”

Fuck you up and God forbid, my mother be
dressed up and had them high heels on.

Them pumps, ‘cos then she gets
boomerang action going on your ass !

And fuck you up in your room, you won’t
even know what the fuck happened.

They can hear you when you’re getting
ready to walk out the door.

And hear you on the bunk beds fucking around.
They got that mother hearing.

“Wait a minute, baby.”

“Let’s go.”

She was the one who did all the
disciplining around the house and shit.

Very, very strict house I came from.

And I remember when I first went to my first
contact with a white family, it freaked me out.

And I was there, I found some white kids
can curse around the house ! That fucked me up !

Coz I couldn’t even say “dagg” around my house,
my momma said “sounds too much like damn.”

I got in trouble for saying shit the wrong way.

I was in the house with Tom Kildez.

His mother said “Tom you’re a little late. He said
“Come on mom I’m moving as fast as I can shit.”

And I was standing like this:

And if I tried to pull some shit like that
in my house? “Ed, you’re a little late !”

“Oh, come on, pop, shit, what is this!
Come on, damn !” My pop just go:

“That motherfucker’s crazy !”

Remember in the old days
when you could beat up a woman ?

Remember that shit back in the ’s, the guys just
smacked their wives in the movies… And they just go:

You can’t do shit like that no more. Women be
takin’ aerobics, and they’ll fuck you up now !

It’s scary too, man ! Especially a black woman.
You hit a black woman she lose her mind !

Seriously. They go crazy, you can have a
really timid sister for a girl, and smack it be like:

“I’m gonna kill you, motherfucker ! You don’t hit
me like that ! You don’t hit me shit !

“You don’t put your hands on my face !

“Baby, please, stop ! Baby, please… stop !
Baby, hold on, stop, please !”

“Calm down, baby, calm down !”
“You don’t hit me, motherfucker !”

“So get the fuck out!”

Throw you out your own house, you
be so scared you get the fuck out too.

That’s some shit. You know you’re scared when a woman
says get the fuck out your own house and you leave.

I had a girlfriend once,
I smacked her and got all cool and shit.

And then she got cool
and scared me more and I just left.

“I didn’t want to do that shit, baby !
But you brought that shit on yourself”

“Dont make me have to do it again.”

She said: “No, no I did bring it on myself.”

“Why don’t you just go to sleep !”

Got the fuck out. People are changing.

Men are changing too, this shit the guys do now
you couldn’t do what they did years ago.

In the old days, you had an argument with your
girl in the car, she say: “Let me out of here !”

Men would say:
“No, no, we can’t have any of that.”

And nowadays a woman say that shit,
dude: “Get the fuck out !”

Somebody broke wind in here !

I’ve been trying like not say nothing
but someone farted in this motherfucker.

That’s some long-distance fart too, boy.

I know you get down with your friends have a good time.

Especially fellas..ya know they play that game,
they play the fart game you know.

You know you fart around your fellas and its funny.

Dudes be doing that they be gettin in elevators
farting and laughing and shit.

It’s nasty ! You play the fart game. I think deep
down inside people wanna smell other people’s farts.

‘Cos you smell them.
And people always tell you they farted.

They say: “I farted.” You don’t leave,
you pause a second. “Yeah, you did !”

‘cos in the back of your mind you wanna
grade the fart.

‘cos if it smells bad enough,
two years later you be going:

“Remember that fart you made, two years ago ?”

The fart game you play.
Starts off around the house when you’re little.

Your father introduces you to it.

You’d be sitting in the house on a Saturday morning,
watching cartoons and your father make a fart and:

“That wasn’t me, that was your mother.”

“Oh, baby, baby ! I want a divorce, uh !
You’re rotten, baby, shit !”

And you join in, grab your little brother,
sit on his head and fart. You ever do that?

That’s a fun game, you little brother freak out and go: “Waaah”

And your father goes: “It’s the fart game,
you’ll play one day son.”

The fart game, you get your
best friend in on that shit too.

You can walk up to your best friend while he’s
watching a football game and fart in his face.

He won’t even get mad.

He just go: “Ok, you got me.”

“That was a good one, too ! My mouth was
open. My mouth was open on that !”

I got a scar, over my eye till this day from
playing the fart game in the bathtub.

Me and my big brother used to play it. We were poor,
we didn’t have mr. bubble, we played the fart game.

“I think it’s smelly !”

“I’m G.I Joe, I’m swimming on the water…”

And my big brother was sitting in the other end
of the tub, and made shit in the tub.

He wanted to add some excitement to the game.

He said: “And then a big brown shark came.”

I jumped up and said: “Aaaaah.”

Cut my eye on the soap dish, blood
gushing out and shit.

Screaming, my mother ran in the bathroom.

Seeing my big brother sittin in the bathroom
with a piece of shit in his hand.

I was layin at the bottom of the water with blood
gushing outta my eye…

And G.I. Joe up my ass…

My mother: “What the fuck is going on over here ?”

Can I hold somebody’s camera.
Anybody bring a camera?

Does its flash go immediately?

Like I don’t have to be waiting like my aunt
and shit “Wait a second now !”

They try to press it and the shit don’t work they
be going like: “There’s something wrong with it…”

And it go immediately the flash. Are you sure?
I’ll take a picture of the crowd, for myself.

OK, y’all come over here on this now ?

You know ? I’ll take two of them.

This ain’t no instamatic motherfucker !

I got to wait for the flash and shit !

See you got me waiting I should break your shit.

See the brothers sitting in the back go:
“All this money and he taking motherfucking pictures !”

“I want my picture took, I’d steal
a car motherfucker!”

“Hey, man, I said one fuckin’ picture !”

“You’re going to ruin
my fucking film, man. Come on, shit !”

“Who the fuck do you think you are, man !”

I’ll see you explain the last one
to the guy at the Photomat.

“That’s a picture of Eddie Murphy’s dick…”

You know what would be a good picture?
Can all the brothers stand up ?

All the brothers in the audience?
Straight up ! Everybody up !

Straight up ! I’m serious ! What the fuck are you doing ?
Will you, motherfucker stand up ? Up !

And all the ladies get the cameras up.

We’re gonna set the record straight here.

When I say go…

…everybody whip out their dick and go: “Wuuuhaaa”

Look how fast the white dudes sat down.

Some of them still standing.
Y’all must be italian !

We got some shit on us.

We got all this shit!

We got some dicks hanging down !

Dicks down to this motherfucker !

You don’t believe it.

White people don’t believe it. What’s funny about it,
white people are the ones that made up the rumor.

“You know, black people have tremendous dicks,
but I don’t believe it !”

You know remains of the first dick was found in Africa ?
Big ass piece of bone dick on the floor.

“What is this shit ?”
“It’s an old dried up dick.”

“That means the first dick belonged
to a black man.”

Dicks. We got the shit for it.

We got nice asses, too. We got our shit on.

You see a white dude would be in this suit like this.

“All right, man ! All right, maaan !”

I got a friend, Doug, there go Doug, my friend,
Doug’s ass is way up here on his back.

Ain’t it, Doug? Doug be getting shit stains on his collar.

And in restaurants be reaching for his wallet:
“Lemme get my wallet”

Coz we got our shit hooked,
all this is hooked up with black people.

Chinese people are fucked all around,
coz they got little dicks and little asses.

They do and its fucked up the way they walk.

They be walking all light coz they
ain’t got no shit pulling them down.

Now, a brother’s dick is too big it fucks
up his balance so he’d have to do all this shit..

Everytime you see a brother
in a wheel chair he ain’t always cripple.

He’s got big shit hanging down !

That’s why all the brothers model
they drawers in the newspapers. Think ’bout it.

I’ve been seeing newspapers every sunday morning.
A white dude in his drawers…

Never have no balls in they drawers.

Smiling and shit. If I had no balls
I wouldn’t be smiling this shit.

“I don’t have any dick !”

Brother be standing there..if a brother models
his drawers they need an extra fold in the page.

They’re selling underwear but this niggers
dick is in my coffee.

“Want me stir it for you ?”

That’s some true shit.

What’s today’s date ?

Don’t go to cook-outs.

I hate cook-outs man.

Stay away from cook-outs, if you’re like me stay away.

I don’t like my family come by the house, with
the relatives I ain’t seen since the last cook-out.

You got certain relatives you just see at the cook-out.

And they get on your fuckin nerves every year.

My uncle Gus come by the house every year.

My uncle Gus is the uncle that likes to work the grill.

And don’t let nobody touch the grill
when he’s around and shit.

As as soon as he walks in the house its like:

“Get away from that grill you dunna
know how to start a fire”

“You dunna start no fire, put this fire out.
This ain’t no fire goddamnit.”

“Eddie. Eddie go over there get all of
that wood I need half a tree. Chop that tree.”

“Chop down that tree and give me the wood.”

“And Charlie go get me gallons of
gasoline out the shed.”

“Two gallons of gasoline, you kids roll up your
shirt we’re gonna start a fire.”

“Come on, you wanna eat? You wanna eat?.”

“Then shut up and put it on the fire.”

“O.k. put that wood on the side there.”

“O.k. gimme the gasoline Charlie.”

“Hold the match, when I tell you throw the match on
the gasoline all right?”

“When I tell you right? We gonna make a fire.
We gonna eat.

“Here we go pour the gasoline on like this.”

“We need the hole …get that goddamn lighter fluid
out of here we can’t use that shit.”

“Using all the gallons gasoline on this wood.”

“And make a fire, we’re gonna eat a hamburger o.k.?”

“Here we go, Charlie throw the match.”

“NOW THAT”S A FIRE!”

“That’s a fire, look at that, look at that.”

“He be alright, roll Charlie ’round, roll him around.”

And uncle Gus is married to my aunt Bunny.
My aunt Bunny got a moustache and shit !

You know one of them lady moustaches?
It was really cool, back when she was .

Ladies had them little thin ones and shit.

Then when they get about like aunt
Bunny they be havin’ a Billy Dee Williams’ look.

The shit is bigger than a man’s and shit !

Aunt Bunny weight like pounds.

Like real heavy lady and shit.
And the kids were scared of her.

You got that kid logic going.
I remember my aunt Bunny come by the house.

It was like.

I was petrified coz she always
wanted to kiss me and touch me and some shit.

Soon as she walked on the door was like:
“Come here and give aunt Bunny a kiss, baby.”

Then you go: “Waaaaa!”

And my mom would say:
“Why don’t you go and kiss your aunt Bunny ?”

Kids don’t give a fuck, they go:
“She’s got a moustache !”

Why do kids move so slow
when they be crying?

“Stop making all that noise !”

” I said shut up !”

You be mad coz your mother hit you. You be
standing there wishing hateful shit on your mother.

“God please kill her !”

“I hope she gets hit by a truck and die !”

“I hate her ! I hate her !
I hate her ! I hate her !”

Shut up or I’ll come and give you
something to cry about.

Than my pop starts talking.
And my pop is fucked up every th of July !”

Black men like to claim the house
when they’re drunk.

Men period I think, like to claim their house.

They want you to know that if you drunk and they’re
drunk. And you in their house, that it’s their house.

My father standing in the middle of
the cook-out saying: “It’s my house !”

“You know that it is ? And if you
don’t like it, you get the fuck out !”

“I don’t give a fuck !”

“I don’t give a… I pay the motherfucker
bills in this motherfucker !”

“And, hey… Kiss my ass if you don’t like it !”

“Yes ! Yes, motherfucker, yes !”
‘cos you know what it is?

I’m drunk. So what? Beautiful ! I’m drunk.
I’m drunk ! So what? I’m drunk.

“You know what ?
I got drunk in my motherfucking kitchen,

I was drinking out of my glass
in my motherfucker house.”

“So, fuck it !”

Then he attacks the whole family, like:
“Gus ! Gus, can I ask you a question?”

“Why is the fire so big ?”

“Why you made the fire so big ? Look at this shit !
Is a motherfucker ridiculous, Gus !”

“The fire is too motherfucker big ! Why ?

You’re coming in every motherfuckin’ year, Gus…”

“…and you burn out
my motherfucker backyard ! Why ?”

“I’m cooking motherfucker
hamburgers this big ?”

“I’m not cookin’ no motherfucking
brontosaurus burgers in this motherfucker !”

“This ain’t the motherfucking Flintstones, Gus !
It’s my house, motherfucker !”

“Look at Charlie standing over there with
rd degree burns on em.”

“It doesn’t make sense no.
But you take things too far Gus.”

“I tell you go an inch, you go inches.
Tell you go inches you go .”

“Give a nigga rope gonna be a cowboy Gus.”

“Why don’t you listen. Eddie, get that
motherfucking dog away from my plate.”

“I’m gonna shoot this dog.”

“I’m gonna shoot this mother… shut up.
I’m gonna shoot it. Stop crying.”

“Stop crying Eddie, cuz you can get the fuck out.”

“You’re gettin’ the fuck…
I know you’re seven !”

“But you’ll be a seven year old
walkin’ the dog no house motherfucker !”

“I hate this motherfucking dog.”

“You don’t spend time with the dog Eddie.”

“You don’t feed the motherfucker.”

“You don’t pet it. You don’t even know
what the fuck the dogs name is anymore do you”

“The dog don’t give a fuck he don’t know his name.
The dog is yrs old dont know his name.”

“Watch this: Coco ! Where the fuck is it goin’ ?

The dog’s stupid !’cos you
don’t spend time with the motherfucker.”

I’m supposed to work hard all day
and come home to feed the motherfucking dog ?

Fuck no, I’m not feeding the motherfucker !”

“You know Eddie, when nobody’s home.”

“When nobody’s home you know what I do?”

“I walk to the dog and I kick the motherfucker !”

“I kick the motherfucker with everything I got, Eddie !
And then I giggle my motherfucking ass off.”

“‘cos I hate the motherfucker !
‘cos you don’t clean up behind it !

“This ain’t Scooby-Doo motherfucker !”

“Why can’t you clean the dog.”

“The dog shits all over the house.
If noone tells you Eddie you dont clean the shit.”

“You let the shit stay forever.”

“Shit been in the den for months Eddie.”

It’s been in the den for months, you kids
go pass it you act like you don’t see it.

“And unless you’re told you won’t clean the shit.”

“The shit is hard as a rock now !
It’s like motherfuckin furniture in there !”

“I went in there last week to watch the fight,
and said fuck it I put my drink on top of it Eddie”

“It’s a coffee table now !
Why can’t you clean up shit ?”

“My friends come over and they oh that’s
lovely. It’s not lovely it’s a piece of shit.”

“‘Cos my children don’t listen !”

Then my aunt Bunny would fall down the steps.
Almost every year.

Ever had a heavy set aunt fall down the steps?
Make a whole lotta fucking noise !

It’s scary, too, ‘cos they’ll be
calling Jesus on the way down !

And aunts don’t like to fall straight
down the steps like a kid,

They be trying to break the fall
and hold it and stop the shit.

And that’s what makes
the fall take a half hour then.

Real loud, like:

“Lord, Jesus Christ, help my lord,
please, Jesus, please !”

“Jesus, God, help, my lord, Jesus, help me I’m falling
down the steps oh lord Jesus Christ please !”

“My shoe !”

“Oh lord Jesus God help us !”

“I’m half way down now help my lord Jesus !”

“Lilian !”
“What is all that fuckin’ noise ?!”

“Lilian !
The bitch is falling down the steps again !”

“Lilian ! Lilian !”
“What’s wrong, Bunny ?”

“I fell down the steps !”

“Bunny fell down the steps ! Bunny fell down the steps !”

Eddie, go get your aunt Bunny
something cool for her head !”

“What happened ?”
“Bunny fell down the steps !”

“Hey, Charlie ! Aunt Bunny fell down the steps !”

“Gus ! What the fuck is wrong with your wife ?”

“Why can’t she walk the fryer steps?
You come up every fuckin’ year, Gus…”

“… and you burn down my motherfucker backyard
and your wife rips down the steps !”

“Why ? I work hard to get my place beautiful…”

“…and then the motherfucker come over
and rips the steps down !”

“Look at the motherfucker steps !
They’re fucked up, Gus !”

“Why can’t she walk the steps ?
You know why she can’t walk the steps ?”

“‘cos she’s a fat hairy bitch !
That’s why !”

“That’s why, Gus !
And my children are afraid of your wife.”

“Eddie’s afraid of her !
He has nightmares about your wife !”

I went to his room last week, Gus, he was
in the bed screaming, Oh, help me, help me !”

“I just walk up to him, shake him, ask: What’s wrong ?
He said: Aunt Bunny is coming to get me !”

“He’s afraid of your wife, ‘cos she has
a bigger moustache than his father !”

But you know what it is, Gus ! I figured
out about your wife. And I’m gonna say it..

I figured out about your wife.
I know where you met your wife.

You told me you met your wife years
ago on a motherfucking camping trip…

“…and that your wife was portorican.
Your wife ain’t no motherfucker portorican !”

“I thought she wasn’t from the first minute ‘cos
I walked up to her I said: “Hi, my name is Vernon.”

And she said: “Hello, I’m Bunny. Guni gugu !”

“What the fuck does guni gugu mean, Gus ?”

“I don’t know what the fuck that shit is as to this day.
I thought I learned some new spanish shit !”

I went up to my friend: “Hey, Sanchez ! Guni gugu !
And Sanchez says: “Get the fuck outta here !”

I’ve been walking around for years confused.

And I finally figured out about your wife,
where you met your wife.

“You didn’t meet your motherfucker wife
on no camping trip !”

“Your wife is a Bigfoot, isn’t she, Gus ?”

“Your wife is a Bigfoot, isn’t she, that’s why
the bitch’s mustache is so motherfucker thick !”

“‘Cos you shaved the bitch down
and taught it to speak !”

“I know a motherfuckin’ Bigfoot when I see one !”

“You bring a Bigfoot in my home, Gus ?
On my children ?”

The bitch can’t talk, she can’t walk the fryer steps !
She’s not trained well, Gus !”

She can not walk steps. I bet she
climb the fuck out a tree though, don’t she, Gus ?”

“Doesn’t she ? Doesn’t she ?”

“But you had to bring her out here !”

Fuck her ! And your motherfucker children?
They’re Bigfeet too ! They’re half Bigfoot, Gus.

“Cos the m.f. is yrs old and have afros inches long.”

“They’re little hairy m.f. just like their mother.”

Look at the motherfuckers, you know
how I found out they was bigfoot?

When I took your kids fishing last week.

I put the motherfuckers in the boat Gus.

And I took the worm and I put it on the hooks.

And they both sat there,
and put the poles down in the boat.

And slammed their face in the water, for mins.

And I think what the fuck are these kids doin.

Then they start movin their heads like this

and the motherfuckers come up with fish.

I jumped back and said can you believe this
motherfuckin shit.

Then kid took the fish out of his mouth,
looked at his brother and said: “Guni gugu !”

“I said, what the fuck is going on here ?”

“Normal kids don’t do shit like that, Gus !
But I’ll tell you somethin’ motherfucker !”

You can take your motherfucker hairy fat ass
white mustache bitch out the fuck.

“you can go upstairs and get the
motherfuckin’ dog and scoop up the shit…”

“and take Eddie and get these motherfucker
long Angela Davis afro-ware motherfucker kids of yours…

“…and put them in the motherfucker
guni gugu-mobile and get the fuck out !”

“And if my wife don’t like it
she can get the fuck out too !”

“You missed me, bitch !”

Thank you !

Oh, Jesus.

Oh, shit… I’m in Washington D.C. !

Jesus ! Christ !

This is where Reagan lives. Not far from here.

Hey Ron everyone’s booing and I ain’t said shit.

Well, tell us something
we don’t know, motherfucker !

It ain’t like people sit around going “Really does it suck?”

Shit’s changing though, we got black politicians now.

Who’s that boy… Harold Washington ?

Harold Washington said: “Fuck it !”
And won.

I know he’s still sitting around going:
“I really won the motherfucker?”

And Jesse Jackson seen that shit and said:
“Fuck it, imma run too, fuck it”

“Jesse you can win” i see these brothers going.

“You can win Jesse, coz you’re bigger than
motherfucking Harold Washington.”

“Fuck Harold Washington.”

“Fuck him man, run for president.”

And Jesse going: “Yeah, fuck that shit.”

I’ve seen Jesse in the gym, working
the fuck out, too, for getting into shape.

You know he got a chance he can win.
White dudes like to do shit like that…

…vote for the wrong dude as a goof.

They get drunk and shit and go like:
“Let’s vote for Jesse Jackson !”

“I just voted for Jesse Jackson !”

And next day would be
like this: “He fuckin’ won?”

Jesse knows that shit can happen. He gets in shape.
I’ve seen him running round the track and shit.

I said: “Why the fuck you getting in shape like this?”
He says: “”cos I’m gonna be the first black president.”

“I have to give speeches like this: My fellow americans !
As your president I feel

And dude be going:

“He won’t stand still !”

I ain’t hooked up into all that racism shit.

My motto is, life just be happy with the motherfuckers.

I ain’t into all that racism shit.

Racism ain’t as bad as it used to be anyway man..
I mean its fucked up but,

They don’t call niggers, niggers no more and shit.

White people don’t say it.

Especially when there’s niggas around.
So I guess I wouldn’t know it.

I went to Texas to look into racism,
about two months ago.

I had a show down in Texas, got off the plane
and shit, walked up looking for racism.

My friends always told me: “You better
not go to Texas ! They’ll fuck you up !”

And when a modern day brother here that shit
“What ! They ain’t fucking nobody up!”

Brothers act like they couldn’t have
been slaves back years ago.

Its like motherfuckers liked that shit.

“I wish I was a slave; I would fuck somebody up!”

“Shit..tell me to bale some motherfucking cotton.”

“I would have been on the street and shit..

“He would came up and say ey
yo nigga bale this cotton?”

“I’d say suck my dick master.”

“Suck my motherfucking dick.”

“That’s right I ain’t baling a motherfucker.”

The first dude that got off the boat said that shit.

“Bale that cotton.”

“Fuck you, motherfucker !”

Other motherfuckers say: “We bale the shit,
just keep that shit away.”

“Just keep that fuckin’ shit away from me.”

I got of the motherfucking plane, walked up,

Got up, walked up, my bag.

All my black shit on, black leather,
big ass medallion and shit on like this.

Little white dude walk up and say: “This your bag?”

I said: “Yes, my fuckin’ bag !”

“Why, motherfucker ?
A black man can’t have a suitcase ?”

And the dude is like:
“What the fuck’s wrong with this guy ?”

Wasn’t that bad at all.

I’m winded.
I’m out of breath.

Sweating and shit.

“Do take it off!”
“Shut up, bitch!!”

Y’all didn’t know I was a ventriloquist too.

Shit ain’t as bad as it used to be.

You know who get it real bad now?
Chinese people.

They are the ones who be getting fucked over bad.

You be teasin’ them and shit.

Ever go into a restaurant and order up some food.

Chinese dude would be in there.
and when he leave you do like this:

Everybody makes fun of chinese when
they order some food up and shit.

And they’re nice guys, be all courteous and shit.

Your friends and shit be laughing.

And he look out the back and say:
“The food is coming right up.”

He be in the back watching us:
“Very funny. Very funny.”

“Make a special Won-Ton soup for him…”

I wonder if they have,
like a McDonald’s in China ?

Chinese people would be walking and say:
“Give me a Big Mac and a strawberry shake,
a large order fry and a cherry pie.”

And dude say: “Big Mac, strawberry shake, large
order fry and a cherry pie, coming right up.”

That’s a fucked up language too, chinese.
Hard to learn.

I wanna learn to speak spanish.
That’s the shit.

You know what I’d really want to speak?
I’d like to learn how to speak french,
‘cos that’s some cool shit, french.

You can say “I gotta shit” in french
and it would sound good:

Just sounds good.

I don’t like that shit that arabic. That the motherfuckers
be speaking in the - . That shit’s fucked for me.

It sounds nasty and shit, would be getting like:

That’s a word in arabic:
That means some shit to them !

“Could I have a hamburger cheese roll?”

“Never mind, man.”

“I don’t want no hakana
on my bread, motherfucker !”

Spanish language.

You know why I want to learn how to speak
spanish? Coz I was always a Ricky Ricardo buff.

When he would get mad of Lucy and be saying:

I’d say: “Go on Ricky curse the bitch out.”

Ricky would lose his mind. Ricky was cool and shit.

For the fifties Desi Arnaz, Ricky
Ricardo was a cool motherfucker.

He had his baggies on, pointed shoes, in the club
Babaloo and shit.

Remember that shit?

You be sittin’ there like this:

He had a cool ass laugh too, it was like:

“It’s justa ridiculous !”

“Hey, Fred ! How would you like
to fuck me up the ass ?”

TV is all screwed…
Any kids here ?

I mean, little kids.
I don’t like you bringing those kids down here.

How old are you, man ?
How old ?

? Oh, you’re gonna be fucked up
when you leave.

“Dad ! What’s a dick, what is that ?”

How old is the other girl, over there ?

Oh, y’all fucked up now !

Y’all thought I would be going like this:

You didn’t know I’d be saying: “A dick this big !”

The kid’s gonna be waking up and:
“A negro’s dick’s coming to get me mom !”

I’mma tell you all a joke you can tell in school,
all right, ‘cos I’ve been telling this dirty stuff.

Here’s a little joke…
Y’all can listen to it too.

I know lots of times people seen my show then go to
work and try to tell and fuck my jokes up on the job and shit.

“…and then he said guni gugu !”

“And he had a G.I. Joe up his ass!”

“Hey, I’m Mr. T, I’ll rip
your cock off with my ass !”

And dude be standing all:
“Yeah, very funny shit, right…”

Here’s a joke you can tell at school,
when school starts.

Everybody be quiet now.
Are you listening guys ?

A bear and a rabbit
are takin’ a shit in the woods.

And the bear turns to the rabbit and says: “Excuse me,
you have problems with shit sticking to your fur ?”

And the rabbit says: “No.”

So the bear wiped his ass with the rabbit.

I like that joke.

Oh, shit !
Anybody got cable ?

I’ve been watching a lot of cable lately ‘cos I’m
so mad with it. Only good TV show now is Star Trek.

That’s some good shit !

I like Captain Kirk, ‘cos Captain Kirk
will fuck anybody !

I’ve seen him beamed down on a planet-
ever seen that when he’s fucked this dream bitch?

You gotta be a horny motherfucker
to fuck a dream bitch !

I mean, I’m no racist, but if the bitch is green
there’s something wrong with the pussy!

He’ll be fucking a mutant and:

Ship be gettin’ all fucked up. Mr Scott, I like him
he made me laugh, he’s never cool and shit.

He’s the opposite of Spock.
The ship be all fucked up and Mr. Scott say:

“Captain, my ship can’t take much more
of this sir. She’s about to blow !”

“Let Spock handle it.”

And Spock say: “Mr Scott, why don’t you take
the phasers and point them at the dylithium crystals

and point them phasers at them
and then use the power from the phasers

to regenerate the dylithium crystals
and we can get out on the impulse power.”

“Mr Spock ! It just might wax it !”

“The shit worked last week, motherfucker !”

I got fed up with TV and shit,
coz I seen all the Star Treks.

I start watching cable.

I was watching Poltergeist last month.

I got a question.

Why don’t white people just leave the house
when there’s a ghost in the house ?

Y’all stay in the house too fuckin’ long.
Get the fuck out of the house !

Very simple: If there’s a ghost
in the house, get the fuck out !

And not only did they stay in the house
with the poltergeist, they invite more people over !

Sitting around going: “Our daughter Carroll-Ann’s
in the television set.”

I would have been gone.

If I had a daughter, went down to the precinct and say

“Look man, I went home my fucking daughter’s in the
t.v. set and I just fucking left.”

You can have all this, I ain’t going back
to the motherfucker.

I just came down so when she ain’t at the school
you don’t think I killed the bitch or anything like that.

But she is inside the tv set you can have
all that shit. Thank you.

“Mr. Murphy didn’t you try to save your daughter?”

Yeah, I’m a man, see I tried to save her

I turned the channels the shit didn’t work.
I got the fuck out.

The kid was only years old in the movie,
they couldn’t have been to attached to her.

In the amityville horror the ghost
told them to get out of the house.

White people stayed in there. Now that’s a hint
and a half for your ass.

A ghost say get the fuck out, I
would just tip the fuck out the door!

Lou Walker looked in the toilet bowl, the’re was
blood in the toilet.

And said, “That’s peculiar.”

I would ‘ve been in the house saying:
“Oh baby this is beautiful.”

“We got a chandelier hanging up here, kids
outside playing. Its a beautiful neighbourhood.”

“We ain’t got nuttin to worry,
I really love it this is really nice.”

“GET OUT !”
“Too bad we can’t stay, baby !”

You know, I wanna say something.

I think maybe like 30 years ago there was a woman
that wanted to sing, a black lady wanted to sing opera…

What was her name ?

Mary Anderson? And this place was like
segregated and she couldn’t sing here.

And she couldn’t sing in the place.
And here we are, like not even 50 years later,

A 22 year old black male
on stage getting paid to hold his dick.

God bless America ! I gotta go now.
Y’all take it easy, bye bye !

Hope this helps someone.

Security and Encryption Faq 22.6.8

by Doctor Who

"No one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with his privacy,

family, home or correspondence, nor to attacks upon his honour and
reputation. Everyone has the right to the protection of the law
against such interference or attacks."

Article 12 Universal Declaration of Human Rights

Privacy and anonymity are very important principles associated with
both freedom of speech and democracy.

"Anonymity is a shield from the tyranny of the majority… It thus
exemplifies the purpose behind the Bill of Rights, and of the First
Amendment in particular: to protect unpopular individuals from
retaliation - and their ideas from suppression - at the hand of an
intolerant society."

Justice Stevens, McIntyre v. Ohio Elections Commission, 1996

There are many roads to security and privacy on the Net, this is one

that I have personally pursued and can recommend from my experiences.
I am not making any claim that it is the best or the only route to
privacy and security, only that it works for me.

There are countless reasons why someone may need the reassurance of
anonymity. The most obvious is as a protection against an over-bearing
Government. Many people reside in countries where human rights are
dubious and they need anonymity to raise public awareness and publish
these abuses to the world at large. This Faq is to help such people.

I am very grateful for the help and support I have received from many
quarters and in particular from someone who uses the nic "Yardbird".
Below is one of his suggestions:

"Security and anonymity are not the sole province of any one person or
document. They are goals, not methods. The tools are available, but
anyone using them must gain their own knowledge by reading, practice,
and asking questions."

This surely is what this Faq is about. Read, digest, but most
importantly do your own research.

Changes since previous revision:

Many minor refinements over revisions 22.3/4/5 and further tidying up.
I have always striven for accuracy and I will respond to intelligent
and verifiable criticism of any inaccuracy. But please remember the
programs and choices made are mine and mine alone. By all means

choose differently if you have other preferences.

A copy of this Faq can be found here:

https://www.panta-rhei.eu.org/pantaw…dEncryptionFaq

and here: http://birdsofafeather.bravehost.com/DrWho

This is the HTML version.

Also at: http://birdsofafeather.bravehost.com/DrWhoFAQ.txt

This is the signed version in text format that should verify.

Part 1 offers an overview approach to achieve security and anonymity.

Part 2 offers practical help with the installation of some of the
programs mentioned in Part 1. In some cases this includes detailed
setup instructions to help achieve the goal of true computer and
Internet privacy and anonymity. I assume a basic understanding of

computers, such as the ability to copy and paste and a general
knowledge of how to install programs and follow setup instructions.

Part 1 (Questions 1 to 30)

1. How does encryption work?

Essentially the plaintext is combined with a mathematical algorithm

(a set of rules for processing data) such that the original text
cannot be deduced from the output file, hence the data is now in
encrypted form. To enable the process to be secure, a key is
combined with this algorithm. This key might be a personal key for
your own use or it might be a system generated session key. In this
case, you will never need to know the key. It is only used for one
session then discarded. A new key will be generated for the next
session. Generally a personal key will be used again and again and
need the protection of a passphrase. Some programs offer a choice of

both a passphrase or a keyfile or both may be used together.

Obviously the process must be reversible, but only with the aid of
the correct key. Without the key, the process should be extremely
difficult. The mathematics of the encryption should be openly
available for peer review. At first sight this may appear to
compromise the encryption, but this is far from the case. Peer
review ensures that there are no "back doors" or crypto weaknesses

within the program. Although the algorithm is understood, it is the
combination of its use with the key that ensures secrecy.

2. I want my Hard Drive and my Email to be secure, how can I
achieve this?

You need PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) for your Email and TrueCrypt
version 4.3 (or later) for your hard drive encrypted files.

TrueCrypt is an OTF (On-The-Fly) type program. OTF means the
encrypted data is only decrypted into RAM (Random Access Memory) and
remains at all times encrypted on the drive. Thus a crash close will
not leave packets of plaintext on your drive. A very important
feature.

PGP is available for all versions of Windows, Linux, Unix, Mac and
others. The source code is available for checking should you wish.

TrueCrypt has now matured into a truly excellent open source encryption

program. It does not display any file header info to help a snooper
identify the file’s purpose. The header is encrypted and shows as
random garbage. The program will encrypt both files or a complete drive
partition. There are advantages and disadvantages to both options. I
prefer the partition option. Truecrypt does not need the partition to
be formatted, nor need it display any drive letter. So it could use
a portion of unformatted space at the end of a drive. This space can be
any size you wish. I strongly urge you to study the included manual
before using it for any critical purpose. The manual explains the use

of keyfiles in combination with your passphrase to maximize your
security.

The source code is freely available. The importance of this cannot be
too strongly stressed. It means the possibility of a hidden back-door
is reduced to a minimum.

A wholly new recommendation included since revision 22 is VMWare
Workstation 6. This has nothing whatsoever to do with encryption, but
works with Truecrypt to offer total security on your desktop or laptop

computer. Workstation 6 can create a virtual bootable operating system.
To ensure secrecy, it should be setup to boot from within your hidden
TrueCrypt encrypted drive. The method is explained within this Faq.
This offers several advantages over my previous recommended method
using DriveCrypt Plus Pack. A further advantage of VMWare Workstation
6 over DCPP is it is open source.

Note 1: PGP, although excellent at ensuring Email privacy, does
nothing for anonymity. The difference is crucial.

I will assume that anonymity is also very high on your list of needs
and so will concentrate on that issue further down the Faq.

3. What is the difference between PGP and TrueCrypt?

One of the difficulties before asymmetrical key encryption was
discovered was how to get the key to the person wanting to send you an
encrypted message. In the past trusted couriers were used to get these

secret keys to a distant location, maybe an overseas embassy. Nowadays
this is unneccessary because of the discovery of what is called public
key cryptography. Two different keys are used. One key is secret and
the other is made public. The most widespread program of this type for
private use is PGP, invented by Phil Zimmerman. In fact it has become
the de facto standard on the Net. This program is ideal for Email.

Anybody sending you mail simply encrypts their message to you with your
PGP public key. The public key is obviously not secret - in fact it

may be spread far and wide so that anybody can find it if they wish to
send you encrypted Email. The easiest way to ensure this is by sending
it to a public key server. On the other hand, some prefer not to share
their key, except within a small closed group. Your choice.

The only way to decrypt this incoming message is with your secret key.
It is impossible to decrypt using the same key that was used to encrypt
the message, the public key. Thus it is called asymmetrical encryption.
PGP is simplicity itself to install and use. It even offers to send

your newly generated public key to a key server.

For your normal hard drive encryption, you will need a symmetrical type
of encryption program. This means the same key is used for both
encryption and decryption. There are many such programs. I strongly
recommend TrueCrypt.

TrueCrypt uses the passphrase to encrypt a randomly created key. It
stores an encrypted copy of the key within the headers of the encrypted
device. It is the plaintext of the key that is used to encrypt (and

decrypt) the contents of the disk or container on an as needed basis
into RAM memory.

With PGP a public key is chosen to encrypt the message. PGP will then
generate a one time session key which it uses to encrypt the message.
This session key is then itself encrypted with the public key of the
intended recipient of the message. This encrypted copy of the session
key is then wrapped in the headers and sent along with the encrypted
copy of the message to the recipient. Only the recipient has the

private key which can decrypt this session key. If there are multiple
recipients, then this session key is encrypted to the public key of each
recipient in turn. All these different encrypted versions of the
session key are then wrapped in the headers of the message. Each
recipient can decrypt his version of the session key, which will then be
able to decrypt the message. PGP also has a keystore. The keystore is
protected by the passphrase.

The sender of a PGP message may choose to sign a message. The message

may or may not be encrypted. PGP will then encrypt the hash of the
message contents using the senders private key. His public key can then
be used by the recipient to check that his hash of the message is
identical to the original, thus proving it was made using the sender’s
private key. Only one private key, the sender’s, can encrypt the hash
such that it will check out correctly with the sender’s public key. If
even a white space between two words is closed up in a message, the
signature will show as bad. This offers a very secure method of checking
both the accuracy and the authenticiity of a message.

Truecrypt and many other symmetrical encryption programs store the key
within the headers of the partition or container. One question often
asked by newbies is whether the passphrase is also stored somewhere
within the encrypted file. No. The passphrase is passed through a hash.
It is the hash output that is stored within the headers of the encrypted
container. The program will compare this hash with the hash it produces
from your passphrase that you type in to mount (open) the container. If
they are identical, the program will use your passphrase to decrypt the

key that the program generated to encrypt the disk or container. It is
this key that will then be used to decrypt the disk or container on the
fly. Truecrypt explains this in detail within the users manual that is
downloaded with the program. I strongly urge you to read and digest.

Hashing is a one way action only; it is impossible to derive the key
from the hash output. The hashing process is simply a way of checking
that the correct passphrase has been input. If the program was somehow
altered to force it to use an incorrect passphrase, the output would be

garbage. There is no shortcut or fix, without the correct passphrase
the output will be junk.

TrueCrypt offers the option to use a keyfile. This can be in place of or
in addition to the passphrase. Please read the manual for full
information about this very useful feature.

4. I have Windows, am I safe?

Windows is a closed source operating system which is a law to itself.
Each new update that is released by Microsoft seems to need further
updates to fix the security holes discovered in the previous releases.
It has been an ongoing process over many years with no end in sight.
These weaknesses can manifest themselves as security holes when on the
Net. A further problem with this operating system is its seeming
determination to write to your hard disk all sorts of information that
may be hidden from your view in all sorts of places that could be found
by a forensic examination of your computer.

Thus we have a two fold problem. Firstly, the problem of Windows
having the potential of security holes that might be exploited by
snoops and hackers using the Net and a different security problem of
writing all sorts of information to sometimes hidden folders that might
not be obvious from a cursory check by you, but easily found by a
forensic examination.

If you wish to protect yourself from these potential weaknesses you
need to have an effective firewall, an effective anti-virus and an

anti-spyware program. That will hopefully help to minimize the threats
from outside. That is only the start. You also need to replace your
Windows Internet Explorer browser and your Outlook or Outlook Express
Email client for something a lot more secure. I like FireFox and
Quicksilver. Even these need support by using specialist programs.

Even with Firefox or any other Web browser it is imperative that you
disable Java and Javascript.

In some countries, even this might not be enough. Such countries can

force you to hand over your passphrases to these encrypted drives by
threatening imprisonment. As more and more judicial systems seem to be
leaning ever closer to this sort of injustice (injustice because the
culprit is being forced to self-incriminate himself which is in direct
violation of Article 5 of the Bill of Rights; the right to refuse to
be a witness against oneself), so it is more and more important for
the individual to protect himself.

Because of these encroachments on our liberty I propose in this Faq a

method of plausible deniability. This means you can justify every
one of the files and folders that are on your computer. More than that
you must be able to justify every single program, naturally including
TrueCrypt and VMWare.

In the past I have strongly recommended Drivecrypt Plus Pack (DCPP).
However to use this program, or any of the encryption programs from
Securstar, it is necessary to enable both cookies and Javascript. I
can live with cookies as they can be removed immediately after use, but

I will not tolerate Javascript. These both need to be enabled to
register the program to allow continued use after its trial period has
expired. This together with it being closed source have caused me to
change my suggested solution to desktop and laptop security.

5. So what do you recommend now?

I recommend using VMWare Workstation 6 together with Truecrypt. VMWare
is expensive, around 200 US dollars. But so is DCPP. I believe VMWare

is far superior when used in conjunction with TrueCrypt. It is also
open source. It is far easier to justify having on your computer, yet
will hide your activities, provided it is setup as suggested in this Faq.
I find it far easier to use in conjunction with my usual desktop
programs. I am aware that VMWare server is free and I believe it also
is open source. I have not tested it.

There are many other virtual machine programs - some are free and open
source. I recommend VMWare because I have used it and I have faith in it.

VMware offer a free server version of this program. But one of the
strengths of Workstation 6 is it fully supports USB2 and copy and paste
from your host into the guest virtual machine. A very useful feature.

VMWare is for software development engineers and IT professionals. Being
a commercial program for professionals it is more likely to be well
sorted, especially now it is at version 6. This version at last includes
full USB support - a very useful feature indeed.

Key Features:

Broadest host and guest operating system support. It runs on both
Windows and Linux host operating systems and supports most desktop and
server editions of Microsoft Windows, Linux, Solaris x86, Netware, and
FreeBSD as guest operating systems. Supports 32 and 64 bit host and
guest operating systems. Fully configurable, each virtual machine has
configurable memory size, disks and I/O devices and support for CD, DVD,
floppy and USB 2.0 devices. You can specify up to 8GB of RAM per virtual
machine. You should ensure you have as much RAM as possible. I have

found allocating equal amounts to the desktop and the virtual machine
appears a good compromise.

It will appear very daunting at first, but if you follow the suggested
steps, it will become relatively straight forward and even obvious after
a couple of experimental uses. Importantly, everything is done in RAM
and within your encrypted TrueCrypt drive. Despite Windows saving
snippets of your activities, it matters not a jot, because everything it
writes is within your encrypted drive. A very elegant solution to the

problem of how to keep control of Windows.

There are many other software programs that offer differing froms of
virtual machines. By all means experiment. I only suggest VMware
because it works for me.

6. How does this system work?

A detailed setup procedure follows later in the Faq, but briefly:

VMWare Workstation 6 will allow you to create a new bootable Windows (or
Linux or Solaris) operating system, after having already booted into
Windows or Linux in the usual way. It is necessary to open your
Truecrypt container or partition from within Windows first, but that is
the limit of your liability. Meaning that you then start VMWare
Workstation 6 and choose to boot into your virtual Windows from within
your now opened Truecrypt drive. There is always the slight risk of a
Trojan or Tempest attack. To minimize this risk, you must choose a good

firewall and anti-spyware program. I recommend Zonealarm or Kaspersky
for this.

The VMWare program installation can and should be within your usual
desktop. This might sound alarming, but it is not a problem. What
is important is that your VMWare virtual machine must be installed
within your secret TrueCrypt drive. This might sound confusing, but
VMWare creates a virtual machine which is the tool that handles the
guest operating system. Your usual desktop or laptop is referred to

as the host.

Once a virtual machine has been created by VMWare, it is then used to
install a fresh copy of your chosen operating system. This might be
Windows or Linux or even Solaris. This new operating system will
automatically be installed and run from wherever you installed the
virtual machine. In this case, within a TrueCrypt container. After
it is mounted, this container which might be a file or even a whole
partition, will appear as a new drive with its own designated drive

letter to Windows. After booting into your TrueCrypt virtual machine,
you will see in "My Computer" a similarly designated drive C. This is
not your original boot drive C. It is a virtual drive that exists
within your TrueCrypt virtual machine only. This virtual drive has no
contact with your orignal bootable drive C whatsoever. This cannot be
stressed too strongly.

To help with plausible deniability, you should have another virtual

machine (you can have as many as you wish) which should be your honeypot
version. This should be installed within its default location on your
desktop within "My Documents".

Whereas your truly secret virtual machine must be installed within a
TrueCrypt container.

You only need to create the virtual machine once. Likewise, you only
need to install your Windows (or whatever) operating system once. This

is because you can import a once created virtual drive to any other
drive as many times as you wish. You can change several parameters at
this time, including the size of the virtual hard drive you have already
created. All your programs that are recommended further down the Faq,
will be installed only into your truly secret virtual operating system.

Once setup, you will then use it exactly as you would your usual desktop.
This means you boot into your Windows/Linux desktop, then you open your
TrueCrypt drive, then start VMWare, open your Virtual Machine by

navigating to it in your TrueCrypt drive, then starting it by clicking on
"Power on this virtual machine". You shut down by reversing this
procedure.

Note 1: It is possible to tell VMWare to look outside its own specially
created virtual drive, to read other drives contents. Meaning it could
write to these other drives. I would only do that if you are sure you
know what you are doing. No harm is done by keeping all your data
within the VMWare virtual drive. I strongly urge you to do this unless

or until you are a true expert in its use.

Note 2: It is important to tell VMWare not to share its memory with
its host (the host is your usual desktop or laptop operating system).

7. Could I boot off a CD or DVD?

Yes. Using BartPE (do a search on the Web if you wish to find out
more). I found it very slow. Too slow for my purposes. The VMWare

documentation talks of creating an ISO file from your virtual machine
and presumably burning to CD or to an USB stick and then using it to
boot. However, this CD/DVD or USB stick will not be encrypted and is
therefore a possible subject for forensic examination in the case of a
search. In any case it will be very slow in use, as is the BartPE.
Of course you could use it as the basis for a honeypot boot system.

8. How difficult is it to break into TrueCrypt or PGP?

Very difficult, in fact for all practical purposes, it is considered
impossible. In most cases, the weakest link will be your passphrase,
or being compromised by a hardware key-logger through not having good
security on your desktop. From time to time non-expert net users make
speculative suggestions that the American intelligence agencies have
already cracked these programs. FUD - Fear, Unease, Despair. Probably
put out by these self same agencies to try and detract you from using
these programs. Cryptanalysts are certain that these modern programs

with large key sizes of around 256 bits are impossible to crack into
with todays technology, or even whatever is on the horizon. Even with
the future of quantum computers, which should be able to factor very
large primes very quickly, this may well affect PGP but not TrueCrypt.

The likely weakest link will be your passphrase.

Your passphrase should be long. Every extra character you enter makes
a dictionary search for the right phrase twice as long. Each time a
bit is added it doubles the number crunching time to crack into the

program. If you also use a keyfile, this will make it even harder.
Of course an attacker cannot know whether or not you have incorporated
a keyfile with your passphrase. This vastly increases the difficulty
level of cracking into your TrueCrypt container.

Each keyboard character roughly equates to 8 bits, and is represented
on the drive as two hexadecimal characters. This suggests a 20
character passphrase is roughly equal strength to the encryption. In
practice, probably not. A keyboard has around 96 different combinations

of key strokes, thus multiplying this number by itself 20 times is a
hugely large combination, ensuring a high probability of defeat at
guessing a passphrase. But few people can remember a truly random 20
character passphrase. So most people use a less than random one. This
means it should be longer to help compensate for this lack of entropy.

9. What about simple file by file encryption?

I recommend either PGP Tools which comes free with PGP or Kremlin. Of

course this is not necessary for files within your encrypted drive.
But is essential to clear files off your computer that are outside your
encrypted drive. Fortunately, if you follow my suggested method, there
should be no traces of any of the activities you perform within your
TrueCrypt virtual machine. As already explained, your guest operating
system (the VMWare virtual machine) cannot see your usual C drive, or
indeed any other of your drives unless you tell it to do so.

PGP Tools is a long winded process just to encrypt a single file, as it

asks you to first choose a key before entering the passphrase. Kremlin
is quicker because it allows you to right click on the file to be
encrypted, a password box opens and that is it. It also similarly
allows you to wipe any file by right clicking. This can also be done
by PGP. Another recommended program to erase individual files is Eraser.

10. Can I encrypt files on a floppy or USB stick?

Yes, use TrueCrypt or PGP Tools or Kremlin.

11. Does using both VMWare Workstation 6 and encryption slow things up?

Using VMWare Workstation 6 will on occasion slow things up quite
considerably. Far more than does the use of encryption alone. However,
if the right choices are made when installing, this is not such a major
factor. But it is a price that needs to be paid for maximum security
of your desktop data. Naturally, the faster your computer, the less
noticeable this will be. It is especially important to have as much RAM

as you can afford. Windows in 32 bit form does not recognise more than
around 3.2 Gigabytes of RAM.

12. Do I need a PGP passphrase if I store my keyrings within my
encrypted drive?

Definitely. Just because you have encrypted your drive does not relieve
you of the necessity of protecting yourself whilst online.

13. I use Mac, OS2, Linux, (fill in your choice), what about me?

No problem with Linux or Solaris. Just install the correct version of
VMWare and Truecrypt for your choice of operating system.

14. How can I ensure I do not leave traces of unwanted plaintext
files on my system?

If you follow this FAQ, the only evidence that will be found is that
you have both VMWarer Workstation 6 and Truecrypt, among all your other
desktop programs. More details further on about ensuring good
plausible deniability with the use of Truecrypt. If you are paranoid
about temp files, I suggest using Windows Washer.

Note: Windows Washer will not remove evidence of the use of TrueCrypt.
Thus my strong recommendation that you create a honeypot version to
justify its presence on your computer.

It is far more difficult to justify the use of TrueCrypt if it is
found through a foresnic examination after your initial denial of its
existence on your system.

15. What programs can I install into this new bootable operating
system?

All your usual programs that you need to use your computer normally,

plus the more specialised ones to help you achieve anonymity. With
VMWare, you are literally opening a new window (pun intended) into
your online activities. A very secret window, with virtually no
connection with your usual Windows system.

16. How do I "cover my tracks" online?

Never surf naked. Always, always use a proxy. The easiest method is
to use Tor. Tor is now bundled together with Vidalia and Privoxy.
it is simple to install and use. Vidalia is the control panel for
Tor. However, you can achieve the same by right clicking on the Tor
icon on the Taskbar. Installing the Vidalia bundle will install both
Tor and a program called Privoxy. Together these two programs will
protect both your privacy (Privoxy) and anonymity (Tor). Vidalia
will also install the Torbutton on your FireFox browser. A very
useful way to enable/disable Tor.

Using Privoxy is necessary because browsers leak your DNS requests
when they use a SOCKS proxy directly, which is bad for your anonymity.
Privoxy also removes certain dangerous headers from your web requests
and blocks obnoxious ad sites like Doubleclick.

17. Earlier on you mentioned plausible deniability, what is it?

Plausible deniability is the ability to offer irrefutable justification

for every single file, folder, container, partition and drive that
might contain encrypted data.

All the files for your new (secret) Windows (or Linux) operating system
are held within your Truecrypt drive. This might be within a hidden
Truecrypt partition, recommended of course.

You will create an initial VMWare Windows (or Linux) operating system
that is openly visible for inspection as justification for its
presence on your computer.

VMWare is very useful because VMWare Workstation 6 allows you to take
a snapshot which will allow you to backtrack if you have installed a
rogue program or you catch a virus. Alternatively, you could try
installing a different operating system. If your usual desktop OS is
Windows, try installing a copy of Linux. It need not be successful.
The fact you can show a plausible reason is all that is necessary.

You should also create a TrueCrypt container into which you will put
some private or moderately embarassing files as justification for the

TrueCrypt container. Again, this is justification for its presence
on your system.

But you will also create a second truly secret Truecrypt partition or
container into which you will install another virtual machine. It is
this version that will contain all your truly secret data.

Note: It is not essential or even necessary to install the VMWare
program itself within your TrueCrypt container. Naturally, the more
paranoid may choose to do so, but from my tests there was no benefit

whatsoever, but there was a slow down because of the extra overhead
of the encryption.

18. What if encryption is illegal in my country?

VMWare should not be an issue as it is not an encryption program. But
to help, TrueCrypt offers what it refers to as Travellers mode. Full
details within the users manual. It will have to be run off a floppy
or a USB stick and you will still need to hide the media effectively

in the case of a search. I am sorry I cannot help you here. It must
be down to your own initiative.

19. Are there any other precautions I should take?

Make copies of all your PGP keys, a text file of all your secret account
numbers and passwords and the other details for your secret bank
accounts, full details of your Virtual Debit Card account, copies of INI
files for critical programs, your anonymous Email account details plus

anything else that is so critical your life would be inconvenienced if
it were lost. All these details should now be stored in a folder
called "Safe" on your encrypted drive. A copy of this folder should
be stored on an encrypted CD, preferably within the hidden part of a
TrueCrypt container and stored off-site.

If you are going to rely on any variation of the ploys suggested here,
then you should keep this Faq within your hidden encrypted drive.

You will need to take further precautions whilst you are online against
threats from hackers and snoops.

20. What are these threats?

They are known as Tempest and Trojan attacks.

21. What is a Tempest attack?

Tempest is an acronym for Transient ElectroMagnetic Pulse Emanation
Surveillance. This is the science of monitoring at a distance
electronic signals carried on wires or displayed on a monitor.
Although of only slight significance to the average user, it is of
enormous importance to serious cryptography snoopers. To minimize a
tempest attack you should screen all the cables between your computer
and your accessories, particularly your monitor. The modern flat
screen (non CRT) monitor offers a considerable reduction in radiated

emissions and is recommended.

22. What is a Trojan?

A trojan (from the Greek Trojan Horse), is a background program that
monitors your key-strokes and then either copies them to a secret
folder for later recovery or sends them to a server when you next go
online. Sometimes referred to as spyware. This may be done without
your knowledge. Such a trojan may be secretly physically placed on

your computer or picked up on your travels on the Net. Perhaps sent by
someone hacking into your computer whilst you are online, or whilst
visiting a Website.

23. How do I do avoid these threats?

First of all you must have a truly effective firewall. It is not
sufficient for a firewall to simply monitor downloaded data, but to
also monitor all attempts by programs within your computer that may try

and send data out. I suggest installing Zonealarm. This firewall very
cleverly makes an encrypted hash of each program to ensure that a
re-named or modified version of a previously acceptable program cannot
squeeze through and "phone home". Zonealarm version 7 also incorporates
both anti-virus and anti-spyware checking, making it an excellent choice.
To save money, there is a freebie version of ZoneAlarm. If you choose
this version, I recommend then also using the freebie version of
Kaspersky anti-virus. This is because the freebie ZoneAlarm is purely a

firewall.

That is but the start. You also need a Web browser that does not leak
information, plus a method of passing data across your ISP’s servers
strongly encrypted to prevent prying eyes from watching all that you do
on the Net. I recommend, as do the Tor developers, Firefox.

24. I use the Net for Web browsing, Usenet and Email, am I safe?

Whilst you are online anyone could be monitoring your connection.
They do not need access to your computer to do this. They need only
have access to your ISP. To minimize these risks you must encrypt
the data passing across your ISP’s servers.

My suggestion is to use a combination of several programs. Each is
easily set up (see Part 2). Between them you will be secure and
anonymous. The best news, all these programs are free and open
source!

25. Which programs do you recommend?

You need four main programs besides the news client such as Agent (my
favorite) and the Web browser such as FireFox (again my favorite) and
the Email client such as Quicksilver, (yes, another favorite).

Quicksilver will ensure that only text is displayed; all HTML is
banished. This is important because it prevents you being caught by

Email marketeers and perhaps snoops and hackers that use linked graphic
files as a means of tracking "live" Email addresses.

You can still receive HTML and attachments with Quicksilver, it just
protects you by putting them into a separate folder where you can view
them at your leisure when offline.

Other programs are: Stunnel, Freecap, Privoxy and Tor. All are free

and all are open source.

They are all very easy to use and really can be setup by a newbie.
They are totally transparent to the user. Once setup there is no
maintenance or searching for proxies, etc. It is all done in the
background with no further input required from you.

26. Tell me more about these programs?

Stunnel encrypts the data between you and your news server and is very
simple to use.

Freecap is also easy to setup and acts as the bridge between Stunnel
and Tor.

Tor is a connection-based low-latency (meaning fast) anonymous
communication system that protects TCP (Transmission Control Protocol)
streams for Usenet, web browsing, instant messaging (IM), internet
relay chat (IRC), Secure Shell (SSH), etc.

In basic language Tor is a socks server that accepts and encrypts data
from any program that is "socksified", meaning set up to communicate
with it.

Tor is a new program and is still in experimental mode. But it is
still a fully functioning Socks proxying system that offers the promise
of great anonymity and privacy. It is free and open source. It is
supported by the Electronic Freedom Foundation, a web based charity

dedicated to freedom of speech online.

Tor will build automatically and transparently to the client (you) an
anonymous and encrypted route across the Net. It uses multiple layers
of encryption, each node only knowing the previous and next node, so
with several nodes your data becomes anonymized. The principle is like
an onion with many layers of encryption and anonymity. Thus it is
called onion routing.

Remember, the data is encrypted both by Tor which uses TLS (Transport

Layer Security) and by Stunnel which uses SSL (Secure Socket Layer) as
it leaves your desktop through your ISP and on into the Tor network.
Where it exits the Tor network it continues onwards as SSL encrypted
data on its way to the news server or wherever.

For Web browsing we need Privoxy. This again acts as a bridge between
your browser and Tor.

A web proxy is a service, based on a software such as Privoxy, that
clients (i.e. browsers) can use instead of connecting directly to the

web servers on the Internet. The clients then ask the proxy to fetch
the objects they need (web pages, images, movies etc) on their behalf,
and when the proxy has done so, it hands the results back to the client.

There are many reasons to use web proxies, such as firewalling
(security), caching (efficiency) and others, and there are just as
many different proxies to accommodate those needs.

Privoxy is a proxy that is solely focused on privacy protection and
junk elimination. Sitting between your browser and the Internet, it

is in a perfect position to filter outbound personal information that
your browser is leaking, as well as inbound junk. It uses a variety of
techniques to do this, all of which are under your control via the
various configuration files and options. This need not be a concern as
the latest Vidalia bundle from the Tor Website now includes Privoxy with
Tor and does all the setup for you transparently. It also includes the
Torbutton which is a very useful feature that allows immediate choice
of direct or via the Tor network connections.

Privoxy will bridge the connection between your browser and Tor the
Socks proxy host. It will minimize pop up ads, etc. But its main
advantage is it will help prevent information leakage from your desktop
to any third party trying to sniff your data. Used in conjunction
with Tor it ensures all your Web browsing is totally anonymous.

There is no need to close Privoxy if you wish to use your news client
or whatever. These programs are totally transparent to you once they
are running.

27. Is the data encrypted after it leaves the remote server and Tor?

Yes, providing you are using Stunnel. The only precaution you must
take to ensure both privacy and anonymity, is to use Stunnel in
combination with FreeCap, which ensures it routes all data over the
Tor network.

It is possible to use Stunnel alone, but not recommended. Choosing to

do so, would bypass Tor.

28. How do I subscribe anonymously to a news provider?

You can send cash, a postal order or use a prepaid Debit Card.

There are now several news servers offering SSL (Stunnel) encrypted
connections through port 563. Thus I strongly advocate you choose one
of these. It need cost no more to enjoy this extra level of security,

so why accept anything less?

There are also remailers that accept an SSL encrypted connection, which
significantly improves your Email security.

I no longer recommend e-Gold. In its place I suggest Pecunix. There are
rumors that Ebullion has been arbitrarily freezing accounts - not a good
recommendation if true! Pecunix (like e-Gold) is not intended to be
anonymous, unless you take steps to ensure it is. Ensure you sign up
using your choice of discrete details With anonymous access from different

IP addresses using Tor. I recommend opening a second Pecunix account and
transfering funds from the first into the second on an as needed basis.
Any spending from your Pecunix account should then only be done from the
second account. This doubles the difficulty for anyone trying to do a
backtrace. Obviously the accounts should not share any information.
Meaning different Email addresses and other details.

29. How do I create a secure/anonymous Email account with Quicksilver?

I recommend opening a simple POP3 account with one of the many sites
offering a free Email service. Provided you only ever access them via
Quicksilver and Tor, you should be safe.

One example of this is Hotpop. There are many others. Take a look here:

http://www.emailaddresses.com/email_pop.htm

All these are only soft anonymous, but they can all be hardened by using
Quicksilver and ensuring it routes only through Tor. I recommend that

you use Hotpop as your Email incoming POP3 account and send or post
through Tor and the Mixmaster remailer network.

Both Hotmail and Hushmail (and the latest version of Yahoo) insist on
you having both Java and Javascript enabled before they allow you to
open an account. This is unacceptable to me. I would never recommend
using any Email service with such a requirement. Explanations follow in
Part 2.

30. Can you briefly summarise all the above?

You need a VMWare virtual machine to run Windows (or Linux) from its
default location in "My Documents" as your honeypot.

You need TrueCrypt into which you should store personal data that may be
revealed under duress. This is your honeypot secret data. You should
also have a hidden TrueCrypt drive from which your VMWare virtual machine

is run. This is your truly secret encrypted drive.

You need PGP and Quicksilver for your Email. These recommended programs
should help you achieve a very high level of plausible deniability and
privacy.

You will need other programs to ensure you are anonymous whilst online.

You need to be anonymous online for both browsing and whilst subscribing
to any Web services. For this you need at least one, but preferably two

Pecunix accounts and a pre-paid Debit Card. You must only access your
email POP3 accounts using Quicksilver in conjunction with Tor.

Part 2

31. How do I achieve maximum plausible deniability?

Firstly, install VMWare Workstation 6 onto your computer. You should

think of this program as a picture frame. The framework holds the Windows
(or Linux) operating system which is your secret operating system to
achieve total online and desktop secrecy.

One slight problem you will likely encounter is with Windows. It will
probably tell you to validate your installation. Whether this happens
will depend on what the differences are between your existing
installation and the new virtual one.

Before proceeding further in VMWare turn off memory swapping. It is on

by default. In VMWare, Go to Edit > Preferences > Memory and check
"disable all swapping".

At the opening screen of VMWare Workstation 6, click on "New Virtual
Machine". Follow the wizard step by step. For your first attempt just
accept the initial screen defaults. On the Network screen choose "Use

network address translation (NAT)" This can be changed later if
necessary.

In the following screen choose "Allocate all disk space now". This
will considerably speed up the program’s operation. Of course, it is
referring to the virtual disk that you are going to create, not your
usual drive C disk.

Your first install can and should be openly visible. Do this by
allowing it to install a virtual machine within its default location
in "My Documents". This will become your honeypot version. It is the
justification for having this program on your computer.

After creating the virtual machine, you are ready to install a bootable
operating system. You will need your Windows (or Linux) installation CD.
VMWare will take care of all the little details of how to ensure there

is no conflict with your usual Windows system. When you have inserted
your Windows or Linux installation CD, on the tool bar click on "Power
on this virtual machine".

You should then see the initial black screen within the program window,
with the usual MS Windows (or Linux) startup messages of examining your
computer, copying files, etc. Just leave it to install in the usual way.

In my case I found only my external USB connected DVD writer was seen by

VMWare for installation of the windows operating system. My built-in
CD writer seemed invisible. So if your installation cannot start, check
if it is because it cannot see your CD or DVD. Once this is sorted, all
else chould be plain sailing.

This is the longest bit: installing the operating system. When it has
completed, you should click on VM > Install VMWare Tools. These will
allow you to have much improved screen resolution. In fact it allows

superb screen quality, as good as your usual desktop.

You should now check your Internet connection. If you are using an ADSL
modem connected to an ethernet port, it will be seen by VMWare by default.
If you are using an USB connected modem, there may be more hassle before
it is seen. To check, just click on Windows Update. If it connects to
the MS Website, all is well.

When you are happy with things, take a snapshot. Just click on the icon
on the tool bar. This is simply a precaution in case something goes

wrong with the installation of your future programs. You can revert
back to this state at any time by clicking on Manage Snapshots. Easy.

After you have installed all your programs, I suggest taking another
snapshot. You now have a safety net if anything goes wrong in the
future. Naturally, you can take as many snapshots as you please, disk
space is the limiting factor here. VMWare is an excellent vehicle
within which to test out magazine cover CD/DVD’s or downloaded software
prior to normal installation on your desktop. You can at any time

revert back to a previous snapshot without worrying whether it has
messed up the computer.

Remember it is a virtual drive. Your new system when created, cannot see
or even know of the existence of your usual drive C. Thus it cannot write
to it, except to the VMWare virtual machine files within "My Documents".
In fact, unless you tell it, it cannot see any of your other computer
components, apart from your mouse your keyboard and your monitor. All

else is a closed book. You must tell it which USB components you wish it
to see and use. For example, you may choose to use an external DVD writer
or an external hard drive. To communicate with anything else, on the
Toolbar click on VM > removable devices > USB devices > click to enable
any from the drop down list. When you enable anything, expect your
desktop to tell you it is now safe to disconnect the device. This is

VMWare doing its thing by taking complete control of the component away
from your desktop.

Having created a successful bootable operating system which is openly
visible, you now need to import it into your TrueCrypt hidden container.
After importing it, you will then refine things by further installation of
all the critical programs you need to ensure privacy online.

Click on File > Import, and follow the import wizard. It really is very

easy. You can make changes to various things, such as the size of the
virtual machine’s hard drive, RAM, or network connections, if necessary.
For your first attempts, I suggest just accepting the existing settings.

With practice you will realize that you should ideally allow a maximum
virtual disk size around half of the TrueCrypt container size. Snapshots
take up gigabytes of space and it is surprising how quickly you can fill
what was originally a huge Truecrypt volume. Of course there is no need
to keep all the snapshots. You may decide to keep only the first and the

latest.

You will find that with Windows you will normally need to validate your
new installation at some point. I would not bother unless essential to
log on, until you have finished experimenting. You may decide to scrap
that install and try again and again and. . . ! There is a very steep
learning curve with VMWare. Trust me, it is well worth it. I know, I
nearly threw it away several times before I truly mastered it.

You must also defragment this virtual drive C. Do this exactly as you

would with a normal hard drive. In fact you need to do it thrice over.
Once from within the up and running virtual machine by going to "My
Computer" and right clicking on what is shown as the C drive and choosing
Tools and defrag and then after shutting down, VMWare displays a summary
view of this virtual machine. This shows among other parameters, the size
of the hard drive. By left clicking on the hard drive you choose utilities
and defrag. Finally, after closing this virtual machine, from within your

usual desktop you can defrag your TrueCrypt drive by right clicking on its
drive letter in "My Computer" and choosing Properties > Tools > defrag.

Nothing you do within your virtual Windows operating system should appear
in your usual Windows registry. However, the VMWare virtual machine
itself contains a Windows registry and swap file. Unless this virtual

machine is within a TrueCrypt container, data held within it will also
appear in plaintext on your real Drive C hard drive. Thus it is imperative
that your secret virtual machine be installed within a secret TrueCrypt
drive.

A few other important points. If you live in a country where there is the
possibility of being raided without any warning, you must have some means
of switching off your computer instantly. Better to lose some data than
your life. Also, ensure you have disabled the hibernation feature within

your normal desktop. I am aware this all sounds very melodramatic, but
some who will be reading this Faq live in very repressive regimes where
human rights are non-existent.

32. This sounds like a lot of work, is it worth it?

It is most definitely a lot of work. Whether or not it is worthwhile
is down to the individual and how much he desires true anonymity. If
privacy is important to you, then nothing is too much bother.

33. Can you summarize all the above?

The aim is to be able to justify the possession and usage of both
VMWare and Truecrypt.

VMWare should be openly installed and visible using its initial default
choice of location in "My Documents". This is your honeypot VMWare

installation.

TrueCrypt can be justified by using it to store copies of all your
private data, letters, family photos, etc. This is your honeypot
TrueCrypt container and is the justification for TrueCrypt.

Your hidden Truecrypt container will probably be far larger and hold
your truly secret VMWare virtual machine. Into this installation will
be made all the programs you need for online security and anonymity.
It might also hold all data that is precious and very private. Data

that you do not wish revealed to the rest of the world.

The above is a bare bones method.

There are many variations on the above scenario. If you can think of
a superior way of doing things, excellent! The more variant your
ideas, the better your plausible deniability will be.

34. What if I have chosen to create a hidden TrueCrypt drive?

In this case it is preferable that no further data are added to your
honeypot drive at the risk of destroying altogether your hidden drive.
Fortunately, TrueCrypt will allow you to add data provided you choose
this option when mounting the drive. See the manual for this procedure.
My experiments suggest you use this option with care and a lot of
common sense. If you attempt to add too much data, you will get write
behind cache failed messages and loss of data.

Another small hint: If you ever wish to delete very large quantities

of data from your secret TrueCrypt container, you might be tempted to
simply format it using Windows. Indeed, Windows will oblige and do it.
But be prepared for similar write behind cache failed error messages.
Either delete unwanted files or use TrueCrypt to re-format the drive.

35. Any more hints about this system?

Experiment. Remember, that it is likely that windows will demand you
validate these installs. Sometimes, a copy can be made without re-

validating. Some enterprising soul may realize they can import their
complete drive C and use it as their virtual machine. True. But that
install will likely contain MSIE and perhaps outlook, plus some personal
details such as credit card usage, etc. Bad news. Also, Windows will
know what you have done and perceive it as an illegal copy and may
prevent you from logging on until you have re-validated the copy. What
you are doing is perfectly acceptable to MS, provided it is on the
original machine on which the original copy of Windows was installed.

Microsoft themselves offer a free download of a virtual machine. But
as with most MS products, it offers only the basics. It also assumes a
child-like trust in Microsoft. Being Microsoft it is also closed source.

If you copy or move your VMWare virtual machine files to a different
location, VMWare will notify you when next you attempt to load that the
virtual machine UUID has changed. Just choose to create a new UUID from
the choices offered. Do not worry about this. The UUID is stored in
the VM folder, specifically in the *.vmx file. You can access by

opening the file in a text editor, however do not edit it. Alternatively
you can look it up in the vmware*.log under UUID.BIOD/UUID location.
Naturally, if this virtual machine is within your TrueCrypt container it
is invisible to prying eyes anyway

36. What programs do I need and where do I get them?

There are five other programs besides VMWare and TrueCrypt that I
recommend for security and anonymity:

PGP, Stunnel, FreeCap, Privoxy and Tor.

And three others recommended for Email, Usenet and Web browsing:
Quicksilver, Agent and FireFox.

In all cases where there is a choice of download, ensure you download
the version that is compliant with your operating system, e.g. Windows
XP or whatever.

Get them here:

VMWare Workstation 6: http://www.vmware.com/products/ws/

PGP: https://www.panta-rhei.eu.org/downloads/PGP/

TrueCrypt: http://www.truecrypt.org/

Tor comes bundled wth Vidalia and Privoxy. Get them here:

http://tor.eff.org/index.html.en

Stunnel is used for NNTP secure connections to your news provider.

Stunnel: http://www.stunnel.org/download/binaries.html

Stunnel requires the executable file plus 2 others.

stunnel-4.05.exe
stunnel-4.05.exe.asc (digital signature file optional but recommended)

OpenSSL Libraries (required files). These are put in the same folder

as Stunnel:

libssl32.dll
libeay32.dll

libssl32.dll.asc (optional)
libeay32.dll.asc (optional)

FreeCap: http://www.freecap.ru/eng/?p=index

Privoxy: http://www.privoxy.org/ (no longer needed as a separate
program because it is now included with the Tor bundle.)

Not essential, but strongly recommended:

Agent: http://www.forteinc.com/main/homepage.php

FireFox: http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/

Quicksilver: http://www.quicksilvermail.net/

Note: There are other versions of PGP. For example GnuPGP.
Originally designed for Linux, but also ported to Windows. This has a
command line interface (CLI) and needs a graphical user interface (GUI)
if you wish to enjoy the same benefits as 6.5.8. Your choice.

I like the keyboard shortcuts feature of 6.5.8. For example I have
Function Key 10 (F10) set in Options as a single key press to decrypt

the current window. Saves bother if there are multiple messages to
decrypt.

Note 2: You may find Zonealarm giving you warnings about Tor attempting
to send Email. It is not trying to send Email at all. It is just
trying to connect to a node that has been setup with what is called a
fascist firewall in place. Meaning it wants to connect using the Email
sendmail port 25 for a connection. Allow it to connect. If you
refuse the connection, you will find there will be fewer nodes available

for Tor to make a connection with.

37. Where do I put these files?

All instructions below assume you are installing into your secret
VMWare virtual machine with TrueCrypt.

Create a new folder called Proxy. This can be within Program Files or
in the root of the virtual drive. Open Proxy and create the following

sub-folders: FreeCap, Stunnel. Install by copying all of the
downloaded files of each of these programs into their respective folders.
Ensure the library files for Stunnel are in the same sub-folder.

Each program can then have shortcuts made and placed on your virtual
desktop.

38. How do I configure Tor?

The latest version of Tor is now offered with the Vidalia bundle which
includes Privoxy the Torbutton for your Firefox browser and a Windows
control panel. Ensure you download the latest release. I recommend
checking back regularly for the latest version of Tor as it seems to
be changing very frequently. I also recommend you take the bother of
reading at least the basics of how Tor works.

It is probably best to accept the default installation folders. Also
accept the full install which will include Privoxy and the Torbutton.

The Torbutton is an easy way to switch Tor on and off when using
your Firefox browser. Privoxy will be pre-configured. A very easy
method of setting up Tor together with Privoxy.

Note: The Torbutton only works with Firefox. Firefox is the browser
that the Tor developers recomend.

39. How do I configure Privoxy?

Nothing to do. It is already pre-installed within the Vidalia bundle.

40. How do I configure Stunnel?

Stunnel is required for an NNTPS, meaning a secure connection to Usenet.

Copy and paste all of the following in Notepad and save it in the
Stunnel folder, name the file stunnel.conf:

#Stunnel client configuration file
#
client = yes
options = ALL
RNDbytes = 2048
RNDfile = Random.bin
RNDoverwrite = yes

#[Meganetnews_NNTPS]

#accept = 119
#connect = news.meganetnews.com:563
#delay = no

[nntps]
accept = 119
connect = news.aioe.org:563
delay = no

#[Putty_nntps]

#accept = 119
#connect = news1.meganetnews.com:563
#delay = no

#[nntps]
#accept = 119
#connect = secure.news.easynews.com:563
#delay = no

#[nntps]

#accept = 119
#connect = news.x-privat.org:563
#delay = no

#[Octanews_NNTPS]
#accept = 119
#connect = snews.octanews.com:563
#delay = no

#[putty_nntps]

#accept = 119
#connect = 127.0.0.1:563
#delay = no

# End of config file

Remove the # from the beginning of any bunch of lines you wish to
make active. The above is setup to optionally allow (When the # is
removed) routing through several news providers using a secure SSL

connection.

Note the lines:

#[putty_nntps]
#accept = 119
#connect = 127.0.0.1:563
#delay = no

This is an option to route your Usenet connection through a SSH

(Secure Shell) host server using Putty.

This option is strongly recommended for Usenet posting when used
together with Tor for maximum anonymity and security. These Secure
Shell servers are offered on a subscription service. I suggest
doing a Google search or try Cotse. I have had no experience with
Cotse, but some speak highly of them.

The file stunnel.conf does not exist until you create it. Stunnel
cannot work without its presence. You will just get some server

error. This might happen if you or Windows names it incorrectly.

You may need to get Explorer to show extensions to known file types,
otherwise Windows may save the file as stunnel.conf.txt. If you are
not sure, go to Tools > Folder Options > View > uncheck "Hide
extensions to known file types". Click on Ok.

41. How do I configure FreeCap?

Go > File > Settings > Proxy Settings > Default Proxy. Type 127.0.0.1
into the server window and 9050 into Port. Click OK. Under Protocol

ensure SOCKS v5 is checked.

Create a shortcut to Stunnel.exe. Copy and paste this shortcut into
the FreeCap window. You will immediately see the Stunnel icon position
itself along the top of the screen.

You have now socksified Stunnel. That is all it takes. Whenever you
run Stunnel you must start it by clicking on the icon from within
FreeCap, which obviously means first starting Freecap. Stunnel secures
the programs and by socksifying it with Freecap, ensures all data is

routed over the Tor network. Just minimize Freecap after starting
Stunnel. To close Stunnel, right click on its icon on the taskbar and
select Exit. Always close Stunnel prior to closing Freecap. This
ensures that no data jumps across, bypassing Tor.

Note: Some may experience problems with FreeCap. If you do, an
excellent, free for non-commercial use alternative, (but not open
source) is SocksCap. It is here:

http://www.socks.permeo.com/Download…load/index.asp

42. How do I configure my Browser?

When you setup Vidalia, it will install Tor, Privoxy and the
Torbutton. Vidalia will ensure your Firefox browser is properly
configured to access websites anonymously.

Note: Firefox versions prior to 1.5 don’t know how to use a socks
proxy without broadcasting your Dynamic Name Sever (DNS) queries to

the local network, so in those cases you should avoid File Transfer
Protocol ( ftp://) links. Torbutton will automatically configure your
browser in this case to point all protocols to Privoxy: this means
that ftp connections will fail, but at least they won’t be dangerous.

But the easiest way to overcome these problems is to upgrade to
the latest version of Firefox.

Warning; Do not use MS Internet Explorer. There is a known bug
that causes Explorer to directly send FTP requests without going
through the specified proxy. Just another reason to avoid this
program.

Browser plugins such as Java, Flash, ActiveX, RealPlayer, Quicktime,
Adobe’s PDF plugin, and others can be manipulated into revealing your
IP address. You should probably uninstall your plugins (go to
"aboutlugins" to see what is installed), or investigate QuickJava,

FlashBlock, and NoScript if you really need them. Consider removing
extensions that look up more information about the websites you type
in (like Google toolbar), as they may bypass Tor and/or broadcast
sensitive information. Some people prefer using two browsers (one for
Tor, one for unsafe browsing).

You will find some Web sites will not now work correctly. This is the
penalty of ensuring you do not give away your private details to any
snooper who may be trying to sniff them.

The latest versions of Firefox now offer many add-on freebies. Do not
install any search add-ons, such as Google or Yahoo. They have a nasty
habit of phoning home directly with usage info, meaning bypassing Tor.

Another tweak, in Control Panel > System > Advanced > Error Reporting >
click on "Disable error reporting". As a further precaution I would

do the same within both your usual desktop and your virtual machine.

Sometimes when Windows wants to send an error report it includes large
sections of your hard drive. Sometimes this will contain file names
that you might prefer not to be sent to MS. This ensures no error
messages should ever be sent. Of course, ZoneAlarm should alert you
anyway. But nothing is lost by being cautious.

Yet another tweak, go to Control Panel > Network Connections and right

click for Properties of your Internet connection. Uncheck File and
Printer Sharing. Then Advanced > Settings > Exceptions. Uncheck all
boxes. No-one should then be able to access your hard drive.

43. How do I configure my news client?

You must now configure your news client by inputting 127.0.0.1 into the

window which asks for your news server name. If you have never used a
proxy prior to this, go to the screen displaying "News Server". In
Agent 1.91 this will be Options > User and System Profile > User.
Enter 127.0.0.1 for the server name. Click OK. The port is set in the
Agent.ini file to 119, do not change that. Stunnel has already been
configured to listen on port 119 anyway and to forward through port 563.

Yes, you can change this port, but only do so if you know what you are
about.

Note: Stunnel can only be used with a news provider that offers a
secure (NNTPS) connection (by default on port 563). For other news
providers Stunnel is useless. For these less secure sites I suggest
socksifying Agent, by dragging and dropping the Agent shortcut into
FreeCap. Not nearly as secure, as your data will not be encrypted after
it leaves the Tor network on its way to the News provider. It costs no

more to subscribe to a secure news provider than it does to one that
does not offer an encrypted connection. So why choose anything less?

Each of these four programs, Stunnel, FreeCap, Privoxy and Tor accepts
connections from either your Web browser, into Privoxy and on to Tor, or
from your News client into Stunnel, socksified by FreeCap and again on to
Tor. Many programs can be socksified, not just those mentioned. The
procedure is exactly the same, just drag and drop the shortcut of the
program to be socksified into Freecap.

44. How do I test these are all working?

Let’s check the Web first.

Start Privoxy (which by default normally starts with Windows).

Open your browser and input: http://p.p/

You should see the Privoxy main page with the following:

"This is Privoxy 3.0.3 on localhost (127.0.0.1), port 8118, enabled."

If you see that, be assured you have accessd via Privoxy.

If you see "p.p. could not be found, please check the name and try
again." You are definitely not accessing via Privoxy.

Go back through the above and check everything very carefully.

Note: This is an internal test, not via the Web. It just proves that
Privoxy was invoked to display that page from its own folder, which you
will see displayed if you click on "View and change the current
configuration"

You will then see a clear display of all the configuration settings.

Do not change anything unless you have a backup file and know what you
are doing.

Let’s assume your Web browser is functioning as it should and you see
the p.p. page displaying the confirmatory message.

You should now test your news reader client.

45. How do I test my news connection is anonymous?

Open FreeCap and click on the Stunnel icon in the FreeCap Window.

Without opening Tor at this stage, start your news client. As a small
precaution ensure you are in an appropriate newsgroup and attempt to
download its headers. You should see connecting to 127.0.0.1
displayed on the lower taskbar in Agent or wherever in the version you
are using, followed by error reported by Winsock driver. Good. This
proves Stunnel was attempting to connect to Tor which is offline of
course, thus no connection was possible.

Now start Tor. Try again. Hopefully this time you will have more

success and it should connect to the news server and start downloading
headers.

Note: It can sometimes take a considerable time to connect when using
the Tor network. This is normal, but means patience is a virtue here.

Go to a multimedia group and start to download a large file. While the
download is in progress, close Tor. You should see an immediate error
about connection to server closed unexpectedly. Good.

Re-start Tor. Re-establish the connection with the server and start
over. This time close FreeCap. Notice the download will continue.
Do not panic! It is still accessing via Tor. Prove this for yourself
by closing Tor and notice the download again stops immediately and
there is the same Winsock error. However, do not normally close any
of these programs until you are ready to go offline. Always close
the news reader first to ensure no data is being accessed which might
just possibly jump across and appear in the clear.

The usual way to open each of these programs is go online with your
ISP. Open Tor, open Freecap, start Stunnel from within FreeCap. Then
last of all open your news reader. Test the system from time to time
to satisfy yourself all is as it should be. Closing down is the reverse
of this procedure.

If you have got this far, you have succeeded in creating a secure and
truly anonymous network connection for both your browser and your Usenet
posting/downloading.

Note: It is imperative that Stunnel be started only from within FreeCap
and thus be socksified. Otherwise it will simply connect directly with
your news provider, bypassing the Tor proxy network. Certainly it is an
encrypted connection but totally useless from an anonymity point of
view. Your ISP will know exactly where you are connected. Your news
server could also log your ISP address!

46. What if no exit server exists on Tor with port 563 (or 119)
enabled?

Since choosing to use SSL via port 563, I have not experienced any
bother whatsoever in connecting to Usenet.

If you would prefer to subscribe to a Secure Shell host, then you need
to use Putty as the SSH client.

Putty is here: http://www.tucows.com/preview/195286.html

You will still need Stunnel to allow the NNTPS (encrypted) connection
into your news provider and FreeCap to act as a bridge between Stunnel
and Tor. Tor is the socks proxy that hides your true IP from the
Secure Shell host server. Putty will channel everything through port
22, which should not be a problem.

See the above example stunnel.conf file.

The sequence is: Agent > Stunnel > Freecap > Tor > SSH server > news

server (or wherever).

This is the route to go for the strongest anonymity. It is especially
recommended for hard anonymous posting to Usenet. For lurking, the
requirements are not as critical and it is sufficient to just go
Agent > Stunnel > Freecap > Tor > news server.

Contrast that with the usual newby connection of Agent > news server,
or worse, Outlook Express > server.

47. How do I configure Putty?

Open Putty. Load one of your SSH servers, but do not yet open the

connection.

Go down left hand column to Proxy. Click on Socks5

Enter 127.0.0.1 into Proxy Hostname and 9050 into Port.

Click on Yes for "Do DNS name lookup at Proxy end."

Go down to Tunnels.

Input 563 for local port. Then input "secure.news.easynews.com:563"

(or whatever name your news provider has assigned you) in the
destination host box (without the quotes) and click on ADD.

Your entry will then look something like this:

L563 secure.news.easynews.com:563

Go back up to the opening screen in Putty and click on Save.

48. Can I post binaries anonymously to Usenet with this system?

Absolutely. If you choose to use Agent, it will always use your news
provider as the posting host. This is why I recommend you subscribe
anonymously to this news provider - see further down regarding anonymous
subscriptions.

If you are into heavy posting then you should use Power Post or
something similar that allows you to choose whole folders of files for
posting.

If you use Quicksilver for posting to Usenet it will always use one of
the mail2news gateways. All data from your desktop is encrypted
through to the first remailer and then on through the Mixmaster
remailers and onto Usenet. The one and only down side is that the
anonymous remailer network does not readily accept large files, such as
binaries. The remailer network was set up to transmit text files, not
binaries.

Agent can ensure that text files are included within the body of the

message, rather than being sent as an attachment. To do this ensure
you are in the posting frame and the focus is in the message frame.
Go File > "Insert text file" > and navigate to your chosen text file.
You cannot do this if you are posting Rar (zipped) files.

This better suits the remailer network which does not normally accept
attachments.

To post binaries use Agent or Power Post or similar and post via your
socksified Stunnel and Tor.

A warning: If you post illegal material, you may find your anonymous
account closed without warning and no possibility of any refund! Of
course no such opportunity exists when you channel through the remailer
network, which is precisely why so many choose to use it.

49. what about sending Email?

I recommend Quicksilver. Quicksilver now supports a direct route
through to Tor, providing you specify it. To ensure this go > Tools >
POP Accounts > Proxy > input 127.0.0.1 in the Proxy Server window and
9050 in the Proxy Port window and choose 5 for Socks Level from the

drop down options. Obviously, you must also input your POP3 userid
and password in the POP Accounts section.

There is no need to worry about socksifying it through Stunnel and
FreeCap. Here are sample templates for this. Just copy and paste
them into a Quicksilver template.

This one is for Usenet, name it Panta-news:

Fcc: outbox

Tor: 127.0.0.1:9050,4a; nowhere.invalid;
Host: panta-rhei.dyndns.org:2525
From: kwiktime <kwiktime@kwiktimemail.net>
From: urnym.goes.here
Chain: panta,*,*,*; copies=2
References:
To: mail2news_nospam@anon.lcs.mit.edu,

mail2news_nospam@freedom.gmsociety.org
Newsgroups:
X-No-Archive: yes
X-Hashcash:
Subject:

….and this one is for Email, name it Panta-Email:

Fcc: outbox
Tor: 127.0.0.1:9050,4a; nowhere.invalid;
Host: panta-rhei.dyndns.org:2525
From: kwiktime <kwiktime@kwiktimemail.net>
From: urnym.goes.here
Chain: panta,*,*,*; copies=2
To:
X-Hashcash:

Subject:

Notice that in both cases truly excellent anonymity is assured because
in addition to the anonymity offered by Tor, your messages are further
anonymized by passing across the Mixmaster remailer network. It should
be truly impossible for your ISP to be able to even discern that you are
posting or sending Emails. This is because you are not using your ISP’s
SMTP server to sendmail or to post.

Hashcash is a requirement for panta-rhei, banana and dizum. Without the
Hashcash token your message will be either randomnly sent to another
remailer or lost. To use Hashcash you must get the Hashcash zipped file
from here: http://www.panta-rhei.dyndns.org/downloads/

Unzip and install in a convenient folder. After installation go > Start >
Programs > Universal Hashcash Minter and copy or drag and drop the

shortcuts shown into your desktop, or wherever. Now all you need to
do is click on the shortcut to mint tokens, copy one of these tokens to
the clipboard so you can paste it into the header of your Quicksilver
template. Then delete that token from the list of availables.

Hashcash is being chosen by remailer admins to help minimize junk mail.
Without it, some might simply close. We all benefit from the remailer
network and this is the price we have to pay for this service. Before
you criticize a remailer for imposing this, try running one yourself!

To read more about Hashcash go here: http://www.hashcash.org/

A further refinement when using Quicksilver is to ensure that when you
ask it to update the remailer listing, it always uses Tor. To ensure
this, on the Tool Bar go > Remailer Documents > Proxy > in Proxy Host

type 127.0.0.1 and Port 9050 and Socks Level 5.

50. Why is the remailer network so secure and anonymous?

Although not perfect (nothing is), it does offer a level of anonymity well
above and beyond what simple anonymous services (such as Hotpop) offer.
It uses the Mixmaster remailers and has protocols to ensure your messages
are very difficult to trace and decrypt. Remember, by using Quicksilver
in the recommended way, you are not just using Mixmaster, but also using

the Tor network which then sends all data on to the Mixmaster remailer
service.

Mixmaster is the type II remailer protocol and the most popular
implementation of it. Remailers provide protection against traffic
analysis and allow sending email anonymously.

Mixmaster consists of both client and server installations and is designed
to run on several operating systems including but not limited to *BSD,
Linux and Microsoft Windows. It does not use PGP, but RSAREF with its own

keys and key formats.

In the above cases, this anonymity is further reinforced by using the Tor
network to anonymize you from the panta-rhei or banana first remailer in
the Mixmaster network. Double anonymity - excellent.

Another remailer system that is available is known as Mixminion. I have
found it unreliable. Others may disagree. But until I have more success
I am continuing to recommend the type 11 remailer system.

51. How do I receive Email with Quicksilver?

You can set up Quicksilver to look for Emails on any POP server such as
Fastmail.fm or hotpop.com. All your mail is then recovered via the Tor
network which helps you remain anonymous.

Go > Tools > POP Accounts > Proxy > 127.0.0.1 for Proxy Server, 9050 for

Port and Socks level 5. Ignore the two lower lines. This will route
your Email path through Tor. You can choose to ensure that quicksilver
only downloads PGP encrypted mail and to delete or leave on the server.
Very flexible.

52. What about P2P and IRC?

P2P using eMule or whatever is very risky from a privacy view point,
unless you know what you are doing. I am sorry I cannot help as I have

never tried it.

The Tor Website claims you can use Tor for IRC and IM, but again, I have
never used Tor in this fashion myself.

53. How do I get access to the premium (paid for) services?

Apply on their sites. But always access via Tor and ensure you subscribe
anonymously. The easiest way is by means of a prepaid Debit Card.

54. I want a Pre-paid Debit Card, how and where do I get one?

Go here: http://www.card444.com
or here: http://www.money-around-the-world.com/ - (same company)

But only after you have configured your browser to route via Tor - most

important!

They will accept many forms of payment. Pecunix is one way using two
different accounts back to back. Another alternative if you live in Eorope
or the Middle East is by funding Cashu.com with vouchers. Within Europe
these vouchers are known as Ukash and can be paid for with cash over the
counter from any store displaying the Paypoint sign. You can then spend
this money with money-around-the-world.com. Look for the Cashu.com
symbol when choosing the payment method.

The Debit Card is acceptable to many more web sites, especially news
providers, than Pecunix (or my earlier choice, e-Gold). Note this card
is solely for Net use. It is a virtual card. You get Emailed the card
details. You do not receive a physical card through snail mail. Thus the
name and address you supply need only match the name and address you have
used when creating your second Pecunix account. Naturally, this is the
same address you must use when using your card to subscribe to a Web site.
But this name and address is your choice! If in the United States, the

Zip code must match your choice of address. But so far as I can tell,
that is the only check that is made. Just take an address out of the
phone book, but change the name and house number.

Of course the Email address you offer, must be accurate, secure and most
importantly, anonymous.

55. Are there any disadvantages to this type of card?

Cost. For example a 200 US Dollar card will cost you 255 US Dollars, a
1000 Dollar card will cost you 1160 Dollars. It has a limited life span.
At the end of that period any funds remaining are lost. It can only be
used for Web purchases. Refunds for any reason are not put back onto the
card. They are lost for ever. So be sure you know what you are paying for
before you spend it!

Its truly big advantage is it can be purchased anonymously. No online
identity checks or credit checks and no need to offer a genuine postal

address.

But be certain to use an accurate and anonymous Email address.

56. What about funding my Pecunix account?

This can be a disadvantage if you choose a market maker unwisely. Some
will want to identify you as per the latest Government homeland security
bills. However, if you choose an Asian market maker, you can pay

directly into one of their branches with a fake identity. Remember this
is your initial Pecunix account. The name you use must be different to
your second account. The second Pecunix account receives its funding by
you transferring money from one account to another. To Pecunix it would
seem as if you were sending money to someone else with no connection with
you. Ensure you setup Firefox to delete all data, including cookies when
you shut down Firefox. In Firefox, Tools > Options > privacy > ensure

"Always clear my private data when I close Firefox" is checked. Whilst
in the options tab, go > Content > uncheck both Java and Javascript boxes.
Always then close Firefox between checking these two Pecunix accounts.

This is probably the single most important item to be meticulous about.

57. What is so bad about Microsoft Internet Explorer?

MSIE is a dangerous program designed by MS to allow remote servers to
access your computer’s registry. Although designed for use by MS to
allow easy updating of the Windows Operating System, this feature could
be used by any site to access your IP address, even your machine ID and
your personal Credit Card details or worse, far worse, your saved
passphrases. This can be done even if you have logged onto a site
through a chain of proxies. In other words Microsoft Internet Explorer

is an absolute no-no as far as anonymity is concerned.

Be wary also of Windows Media Player. It creates a unique ID number in
the form of a 128-bit GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) which will
uniquely identify your computer to the world at large. It is stored in
the Windows Registry here:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\WindowsMedia\ WMSDK\General\UniqueID

This ID number can be retrieved by any web site through the use of

JavaScript. Hence the reason why it MUST be disabled. The ID number is
called a supercookie because it can be retrieved by any web site. This
supercookie can be retrieved by any site to track you and web sites can
share this information with each other, allowing them to create a
sophisticated profile about your Internet usage. Worse, cookie blockers
cannot block its use!

If it has already been created, then you should delete that key from
your registry, if you know how to access your registry. Take care!

The easy way to fix the problem is in Windows Media Player > Tools >
Options > Player. In the "Internet settings" section, uncheck the box
next to "Allow Internet sites to uniquely identify your Player."

Then ensure that Windows Media Player is not enabled at all. To do

this go Start > Settings > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs > Set
Program Access and Defaults > Custom > clear the button for both Real
Player (another bad one) and Windows Media Player and also clear the

button where it says "Enable access to this player" for both of them.

58. Surely all this is totally over the top for the majority of users?

It is certainly over the top for 99 per cent of users for 99 per cent of
the time. If, however, you are the one in a hundredth and you do not
much like the idea of being at risk for 1 per cent of the time, then no,

it is not over the top at all.

In any case, using these tactics helps create smoke which in turn helps
protect those who really do need all the protection and security they
can get.

Remember this Faq is intended to help many different people. Some may
be living in deprived conditions, in countries where human rights abuses
are a daily fact of life.

59. What about backing up my Data?

Create another encrypted container using TrueCrypt on an external hard
drive. Open this partition and copy some innocuous data from your
normal plaintext drive. Now close this container and create a hidden
container, following the instructions in the documentation that comes
with TrueCrypt. Now copy all your secret data across into this secret
container. If you have kept all your data within your VMWare virtual

machine desktop, then you should either import the machine into this
hidden volume, or simply copy the whole folder into the volume.

Restoring is just as simple. Just open the secret container and copy
into your TrueCrypt partition.

60. Are there any other hints?

A few items that may be of interest if you run Windows XP, although not

of any value as snoop protection. To make your system run faster do
this: Right-click on the Start menu button > Properties > Start
Menu > Classic Start menu > Customize > Advanced Start > scroll down to

"Show Small Icons in Start menu" and uncheck the box. Click OK, again
OK. Now right-click on your Desktop > Properties > Appearance > effects.
Uncheck everything. Click OK in the Display Properties dialog and OK
again. You have just got rid of much of the Windows kludge. It will
run faster and will seem more enthusiastic about everything.

A further small improvement in securing your TrueCrypt drive is to
ensure it is mounted as removable media. Go > Settings > Preferences >
Ensure "Mount volumes as removable media" is checked. This will disable
Write behind disk caching and disable cross drive connected Recycle Bins.

………………………………………….. …………..

I am aware that this Faq has grown over the years and will seem very
daunting to someone new to the Net. My suggestion is to take it one
step at a time. Experiment with PGP. Generate a few keys, test them
out by sending Email to yourself. Only when you understand what you
are doing should you then go on to the next step. I would suggest this

might be by investing in a new hard drive and experiment with encrypting
it using TrueCrypt.

Only then should you try installing VMWare and attempting to create a
virtual machine. Again, take it one step at a time. Do not over-reach
yourself.

Despite my attempts at thoroughness, this Faq still falls woefully
short of a truly comprehensive explanation of all that is required for
true Net privacy and anonymity. Hopefully individuals will take time

to read and learn more as they go along.

My key is on the key servers. This is my key fingerprint:

F463 7DCB C8BD 1924 F34B 8171 C958 C5BB

Remember, anybody can call themselves by my Nic, but there can only
be one key fingerprint like the above - mine. It thus ensures you
are reading a Faq prepared by me and no one else.

I have no objection to anyone hosting a copy of this Faq on their
Website. I only request they ensure it is complete with its PGP
signature.
