The first Mombo Club-El Rancho Delux Welcome Back Summer Party in many a moon erupted Saturday night in Gabacho Heights, Colorado, a sprawling Aryan Nations compound just south of Bored Housewives Buttes, under the dark, phallic shadow of Pool Boy Peak.

Held at the palatial manse of Larry and Sheryl Martinez (“Oye, pendejo, make sure you call us ‘the Martins’ while you’re here!” hissed Larry upon our fashionably late arrival), the 2009 MC-ERDWBSP (Geezer Edition) reunited several members of a filthy fraternity that predated National Lampoon’s “Animal House,” which, contrary to popular mythology, was not a comedy but a documentary.

In attendance were the Martins, retired El Rancho jefe Jethro, Mombo Hisself and his wife Kimmie-Boats, Mudbone, Sarah and Charley Ellisonwonderland and of course Your Humble Narrator and the lovely Herself. The part of Fast Eddie was played by a potted plant, but the much-anticipated Dance of the Potato Salad had to be canceled in the absence of Chris Intercoursey, who advised via e-mail that he would be with us in spirit, if not in spirits.

“Say hey to the gang for me,” wrote the alleged writer, who now has something nebulous to do with trains in a northern suburb of San Francisco (yeah, I know, it sounds dirty to me, too). “Tell them I’m here in my back yard, sleeping with the toaster, snoring and blowing chicken feathers out my mouth every time I exhale.”

I was pleased to note that despite the passage of time and kidney stones that I remain the cutest member of the band, a perky Paul backed by a mangy pack of Ringos. Still, Mudbone has a kind of George thing happening (pre-Maharishi) and Mombo evokes John (pre-Mark David Chapman). That would make Larry George Martin, as he arranged the music for the evening, a typical El Rancho party mix of Jerry Jeff Walker, Tom Waits, Parliament-Funkadelic and Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen.

But the annual MC-ERDWBSP was always as much about comedy as it was about music, promiscuity, firearms, substance abuse and encounters with law enforcement, and though we were long on Cheeches and short on Chongs we laughed long and loud, winking to one another as we fraudulently cast absent friends as the stars in the worst of our reminiscences in order to avoid death by spouse (although the tale of Fast Eddie and His Faithful Dog Blowjob the Wonder Pooch remains wholly unexpurgated and unprintable, even on this site).

I snapped a few pix of the gathering, thinking that with journalism circling the bowl I might make a buck or two with the local gendarmes. But the only contraband these elderly maricons were smoking turned out to be a pair of old El Vestido Azul cigars left over from the Clinton administration, and the cops said no sale.

As space is limited here, we’ll put the rest of the pix up on Herself’s Flickr account as soon as I’ve finished Photoshopping everyone’s clothes back on.

Alas, the Ellisonwonderlands are not pictured, as they arrived even later than we did, and Sarah was carrying a great big stick.
