John Mellencamp

John Mellencamp born “John Menstrualcramp” January 13, 1976 in the Slavic country of Indiana to Bruce Springsteen and Johnny Knoxville. He grew up in a pink house on Chestnut Street and has lived his life as a chameleon of sorts. Constantly changing his identity, he has gone from conceptual dance artist “cat-man” to new wave effeminate waif to overweight professional wrestler to rugged American farm-boy and finally, exasperated overworked farmer-man.

Too much Apple pie

This is Everyone's Country

It all started in 1981 when he changed his name from John Menstrualcramp to Johnny Menstrualcramp and finally to Cougar Jones, and stopped wearing his trademark fake fur jumpsuit. This was a relief to his co-workers at the iron foundry.

From 1981-1985 he staged a nationally televised apple pie eating competition with his arch rival Bruce Springsteen Aka “the piano man”. In August of 1985 he released an album entitled Too Much Apple Pie.

This is Our Country

Even though this was during his pro wrestling days, nobody ever really won the competition; unfortunately the real losers were the good people of his native land Indiana who had to endure a sudden outcrop of patriotic vandals who painted unsuspecting homeowners’ houses pink without their consent. In December 1985 after a bitter stalemate in the apple pie contest and dismal sales of his record he changed his name from John Cougar to John Cougar Mellencamp.

With his new found notoriety he decided to give of himself and founded the organisation “Indiana’s Discerning Indigenous Occupational Tradesmen Society” to help simple hard working blue collared folks who have been shafted by the government. It was eventually disbanded when they realized the acronym just wouldn’t work.

Then in 1987 he lost 90 pounds on a Devilled Ham and linguinediet, changed his name from John Tiger Mellencamp to John Mellencamp and bought a dirt farm. He was quoted as saying, “If my name could lose weight then I can too”. From 1987-1998 he worked the farm and lost more weight.

Since 2005 he has tried to go by just “Mellencamp”, the latest rumours are that he plans on changing his name to a unpronounceable symbol resembling “a letter M being eaten by a cougar” and will run for chancellor of Indiana in 2007.

His wife, formally known as Mrs. Cougar, has also changed her name repeatedly in a vain attempt to evade a mob of horny young male Internet geeks with a fascination for older women.

Mellencamp and his wife whose name cannot be written live in a double-wide trailer with four Cornish Rex cats behind Wal-Mart in the ritziest part of Indiana. Neither of them have touched apple pie since 1985.

Music

John, as a child, stumbled upon a guitar one day in his basement. he proceeded to write a song about two loves, Jack, and Diane. Unfortunately for John, shortly after finishing the song, he accidentally had a lobotomy performed upon him by Dr. Phil, rendering him unable to read, write, or comprehend the written word. luckily, he was still left with the ability to play his song, Jack and Diane.

To this day, John Mellencamp is famous for being a musician. People from all over the country travel to see him in concert. his concerts are rumored to be fantastic, but as most Mellencamp fans know, his concerts usually consist of him playing Jack and Diane approxamtely 47 times in a row, because he has no other songs.

Ironically, Jimmy Buffet also shares the same disability as Mellencamp. The only song he can play, however, is Margaritaville.
