Today’s Music: Rupert Holmes – Escape
Note on Today’s Music: Because I know he hates this song. hehehe.
(if you’re wondering what’s going on, check here.)
Many of you follow the refreshingly bizarre Edward Hotspur. So you already know he has a thing for Unicorns pissing rainbows. Here’s why. Sorry Hotspur, had to borrow your style for this one.
He was sitting around a campfire, enjoying his gassy beans- no wait, he was enjoying beans and then the gas that followed. He’d taken off his riding boots to relax, setting them to warm next to the fire. A unicorn burst into his campsite setting off mayhem among his compatriots.
They ran around in confusion, dodging the uriney torrent of warm rainbow issuing from the unicorn’s nethers. Only Edward kept his head about him. He reached for a boot, still with its spur on.
Billy Joe Bob Mellissa Jr yelled “You can’t drive off a unicorn with spurs!”
“You can when they’re red hot!” shouted back Edward. He took the boot from the fire, and jammed the red hot spur into an engorged opalescent unicorn testicle.
The unicorn turned bright red, squeaked, and darted off into the woods to find some bactine.
And that’s why he’s known as Edward Hotspur.
True story.
Now let’s take a musical break, from someone I was recently introduced to by Mr. Hotspur.
This is Miyavi. He is the hottest chick I’ve seen in a while. (Yes, it’s a guy.)
Scenes From The End Of The Post
I’m writing this at my desk as the sun streams through the windows. You’d think it would be wetter if it was streaming. Unless you’re streaming porn. That could be wet. Unless it’s home improvement porn. Lots of sandpaper. Probably not so wet.
Hold on, boss wants me to do something. Ok, I did something. I told him I wasn’t going to do it. That’s something, right? Might be the last something I do here, but still.
So where was I? Oh, at my desk. So it’s where I am. Can you have been somewhere and say you were there if you’re still there without having been gone anywhere?
Wait – My brain hurts.. I have to stop channelling Edward Hotspur, today’s flashmob victim honoree before my head explodes.
You should check him out. It’s like no other blog you’ve seen.
Rock on Hotspur, and keep on blogging!
Oh, and buy His Book
In closing, I would just like to say…
Salma Hayek.

Well done. There’s so much to like in this post. I positioned the page so the unicorn pic remained visible as I watched the video. That really added a lot to the experience. The story left me with a new appreciation for camping, which we’re strangely skipping this year since we got a house near the beach for for a whole week for free. Unicorns visit beaches, too, right?
Thanks for the Selma Hayek coda at the end or I’d seriously be questioning my sexual identity right now. Whew. Close one.

Relax. Miyavi is married to a Japanese pop star (Melody), and they have two kids. And you have to admit, that song sounded like if Willie Dixon had been Japanese.

You should definitely check out the Hotspurs site, shoutabyss.
And unicorns love beaches! Just keep that campfire hot. Just in case.
Salma is there at the end, as a palate cleanser. I just have to ask though – was it the Rupert Holmes or the Miyavi that made you question? 😉

I literally laughed out loud. Not the figurative LOL that you find or type when something is mildly amusing, but literally, like, making noise to indicate that something was a combination of amusing and humorous enough to tip the noise factor to the ‘on’ position, thus producing a sound that humans have come to associate with pleasure and/or entertainment and/or Steve Byrne, who is a comedian who actually evokes this sound in other people for a living, that is to say, people pay him to make them laugh – while I attempt to do it for free.
That was a pretty good summation of my blog, Guap. It had Salma Hayek, a hot chick (Salma Hayek), Japanese music, my gravatar….
Oh yeah, I’ll be updating that pretty soon. The enormous lilies in the center of the front bed, while reaching their customary 5 foot tall height – seriously – have decided to produce not three flower clusters, but NINE. I don’t know what’s going on with them, but I’ve literally never seen larger Asiatic lilies than those. I don’t think I’ve seen any flower that tall in my entire life, other than climbing vines and, you know, trees.

Actual laughter from you is the best I could have hoped for on this one, Hotspur.

I stayed away from the poetry/lyrics. Not sure I could spoof those – especially not the more serious ones.

It must have already been there, because I’ve had several plants die. Oddly, I’ve had perennials die after 4 years of being alive – like my hibiscuses, and a Japanese maple! – but I’ve also had not one, but TWO purple queens come back, and those are supposed to be annuals!
