FILLER: Hug your friends and cooperation!
This is going to need some explanation. Ahem.
My friend, the fabulous Melissa, has this Eggroll, see. I usually capitalize his name when I say it, I’m not sure if his name really is capitalized, though. So, there’s Eggroll, and he has a MySpace page, and he has become inexplicably social. People have been friending him left and right. It is weird, and it is exciting.
So a few months ago, I says to her, I says, “Hey, you just might have the next big Internet meme here.” And so we got to talking about how to accomplish the feat of seating Eggroll alongside greats like All Your Base and Goatse. In the inevitable anthropomorphicization of the Eggroll, one of us, I don’t remember who, commented, in jest, that Eggroll was very thoughtful, and it immediately clicked with me that the sentence, “Eggroll is very thoughtful,” sounds like the name of a children’s book.
The plan for a while has been for me to write it and for her to illustrate it, and I believe I have at long last come up with a suitable manuscript. Slap in some placeholder art, and boom, we have the rough draft of the book that will propel Eggroll to stardom! Moxie!
I would like to apologize at this time to my readers for linking to MySpace. I don’t care for it either.
CURRENT MOOD: Dynamo
