Virtual Insanity

I'm having a Steven Tyler moment this morning. But before you go foraging into the undergrowth of bad lip humour --- no, there is nothing wrong/different about them today.

I'd just like to borrow a couple of lines from 'Livin' on the Edge' to sum things up --



In case you just missed the wonderful notice...here it is again in HD...



So how does one react? I know what's going through my head at this moment: three lines from a song by this band called OMC which goes ---

How Bizarre! How Bizarre! How Bizarre!

To top things off, I just received a friend request from the most unlikely source. Let me see, how do I put this? Okay, what if you waltzed into the zoo and stole a chattery Scarlet Macau named Meeku. Why steal? Cause your ethics were accidentally sucked into a threesome while partying on lsd in the pool of scantiliy clad women of Ibiza. Moreover, you have decided to undergo a complete image makeover and the parrot fits the part. Now, since no self-respecting pirate can go around with a parrot called Meeku, you christened him Red Rackham. Arrrrrr!

Even though you decided to flee to the jungles of South America with Red Rackham you never counted on the zoo keeper actually being an Amazonian woman. So inevitably you find yourself flat on your back, tongue sticking out at right angles with a blow dart sticking out of your arse and in the dappled light of the forest you can vaguely make out a semi-naked woman (It sounds so much better with the word naked, no?) approaching while yelling, "Meeku! Meekuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!". You smile a weak smile as your preservatory instincts kick in, not because you think you can see up her leafy skirt.

The zoo keeper is not particularly pleased when she discovers that you have renamed her beloved 'Meeku', Red Rackham. She makes her displeasure know in a low, menacing growl and then vanishes into the woods. In the ordinary world, you wouldn't be expecting a Christmas card from her, would you? Well, one must say that stranger things have happened on Facebook!



Till later.

So that's why the videos kept disappearing from the L.E.Ba.Ba. fan page??!!

Yeah. Must be. But they should have informed us if they were doing so. This is, quite frankly, not done. Anyway, this basically means that Facebook will be shooting themselves in the foot as I will upload the videos to Vimeo. It was not like I was advertising Elvis with the video they removed, in fact, I don't even mention the artist anywhere. Idiots!
