Vampire Movies

It seems that “You are what you eat” could have an extension–“You are what you watch”–as well.  After watching just one vampire movie on TV, The Princess Buttercup (brown, top) couldn’t get the concept out of her mind . . .

N.B. No real animals were harmed or killed during the production of this AGR.

Identity Crisis

The girls decided that they were facing an identity crisis– they weren’t blue enough to be left wing or red enough to be right wing, they didn’t like the “Rhino” tag at all or being associated with a children’s program’s  squishy, fuzzy dinosaur, and they weren’t interested in promoting the Prince “Purple Rain” CD.  Maybe they could start a reality show and be the Kardashians of the flower world–famous for being famous . . .

Fish Dance Lessons

Seymour (bottom) had to admit it, the fish dancing lessons were not going well.  His friends told him they couldn’t tell if he was doing the Tennessee Waltz, the Watusi, the Locomotion or the Swan Dance from Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake Ballet . . .

Heard it Through the Grapevine

Twyla Jean said there was nothing she hated more than gossip, but she rationalized that if she “Heard It Through The Grapevine,” somehow that was different.  Especially if she hummed the Marvin Gaye tune of the same name and ended with a reverent “Mmm…Mmm”…

A Tattoo?

Elton (pictured) was well educated; he had a degree in Political Science from the University of Phoenix (on line); he knew the words to all of the Lady GaGa songs, and he did quite well with them at Karaoke night. But he was a flop with chicks–he couldn’t get a date to save his life. He wondered if getting a tattoo might help as part of an extreme makeover. . .

Tango, Not Tangle

Guido, like many New Yorkers, thought communication was talking and didn’t give much thought to the listening part.  As a result, he thought his girlfriend had said “tangle,” not “Tango,” when suggesting dance lessons.  Turns out she thought real lessons, not YouTube videos, might be helpful as well . . .
