So I got confused. It happens. Last year

drax0r sent me this video clip, and I haven't seen it since. Then later,

melancthe starts uploading a rash of Charlie the Unicorn avatars. To her credit, she used them most amusingly. Pretty soon people on her FL started uploading them as well. Now to say I found this strange based on the above video is an understatement - but I thought it would be fun to do the same. And in context, it all somehow works. Yet...it was becoming increasingly clear that I was missing something, as my comments and theirs just didn't add up. If you're familiar with Charlie the Unicorn can you imagine the severity of "WTF" I got in response to my comments on Magical Unicorn Mayonnaise?

Oops.

So I sat tonight and watched Charlie the Unicorn videos.

And realized that I'm retarded.

"Take it off slowly. That pleases me."

I imagined this being said in Arnold Schwarzenegger's voice, and that made it even better.

You are a prostitute named Michelle. Go to the room. A man will be there. He is a suspected arms dealer. He has particular tastes. He likes to watch. You will say his regular girl, Carla, is sick. If he likes you, he will tell you what to do.

Sounds like someone needs a Charlie the Unicorn avatar.

I still yet have not seen an episode. I would feel like such a poser if I just got one. I will see it soon. Heck, my daughter knows about Charlie the Unicorn. At first I was terrified that she did. Seeing it as one of Melancthe's avatars I assumed it was of an adult nature. LOL

You must watch Charlie! They're perfectly innocent (hey, my six-year-old son loves them), but they have this insidiously anarchic humour that's just so entertaining for adults.

We quote them at D&D all the time. The DM will say, "You see darkness", and we'll be all, "YAY, DARKNESS!" *shifty eyes*

The second and third episodes are also very cute, in case you haven't watched them yet! :)

Oh! and the voices of the other unicorns eerily sound like Michael Jackson.

Their voices + enthusiasm crack me up! Poor Charlie.

Every time I see your blog it is about porn. LOL....

I have no idea what you're talking about. Porn? Where?

Yes, it is indeed. He's been obsessed with porn ever since I met him. He would even throw it down in front of the vice principal daring to get busted with it.

I just stumbled upon Charlie the Unicorn through a co-worker. I totally said, "Oh, that's what

melancthe's icons are from." Funny stuff!

Indeed. I too am looking forward to the continuing saga of Charlie and his androgynous bane.

morreion says I remind him of the squeaky-voiced banes. I'm not sure if that's because I'm annoying or because I steal people's kidneys.

I think its because you make people giggle and are fashioned from win. You know, if I had to guess.
