Sock and Snail won their second Cagematch last night, over some Hare Krishnas who were into comic books or something. Snail/I blew his/her/my wad on the two totally tasteless jokes at Sock's expense that I had in my pocket. The first one was that Sock's mother was famous for being on the cover of a certain Red Hot Chili Peppers album. And that if Sock didn't knock off his bullshit, that Snail was going to give him away to a teenage boy. "Y-E-L-L-O-W!" That one got a HUGE laugh and I suspect secured the puppets' second victory.
Sock and Snail also enjoyed a rousing rendition of Journey's "Snail in the Sky" and Sock exclaimed, "Say it loud! I'm a sock and I'm proud!"
Sock will be in West Virginia next weekend at the annual World Hosiery Forum, sponsored by Snuggle. Snail will be inviting some puppet friends to join him for next Friday's third crushing victory over whomever.
Never underestimate the power of puppets! Snail managed to hijack an entire conversation last night just by being on my hand and nodding his snaily head. There was this jarring silence--all eyes were trained on the puppet. Snail and I didn't mean to hijack. Sorry. Snail also brings out the best and the worst in people, I have found. While most people enjoy talking to/playing with Snail and this he's damn cute, he brings out in other's their inner sniveling asshole. Some associates of mine dropped a few notches on my mental totem pole for responding poorly to Snail. Some people see puppets and walk away or turn aggro and try to hurt the puppets, which is so not cool. While I am loathe to remind myself that the puppet is not actually a free agent, I am a bit baffled as to why someone would take pleasure in pummeling my hand/beating Snail in the face.
Says Snail, "I'm a theatrical tool, assfuck. And damn cute, too!"
Y'all have been warned. SNAIL RULES.
