Moon Change, Moon Change, Why Is Everything the Same?
Oh dear, how embarrassing. While I did intend yesterday’s fifth-blogiversary extravaganza post to accurately reflect my private hand-wringing over where to channel my creative energies in the coming year, I didn’t mean to imply that I was balancing on a fence and required encouragement to continue writing here. How did you get the silly idea that I cared what you thought, anyway? Ha ha. Seriously, I thought the last line indicated clearly enough that the Hippo and the chupacabra had reestablished their mystical hold over me, and I’d be around for another twelvemonth at least. That shows what I know. I was stunned and extremely touched when the laudatory comments started coming in. How am I supposed to be my usual caustic self when people are saying nice things about me? The power of the chupacabra extends only so far.
Oh, who am I kidding? The chubacabra is infinite. It is the Beyonder of cryptozoology. As soon as I finish typing here, I’m going to petition it to banish the half-moth half-mosquito chimera that is fluttering around my office, as well as Shrödinger's Tarantula, which I trapped underneath a pencil cup last week and now lingers in an uncertain limbo between life and death. Keeping me evil in the face of goodness should not be a problem; the chupacabra has also endorsed Dick Cheney.

Um, okay. I'm not sure what to say, but at least you're still here. I can rest easy, knowing that I still have a place to get my chupacabra fix.

Who is nerdier, the person who makes the Beyonder reference, or the person who gets it?

Alas, I am humbled. Never will I doubt your encyclopedic knowledge of and only will I leave nut-free delights for chupacabra. Even if endorsing Republicans.

just thinking about the immigration situation tonight. Is the chupacabra an illegal alien?
Well thank God you're staying with us! I was going to reply to yesterday's entry but already knew you would not listen. You willful thing you! Pobrechupacabrito.
I admit I had to Wiki the Beyonder reference. It says his final resting place is an underground sanctum beneath the Colorado Rockies. I wonder if it's within a few hour's drive from Denver? Road trip! Bring Chupie. I promise not to feed him my nuts.

And let's not forget Karl Rove. Or is HE actually the Chupcablahblah?!! ;)

Jess: And the chupacabra still has a place to get his Jess fix.
Jwer: The answer will be you, no matter where you fall in the equation.
Signalite: Well, they sort of eat goats. I mean, it's not rocket science.
Jeffrey Hood: Why are you thinking about the immigration situation? You're not one of those Minutemen nutjobs, are you? Well, let's just say if you were, you might just see the chupacabra coming at you from across the desert. Or maybe you wouldn't see him until it was too late.
Schaeffer: I suppose that's true. I forgot about that. I remember something about the Invisible Woman and Phoenix being there at the end. And Captain America. And Wolverine. But nary a chupacabra in sight.
TigerYogi: Bite your tongue. Oh, wait, Dick Cheney will do it for you.

Uh huh. In that case, are you sure you want to run such a very close second?
