Karen's notes: Adam and I have this debate many mornings about which quote to post on the Facebook fan page. I always love the bizarre ones, particularly those involving animals. Adam is generally better at predicting what the Facebook fans will enjoy.
Today, he's pushing for sparkly world, but I'm a fan of Mr. Latino Octopus at the dance-off. I mean, come on, doesn't that bring up the most fabulous image of a super-suave octopus with a big black moustache and snappy shoes on each of his eight tentacle-feet?
Ah well, I trust his judgment, since— in this— he's usually right and I'm usually wrong (yes, Adam, it happens occasionally, don't get used to it).
Merch update: "If Jesus loves me" is in the shops!
I love it all. :) The sparkly world is kind of a nice inspirational thought. Maybe Adam is convincing STM to have a brighter outlook on life sometimes?
ReplyDeleteI love these ones today! The sparkly one pretty much sums up how ive been feeling lately.
ReplyDeleteOh and so does the asshole one ;)
"Sparkly" may just become my new e-mail signature. "Mr. Latino Octopus" needs a drawing. "Be nice" must become a coffee mug. "The revolution" requires a petition to the BBC. Best night ever - I'll be smiling all day.
ReplyDeletehe wins, definitely sparkly xxx
ReplyDeleteThe sparkly one is too Twilight for me, I prefer the octopus!
ReplyDeletewow what a hilarious night!! I especially love the 3rd one, too funny!
ReplyDeleteSparkly world is just delightful. Inspirational. I think I should start carrying glitter in my handbag, fer sher. (I already wear glitter toenail polish, on general principle.)
ReplyDeleteCan you do the sparkly one as a t-shirt, but it would need glitter paint!! :-D
ReplyDeletePost them both! But I agree with the comment about the octopus needing a drawing. I can see it right now.
ReplyDeleteI went straight for the octopus, much more giggle inducing!
ReplyDeleteNot enough sparkles in the world?? Just add UNICORNS!! ^_^
ReplyDeletesorry - I prefer the sparkly one to the octopus. (I mean, can anyone REALLY win a dance off with an octopus?) also love the nice day one.
ReplyDeleteLatino Octopus is my fave by a long shot.
ReplyDeleteSuper-suave octopus = Sir Roger Moore
ReplyDeleteI have been reading this blog every morning for a few months now. Thanks for all the laughter. Now go get that entire sparkly phrase on a shirt! Please? Pretty please? (Maybe with some shiny or glittery lettering?) Would it help if I allowed any animal to join us for tea? - Laurianna
ReplyDeletei love the 'revolution will not be televised on the bbc' comment! yupee! im a journalist in venezuela and i get sick of the lies on the bbc about venezuela (seriously it can really hurt and make u angry when the media straight out lies, exagerates, distorts etc about ur country)
ReplyDeleteon that- ole is spain not latino :)
the glitter one is awesome too

(ps. karen, i got you in writing now!! i am RIGHT HAHAHAHAHA (manic laughter!)- adam
ReplyDeleteI absolutely enjoy reading this blog every morning! I loved all of them this morning. I especially think it is great that you two take the time to read and reply directly to your fans on here! I look forward to this every morning. And if I have had an especially hard day, I come back for more just to make my day more sparkly!!!! Love it!
ReplyDeleteMr. Latino Octopus might just possibly be wearing a sparkly dance outfit. It's certainly within the realm of possibility.
ReplyDeleteI read every day as well (It normally gets put up about 3pm Aus time) so Im glad Im not alone :P
ReplyDeleteI like them all. :D I giggled at the "oooh! wobbly!" comment at the end of the BBC one. ;)
ReplyDeleteI like the octopus one better!
ReplyDeleteSorry Karen, but the sparkly one wins for me too! Love it all, though.
ReplyDeleteI also read daily. I love the Latino Octopus. It makes me think of Dancing with the Stars.
ReplyDeleteI knew the "Jesus" one would end up on a T-shirt!
ReplyDeletei was going to ask you if i could write the sparkly one in my facebook status. with a ~ Sleep Talkin Man...after i wrote it. ??
ReplyDeleteI have indeed taken note, Adam, and be it known that ALL God's creatures deserve tea! And a scone or two... and a biscuit perhaps... and cannabis! Ah... Cannabis!
ReplyDeleteSparkly. Yes. Sparkly.
ReplyDeleteYou were both right this time! Love this blog!
ReplyDeleteAb-so-lute-ly loving the Glitter quote.
ReplyDeleteI have no reason to believe these posts are not from a sleeping man. It amuses me to believe they are. And even if they weren't I'd still be amused. I also have better things to do then worry about it either way anyway. Sounds like somebody needs a few extra sparklys, so here's a few for everyone here. Swooshy woofy phew
ReplyDeleteI love the have a nice fucking day myself :-)
ReplyDeletebut the other ones are nice too ;-)
Sorry, Adam, I'm with Karen. Absolutely LOVE the octopus!
ReplyDeleteNow the truth is out: Sleep Talkin' man loves the Twilight movies
ReplyDeleteYou heard it here, folks - heartfelt, *unsolicited* testimonials from satisfied customers! Now YOU can be the envy of everyone on the dance floor with MR. LATINO OCTOPUS™!! The tango - the merengue - salsa and samba: MR. LATINO OCTOPUS™ knows ALL the steps!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd that's not all! Order NOW, and you can get "Crusty Mae", the WESTERN SWING LOBSTER™, for NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE!!!
Call 1- 800 - SENOR-OCTO (operators are standing by) 7@=Q
I'm not dancing with an octopus, LW/wts. I'm sorry, but... just... NO! I just won't! I damn sure won't pay for the experience, which if experienced at all, will be over my most strenuous objections.
ReplyDeleteI won't dance with the lobster either! Let the world trip as it may, but I'll have nothing of it! I wish to be envied by no one, especially the sorts of individuals who would consider dancing with a large crustacean to be informed decision! They have their place in the world, and they're welcome to it! Fortunately, for all involved, I live nowhere near it!
You don't have operators standing by either! No one answered! NO ONE!!!!!
The sparkly one made me immediately think he is secretly watching Twilight.
ReplyDeletenow on the other hand, in a street party of the costumed kind, that would be the experience to recall and mesmerise from the future lookin' back, watchin' your back, stabbin' your back with the crazy experience so silly, one could say...a rousing oceanic themed day of celebra from that hallowed weened day in Octoberfestival of seeing things seasonally.
ReplyDeleteThis dancer at heart will join'in with that glitteron glittery outfit as normal linedance attire to blend in with the hilarity of it all...sea, sun, fun and fashioned on a runway open to the public close to a mardigras in the neck of the woods, a toosummed up day event where we let loose from the stresses and let down the tresses to a celebration of all things we sea and sail away for a short stince and free to be you and me in a planned event worth lookin'glassed forward to too good to pass up, 2 danced by 2 by 4 by 6 by ate...that was greatbait...sideliner welcomes to realin the occaision; dance what you feel, besides, swaying with the breeze is bendy followed by a dance linned in the crowd of wobblin' to 'I Got A Feeling -gotgotgotgot-
BEPEA'd to close it down with... hippy hippy shakeshake amongst the danceoffs all abouts the venue, a seaing is believing where the nightzzz gonna be a good night, let’s live it up, lets paint the town (paint the town), we’ll shut it down (shut it down)...Lets 'burn' the roof and then we’ll do it again...heel, toe, stepstep, step on step...spin'inturn, heal it again...the sound of musique to our ears and a takeaway journey for a day, a nice revelation; soo, break a leg and sweg it up. . . .up,up,up,up...glitzed, blitzed
...in a good way! oh, nice.
If Adam is referring to a Gorrilaz song in the "revolution shall be televised" i love him even more than i already do.
ReplyDeletePlease put the sparkly comment on a women's t-shirt - the missus loves it!
ReplyDeleteWe have that song on the Lara Croft Tomb Raider soundtrack. Good song. Better than Latino Octopuses (though I prefer them to sparkly-ness).
ReplyDeleteCertainly the octopus! That would make a great shirt. It would need an octopus in the stereotypical hat with a rose in its mouth (moved higher up to see it) with a blur for legs. Yes. I would want that shirt.
ReplyDeleteThoroughly enjoyed today´s.
