Celebrate This!
OK, despite the appearance of the link at the bottom of this post, this is not a political post. Of course, what you do with said link, I wash my hands of that.
{*scrub* *scrub*}
One of the most ancient and funnest games on the internet is posting links that aren’t quite what they seem, tricking folks into clicking on them to their immediate surprise or regret. These days the cool kids seem to be calling this a “rickroll” — apparently there’s a YouTube music video by Rick somebody that’s been a frequent destination of misleading linkage lately. I’m an old fart, I remember when Goatse.cx and Tubgirl were all the rage. These things are timeless; I’m sure there’s somebody out there who remembers clicking a falsely-described link in their Mosaic browser to some ASCII penis art with ejaculating semi-colons.
With all that talk to serve as your warning, and with you bearing in mind the sorts of things ErosBlog routinely links to, here’s an Erosblog-Approved destination:

Having seen “Goatse” many years ago, and having been feline in some past life (Curiosity having killed the cat, and all that…), I had to know what “Tubgirl” was about. I’m a big boy now after all..
Suffice it say, all you other curious surfers out there, first I shook my first in the air and shouted “BACCHHUUUS” (ala Captain Kirk shouting “KHAAANNNN”, in “Star Trek II, The Wrath of Khan”), then I immediately squeegeed my monitor screen, sprayed it with Clorox and Lysol, ordered a month’s supply of Dramamine from my pharmacist, and am now soaking my eyeballs in turpentine, and trying to figure out how to scrub each and every individual brain cell… Hmm… Maybe hypnotherapy…??
After THAT, the Celebrate Bush! link was literally a sight for sore eyes… B.T.W., Thanks for the unguent!
Haha, I’ve been Rick Rolled plenty of times until I learned the youtube web address. It’s up to over 6 million hits.
I think Bush winked at me.
Sorry…
Ah yes, Rickroll. The joke itself is getting rather old, but I find that its use in a particularly clever post can still make me snort tea up my nose.
Also…”celebrate bush” made me smile.
Dr. Whiplash: As my gang and I like to say: “I need a handi-wipe for my brain!” That and the ever popular “Can you please just pour bleach in my ear?”
I must be too young to know these references, but I certainly have been tricked into visiting the mesmerizing Meatspin or the rather less mesmerizing Lemon Party . . . there is something fun about those sort of things, isn’t there?
