I was of surfing the world of MySpace and we all get “it” that you just have no clue where you are going to end up or what you are going to see (my eyes, my eyes… and if you don’t get the reference, then please just carry on.)
I was flinging my way through pics and music and a picture appears before my eyes and in the background, on the wall, what do my eyes perceive? It is a Jackalope! Now being a native Californian who bought her property in Arizona over 15 years ago, I am very well versed on the lore of the famous Jackalope. I have been to the promised land… Well the Jackalope promised land, but it is a promised land none the less (should that be one word? Ahhh, but I digress) On the I-40 in the absolute middle of upper desert nowhere-ville is an exit for the Jackalope Run, which will take you to the famous (infamous? Almost empty? No one ever stops there?) run down gift shop where you too can own a jackalope head for your wall.
Now the Jackalope lore is famous and I have had many a running joke, story line about them prior to the evil world of the internet where every one thinks they know something about nothing. Sadly, there is a horrid myth out there that the jackalope is a fake. Yes, I too gasped in shock and anger the first time I saw that. For, I have been to the promised land (yes, I am repeating myself, shoot me like the Jackalope that I am).
So, on that sad note, I will allow you all to go back to your regularly scheduled surfing.
