Leotard Larry

Sometimes I wish you could spend a few minutes in my head. I mean we have a good time in there. On second thought, maybe it’s best I leave the ‘Keep Out’ sign on the brain room. There are scraps of paper everywhere.

I like to make up my own silly words for songs. I’ve written hits like ‘Once there was a cheeseburger’, set to Golden Slumbers, and Meatstick, inspired by Kelis. I know there are more but it’s 10 o’clock on a Friday. 

So with all these kitchen hits, I was thinking of a stage name. You know, to give Weird Al a run for his curls.

Surprisingly, the name didn’t take long as I thought of things that rhyme with Larry. Well the search should have continued but when I laugh my ass off at myself, I go with it. 

These days, I can’t just keep these gems to myself. I try my internal thoughts out on the kids from time to time and I usually cry laughing when I retell these inner absurdities.

What inspired me to share this particular thought, was listening to Mud by The Road Hammers in the loser cruiser. It has a great base line and hilariously country lyrics that has had our carloads of kids in stitches.

Well, I now pictured Leotard Larry covered in mud, standing in a kitty pool and it was too hilarious to keep to myself. Maybe we’ll call it Crud. The royal we that is.

My step-daughter – who has taken to creating some pretty amazing videos I might ad – made sure to highlight that she was busy for the foreseeable future. Everyone was a big nope, but they all agreed I should write about it tonight so there you have it.

For one night only.
