This is an actual song that I sing all the time and people think I made up. Granted, that may be because everything I ever sing in my too perky cheerleader voice sounds like I made it up. Don’t believe me, ask my friend Kim, or see me sing Rage Against the Machine in karaoke.
Point being, the song is real.
*Disclaimer*
What is not real is the scenario below. Although characters and places may seem actual any similarities to the below and any person, living or dead, is clearly a coincidence. This is not a Jamie story
Picture it… It is a dark and cloudy fall night. The wind is whipping through the trees, taking the remainder of the fall leaves with its powerful gusts. I clutch my coat tightly around my bare legs as I walk to my car after a late night reviewing a club. There is a chill in the air, and I cant help but think something ominous must be coming. As I turn into a deserted ally I hear footsteps behind me, my heartbeat quickens, I walk faster. The steps quicken behind me, I run, and just before the perp (clearly I watch a lot of cop shows) can reach out and grab me I turn and throw this (what do you carry it in?) over my head.
Brilliant! The song is real, but the coke machine is not.
Had you fooled didn’t it! What is it you may ask? According to my friend Scott that is the Japanese attempt at warding off muggers.
And I am thinking its kind of awesome.
In MMMP this week we talked about what superpower we would have if we could only use it when we were frustrated and angry. There were some great answers (google girl) but I said I wanted to be a transformer. shape shifter. whatever those geeky people are calling it these days.
No one will ever know. I can picture the mugger now “I was just chasing a girl, but she disappeared. But look at this refreshing coke machine wearing shoes. Foiled Again”
I wanted to be a transformer. Looks like I don’t have to wait, I am turning Japanese, and then I am turning into a coke machine.
