That is just so sick.
First ? Probably not.

You know, I have one simple request. And that is to have sharks with frickin' laser beams attached to their heads! Now evidently my cycloptic colleague informs me that that cannot be done. Ah, would you remind me what I pay you people for, honestly? Throw me a bone here! What do we have?

Maybe we could get him to run into a transformer.
Posted by: Texas | March 27, 2007 at 02:35 PM
Do you think he'll be holding the hand of a small 10 foot robot, maybe handing it Jesus juice?

Would the sharks be surrounding Jacko? It would be cook if they would jump up and laser/taser him periodically......

So this explains why I saw adds for a new baby sitting service when I was in Vegas a few months ago.

Man, somebody's been hitting the marketing crack hard this morning.
Posted by: Clean Hands | March 27, 2007 at 02:43 PM
YAY!!
hehe....they said erected.
Posted by: Siouxie | March 27, 2007 at 02:44 PM
They neglected to say that the statue will be situated in front of the new headquarters of NAMBLA
Posted by: Esther | March 27, 2007 at 02:44 PM
**snork @ NAMBLA**
Oh, NT - you poor, poor dear! I really don't want her to have to wake up to this news....

I feel for Tammy...
Nevada has borrowed the Weirdness Magnet from us.

The only thing worse would be a giant statue of Paris Hilton.

I'm sorry, did someone just describe him as grounded? *walks away trying to wrap her mind around that thought*

JACKOMANDIAS
I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said:—Two vast and hairless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them on the sand,
Half sunk, a shatter'd visage lies, whose brow
And pursed lip and weirdly glov-ed hand
Tell that its sculptor well those oddities read
Which yet survive, stamp'd on these lifeless things,
The hand that rock'd them and the eyes so dead.
And on the pedestal these words appear:
"My name is Jackomandias, king of songs, was an odd man:
Look how I moonwalked, ye mighty, my nose square!"
Nothing beside remains: round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,
The lone and level sands stretch far away.

Let's see...
50 feet tall robotic Michael Jackson - with lasers.
You know, if they'd put these things along our border it would solve everything.
Posted by: KCSteve | March 27, 2007 at 03:59 PM
Meanie, that was brilliant!!
Posted by: Siouxie | March 27, 2007 at 04:00 PM
So, is this thing going to be male or female, white or black, nosed or noseless??
Posted by: Flash | March 27, 2007 at 04:09 PM
This on the heels of the Hasselhoff news
*sigh*

"It would be in the desert sands. Laser beams would shoot out of it so it would be the first thing people flying would see.
Nooooooo! (Likely flying there this summer. Flying's gonna be bad enough. I already told my husband he'd probably never get me on a plane again once we get home.)
Posted by: Glix | March 27, 2007 at 05:26 PM
feel for you Glix, Since moving here I have had to land at McCarran 7 times and 5 of them ended with the pilot applying the brakes so hard that things flew past me in the aisle.I don't know why.
Posted by: Gadfly | March 27, 2007 at 05:33 PM
Is "here" Las Vegas? I would be coming out of DFW, if that matters (Wait, maybe I shouldn't mention that. I think someone mentioning that one time brought out a lot of repressed memories for people here once.)
Posted by: Glix | March 27, 2007 at 05:41 PM
Meanie- brilliant!!! We are not worthy!
Siouxie- Yay!!
I'll try, too, but Meanie is the master
Apologies to Coleridge
Near Xanadu, did Jacko-Khan
A stately pleasure-dome decree,
To NAMBLA depraved sinners fled
By brothels measureless to man,
Down to a sunless Sea
Posted by: diverdowndoc | March 27, 2007 at 06:06 PM
Glix - totally with you on the flying thing. Get a prescription for Xanax and start taking it the day before so you don't ratchet your stress levels up. It's the only time I ever take the stuff and it works.
Posted by: marfie | March 27, 2007 at 06:42 PM
Yeah Glix, "here" is vegas. I don't think it matters where you come from, They just seem to be in an awful hurry to stop.
Posted by: Gadfly | March 27, 2007 at 07:54 PM
ddd! that was great!
Posted by: Siouxie | March 27, 2007 at 08:39 PM
Jacko was a man who thought he was a singer
But he knew it wouldn't last.
Jacko left his home in LA, California
For a gig in Las Vegas.
Get back, get back.
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back.
Get back to where you once belonged.
Get back Jacko. Go home
Get back, get back.
Back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back.
Back to where you once belonged.
Get back Jacko.
Creepy Michael Jackson looks kinda like a woman
But his mother says he is a man
All his loyal fans say he's the second coming
But only when he's in Japan
Get back, get back.
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back.
Get back to where you once belonged.
Get back Michael. Go home
Get back, get back.
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back.
Get back to where you once belonged.
Get back Michael
Your sister's waiting for you
Wearing her matching nosejob
And her malfunctioning wardrobe
Get on home Michael
Get back, get back.
Get back to where you once belonged.

YAY, Siouxie!
*applause* for Meanie, ddd, and marfie!
Posted by: Just Ducky | March 27, 2007 at 09:08 PM
*SNORK* and applause for marfie!!!!
Posted by: Siouxie | March 27, 2007 at 09:11 PM
aw, shucks...
oh, and excellent post, Siouxie!!
Posted by: marfie | March 27, 2007 at 09:14 PM
There once was a man? nicknamed Jack-o
Who everyone thought was a Wack-o
He likes little boys
Now a 50 foot droid
Will stand like a Las Vegas crack-ho
Ok...I blame the wine
Posted by: Siouxie | March 27, 2007 at 09:32 PM
*snork* at "crack-ho"!
Posted by: diverdowndoc | March 27, 2007 at 10:04 PM
Oh, sure...blame those poor, defenseless little fermented grapes. I think you'd better hand over the rest of that bottle before you damage their collective little psyche even more. Hand it over right now, young lady.
*holds hand out towards Siouxie*
Posted by: marfie | March 27, 2007 at 10:05 PM
*hands over the empty wine box to marfie*
whoops...
Posted by: Siouxie | March 27, 2007 at 10:25 PM
Oh, clever - VERY clever...
Posted by: marfie | March 27, 2007 at 10:30 PM
*toddles off to get a bowl of Bud's Kona Chip ice cream*
Posted by: marfie | March 27, 2007 at 10:45 PM
I think Shelley, Coleridge and Lennon must all be doing a fair amount of squirming up in the hereafter. Hopefully, they'll blame Jackson, not us.
*SNORKs@ ddd, Marfie & Siouxie!*

MtB - catching up on my blog reading this morning before work and caught your homage to Mr Shelley and Ozymandius. beautifully done, yet very scary.
Posted by: wickedwitch | March 28, 2007 at 07:50 AM
Thanks, ww. What's scariest is that I had to change about only ten words to make the original poem fit the posted story. "Ozymandius" was about as ready-made for that situation as it can get.
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | March 28, 2007 at 08:40 AM
OMG I thought the 100 foot picture of Manilow on the Las Vegas Hilton was scary.
