PRINCE UPDATE
I just had breakfast with a media source who told me that another media source friend of his was at a big VIP party the other night, and he (the second media source) went into the men's room, and a gigantic man blocked his path and said, quote, "Bathroom is closed." It turned out that Prince was in there. So apparently Prince does not pee without a security perimeter.
This has been your Prince Update.
So it takes a gigantic man to patrol Prince's, ummm, perimeter??? Intriguing...

When they left, was the body guard carrying a step stool?

Oh, and how can I become a "media source"? Can I get my degree online?

*looks through urban dictionary for new definitions of "perimeter"*
Posted by: mm | February 04, 2007 at 11:14 AM
Do you think Prince wipes his own a$$? Or does he have "people" for that?
*must cut down on coffee*
Posted by: Punkin Poo | February 04, 2007 at 11:14 AM
Dave, Could you tell us what you, as a media personality, had for breakfast? Did they have special "Payton Pancakes" or "Urlacher Benedict"?
Posted by: Punkin Poo | February 04, 2007 at 11:20 AM
Okay, I'm done.
The rest of you can come out now.
Posted by: Punkin Poo | February 04, 2007 at 11:21 AM
Security perimeter? That makes it sound like he has realy, really bad aim. (Kinda like the "splash zones" at Sea World.)

Please don't squeeze the Prince Charmin.

*snork* @ Stevie & Punkin
Posted by: mm | February 04, 2007 at 11:24 AM
I peed next to a celebrity in a restroom at a movie theater once. A one-liner came to mind, but I held myself in check.
Posted by: Stevie W | February 04, 2007 at 11:27 AM
didn't want anyone seeing his purple rain.

You know what they say? You can't eat all day if you don't start in the morning! Today, we will be focusing on a special theme, ... no, not horse and bear, but organized around what's in the fridge and the freezer. Apparently, we will be starting with bacon, tomatoes, onions, eggs, and coffee. Lots of coffee.
Punkin' please don't talk about anyone carrying any kind of stool out of the bathroom just yet, 'K?
Posted by: CJrun | February 04, 2007 at 11:33 AM
So you couldn't check out his Super Bowl package?
Posted by: Stevie W | February 04, 2007 at 11:36 AM
Sorry, CJ. Since I owe you one, I'll restrain myself.
Speaking of breakfast specials, though....do you think that restaurant now has "Prince's Sh!t-on-a-shingle" now?
*cj, I'm a baaaaaaaad girl*
Posted by: Punkin Poo | February 04, 2007 at 11:37 AM
and I apologize for my redundant use of "now" again.
Posted by: Punkin Poo | February 04, 2007 at 11:38 AM
And so he should have a bodyguard, by all accounts his royalness is so small, maybe they're scared somebody might shake his head and try to shove him into their pants. Just a thought.
Posted by: Mot the Hoople | February 04, 2007 at 11:45 AM
and who let the sheep into the bathroom (Punkin's post) and why? How did she (the ewe, not Punkin) get past the security perimeter?
Posted by: mm | February 04, 2007 at 11:56 AM
...and the bodyguard said, "Wait for the royal flush."
Posted by: Stevie W | February 04, 2007 at 11:58 AM
mm, she made a ewe turn
Posted by: Mot the Hoople | February 04, 2007 at 12:01 PM
but did he sit on the throne???
Mornin all!!
Posted by: Siouxie | February 04, 2007 at 12:03 PM
'Morning, all! I'll have a cup of whatever Punkin's drinking, minus the sheep.
Wonder if Prince has visited the Netherlands? If so, do you suppose he used one of their nify streetcorner urinals? If so, how many bodyguards would it take to establish a perimeter? And how large would the perimeter be? Inquiring ducks want to know.
Posted by: Just Ducky | February 04, 2007 at 12:04 PM
Oh and assorted *snorks* and LOL's and ewww's...
take your pick!
Posted by: Siouxie | February 04, 2007 at 12:06 PM
I've read that same thing about Madonna, Beyonce and other famous celebrities. It's really carrying elitism to a ridiculous extreme, IMO.
Posted by: Eleanor | February 04, 2007 at 12:07 PM
guess he didn't want anyone looking at his little red corvette...
Posted by: Siouxie | February 04, 2007 at 12:08 PM
or maybe his darling
nickidickie.Posted by: crossgirl | February 04, 2007 at 12:12 PM
Do you suppose he doesn't want his "tinkle" to be heard? Perhaps the recording would be sold on E-bay...
Posted by: mm | February 04, 2007 at 12:19 PM
*ahem*
U don't have 2 be rich
2 use this john
U don't have 2 be cool
Don't get me wrong
I ain't particular and I won't miss

LOL Siouxie!
Posted by: Just Ducky | February 04, 2007 at 12:24 PM
He suffers from urinal stage fright. He's small, ya know?
Posted by: Meditrina | February 04, 2007 at 12:26 PM
LOL thanks Ducky...a very lame attempt ;-)
Posted by: Siouxie | February 04, 2007 at 12:27 PM
He's got his Vanity (6).
Posted by: Leetie | February 04, 2007 at 12:28 PM
Lol, sxi!
*strikes match*
Posted by: Stevie W | February 04, 2007 at 12:28 PM
One of my buddies peed next to David Gergen in the VIP bathroom at the Richard Nixon funeral. Top that.
Posted by: Brad | February 04, 2007 at 12:30 PM
tks, Stevie! ;-)
strike a match?? did Prince leave his stool behind again? sheeesh!
Posted by: Siouxie | February 04, 2007 at 12:31 PM
siouxie that is by far, one of the best blog parodies yet! worthy of even insom.
Posted by: crossgirl | February 04, 2007 at 12:32 PM
Hey, who's in there?
The fartist formally known as Prince.
Posted by: Stevie W | February 04, 2007 at 12:33 PM
I wish I could have a drink of what Punkin's having, but I gotta go back to work tonight. Ducky'll just have to have my share. Ducky, get a designated driver. I'm pretty sure you'll need one, even if it's just to get from room to room in your house, judging by the way Punkin sounds... (if I had more energy, I'd be noticing my english teacher cringing right about now, but I don't so she shall have to suffer in silence)
Please pray for me and my hospital tonight. A lot of staff have called in sick, some with the creeping crud that has laid me low, some with *coughcough superbowlitis* (may they roast for their transgression). When I left, our ER was full, our ICU was full, our stepdown unit was full, there were no beds, people were staying in guerneys in the hallways. We're critically short on staff and beds. For heaven's sake, the house supervisor was working in a patient care capacity last night.
BTW, Go Bears! If they lose, I have to put up with my husband griping about it for all eternity, or until they do win the superbowl, whichever comes first. Note that I am not necessarily an optimist.
Posted by: Nurse Tammy | February 04, 2007 at 12:33 PM
much thanks, cg! I am truly honored.and unworthy...but sometimes this blog inspires even me. ;-)
I say we give him a break people...he's probably been holding it in for a while and wants to potty like it's 1999.
Posted by: Siouxie | February 04, 2007 at 12:36 PM
Good Luck, Tammy!!! don't work too hard!
and lol @ stevie and the fartist...
Posted by: Siouxie | February 04, 2007 at 12:39 PM
Hey NT, Are you over the dreaded lurgi?
Update on my daughter, the bp's back to normal and they're sending her home, we're hoping that nature takes it's course and she carries to full term.
Posted by: Mot the Hoople | February 04, 2007 at 12:39 PM
Will do, NT! Best of luck to you and your hospital; sounds like the situation's desperate!
Posted by: Just Ducky | February 04, 2007 at 12:39 PM
That's great news, Mot. We'll keep our fingers and toes crossed for her. Course, then we can't blog...
ok...ok how about good thoughts then?
Posted by: Siouxie | February 04, 2007 at 12:43 PM
Thoughts and prayers, Mot.
Posted by: Meditrina | February 04, 2007 at 12:47 PM
I wouldn't lose to mauch sleep over Prince in the men's room. All his problems are little ones.
Posted by: Mot the Hoople | February 04, 2007 at 12:47 PM
Yay, Mot! Hope your girl continues to do well!
Posted by: Just Ducky | February 04, 2007 at 12:48 PM
Many thanks to all the blog pals for the positive vibes regarding my daughter.
Posted by: Mot the Hoople | February 04, 2007 at 12:49 PM
sending blessings mot and tammy's way. maybe everyone will wait til tomorrow to flood the hospital, not wanting to miss the game and all. though if memory serves me, anytime large groups gather with alcohol, someone's going to the e/r.

Back from chores, just in time to spew coffee on my latop @ Mot [11:45] and a double Sio *snork!*
Posted by: CJrun | February 04, 2007 at 12:53 PM
chores?!!?? who does chores on a holiday? that's chores with a C, not a W.
Posted by: crossgirl | February 04, 2007 at 12:59 PM
Hi CJ, There was such an outpouring of adoration (and rightly so) after your exploits in Lady Lake your ears must've been burning like hell.
Posted by: Mot the Hoople | February 04, 2007 at 01:01 PM
Whoo Hooo, 1pm on a Sunday! There should be a football game coming on! What? Oh. OK, I'll be rooting for the Bears, NT. I like Tony Dungy, but I have to root for the underbears.
Posted by: CJrun | February 04, 2007 at 01:01 PM
No, Mot, I'm working while still fighting the cold from hell and wearing isolation gear to keep it all to myself. (Totally hate the mask!!!!) (does wearing the mask make me look like Michael Jackson? **Cringes, rocking in corner**)
Posted by: Nurse Tammy | February 04, 2007 at 01:01 PM
Melina Mercouri might have some issues with that statement, cg.
[Geezer alert, geezer alert]
Posted by: Stevie W | February 04, 2007 at 01:02 PM
I'm ready for the game - only five hours to wait....
Oh, this is the Prince thread.
never mind
I am NOT ready for Prince.
*waves hi to Mot* Will you be watching the game?
Posted by: Eleanor | February 04, 2007 at 01:02 PM
Stevie--Never on Sunday?
Posted by: Just Ducky | February 04, 2007 at 01:08 PM
So this guy is Prince's own personal 'Bot?
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | February 04, 2007 at 01:22 PM
Good luck, NT!!!!!!! And isn't it the tail end of a full moon, too? Hopefully the less sick of the sickos will go home to watch the SB.
Mot - So glad your daughter is doing better!
CJ - RELAX and watch a football game or something!
Siouxie - Giant snot-spraying SNORKS to you, my dear!!!
I've got the chili in the crock pot and the bread for the bread bowls in the oven! C'mon over everybody!!!
Posted by: Punkin Poo | February 04, 2007 at 01:24 PM
El, I'd love to watch it but it will be in the early hours of the morning for us. I'll just set the PVR to record it and hope that the radio doesn't broadcast the result during my morning commute.
I'm compiling a list of pastry names for each month of the year which I'll send to you. Use it, lose it, It's up to you.
Posted by: Mot the Hoople | February 04, 2007 at 01:28 PM
I think someone would be entirely justified in returning with a good-sized stick or two good-sized friends and informing the bodyguard that the bathroom was now open if he knew what was good for him.
Posted by: jt | February 04, 2007 at 01:28 PM
So what happens when the bodyguard has to go? Does Prince return the favor? In order to remain in protective custody, does Prince have to go in there with him?
*inquiring minds don't really want to know, but we're just asking anyway*
Posted by: Lisa Bisa Fo Fisa | February 04, 2007 at 01:29 PM
I heard a rumor that since Prince doesn't actually like to be "seen" (in the flesh) his performance will be delivered via holographic display.
Posted by: Lisa Bisa Fo Fisa | February 04, 2007 at 01:34 PM
*snorks* all around
Now (for Punkin'). I ain't pullin' mr happy out in the same time zone as Prince...just sayin'.

I hope he doesn't have to pee during his halftime show. They'll have to evacuate the stadium.
Posted by: Brad | February 04, 2007 at 01:50 PM
I can imagine that the limo driver was idling outside, humming Some day my Prince will come....
Posted by: PirateBoy | February 04, 2007 at 01:57 PM
I eagerly await your correspondence, Mot. :)
Posted by: Eleanor | February 04, 2007 at 03:08 PM
I forgot in all the Super Bowl excitement:
First!
(OK...so it was four hours ago. Jeez...I'm not PERfect...)
Posted by: Betsy | February 04, 2007 at 03:21 PM
They showed a preview that I think might make people forget about Janet Jackson....
Yikes.
Posted by: Steve (The 24 Guy) | February 04, 2007 at 04:51 PM
Isn't Prince star enough to bring his own men's room to various venues with him? If Bono can buy a first-class airline seat for his HAT, I don't see why carting a urinal around with you is out of the question.
Posted by: Mike Antonucci | February 04, 2007 at 05:59 PM
At least he didn't kick a family out of their own home when he did it, Unlike Miss Hilton.
Posted by: Juggler of Geese | February 05, 2007 at 10:45 AM
Was he in the men's room? Really???
