My balls and my word

Last week I found this cute little critter in the market, staring at me, & I couldn't say no:




MIGHTY MOUSE!!


He already smacked my cat for messing with him.

When I was little, I had to watch Mighty Mouse. My mom would wake me up, bring me milk & a dusty doughtnut (from those boxes with three kinds, the plain, white, & dusty ones), & I would watch Mighty Mouse from the comfortable confines of my crib. Sometimes she would see me sleeping all cute & cuddly & wouldn't want to wake me up, but I would get mad at her if I wasn't awakened for the viewing. When my oldest brother drew Mighty Mouse for me one day in our dining room, I knew I'd grow up to be an artist. Mighty Mouse means a whole lot to me.




MIGHTY MOUSE!!


I don't remember ever saying why I loved Mighty Mouse so much, so it's hard to put into words. The show was exciting, & Mighty Mouse is the best. He's mighty. He always saved the ladies. He was this tiny little mouse, beating up all the big bad guys. You can't go wrong with that formula. Everyone says Mighty Mouse is arrogant, but I think they're just jealous.

I've never read the comics but I hope to be able to one day. I've also never considered collecting any Mighty Mouse memorabilia, I thought my unconditional love was enough. Even though it is, he matches my room POIFEKLEE (not to mention my LJ & also my country's flag) so I'm going to start. He not only matches color-wise, but also spirit-wise, as Sevilla FC are a Mighty Mouse of footbol in their own rite & so am I). Love, love, love, love.

For those of you Apple users out there, you can get your own Mighty Mouse for use with your computer:




MIGHTY MOUSE!!

Slowpoke Rodriguez


I asked someone today if they knew Slowpoke Rodriguez. They said no. I said what? But then thought about it, I suppose he's not such a famous guy, but he's a hell of a guy nonetheless. He's my favorite Looney Tunes character, and cousin of the over-rated Speedy Gonzalez (but damn does he look hot with that gold toof). He carries a .38 and is the slowest mouse in all of Mejico.

I first saw him one time when my parents dragged me like a broke chicken to the sticks in the middle of Pennsylvania to either drop off or visit my sister Macarena who decided to go to college in a little American town in the middle of American nowhere. I was a kid, and absolutely hated it. I just wanted to stay home with my one-strap-down overalls and do whatever it is I did at the time. But no, I had to be taken hostage and transferred, like always. (I would probably absolutely love it now ... ROAD TRIP!)

But one time in the hotel room, possibly during the time my mother kept saying she absolutely had to watch the news at 6 o'clock and my dad was going crazy trying to tell her that the hotel had cable (something unknown to our family at the time), she could watch the news whenever she felt like it, I discovered the wonder that is Slowpoke Rodriguez. He lived in a cactus, and I really can't remember what the cartoon was about, just his accent and how slow he was. My mother and I could not stop laughing, this was such a great concept. We joked about him long afterwards. And even though it's fun to make fun of Mexicans, I always carry a bit of Slowpoke in my heart, as I saw a lot of myself in him, and still do, although I'm not a fan of Mexican weed like he is, as it burned my throat and made it bleed.

After Cartoon Network acquired the rights to Speedy Gonzalez cartoons, they deemed them racist and refused to show them. Then Mexicans were like, hey we want Speedy, he's a good role model (oh dear, so many jokes coming to mind, must. not. give. in.) So I suppose everyone thinks Slowpoke is a bad example of a Mexican. Well, he's the best example! Give us Slowpoke!

Here's to Slowpoke. I'm witchoo, mang.

P.S. I FOUND HIM!!!!
