Olympic Opening Ceremony is Amazing!

The opening ceremonies of the 2012 Olympics was mindblowing!

If you needed a reminder of all the amazing talent flying out of England, they managed to capture almost everyone!

So cool was the children's hospital number complete with gianormous nightmare character puppets from Peter Pan, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Harry Potter and others. Wonderful to see J.K. Rowling reading the opening of Peter Pan.

All of the numbers were amazing and huge.

I loved the evolution of music. I recognized every artist. Don't know if that shows my age or my pop culture knowledge! They even had the Sex Pistols!

Good luck to all of the athletes!

What is a Jackalope?



http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jackalope

As with most creatures of this ilk, there are many explanations for its evolution into our modern day folklore.

Rumoured to be first discovered in the Western United States, the Jackalope has been spotted in modern times as far north as Ontario.

The common belief is that a Jackalope is the cross between a pygmy deer and a jack rabbit. Of course, there were people who created their own Jackalopes through taxidermy. Hopefully just on roadkill and not live animals a la Human Centipede.

This is a great website for Jackalope Information:

The Jackalope Conspiracy

There are several fantastical tales about the JACKALOPE in these modern times in UNNATURAL TALES OF THE JACKALOPE.

My own story is called, "Running with Jackalopes" and is based on what happens when a lonely woman buys a Jackalope at a garage sale with the intention of giving it to her young nephew.
