Floreat Escapeons!

Today I ask you to join me in celebrating Donn Coppens of Whatevepeg, MB (that presumably stands for Mad Bastard). Donnnnnnnnnn chose to celebrate his birthday this year by having his genitalia surgically enhanced to please the ladies.

Well isn't he the optimist?



In honour of the great and anomalous Escapeons and his enduring efforts to drag Canada back to the Age of Enlightment, I am posting a video by top pop combo Ladytron, which is an ode to male sexual performance, which reaches its peak at the age of seventeen (biologically, if not culturally).

They only want you when you're seventeen
When you're twenty-one
You're no fun
They take a polaroid and let you go
Say they'll let you know
So come on

(*repeat 7 times*)

We only want you when you're seventeen
When you're twenty-one
You're no fun

LADYTRON


* I assume "repeat 7 times" was meant to be witty.

The Seven Ages of Gordie - #1


My Age:

What Happened:







How I Coped:

0

I was born, prematurely, into a place where a lot of people were trying to hurt my mother. Then my mother was sent away, and I was put into a box and looked after by people who communicated with me by pinching my feet.

Decided I had got off the wrong station,
and was probably from another planet.
Adopted policy of stubborn refusal.
Said 'NO' to everything.
