In honor of All Hallows Eve, Elephant on fire has risen from
the dead!
One night only!
Possibly for another night after this!
No one knows!
I wrote an incredible rap song about coming back after such
a hiatus, but it ended up being a word-for-word copy of Vanilla Ice’s “Ice, Ice,
Baby”.
I’m not entirely sure how this ended up happening. It felt
incredibly natural to describe “waxing a chump like a candle.” I could’ve sworn
the words were my own. However, when I recited the song to my girlfriend (she’s
real I swear), instead of hours of passionate love-making I assumed would occur
as a result of the awesome power of flawless rapping, I was told I was a plagiarist.
How could this be? Stealing sweet, sweet rhymes sure doesn’t
sound like me.
Meth addiction and Yankee Candle collection sounds more like
me.
I quickly thought of a scenario which was, in my mind, much more
likely to have occurred.
Back in the late 1980’s, Vanilla Ice invented a crude form
of time travel. It was at this time that he traveled to 2012, found the lyrics
to the song on a napkin that I threw away at Wendy’s, and knew he found rap
gold which would ultimately lead to fame and fortune.
Then he drove to the suburbs, tried to kill Sarah Connor, and
outsmarted Biff Tannen while riding a skateboard.
After traveling back to 1990, he made millions after
recording “Ice, Ice, Baby”.
What a dickhead.
Making me feel like I stole his rap.

After being told this was a less-than-likely event, I spiraled
into a deep depression.
I spent my days in tears and my nights chasing the dragon.
This carried on for several months until I heard an older
man describe his mustache as a “lip jacket”.
I laughed and laughed.
“Maybe I’ll finally write some blog posts again.” I thought.
“Don’t do that. No
one likes your blog.” said my mom.
Her words stung me like an angry hornet.
And that, my friends, is how Morgan Freeman invented
cinnamon.
That is all, you should hear from me again.
