"Our Own Way" - Hot Water Music
I'm terrible at writing profiles, so here's a story.
Imagine, if you will, a lightning bolt striking savannah, the intense heat igniting the dry grass. A wall of fire, whipped up by strong winds, rushes across the landscape, reducing everything in its path to ashes. Rocky hills form a boundary on three sides of the plain; a river acts as a firebreak to the south. The three fastest and strongest animals escape with their lives - the mighty Lion, the Giraffe, the Antelope. All the other creatures perish.
Gathered on the south bank of the river, the three survivors survey the devastation with sad eyes. The lion weeps for his pride, his mate, his cubs. The giraffe, separated from his brethren for many seasons, weeps only for himself. The antelope, stranded with a walking crane and a ravenous carnivore whose diet consists primarily of antelope, is quite clearly fucked. Doesn't stand a chance.
As the lion picks the antelope's bones clean, the giraffe wanders off, exploring his new environment. Able to see for miles he spots a glimmer in the distance, and he runs at speed towards it. Soon enough he finds himself at Nairobi airport, and boards a plane bound for London. Upon landing at Heathrow, he is spotted by a photographer, who, after speaking to his people, the giraffe is given a £1,000,000 exclusive contract with a top model agency. Three years later (including a short spell in rehab), the giraffe releases his first single with his band "Fly Harvest Compressor" (Rog on guitar, Steve Q on bass, The Phoenix on drums) which shoots straight to number one after much pre-release hype from the NME. Their career is long and successful, finishing with a record-breaking gig at the new Wembley Stadium (100% profits going to various charities, including a notable wildlife charity dealing with preservation of African savannah). The giraffe dies happily aged 93 (long past the natural lifespan of the giraffe) at his estate in the Scottish Highlands, surrounded by his family - his wife and former model Shazzam (© Zzzzip Models), and their three children, Oswald, Lucretia, and Giraffe Jnr.
And that is why giraffes are awesome. Awesome Welles.
Please drop by my website: here . It's a cool place to read self-important conceited drivel and to watch silly characters move about and do silly things in silly animations. There are also other silly characters that don't move about, and some silly characters that aren't actually characters at all. Some aren't even silly. Can you imagine that? Can you? No. No you cannot.
I want free stuff.
