Rhod's Secret: Seven Nation Army

I know it is risky telling the truth about powerful uberbloggers such as the Great Goomba and Hot Rhoderick. Indeed, Hell has no fury like an old blogger scorned. Still, my soul compels me in such weighty matters. Thus, I intrepidly forge ahead.

Query: Ever wonder how Rhod pens those majestic screeds wherein he lays waste to every shabby thought, even the thoughts thinking about becoming thoughts deep in the recessed firmament of a mushy brain?

Well, now the truth can be told. Rhod plays the following song over and over -- before, during, and after -- until his post is finally edited to perfection:



I challenge you, dear readers, in honor of His Hotness, to listen to The White Stripes play that glorious tune each time you partake of one of Rhod's posts. You'll see it. You'll experience it. Live the Heat.

Really posted by Nickie Goomba.

DC, you're probably one of the few people on earth to know that I played oboe on every track of the White Stripes ICKY THUMP CD.

Thanks for this stroll down memory lane.

And I, Nicholas ... play the tuba and can pound out that intro on tuba to where you can't tell it's being done without strings.

Man, Rhod is going to be stirring in la manana when he sees you let the cow out of the barn. He sleeps to their albums, too. (Headphones on, every night) Thus, he wakes up good and cranky and just fired up. As long as we get the muzzle pointed downrange, we are good.

Rhod, forgive Nickie for this. But I think it does shed some light.

What would be classic is if we had a 100 comment thread by dawn for his early morning trawling for screeds.

Hmmm. I remember when Nickie opened up and told us about his theme song, "Just a Gigolo".

Now Rhod has shown us his.

DC? DC????

Opus #6 said...

Ooops. On re-reading, I see that Rhod has shown us nothing of the sort. This is all DC's doing.

Does this mean that Rhod will be allowed to pick a theme song for DC?

Or should we open it up for voting. Maybe a poll in the sidebar?

I think Nick has absconded with my posting name, and tried to make this look like my handywork.

But since you asked, Opie, probably "Fanny, Be Tender with My Love," by the BeeGees or Creepy Crawling by Chumbawumba.

I think Rhod is more ABBA.

Rhod is a cool dude, but he doesn't dance. He musn't dance!! Something about the blue laws up in Maplesparrow Township.

Hop Sing said...

I no like this music. Music like making sex. If too bumpy and loud, neighbor complain. Soft music better. You go now!

Wetzy ... outstanding. Rhod will have your head for that.

Blue laws? Oh, boy. Now you're gonna get all that traffic Nick for people googling blue laws this weekend. Prepare the server! Damn the torpedoes.

Some time during this video I passed out. Just before losing consciousness, I felt like I was ascending in a ballon with Herve, my deceased batman, at the torch.

After the smelling salts, I phoned my solicitor. This was too strange even for me. And that's if I overlook the actionable libel about Maplesparrow. There's more Morris dancing here, on purpose, than anywhere in Britain.

Wetzy's right. If you leave out the Chad Mitchell Trio, ABBA from behind is my interest. There also aren't any skeletons...but have you SEEN Bennie lately?

Opie probably left the deleted comment. We have a "Play Misty for Me" deal going.

Rhod said...

I didn't comment directly to DC and Goomba on purpose. Legal advice.

Hop's vote was "Kung Fu Fighting".

Good work and good Sunday morning, Rhod. Hold on while I go back, turn up the music and reread ...

Rhod said...

DC's got something on an open fire for breakfast. I can smell the prairie dog sausage and gopher marinade from here.

Holy Crap Batman, what was in that breakfast cereal

Rhod, turn down the earbuds.

Rhod said...

Rob, it was Honey Bunches of Magic 'Shrooms.

I'm totally "living the heat" over here.

Thanks for the laughs on a gorgeous Sunday morning : D

Rob, it's all natural cereal ... just plain craziness.

P-girl, glad you are having fun. Canadians have great senses of humor and curling teams.
