... And Now, A Word From The MC

Hey, hey, hey, how about that Crow? Sure, he's a bit heavy at times, but that's why we love him. Still one of our favs over here at CNN! (That's the Coyote News Network, for you skin monkeys not in the know.) Come on, give it up for Crow!

And just look at all those smiling faces out there. (Kinda hard to see past the glare of the stage lights, but I know you're out there.) I'm Mr. Coyote, and I'm the MC of this here show. Welcome, welcome -- I just know you're going to have a blast. We've got a doozy of a lineup tonight.

Let's see ... for those of you interested, Crow will be performing at the Last Caw this Saturday night -- getting down on a spoken word rap with Hanuman backing him up on percussion. Doors at eight, five dollar cover and a two drink minimum. You don't want to miss it ... as long as nobody tries to get that damn fool bird to sing. You ever heard Crow try to sing? Ohh, it's funny alright -- but not necessarily in an entertaining sort of way.

Crow will be joining us later in our program as well ... I know he's got plenty of more tales to tell. (In fact, sometimes I wonder if we'll ever get him to shut up.) But hey, hey, let's mix it up a bit first. Let's see, what do we have on the program? OK, up next is an actual intro to this blog -- how about that. Let's see, we're only four posts in ... guess the author thinks this is some sort of postmodern non-linear freak show in the void, eh? And then a few words from Horse on herd dynamics in the workplace, Hanuman riffing on our simian heritage, more from Crow on Shadow Cusine, the Last Night News, and a whole smorgasbord of guest cameos! Hang on, folks, it's gonna be a fun ride!

But first, I'd like to inroduce a very special performance from one of our most talented, gifted, handsome, smart and beautiful performers here at CNN. Hell, not one of the most talented -- let's tell it like it IS, people. We're talking the MOST wonderful, the MOST talented star in the whole freaking CNN stable. Yes, everyone, here's our superstar ...

ME !!!!!

Come on, give it up for Your Buddy Coyote! Who's the Tricky One, baby? Yeah, I know you all love me. Come on, let's hear it for ME!

...

Hmmm, a little quiet tonight, eh? Throw me a bone, people! Ahhh, whatever, I still got a great tale to tell. It's actually about Old Crow. And Me, of course. What, you think he's the only one who can dish it out around here?

Well ... I guess you'll just have to wait until tomorrow for my tale, then. See you then!
