An Interview with Cupid

Well this month is a two for one. It took me quite awhile to track down this guy, but I managed it (I had to shake hawaiigopher off my tail...him and that rifle are scary. I bet you've never seen a gopher with a rifle, believe me, it's scary). Well, my penguins and I shook him and traveled to Mount Olympus. Unfortunately my penguins and I were shunned (Apparently cupid doesn’t live there). So we had to think. Where in the world could a naked baby fly around unnoticed. Then it hit us; Brazil. So my penguins and I hitched a ride on a plane (it was shipping bananas back to brazil from Greece). Well, we were finally in Brazil, but the hard part was where to look. We took our time, and searched every grain of sand and every city. After a lot of searching, we realized the one place left...the edge of the rain forest. My penguins and I got there, and Etchy (my oldest penguin) got up and did a cupid mating call. It sort of sounds like someone spraying perfume, and Cupid appeared out of the branches of a near by tree. I grabbed his wing, and finally was able to get this more than an awkward interview.

Since: Welcome Cupid. How does it feel to be here?
Cupid: You tricked me you dirty rotten #^$%$^%@*( how dare you $^%#&....

Since: Well aren’t you a potty mouth?
Cupid: No, actually, I'm rather poetic... If you would just let go of me...
(I let go of his wing and he flew just a bit above us)

Cupid: There we go... Much better now we can have this conversation. Who do you want me to hook you up with?

Since: No one at the moment. I just want an interview.
Cupid: Okay... Well get on with it then.

Since: When did you get your wings?
Cupid: I was born with them... or at least I think I was. I’m 457 years old... it's hard to remember exactly.

Since: That’s fine... So where did you pick up that bow and arrow?
Cupid: Ebay... you can get anything on ebay. Luckily, this was a one of a kind.

Since: Darn...I was hoping I could get one.
Cupid: You could steal one from Aphrodite... although you might be shunned forever.

Since: Nah. I plan to interview her in about a year. So... Why don’t you wear clothes?
Cupid: I don’t have any that would maneuver around my wings really well, and those togas are itchy.

Since: Why do you live in the rain forest?
Cupid: It’s the only place you'd ever find a nymph.

Since: Can you make people fall in love with yourself.
Cupid: Nope... It only works on people that are the same; such as, it would work on two wolves, but I can’t make a wolf fall in love with a human. See what I mean? Since I’m a one of a kind and all... it's impossible.

Since: Oh... that’s unfortunate. Final question... the tie breaker here... Coke or Pepsi?
Cupid: Root beer... Only drink I can actually get down.

Since: Well thanks for your time... have a great flight, and I hope you get one of those nymphs.
Cupid: Thank you...
