A Shout Out

Merry Christmas to the GilmerMetcalves from Pinky and his menagerie.

GilmerMetcalves Throw Down

The song title is: Chicken Contemplating Her Own Mortality. What is the first verse? (Pinky supposes other musicians and lyricists than the GilmerMetcalves may participate--but only if they take this seriously. If not, they will be banned from PinkyNation.)

Pinky's New Favorite Song

The GilmerMetcalves' version of This Little Piggy Went to Market.

Thanks to Pinky's Rhino Pals

Just when Pinky was feeling that his animal ministry was going nowhere, the Gilmer-Metcalves pooled their lunch money and put a big smile on Pinky's face. The rhinos will have a hot bowl of soup and a bedtime story tonight! (actually, Pinky has raised almost $3000 for his zoo keeper association fundraiser, thanks to generous contributions from his brick and mortar friends. The Gilmer-Metcalves are the only folks who have donated via this blog, so hats off to them. By the way, G-M's, who is the member who signs his/her name with an enigmatic "X"?)

See Pinky in the Flesh

Thursday, May 22, is a rare opportunity to see Pinky D in the flesh. From 5:30-9:30 PM at Gray Matters Gallery, 113 N. Haskell Ave in Dallas, TX, Pinky and Miss Love will be hosting a gala art exhibition benefiting Pinky's zoo keeper association and rhino conservation. Required donation of $5. Free beer while it lasts. Animal fabric art by the Tom and Judy Show. Watercolors galore by Pinky himself, and photos by Ken Craft of Pinky as Darwin. (Hey you GilmerMetcalves, this sounds like a roadtrip! Bring the band and a bag of kazoos and serenade the zoo keepers of America.)

The Problem with Blogging

Pinky has learned some shocking news that made him almost retract his last post. However, he realized God would know he has made a false accusation whether or not the post remained. It turns out that Pinky's (well founded) suspicions might have to be retracted. Stuck to the back of the previous photo of Uncle Poot and Puta Bonita was this lovingly hand-tinted photo. On the back of it in Uncle Poot's barely recognizable script is scrawled: Mrs. P. Caledonia Gilmer-Metcalf, Cairo, 1928, two nights in paradise. Pinky may be having a family reunion with the surviving Gilmer-Metcalves soon.

Them Gilmer-Metcalves is Stalkers

In a previous comment, the cyber-stalking Gilmer-Metcalves talked about a family pet named Puta Bonita. Well, this just proves their cyber-(and pre-cyber)stalkiness. Here is a photo of Uncle Poot in 1928 during his "Egypt Period." He is sitting next to his trusty camel named Puta Bonita. How did these Gilmer-Metcalves end up with the same name for a pet if they (or their predecessors) haven't been snooping around the Diablo clan for years?

Creepiness at the Hippo Pond

Somebody's been throwing really disturbing polaroids into the hippo enclosure. This is the 72nd one found in as many days.

Just Who are Them Cyber-Stalkin' Gilmer-Metcalves?

In the Footsteps of Greatness

Pinky has much in common with William Holman Hunt. Hunt went to the Jerusalem and bought a goat, a camel skeleton and and ibex skull to create this masterpiece. The goat died, so he purchased another one. Pinky went to Bardwell and bought a hamburger and a pack of Camels before creating one of his masterpieces. (This sounds like a song by the Gilmer-Metcalves--are they still together?)

It All Depends on How Nice You are to Pinky

Pinky's Working on the Libretto to His New Tragic Autobiographical Opera

Well, all he knows so far is that there will be a tragic monkey death, a gerenuk chorus, and fabulous sets. He is in negotiations with the world famous GilmerMetcalves to write the score. Pinky is also looking for financial backers, supernumeraries, and trained animals that sing, dance, or jump through flaming props.

Corn Pony Blues
