Heed the Cupcake
Yes, El has been absent. Between holiday festivities, and a certain bankruptcy that shall remain unnamed, El's plate has been full.
Due to the bankruptcy, it is unknown whether El will get his pension, which is why El continues finding ways to reinvent himself. El is much more than a cupcake, he's an icon, and should be revered. If The Shat can do it, so can El! El could do a one cupcake show!!
And speaking of reveling in the cupcake... it has not gone unnoticed that almost all articles regarding a certain bankruptcy fail to mention THE CUPCAKE!!!
Rick Ruggles?? I'm talking to you (and everybody else, but yours was the last article El read). El realizes your slant was health and new snacking habits. For that matter, El can't really even bust you, because El has long grown tired of people trying to take a bite out of him and wouldn't mind if they stopped, but you could have at least mentioned the cupcake.
El ran with the best and the brightest. El was courted by artists and literary stars! El used to be on the A-list of who was invited to dinner, not only because he was tasty, but because he was EL SNACKTATOR!!! And yet journalists like Rick still write things like this:
The bankruptcy filing of Hostess Brands, which makes Twinkies, Ho Hos, Ding Dongs, Suzy Q's and other sinfully succulent snacks, confirms that everything changes, including eating habits.
Again, El asks... where's the mention of the cupcake... Really Rick??
El has had a rough number of years... trying to reinvent himself, trying to not live in the past, trying to once again catch lightning in a bottle (Don't bust El's chops for split infinitives, Rick... you're the journalist, not El). He could use a little adoration. He could use a little reveling in his El-ness. But now, all we hear about is the Twinkie.
Well, that's going to change. The Mayans aren't the only ones predicting things for 2012. No, El is going to reclaim his rightful spot in the grand scheme of things. He never really was one of those mass-produced things anyhow. They were inadequate copies of the one true snack cake.
People will still be eating him up.
Heed the cupcake!

German Premiere!!!
Yes, El knows he's been gone... Yes, El knows you've missed him, but like most American icons, El has been filming in Germany. We've got to make a living, right?? Even The Hoff knows this! Although, El confesses to not being a huge Hoff fan. As one of El's German friends said... no, not all Germans are ga-ga uber das Hoff... He said, "The Hoff has no pathos!"
Nuff said.
El wants it on a t-shirt.
But back to El... El's German video debut will be this next Sunday. Stay tuned!
And... Dieter?? You and your monkey may eat your heart out!

El Runs/Ran in Cool Circles...
Today is the birthday of three of El's great friends, all artistic in nature, all understanding the depth and nuance of El. Unfortunately two of them have since slipped off this mortal coil. One still remains. Come to think of it, the two who have since departed, have captured El's greatness. One still has not... El's going to have to do something about that.
Happy Birthday, Ed... ya old moody bastard!
Happy Birthday, Sandy!! El always loved your playfulness.
And last, but not least... Happy Birthday, Cat! YOU ROCK!!!

El for One and One for El
El received notice that his #1 fan, Dylan Brody, was again tweeting about him. El is not surprised. If El were not El, he'd be tweeting about him. Wait, El tweets about El even though El is El. Let's just end with it would be understandable if everyone were tweeting about El... what's not understandable is why they are not...
Another point that is not quite understandable is this "human alter-ego" thing. This confuses El. Human? Alter-ego? El can understand humans desiring to be him. It is El's world after all. But to suggest that El is not who he purports to be?? Well... perhaps Mr.. Brody is projecting!!!
Someone who apparently has all of the facts together would be this puffsnmuffs character... also found on teh Twitterwebs... El keeps reading it as "Puff N' Stuff"... but none the less, this puffing character is obviously well aware of El's influence and reach. El does tend to beam a ray of loveliness into the lives of those he deems to touch.
El would also like to point out that Shatner had a chance to bask in this glow, but ignored it... How's that working for you now, Bill?? Hmmm???
"On May 15, 2011, CBS announced that it had canceled $#*! My Dad Says."

El Gets Mail
Yes, El still receives many, many letters/e-mails a day... some requesting advice, some requesting marriage, some just extolling El's virtues. El likes those the best, but hey, attention is attention, so El is appreciative of all.
El's most recent e-mail requested more info about... El! Ms. Laura H. of Bemidji, MN (El had never heard of Bemidji before, but was happy to read that it is a historically charming, progressive and beautiful north woods city to visit.) Although El has shared plenty of his past, not to mention that El's beginnings are very much a part of the public record, Ms. H wanted to know any little idiosyncrasies that might not be common knowledge. El is more than happy to oblige. Ms. H?? Are you paying attention??
Fun Facts about El!
1) All El facts are fun.
2) El can do almost anything with gloves on... and his hands raised in the air.
3) El sleeps on his back. Really, this is a no-brainer.
4) El's squiggles are removable and varied (see last paragraph here)... El changes it as he changes his mind.
5) El firmly believes in live and let live. El has noticed during his many decades on the planet that most people get their undies in a knot and tell others what to do, while demanding that others not tell them what to do. Really??
6) El is afraid of the word "kerfuffle". Let's just leave it at that.
7) Every single cupcake with any variety of squiggle is merely an homage to the one and only true El. When they made El Snacktator, they broke the mold... because they knew people wouldn't want to eat cupcakes that talk... OK, OK, El was a reject. El was a baking plan gone awry. At least that's what they'll tell you. But that's a post for another time...
8) El is a better Rorschach test than the Rorschach test. They have even had Rorschach tests read El's posts to see what the Rorschach test was thinking.
9) El dances daily.
10) El loves dogs... probably because dogs are not supposed to eat chocolate.
11) El is not very tall. El knows this surprises some.
12) El had first shot at Marlon Brando's role in A Streetcar Named Desire, but El was too charismatic. They felt they had to go with someone with less je ne sais quoi... El understood.
13) El was the only cameo cut out of The Aristocrats... again, it was that superb timing and out of control charisma... Oh well, El always thought it would have been funnier had it been "A cupcake walks into an agent's office..."
14) El has a stalker... El won't name any names... DYLAN BRODY! El takes solace in the fact that he has an eloquent stalker... a humorous stalker... a man who brings a certain intellectual prestige to stalking...
15) El's favorite word? Moose. He loves the way his lips gently pucker, and his nostrils gently flair while saying it. Mmmmoose. Say it with El! Mmmmmoose! See?? It's good... and given that Laura H. lives in Northern Minnesota, El is guessing she can relate.
El hopes that satisfied your curiosity Laura! El is eternally complex and eternally changing... so don't be surprised if you come back next week and find all of his answers have changed... It's El's world. He's allowed to do that.

RevELing
El's been a bit off center lately. El's not been in touch with his inner-compass, which normally always point to El, but El's feeling it again and El is reveling in his wonderfulness. How many other snack cakes have risen to such heights? How many snack cakes have rubbed shoulders (OK, El's rubbed his shoulder on their ankles) with those who define centuries?
El may not be President. El may not be Gwyneth, but dammit, El is still El... ruler of the world, whether people know it or not.
El still kicks ass.
Not to mention... El still looks better in a red singlet than Sean Connery...

Remiss in Blogging
But what can El say?? There's been vacation... and socializing... and a small, personal crisis of the soul, but other than that, El is still here.
Don't remove your bookmark yet. El has more to show. El just doesn't know if it's fact or fiction.

The Horrors of the Autograph Show Circuit
El has been remiss in his blogging duties... that's because El has been forced to go out and prove his relevance in a 21 Century world. El, who once had the world wrapped around his finger. At what point does a supreme cupcake become his own being and stop being a hawker for his creator?? More on that in another post...
El spent this last weekend doing autograph shows. El will not be doing this again. El hopes he will not be doing this again. While El understands the public's desire for contact, their desire to bask in his El-ness, El finds the autograph show to be... what shall we say... less than befitting a cupcake of his stature... a cupcake of his level... a cupcake who has moved beyond mere cupcake status to international cult figure. El is iconic, not pathetic.
El was not meant to sit in a huge room with poor lighting... sitting at a cafeteria table on a folding chair. El would have thought that the backers of this event might have thought that putting a cupcake anywhere near a cafeteria table might elicit less than pleasant feelings in said cupcake...
Still... El did his job... El mingled with the masses. El signed, and signed, and signed, and signed... El posed for photos. El gave words of wisdom. El looked resplendent.... looked being the operative word. It's going to take weeks to get the damn fingerprints out of this icing...

Give 'Em El
Apparently the public has spoken... at least the public on Facebook. They're not getting enough El. While El can understand, El has also been leery of committing more time to the internetz. El does have a world to run. However, El is also benevolent.. so is willing to give them what they want.
