Exactly two years ago ‘Your Inner Rhino.com’ had it first posting. Since that time We have posted 713 posts, in those 731 days (Leap Year).
Boasting is not our style, but We do feel smuggish, in a humble and (hopefully) endearing way.
Thanks to all of you who have made this project so fulfilling.
Groucho Marx was a whacky comedian on stage and in film, and later, in the fifties, had a TV show called You Bet Your Life. He was a professional smart aleck.
Rhinos all like him. High energy and rambunctious. With that combo, how can anybody go wrong?
One thing all Rhinos have in common is an addiction to a Good Laugh.
It all goes back a long way, so We guess it constitutes a Tradition, passed along to them who need it, which is all of Us. Humorless, things would just be too grim, right?
Right. Thus, We snort.
Your Inner Rhino marches forward, with snappy commentary to prompt Mental Activity. Can’t have too much of that now, can We?
Today is Jenny Lind’’s birthday, back in 1820. She was famously called “The Swedish Nightingale”. She was Swedish.
Vocal Fireworking is common among Rhinos. We are perpetually astounded at the range of noises and echoes and tonalities We can produce, when in the mood. We concertize spontaneously, it can’t be and needn’t be helped.
We carry flowers in case We get hungry mid-Aria.
More is better, right? Here at Your Inner Rhino, We are having a fine time finding out what Humans have to say about their activities.
Rhinos are always up for a Good Time.
Richard III is a History Play, theoretically detailing his getting the crown. The play presents Richard as cunningly diabolical and also bad. Next-to-nobody survives, mostly thanks to his schemings.
(His real birthday is today, but in 1452, FYI.)
Scene One takes place in Richard’s Winter, about which he is discontented. He tells Us so. Also, there is a shortage of horses at the end of the play.
Happy birthday to Confucius, who was born in 551 BC, which was a while ago. He was a philosopher, which proves his Inner Rhino was on the job, sorting out the Mysteries of Life. He was interested in getting things organized.
We salute him, despite Rhino disinterest in regimentation and governance.
And no, as far as We know, Confucius didn’t invent chopsticks.
Yesterday was Winsor McCay’s birthday, in 1869. A great illustrator with a sparkling gift for narrative- all in all, his work is a non-stop pleasure… at least, that’s the Rhino Viewpoint.
“Little Nemo in Slumberland” has his hero dashing about in a dream landscape. All of it is lovely and engaging and inspiring.
Like Nemo, Rhinos can make these mental jaunts without going to bed, but then, We don’t have beds.
Sorry how long it took Us to get this post out, here at Your Inner Rhino. The entire staff was frantic, making confetti for tomorrow. First things first, right?!
Oh boy!
