NEW YORK CITY - Word reached these offices today that the Cubby Creatures had changed the name
of their band to the Clear Thinking Creatures. This is reportedly in response to the man who
changed the name of french fries to freedom fries. World Cubby Events Analyst Roderick Hairbrux said, "This is quite a statement. A band relies on its name for recognition. Without a recognizable band identity, without the cubby brand that the Cubby Cr--I mean--the Clear Thinking Creatures have developed, their record sales could drop dramatically. Then again, the Cubby Creatures have rarely sold a record anyway." In fact, Cubby products--including CDs, "'zines" (low-budget photocopied miniature magazines) and band memorabilia--have more often than otherwise been given away--at parties, concerts and through the mail. "There is not a lot of selling involved in the Cubby," Mr. Hairbrux elaborated. "This is unheard of," exclaimed Mr. Hairbrux, drawing the interview on still further. "Besides Prince changing his name to a symbol and Jol removing the "e" from his name, I don't know of a single more profound example of anything like this ever happening. "I admit I live in an exceedingly insular world and pay attention to shockingly few things, but let me just underline the point I'm trying to make here: that this is simply ground shattering, and you just can't fathom what this feels like to someone who is actually a fan of the band." "I'm destroyed!" exclaimed Charlie Danger, sometime inhabitant of Cubby Control, with a round of high-fives to reporters and passersby.. "The Cubby Creatures have done it again. It's a statement to end all statements." Noted for his hyperbolic outbursts and epic overstatements, Charlie Danger was one of the founding fathers of the early Cubby movement, one of the seven Children of Tina to whom the Sprite of Cubby Understanding first appeared at the dawn of this most recent Era of Cubby Manifestation. Jol, another former Cubby operative currently residing in the city, was unable to comment. "I just don't understand what it means," he said, removing his shirt and changing into his gym attire. "I can't believe people are still eating french fries." |
