Live from Chernobyl…
My Mom & Dad are some of my biggest fans here on my blog, likely because it’s the closest they can come to creeping on me since I don’t (and never will) have a Facebook account. But when they were given this glass as a gift a few nights ago at one of the local casinos, they thought I might enjoy it more than they would… and I have to say, it is quite unique.
The Quadricorn has become the unofficial mascot for Ameristar Casinos, of which the local version is our casino of choice when any of us feels like losing a bunch of money having a little fun. The glass was a freebie they were giving away, and I guess my Dad was special enough to get one. While he is certainly pretty to look at, alas, the Quadricorn still has nothing on my Rainbow Donkey…
Need more horns and less unibrow…
Speaking of Rainbow Donkey, given his spurt of popularity lately, I realized he was seriously lacking in that Cafepress shop of mine of which a link still lurks on The Nest’s sidebar. So I took some time to give RD his own section and tested out a new mouse with a few donkicorn designs I uploaded over there. I’ll try to throw up some more Rainbow Donkey stuff for my CP shop in the near future. Hey, I actually made $1.88 this week on a couple Marketplace sales of some old crap I had uploaded! Gotta see if RD can maybe boost that up to $2.88….

Oh yeah!! Rainbow Donkeh!!
The one and onleh!
LOL..I will check it out, its on my agenda. 😉
We have an Ameristar across the river where my step kid lives so we deal with a ton of tacky quadricorn commercials. I feel your pain.
It pissed me off when those commercials were showing on Hulu at the time I was catching up on the old Dragnet shows a couple years ago! I got so sick and tired of seeing them. Nothing against the Quadricorn, but the dude he hangs out with is a putz…
Most commercials anymore just annoy me. I realize they have to cater to the lowest common denominator, but really? Has America become that mentally stunted?
I prefer Donkicorn myself, but that glass is certainly precious!
Yep, I can’t argue with that! It’ll always have a home with my collectibles…
Rainbow Donkey for the win!! Perhaps the quadricorn is his unfortunate fifth cousin … or something. 😛
Fifth cousin, twenty-three times removed…. 😉
Yay! I made what passes for a mental note the other day that I need to get some Angel wear for my new niece for Christmas and that I need a new Lil t-shirt. I might need to add some Rainbow Donkey to my Santa List….
There’s a lot of need in that paragraph, isn’t there? Ha!
For anybody that’s wondering (and even more so for those that aren’t), as marvelous as ES’ art is on your screen, it’s even more kickass on a shirt, mousepad, glassware, whatever. Be the cool gift giver this year!
I couldn’t have gotten a better pitch from Billy Mays! Thanks, Your Maj!
Rainbow Donkey kicks quadricorn butt!
With three horns tied behind his back!
The quadricorn is just weird … in an almost creepy way.
How did a quadricorn become their mascot? I’m having trouble imagining the conversation that lead to that
I think it was part of their gimmick of offering 4X the player points on some slots. So in one ad they trotted out a unicorn, only to have it one-upped by a quadricorn… and it stuck because even genetically altered unicorns fall under the old “babies and animals” advertising gold….
Ah ok, that makes sense now … kind of
Rainbow donkey is way better. Here is to never having a Facebook account…never had one or will, either.
Yes!!! I am not alone in the FB resistance!
I dont have FB. I have blog and email and online pattern shop. I am only one little Aunt!
Quadricon is very majestic but Rainbow Donkey is just amazing and outranks everything
else in that league!!! O!M!G! Cafepress has acknowledged good old Aussieland!!! 🙂
It’s about time they got with the program!!! 🙂
I know what everyone will be getting for Christmas this year… “That’s cool but it’s no RAINBOW DONKEY!” T-shirts! And Rainbow Donkey golf balls, flasks, lunch bags, wall decals, and Christmas ornaments. Something for everyone. 🙂
It’s amazing the things one can put Rainbow Donkey on! He should be on everything like it was in the movie Spaceballs!
RD-the T-shirt, RD-the Coloring Book, RD-the Lunch box, RD-the Breakfast Cereal, RD-the Flame Thrower. Love that movie.
YES!!!!!!! Ha ha, I loved that scene! Best Mel Brooks movie ever!
LOL I have face-creeped my son…I’m such a loser Mom! 😉
Ha! At least you admit it! 😉
Seriously, that’s the only reason my Mom keeps pestering me to get my own FB account! I will not make her happy!
I wouldn’t give in either! I also admit that my son is a brony. Does that make me less creepy now?
LOL! Yes it does!
