The Lope: December 2004

Prologue: Concerning Jackalopes


Only now do we know the true scope of their abilities...



The origin of the jackalope is a matter of speculation. Some say they are the result of trysts between antelopes and jackrabbits. Others say they are an ancient species, though elusive to the fossil record.



They grew up alongside us, working in the background in the foundation of our civilizations, disguised as us.



Spanning all cultures throughout history



Each of them part of the shadowy jackalope network, observing us for purposes unknown



Watching our culture develop



Ingrained in the power structures of empires



Sleuthing...



Romancing...



Partaking of our trends



Reveling in our parties...



Indulging in our pasttimes



Veiled behind the origins of our mythologies



Lurking sometimes in the genesis of darkest literature



And our classic songs



Seeking adventure



Serving in just causes



Inciting revolutions



But never forgetting to be well-read



I suspect the have a rather saturated geographic distribution.



I am eternally surprised at the lengths to which they will go to fit into different cultures.



Wanderlust seems to be a prime jackalope characteristic.



As is the tendency to confront fearsome creatures



Of course, they do like recreation



The jackalope that travels with me calls himself Ace, and is a connoisseur of the American road trip. We've traveled Route 66 together from Chicago



To Los Angeles



From the beaches of South Carolina...



To the tiki and googie strewn reaches of the Northwest



From Canada



to the Sea of Cortez



And a few other places besides


Along the way, we've met a few people you might recognize.



Garrison Keillor who, upon seeing Ace said "Whatever the joke is, I'm in on it."



Kathleen Sebelius



Alice Cooper painted Ace's eye makeup while saying "this will only hurt for a minute - then you'll be immortal."



Tim Curry



Ace meets the nation with Bob Schieffer.


We've even run into a few presidential types here and there, though that's usually a work thing and Ace isn't all that interested in coming along.



Bill Clinton



George Bush visits Greensburg, Kansas.



Barack Obama campaigns in Kansas City.



But the most interesting people we meet are all of you. Come with us; you never know where you'll end up.
