That's Your Boyfriend: Captyn Zodiak

thumbnail icon: That's Your Boyfriend: Captyn Zodiak

When you and your boyfriend, Captyn Zodiak, first started going out, your friends wanted to support you. Sure, he would show up to a dinner party empty handed and put his bare feet up on the table. Sure, a pot-leaf bandanna and reflective Oakley wraparounds seemed to be his version of formal eveningwear. Sure, he said that the reason he called everyone Gaia was because he had trouble remembering names. And sure, he still smoked Djarums even though it's been more than 20 years since he graduated high school. But you seemed really focused on self-improvement, which was better than a lot of your previous relationships. And if impromptu kitchen drum circles and impromptu living room poetry jams were part of that, your friends were willing to play along.

Until they realized that your boyfriend, Captyn Zodiak, was actually just ridiculous, and probably mentally unstable. Lydia swears she caught him in Todd's bathroom one time trying to eat incense.

He's like a cross between Rocky Balboa, Eric Nies, and a clown. Let's paint, exercise, and take our brain medicine, Captyn Zodiak.

P.S. Holy shit.

(Thanks for the tip, Darius.)

QUESTION:

Do you mind if I use "BECCA" as the name of my love interest in my upcoming novel?!


FULL DISCLOSURE:

There is a love triangle with "Becca," the Constantinople Character, and Spooky Ghost. All is upset HOWEVER when ISTANBUL shows up TO FUCK SOME STUFF UP. It's like LOST love line. But with the American Revolution

i've got to read this novel of yours!
it should be set in a small town called Gumland where the ppl call themselves Gummerz. but there should be no bridges in the town because I hear bridges attract trolls - and Gummerz hate trolls.

If he doesn't like computers, why is he making this video? Shouldn't he be spending these eight minutes and nine seconds playing around in the sunshine? Like an animal, or something?

Definitely a dash of the guy who played Kramer too. Specifically when he is apologizing on Letterman, all very straight faced and solemn and saying "afro-americans"

If you are going to smoke anything, Djarums are not the worst choice.
