Monsters and stuff

Apologies for being a little underpresent around here lately. I'm feeling rather driven by other people's needs and emotions lately, but feeling like their stories are theirs to tell, and not mine so much, so I haven't had so much to share.

Many of my spare cycles have been spent thinking about politics, which I don't really want to discuss too much here except to say that if you are eligible to vote in the primary for the party of your choice, that I hope you will. And if you're an Independent in a state that lets you vote in a primary, I hope you'll vote for the candidate you like best, and not for the candidate of the party you prefer less that you think is the weaker candidate.

I have been crafting some, though, and I wanted to share a picture of a little furry monster I made, before he goes off on his swap adventure.

Furry Monster

Mmm, delicious!

When I saw this sculpture on slashfood, I immediately heard my father's voice in my head, saying "Bite my ass, it's a peach." (He's been gone 11 years now, but he used to say this often when I was growing up.) I went ahead and googled the phrase, since I realized that I didn't really know where it came from, and I got a googlewhack, in the depths of a comment thread about Grand Theft Auto (#18).

Now if I hadn't found it at all, I'd have just thought it was a weirdness of my dad's, but *someone* else thought it was a reasonable rude thing to say. Does anyone else say this/know someone who says this, or know the origins of it?

ETA: Holy crap, this entry made it on to Google on a search for the phrase within 15 minutes (so it's no longer a googlewhack...woo, observer effect or something. :P). That's...kinda scary.
