I was thinking about this today as it rained yet again… Everyone knows the age-old tale that there is a pot of gold (Pot ‘o gold) at the end of every rainbow. Where that tale came from, who really cares? It most likely told from the same people that told the story of little Miss Muffet, who ate her CURDS AND WHEYS?!
Anyways I don’t think anyone in the last 100 years has even seen a literal pot full of gold. And no, Lucky Charms do not count. I was thinking that the whole pot of gold thing needs a 21st century update! What would be the equivalent?
I don’t think it would be all that exciting if there was just a briefcase with lots of money. I think it would have to be more mystical - the fact of the matter is, did anyone ever put their gold in pots? What if the potted gold is more of an ironic thing… like a hybrid SUV?
My suggestions for a 21st century end of the rainbow myth:
- A sit rope. Like a jump rope… but you can do it while sitting
- Brett Favre color changing Mood jersey
- A wireless microwave
- A computer softdrive
- The host of Nickelodeon’s Double Dare
- The movie Kaazam
That is all I have for right now, other suggestions are welcome!

I vote Kaazam. Can I also vote that we watch Kaazam in the near future? There might have to be drinking involved...
ReplyDeleteAlso, I actually kind of like the briefcase of money idea. However, I'd like to add a model holding it, Deal-or-no-Deal style... OR let's just go with The Price is Right.
Scratch that. New idea. I want Bob Barker at the end of the rainbow, with his tiny mic, ready to tell me what fabulous prizes I've won. Perfect.
