Hugh Turns Seven Months

If you have been keeping up to date with the Chronicles of Hugh, you should remember that I told him when he turned 7 months he could hang out with Kate Moss. Well, this weekend Hugh turned 7 months so he hopped on a private jet to London to shoot a campain for Burberry.

Here is what they came up with...

He is so dark, so mysterious, what is he thinking? why is he so uninterested?
All they want to do is impress the Hughman, gain his respect,... but he gives them nothing!

Brilliant!!!

Baby Sign Language.

Roller Coaster?

Just Chillin.

No funny story here, Just a few shots of Hugh max'n and relax'n before the limo picks him up for the BET Hip Hop Awards show.

"Caviar for breakfast and champagne bubble baths" (this isn't a lyric, it's a shopping list provided by Hugh)

Method Acting

Here are a few stills from Hugh's upcoming film Project Chupacabra.

Hugh no longer acts like a baby, his coos have been replaced with hissing and grunting. "This isn't a Hollywood Feature Dad, there are no take two's" Hugh has told me several times as I've tried to play with him, not like a chupacabra but a six and half month old "one wrong move and these Goat Suckers will take on a new moniker... Hugh Suckers... HOW WOULD THAT MAKE YOU FEEL?!!!!"

I clearly haven't been taking this as seriously as I should, as Hugh keeps telling me "why don't you go talk to Valerie Pauls of Albuquerque, New Mexico and ask her what happened to the tip of her ring finger." Clearly, Hugh is doing this for all the people who think it's a good idea to pet creatures that look like gargoyles, with glowing red eyes, that hiss and smell of sulpher.

He really is a HUGHmanitarian.... GET it??

A New Film By Peter Lynch

Hugh just got back from BC where he was camping with Troy Hurtubise - a close-quarter bear researcher, and star of the Canadian cult clasic Project Grizzly. Hugh had a great time but it wasn't as thrilling as he'd hoped. Although Hugh gives Troy much credit for what he has done with his passion for Grizzly Bears, he can't help but feel that developing a suit that will withstand an attack from a mythical creature like a Grizzly... a little pointless.

For this reason, Hugh is focusing his attention on a much bigger problem... The Chupacabra or Mexican Goat Sucker, a creature far more dangerous than a Grizzly and has ravished many small towns in Latin America.

Peter Lynch has signed on to film Hugh's research tour over the coming months. (see proposed film poster)

This is just one more thing that Hugh is doing for the common folk.

Sir Edmond Hughlary and Sherpa Rapsey

Hugh's Heli-skiing trip with Chuck T Jr. in Nepal was a great success. The skiing was nice, but it wasn't as exciting as Hugh had hoped for. Fortunately the Windows Vista Team was preparing for their Everest Ascent... So Hugh decided to spend another 3 weeks to join them.

Since Hugh's return he has enrolled me in sherpa school, and is planning for a solo ascent sometime next year.

Random dose of monochromatic cuteness

Captain Hugh Responds to Fan Mail

Every week I sift through bags of or fan mail and read 1000s of emails addressed to Captain Hugh. My duties are to categorize the mail into 3 piles: Respond, Don't Respond, and for the Captain to Respond... 10 lucky fans each month get personal messages from Hugh. Here is Hugh typing away to Janis Borens, a 13 year old girl from West Virginia who wanted to know if Hugh has a girlfriend.

Dear Janis,

Thank you for letter.

Yes.

Hugh Benjamin Rapsey

Ps. I hope you enjoy the Case of Cheer when it arrives.

You might be wondering why Hugh doesn't have a shirt on... Well, It's because he was practicing the "You talkin to me" scene from Taxi Driver for a meeting with some producers. He would like to debut this off-broadway one man production next year... His mother is very proud.

Captain Hugh's New Venture

So, this month we've been informed that it's no longer just Hugh, but rather Captain Hugh — the new owner of CHEER Breweries. I gather Hugh... I mean Captain Hugh, caught wind that when he went to sleep we would have guests over, and during the course of our visits we most likely would consume a glass or two of some adult beverage.

Captain Hugh then did the research and realized that in the adult beverage industry they weren't marketing to children... Captain Hugh said in a recent press junket "The children are the market this industry needs to tap into — pun intended!!!"
Well one thing led to another and Captain Hugh just released the first alcholic beverage for children:
CHEER —The Childrens Beer.

He's very excited about this initiative and he takes it very seriously, You can see here, the peoples CEO is tasting the barley mixture that goes into every batch of Cheer.

When asked for a comment, Captian Hugh quoted Ross Perot:

"Do you want answers, or do you want soundbites?
The answer is soundbites"

He then followed it up with a soundbite, that led to a diaper change....
