Purely as a public service, and not at all to get them out of my head, I am posting a series of one- or two-line ideas I’ve had, but haven’t been able to process into something workable. Hopefully, others will find a way to expand them.<\/p>\n
Frozen isn’t a (liberally adapted) version of Hans Christian Anderson’s “The Snow Queen.” <\/strong>It’s a (painfully blatant) retelling of Wicked<\/em>, only bearing character changes and a happy ending for legal and Disney purposes (respectively).<\/p>\n I overheard a couple of guys in a bar talking about the sorry state of the SEC.<\/strong> I agreed, but pointed out that’s what happens when your corps of regulators are allowed to be too closely tied to the regulated class. They looked at me like I was insane. Turns out they were talking about football.<\/p>\n If the best (or worst) thing you have to say about your day is that you’re clean and awake, you’re still doing okay.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n I often wonder if, 500 years from now, high school English students will be forced to plow through old Two and a Half Men <\/em>scripts like modern students have to study Twelfth<\/em> Night<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/em>The Porkpie, Seersucker, and Fedora are all really the same hat with a slight variation in the size of the brim.<\/strong><\/p>\n I wonder if there’s any significance to the fact that Edward Hermann, Donna Dixon, and Mario Cuomo all died in the same week.<\/strong> I’m sure a brilliant conspiracy theory could be formed on it, possibly something involving manufactured connections and the Kentucky Mafia.<\/p>\n A surprising number of movies get bashed for being bad when they’re really just “not as good as we wanted them to be.”<\/strong> Except X-Men 3. <\/em>It was awful, and its plot would have made more sense if Rattnor had just watched his kid play with action figures and transcribed that.<\/p>\n Sometimes I look angry or upset and people ask me what’s wrong. I really don’t know what to tell them. <\/strong>Because the only thing actually in my head is something along the lines of, “I really like pie.”<\/p>\n There you go guys. Eight brilliant ideas just begging for a better writer than me to flesh them out into something worth reading.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Purely as a public service, and not at all to get them out of my head, I am posting a series of one- or two-line ideas I’ve had, but haven’t been able to process into something workable.
