They totally could’ve called retail therapy “shelf care”. They didn’t but they should’ve. Ape cannot be in possession of ape is nine-tenths of ape law. I think when I finally get a band tog...

I hope somewhere, some how, there is a rapper thinking of calling himself “Young Frankenstein” not knowing the movie exists at all, looking up the phrase and having his mind blown by the film i...

The price of a hit song is you have to play it 200 times a year every year the rest of your life. Hopefully your hit will at least be something tossed-off & stupid. If it’s your life’s work...

Another thing I’d do with unlimited funds: a Muppet restaging of THE BIG CHILL. Another song idea with no audience: a parody of the Velvet Underground’s “All Tomorrow’s Parties” about Billy B...

Happy Hondadays suggests the existence of Happy Hondaween and I don’t think even Honda wants that. I hope that slang for a British-made truck is a “Hugh Lorrie”. I sure hope that downstate ...

We want to go to the stars. The movies make it look easy, the television makes it look easy, little blinking lights, press a few then liftoff, there you are. The fantasy is understandable but I w...
We kept coming back around to that lyric “it never rains in Southern California, it pours” which is true enough, both literally and metaphorically. In the places where there isn’t often rain, eve...

A great name for a band would, of course, be “Hoodie Warrelson”. Sometimes I think about how in my own lifetime McDonalds had a salad with the wildly racist name “Chicken Salad Oriental” but ...

Every story’s a ghost story, if you’re willing to cut through the artifice and metaphor. Someone or some thing is gone and you’re haunted and you’re wailing out in hopes someone else is haunted...
the plan keeps coming up again in poetry
the secret algorithms behind the surface levels we’ve mistaken as free will the subtle patterns weaved into the dance of an electron shell the scatter patterns of refracted light the decisions...

You know, you could make a hell of a lot of money selling Lovecraft-themed marijuana stuff. “Ain’t nothin’ more dank than smokin’ Chthonic”. More terrible-but-interesting ideas: the noir-musi...

When you consider that “Fe” is the atomic symbol for iron, Ironman totally could’ve called himself FeMale. I mean, yes, sometimes you just sing the lyrics to Space Cowboy over Fiona Apple’s C...

An instance of cannibalism in Turkey would be great for a “Donner kebab” joke. When one publicly admits to fetish wear, are they “coming out of the corset”? I’d certainly eat at a barbecue ...

Fascination almost always starts out as fear, a fear that is eventually overcome while that focus lingers on. It’s a feature that seems to come standard with any level of sentience, human, animal...

Everyone overlooks their less-well-known neighbors, Carlsadequate Caverns. If someone yells “IT’S ADAM AND EVE, NOT ADAM AND STEVE!” yell back at them “IT’S BEN AND JERRY, NOT JEN AND BARRY!”...

If you read all of your own personal problems into the movies you watch, whether or not they actually resonate, are you a film projector? The reclusive toy car magnate, Willy Tonka. Conside...

45 scarves is a “Stevie Nicks” worth of scarves. Rejected R.E.M. tracks like “What’s The Median, Stephen?” and “What’s The Mode, Gerard?” That’s a real Gerard Depardon’t. A Soundgarden so...

A Christmas version of IRON CHEF hosted by Santa Claus and at the beginning, he yells “JOLLY CUISINE!” Halloween parody of “Golddigger” called “Gravedigger”. CARTOON ALL STARS was and is st...

The part of the brain that remembers 90s one-hit wonders is called The Lisa Lobe. The weirdest Pokémon of all would be Giglipuff. I feel like it’d be fun to convince someone that “finsta” w...
