They call you The Bandit...

So, The Daily Blank is currently having a Slepski-palooza.  I've apparently infested the homepage with my made up tales of snark.  I hope some other stories kick me out, because it looks like I'm a story hog.

I do like the one about AfterOPRAH though.  I love a MASH reference and an AfterMASH reference with some Jamie Farr thrown in is tops for me.  I hope the Alan Alda quote is not too obscure to be confusing. 

I've got another story in the hopper about Gobots and it dawned on me while writing that just how much freedom I can have here.  I don't want to get overboard with it, but I cannot wait to start really making up some shit.  Just having fun with all the miniscule bullshit that's in my head.

Topics will soon include:

Burt Reynolds
G.I. Joe
Burt Reynolds
Comics
Burt Reynolds

You get my point.  In fact, as I'm typing this I think I may incorporate Burt as a recurring member of Daley's staff.  Maybe put him on the City council.  Seriously.  And this is all as I'm typing this so if stream of conciousness doesn't make super sense, then suck it.

Write a story about something real, the best satire has it's basis in reality IMHO, and in that story, include the mention of Burt being put into place as some position.  Next few stories, just start referencing him giving quotes on the matters at hand.  The shit's getting made up anyway, so why not use Burt.  What is then created, over time, is a paper trail of an imaginary life of cinematic great Burt Reynolds. 

Stay tuned....


MotD: Slacker

Richard Linklater's indie debut feels like a warning sign for what the rest of the 1990's was going to be. It's very entertaining, a very writers movie, kinda like Seinfeld, about nothing and in the process, about everything.  The camera flows from person to person via shared conversations throughout a day in Austin, TX.  Lot's of monologues, some better than others, the best belonging to Madonna's pubis.  Worth seeing to have said you saw it, it has rewatcheability, if only because there's a LOT of concepts tossed about.  Well played, Clerks, well played.
