I don’t know what the film / book mash up “My Own Private Ivanhoe” would look like, I just know someone should do it.

Ever since he got his own clone as a sex slave, he’s been so full of himself.

When they ask you what your biggest weakness is, as a trick question in interviews, just say “Kryptonite” and see what happens.

If all you got is catastrophizing and the catastrophe never comes, either people will stop listening or you’re not gonna know how to deal with normal bad or both. Diversify your approach.

Why say “sewing needles” when you can say “style points”?

Calling a show BLANDLY ATTRACTIVE BORING PEOPLE, LIVING IN GLAMOROUS WEALTH DESPITE BARELY WORKING AND THEIR PREDICTABLE WILL-THEY WON’T-THEY NONSENSE was a little too wordy, so they called it FRIENDS then they called it SEX IN THE CITY then they called it ENTOURAGE then they called it BIG BANG THEORY and I’m tired, you guys, I’m just so tired. Sitcom as a laughless vicarious-existence engine just drains me so badly.

All you gotta do is put some particular date into your movie and then for the rest of history, you’ll get a sales bump once a year by people desperately looking for something to meme about remembering the date and churning out The Content about it. Easy squeezy.

There’s a mash-up somewhere in “Pumped Up Kicks” and “Run Run Rudolph” I just know it.
