The sign “NO HORSEPLAY IN THE POOL” meant their hopes for a summer production of Equus were pre-emptively dashed.

It is not entirely out of the realm of possibility that there used to be a mom-and-pop convenience store called Getmo somewhere that had to change its name after our culture started using Gitmo as the abbreviation for America’s Offshore Torture Hole.

I just wanna remake Apocalypse Now with the Muppets so badly. Dr. Teeth in the Dennis Hopper role would be SO GOOD.

Watching Twitter being used to relay police scanner updates to protestors on the streets of NYC is something even most dystopian science fiction authors wouldn’t have dealt with. Maaaaybe Philip K Dick but there’d be more drugs involved.
