halfway through the ides barrage in idea barrages

1.) Which do you think Harrison Ford put less energy into: the Bladerunner ADR work or the Star Wars Holiday Special?

2.) Someone either write a movie about a thinly-veiled Jake Lloyd growing up under the weight of that horrible movie or pay me to write it.

3.) While many say owning a dog is like having a toddler in perpetuity, not as many note how a cat is a moody surly teenager.

4.) The ides of March is nothing, the idle of March, those who did not go out & vote against fascism, those are the thing to beware.

5.) A difficult day unto eve it hath been, as a cur have I toiled/A difficult day unto eve it hath been, slumber should I as a tree upon soil.

6.) I don’t know why I’m occasionally reworking the opening lines of classic rock songs into a pseudo-Shakespearean patois. I have a problem?

7.) Hockey games on Thursday should have to refer to it as Saint Hat-Tricks Day.

8.) Patriotism’s the last refuge of a scoundrel, right after religion, but for advertisers, it’s nostalgia all the way down.

9.) I read too many X-Men books as a kid, I really thought the apocalypse would at least bring cool giant robots not just slimy rich fascists.

10.) When I see this mess, I wonder if it was wise that the generation before us gave up on the revolution so they could raise us in the suburbs.
