no23 - barragefriday in idea barrages

1.) Waiting for Neil Young to reinvent himself as a rapper called Young Neil.

2.) Interrobang is both a rarely used punctuation and the name for the water-boarding fetish.

3.) On a long enough timeline, Elvis Costello and Jeff Goldblum will eventually age into twins.

4.) In Soviet John Stamos, Rebecca Romaine throws out YOU.

5.) Fancy cooking tip: if you squeeze Glenn Danzig hard enough, you get one of the Mother sauces.

6.) You could combine Van Morrison and Morrissey into the most annoying singer ever, Van Morrissey.

7.) There’s the Kiss Army for people really into them and then there’s the Kiss National Guard for people who just kind of like “Rock And Roll All Night”.

8.) In my head-canon, they know Prince Adam could easily kill them when he’s He-Man so they just play along with his little game to be safe. Maybe they think it’s, like, a kink of his.

9.) A parody of Snow’s Informer that’d be like “In-FORM-al, just wear whatever you’d wear to leave the house, some khakis and a blouse”?

10.) TRUE FACT: National Lampoon’s Vegas Vacation was made solely so that European Vacation would no longer be “the disappointing one”.

11.) I wonder how many drug dealers are having Black Tar Friday sales tomorrow.

12.) Jokes about lotions are always topical.

13.) Spice up your holiday by playing a marathon of Hank Williams The Third’s metal albums and call it “Hanksgiving”.

14.) Every time I see a posting about a Thanksgiving road race that mentions a “turkey trot” I think about holiday food poisoning instead.

15.) A great name for a Southern Belle styled burlesque or drag persona would be “Harmony Grits” and you know it.

16.) “(What’s So Funny ‘Bout) Beast-Man Clawful & Mer-Man?” would probably please the six people in the world equally conversant in The Masters Of The Universe & Elvis Costello.

17.) Sometimes I mishear “Shine On You Crazy Diamond” lyrics as “now there’s a look in your eyes/like black holes in disguise” and I gotta admit, I like my line better.

18.) The idea of a holiday of harvest & thankfulness is a marvelous thing & may you all have a wonderful that. If we could divorce it from cartoonish depictions of First Nations peoples & crass sales events & gladiatorial combat, though, that’d also be great.

19.) Podcast idea: re-watch, review & discuss every National Lampoon-branded film in order of release, starting strong, getting more sad & hideous over time & call it “If You Don’t Watch This Movie, We’ll Kill This Podcast”.
