Happy Friday, Friday Jones!

I gave Wei new headphones to use at the radio show, and a new CPU for
her old beat up Mac. Also I gave her Lil'l Mule, the spare hard drive
left over when Muleskinner 1 was put out to pasture. (Relegated to only
playing MP3 and dubbing CDs.) Then I gave her a real big kiss.

Then she made me watch "My Big Fat Greek Wedding," and she cried all
through it. I didn't mind being made to watch this "women's picture"
because the leading lady in it is completely atypical, with a big butt
and a GREAT big nose. It's a pretty good movie actually.

Early on in it, I thought, Hey, you could substitute "Jewish" or
"Mexican" or "Catholic" for "Greek" in this and still have the family
be lovably loud, fat, ethnic, and always eating. Later I thought of an
even better substitution.

Wei identified with the ethnic girl who finally meets Mister Right, but
he's the wrong Ethn, but they get married anyway even though her whole
huge family is horrified to see her marry a White Bread ANGLO. However,
rather than me identifying with the handsome young Anglo groom, I
identified with old blathering xenophobic Greek DAD.

It was then that I realized that one could rip this off as

"MY BIG FUCKED SUBGENIUS WEDDING"

and improve on it. Such a ripoff would offer a million opportunities
for huge laffs through normal vs. sub contrasts, and jokes that only a
few thousand moviegoers would ever "get."

The laffs would be derived from the turnabout of having "normality"
defined by the goofy wacky SubGenius extended family, with the Pink
family looking dull by comparison (but of course loosening up for the
happy ending).

THE MUNSTERS, in other words.

Hey, I remember you really laying into me with a furious anger for
revealing your birthday in IRC one night. And I didn't even mention the
century, just the month and day.

The difference being, you butter-brained drug-addled twit, that I picked
Princess Wei's calendar off the Cheesecake Calendar, where she published it
for all and sundry to see.

Whereas YOU wheedled my birthday out of me, making many promises not to
tell ANYONE, and then promptly turned around and told EVERYONE.

I hope that nobody here has ever told Reverend Stang anything in
confidence, because Stang, gosh, he just might FORGET he swore to never
repeat what you told him, because even if telling your secrets wouldn't be
funny, YOUR reaction would be.

"Humor is how you demonstrate that you don't care about pain." - and a
corollary is, one way to prove how funny you are is to CAUSE PAIN and
LAUGH.

Your association with Connie? Teehee.

Been with her since 1966 - just before Rhyee returned to the Plane of Essence in
Jan. '67. Whither Isis then?
