| You
ever notice how toward the end of his life, Miles Davis looked
exactly like the Zuni fetish doll from the film Trilogy
of Terror? |

"More
volume on the fucking monitor, Teo!"

Coolio
is the Zsa Zsa Gabor of the 21st century: He doesn't do shit but
he's always hangin' around.

I
ride the train every weekday. I reverse commute, so I'm usually
the only dude in the car. And every morning, the same creepy conductor
saunters over and stands expressionless, waitng for me to show
him my monthly pass. I know who he is and he knows who I am. He
knows damn well that I have a monthly pass. This used to piss
me off, but now I play a game in my mind wherein he's the Vampire
Lord, and I, the vampire killer, turn him away with my holy monthly-pass
crucifix.

Billion Dollar Idea: The YARD-long corndog

If I had my wish, ESPN would run a program showing the
highlights of juvenille delinquents keying SUVs and making their
owners cry.

I
hold the door open for you and you say "Thank you."
No problem. I make it to the next set of doors and hold the door
open for you again. This time you don't say anything. What the
fuck is that?

More
films need to end like Midnight Express. You know, like,
maybe 15 minutes into Julia Roberts' next film, someone could
headbutt her character in the chest and impale HER head on a wooden
peg. Roll credits.

The
movie I'd like to see on the Lifetime television network:
The 5-hour dramatic courtroom epic about a mentally retarded
woman who inherits 12 billion dollars and blows the whole fucking
wad on milk and packing foam.

The
song "Loveshack" makes me need to set something on fire.

Right
now is the quiet time before the new popsong is broadcast wall-to-wall
nationwide and inside your skull for the very first time.

Talking
toys are more interesting when the batteries are low.

Barry
White should get a royalty check everytime a baby is conceived.

I
am absolutely convinced that somewhere in this world, there's a
guy with a music collection composed exclusively of tape recordings
of the transitional music used on NPR.

Just
one time, I'd like to eat in a so-called "hip" restaurant
which brags about how it serves only "the freshest and finest
authentic Canadian cuisine."

Few things are as pitiful as the missed messages on the
answering machine about the thing you just came home from, especially
when the thing you just came home from was totally lame.

I am absolutely convinced that somewhere in this world,
there is a person who sustains his or herself exclusively on food
that is sold door-to-door by children who are trying to raise
money for their school or church or whatever.

Scene
from a film that doesn't exist: In a dim, musky basement of
a decrepit highrise, a creepy, little gray hand reaches out of
a tiny hole from within a walled-off, cinderblock room. It opens
its palm to reveal some surringes.

Billion-Dollar
Idea: A television program that features bleeding, screaming,
swearing robots that stomp the shit out of one another. Stick
with me on this. You see, the point is not simply to win, but
to win with the coolest, goriest, most bizarre robot imaginable.
Try to picture The Presidents Hall of Fame at Disneyworld
combined with Mardis Gras combined with Battlebots combined
with the last 30 minutes of the film Dead Alive. Tune in
and see an anatomically correct Abraham Lincoln use his hydrolic
axe-fists to chop into a 15-foot tall, acid-belching robot mongoose.

I
am absolutely convinced that somewhere in this world, there's
a guy who has all of his bowel movements on videotape.

Greg
Allman, for the love of God, cut your fucking hair!

Set
list from Stevie Wonder's recent benefit performance for people
with an adolescent sense of humor:

Dress Smells Beautiful"

Only Have Eyes For You"

She Lovely? (Seriously, I'd Like to Know)"
- "Love
at First Feel"
- "Eyes
Without a Face"

Vision"
- "I
Can See For Miles"
- "I

Scene
from a film that doesn't exist: At the Greek restaurant, some
ugly kid keeps peeking at our hero over the back of the booth.
He gets tired of this distraction and suddenly tosses the rest
of his coffee at the kid.

Sometimes
the heat makes the make-up on a woman's face look like silly putty.

The
music the couple purchased together matches their couch perfectly.

I
don't wanna spoil the magic, but I'd be interested to hear the
story parents will have to cook up to explain Santa's Christmas
Eve trek 500 years from now when all the kids and their families
are spread throughout the entire friggin' solar system.

People
say that after they've had a big cup of coffee, their whiz smells
like coffee. I think it smells more like Popeye Puffed Wheat breakfast
cereal.

It
would certainly be fascinating if George Thorogood was diagnosed
with osteoporosis.

Whenever I hear Barry Manilow's song "I Write the
Songs," I imagine Barry snorting coke off a 17-year old male
model's naked ass in a mirrored room.

Topic for a High School mid-term exam: Please compare and
contrast the many and varied ways in which George W. Bush resembles
the character "Greg Stillson," the political hothead
who would bring about the apocalypse, as portrayed by Martin Sheen
in the David Cronenberg film, The Dead Zone.

I
don't believe in hell, but sometimes I wish I did. I totally
sympathize with the dude who dreamed that shit up.

True
story: I was eating some soup at a Panera Bread "cafe"
when I noticed the following: the man over there was simultaneously
talking on his cell phone and politely yet sternly complaining
to the spanish-speaking employee about the abscence of the pickle
he had requested. The soundtrack overhead which accompanied this
drama was a smooth-jazz, muzak interpretation of Bob Marley's
popular call to self-empowerment, "Get Up Stand Up."

Which
of our three contestants do you think will win Marlon Brando's
11th Annual Celebrity Pie Eating Contest: Ann Wilson, Aretha
Franklin, or Linda Ronstadt?

3
visions of hell which I find more terrifying than the Biblical
description:
- I'm
trapped for all of eternity in a pitch-black concrete cell that's
a little too warm and a little too humid. The air smells like
the inside of a Burger King, and broadcasting from all directions
is a blarring, endless sound loop of the brass section from
The Village People's "YMCA" butted against the brass
section of Paul Simon's "Call Me Al."
- I
spend all of eternity trapped inside a Toys R Us, sustaining
myself at a level right around starving on whatever nutrients
I can find in the checkout aisles. And, no, I can't just starve
myself to a different version of hell. Why not? Because I can't.
I just can't.
- I'm
stuck inside a television ad for Old Navy. Take your pick--
they're all equally terrifying. And before you start saying,
"Wow! That would be great, spending all of eternity fucking
an immortal Morgan Fairchild!" remember that all of the
standard FCC regulations apply to this particular vision of
hell. All you get is sexual tension, self-aware ironic nostalgia,
and soulless, mannequin-esque beautiful people with the personality
of a dishwasher.

The
trouble with people in the city using hands-free things with their
cell phones is that I can no longer quickly distinguish between
the people who are just walking around, making plans for the weekend
and the people who are just plain fucking nuts.

I'd
pay good money to see Lou Ferigno and Arnold Schwarzenegger faceoff
in a spelling bee.

Remember
back in the early days of Wheel of Fortune when a contestant
would win a round, and then he or she would be forced to quickly
blow the cash on a load of overpriced crap spinning around on
the revolving platter of prizes? I used to watch and hope that
some crazy person would get in there and jack around with all
the prizes before the taping of the show: "Alright, Pat,
let's see. I'll take the framed photo of Robin Gibb's dental records
for $300, the palette of World War Two era canned corned beef
for $1530, and... um... um... let's see... um... oh, and the dandruff-lined
stocking cap from the Union Station lost and found for $750."

Teach the animals to scream and plead for their lives and
the humans will stop eating them.
