Oppressive kings, man.

I am now working on the script for SAMSON, where Samson raises a gritty, ragtag army of underdogs with his quirky but lovable sidekick to fight against an oppressive king. It will include a training montage featuring the jawbone of an ass.

Then I will work on the script for DAVID AND GOLIATH, where David raises a gritty, ragtag army of underdogs with his quirky but lovable sidekick to fight against an oppressive king. It will include a training montage featuring a slingshot.

After that, KING ARTHUR, where Arthur raises a gritty, ragtag army of underdogs with his quirky but lovable sidekick to fight against an oppressive king. It will include a training montage featuring a sword pulled from a stone.

Finally, LYCAON, where King Lycaon raises a gritty, ragtag army of underdogs with his quirky but lovable sidekick to fight…

Wait. Lycaon WAS the oppressive king. Never mind.

Suddenly… SALAD!

I went to the store today and on the shelves was a product called Suddenly Salad.

I don’t know if I like the sound of that. It could be apocalyptic.

I am imagining the bloody, stunned survivors. They never saw it coming. They never suspected a thing.

“I was just standing there, minding my own business, and then.. suddenly, salad! Salad everywhere! Tossed, chopped! Smothered in croutons! Oh, the greenery!”

On the lookout

At the top of the hour, the broadcaster said “We’re looking for thunder today.”

And I thought “Really? What does thunder look like, anyway?”
