1. The cover of the Herald featured Seung Cho with two guns and said EVIL AIMS in giganterous letters. They made a pun about it, and not even a good one. See, I think people do make jokes about things like this, but it takes a special talent to make them good, and he's dead, so we're left with macros like CHO RLY and Herald-style puns.
2. Speaking of Cho, he seems quite insane. Really, it's the kind of thing that would be funny if it wasn't so tragic.
3. I finally gave the WEG and Mono and Elf Fatima to Shayna and Ellen. Ellen is a noteworthy name for two reasons. Firstly, Pete and Pete. Secondly, there's an Eyeless in Gaza song called To Ellen.
4. Laurie wanted something. I suggested getting some giraffes, riding them, and then storming the kitchen with lily petals. I suggested that yesterday too, with different things, and someone asked where you get lily petals. Uh, from lilies? Where do you THINK they come from, under cabbage leaves?
LAURIE: You get lily petals from apple trees!
5. Rich said his friend managed to make up a rumor about someone being tabletopped by a midget. Nothing sexual, just someone standing on all fours, and then someone else being pushed by a third other person, and stumbling over the someone on all fours. See, you get the image in your head.
I'm still picturing Kristi falling over a midget.
6. Once, when I was taking The Art of Caricature at the Art Institute of Boston when I was still in high school, the teacher brought in a book with some caricatures of Hitler clones helping little old ladies cross the street and doing ballet.
Rich said that since he still had the mustache, he'd be fulfilling his destiny.
7. Which led to his idea of a blend of surrealism and grindhouse. Two armies of Hitler clones fight, and there's a King Hitler, who is the reanimated corpse of the real Hitler. It could be called War of the Hitlers or Hitler X or Hitler 2000.
8. Everybody's been in spaaaaaaaaaaace.
There's a band called God is an Astronaut and a song called I Want To Be A Cosmonaut, which I'm going to look for. I can't imagine what it would sound like.
Anyway, Rich asked what the difference between an astronaut and a cosmonaut was, and if they're both going into space, why aren't they called the same thing? I guess it's because they're different languages. Although astro means star and cosmos means universe.
RICH: So, astronauts only go to stars, while cosmonauts just go everywhere?
That's why the guy wants to be a cosmonaut, I guess.
9. Mike says that Richard McBeef would make a good band name.
10. He then stabbed Matt's fortune telling flower thingy with a pencil because it sucked (his words) and Lauren got some kind of fortune about a mustache.
Both of them said the giraffe idea was good.
11. Pesto has hijacked my brain.
12. The school is putting on a play called Revenge of the Space Pandas, along with another one that features Ronald McDonald in a coffin. I think it's called MacBeef, of all things. I know one of the people involved. She's half-Korean, of all things.
