I just got the aforementioned book in the mail and, based strictly on the title, am very excited to read it.However, in the shower this evening, I thought of a number of alternative titles.
"A Rump-shaking Session of Ridiculous Proportions"
"A Long-winded Man of Peculiar Sensibilities."
"A Wind-breaking Scent of Tantalizing Pungence"
"A Mind-searing Verse Done Medium Rare" -- (I had a nice steak for dinner)
"A Self-Centered Post of Extreme Callowness"
"A Pumpkin Bread of Great Worth" -- (sort of like the Pearl of Great Price)
"A Curiosity Stained Shirt of Banana Republic Middle America-dom"
Now I am just not even trying....I think for my next career, after pro-surfer, business magnate, and President of the United States, I think I would like to be a writer. I want someone to say of my writing:
"Heartbreaking? Certainly. Staggering? Yes...And if genius is capturing the universal in a fresh and memorable way, call it that too."
Rump-shaking? Certainly. Medium? Yes...And if callowness is capturing the universal in a fresh and memorable way, call it that too.
ReplyDeleteYou said you'd let me have writer if I let you have President of the United States. Back off man.
