Oh, Boy! The Stupor Bowl!

40+ Deflated American Football Stock Photos, Pictures ...

Have I just become better at ignoring it, or is this year’s Stupor Bowl not devouring our culture like it usually does?

Ah! I didn’t get where I am today without knowing that the Addis Ababa Weevils are going to face the Jersey City Scavemgers in Stupor Bowl LXIVI (or whatever it is) at Hotashell Sports Area in Nevada somewhere.

The Weevils had an undefeated season. In fact, most of the teams in the National Football League would rather give up football than ever play the Weevils again.

The Scavengers were only 2-14 on the year, but it’s hard to say “no” to people who will blow up your car–with you in it–if they don’t get what they want.

And don’t forget the Halftime Show! This year’s version, featuring performers you never heard of, is expected to use up 1 hour and 50 minutes of your lives! And then there are the Stupor Bowl commercials. At $70 million for 30 seconds’ air time, push the product like your life depends on it! And who knows, maybe it does.

The broadcast, already in progress, is expected to last till Doomsday.

‘How Not to Write Dialogue’ (2014)

I’ll have more to say about this later. Literary crimes are being perpetrated today that hadn’t been invented yet in 2014.

How Not to Write Dialogue

I think back to those days when literary agents and editors used to keelhaul new writers for even the slightest lapses in style and grammar–while at the same time, publishing stuff that was barely recognizeable as English.

If you can’t talk intelligently, you can’t think intelligently.

The prosecution rests, your honor.

Liquidator-ready Star Wars merchandise!

Yowsah, yowsah! The Star of Bethlehem–why, it was a spaceship! Ooga-booga!

Those spoilsports who said science fiction would rot your mind… Maybe they weren’t so far wrong, after all. Like for instance:

Hey! Has there been yet another Star Wars movie since I wrote this? I’ve lost count. Now that I’m no longer a liquidator, I’ve lost any reason I had for keeping track of Star Wars movies.
