I also made up a fictional scenario for Slaw! to appear in:
There's this big shopping mall, and there's a zombie apocalypse, so survivors have barricaded themselves in the mall. The problem is there aren't that many people in the mall, so there's not enough business for the various restaurants in the food court. So the various restaurants go to war against each other to fight over the remaining market.
Each food court restaurant would fight in a style based on their restaurant "theme" - for example, the employees of KFC would all dress like Southern colonels, while McDonalds employees would all have giant burgers on their heads.
So it turns out that Slaw! would dominate the other restaurants in this scenario, thanks to their military-style organization.
I think it's a winner, Tom.
What medium do you think? Live-action movie? Animated? Graphic novel?
Happy Birthday, Kristin and Maria!
I found out at 6:45 am that I'd have to leave work at 12 to get Casper because the schools are closing early because it might maybe snow a little,
Georgia school administrators have been twitchy about snow since Snowjam in '82. Little-to-no snow was predicted, and then in mid afternoon we got about six inches in an hour or so and the city became one giant traffic accident. There were children stuck on cold buses for up to six hours. (I was working at Emory at the time, and while I have a basic grasp of driving in snow, that doesn't help if no one else does. Once I realized there was at least one wreck at every exit to the campus, I managed to find a parking space and spent the night in my office.)
Chicago O'Hare to Build Runway on Cemetery Land
And the sequel to
Poltergeist
just writes itself....
Eh, I'm not criticizing the state for canceling. I think it will snow a little, and any snow at all = insanity on the roads. The kids will be happy. It's just a scramble to cover stuff at work and a logistical hassle.
Is anybody excited about the Olympics? I am planning to force my family to watch the opening ceremonies, so I hope they are good. (Not that anything could ever top Beijing.)
I'm excited about the Olympics, I need to clear off my DVR and find a schedule for when things are going to be on so I can start recording and watching stuff. I can't say I have a favorite sport because I like to watch most of them.
Oh btw, there's an article on Yahoo about ice dancer siblings that were born in the US and now skate for other countries, their mother is Japanese and two have dual citizenship and skate for Japan and the other became a citizen of Georgia to skate with her partner who is Georgian. Do not read the comments whatever you do, it's full of people saying that the 2 skaters should have their US citizenship revoked and be kicked out of the country for representing a team other than the US.
