There was an explosion in downtown SF, probably a transformer. Is that violent enough?
Is it an evil transformer? You know, with plans to take over the world -- or at least northern California?
You all gonna be here when I wake up?

The evil is this way?

If I only had a brain...
Hmm. It was next to the Ralph Lauren store, so possibly.

But it's historical bestiality! It's meaningful!
17th c. bestiality: sex and death two distinct parts of the process. 21st c. bestiality: one-stop shopping for sex and death. That's Progress with a capital P.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Not to mention Peritonitis.

What's that R&G are Dead line about "we can give you blood and sex"?

Huh. I just flashed on The Aristocrats. I have no idea why it took so long...

I really meant first American political sex scandal. I'm aware of scarlet letters and such from earlier times. So stop oppressing me. Speaking of, also interesting is David Hackett Fischer's "Albion's Seed."
Narrator's right about the funny clothes and wigs being a thing. Though I understand HBO is doing "John Adams." So maybe some multi-part cable thing could work.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
My agency tells me there's no market for American history in entertainment.
Didn't Matt and Ben do a TV thing of Zinn's People's History? How'd that go?

I think Tim's next Libertarian fiction adaptation should be Elvis Shrugged. I think it's out of print, but it's not hard to find & it's completely excellent. (ETA: Aslan Shrugged. Haven't read it, but I'm sure it will be popular here.)
And Christina Hendricks should be in it. Or whatever Tim's next project is. 'Cause I'm just mad about Saffron.
