Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

They managed to screw up my lunch.

I asked for a tuna salad sandwich.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Al Franken's on the Senate Judiciary Committee, huh? It's an interesting world.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Tropes that are specific to Speculative Fiction, encompassing Science Fiction, Fantasy, and everything in between...

Quite a lot of stuff there....

This is one of the classic coming-out of-coma/back-from-a-deserted island/returned-by-the-aliens "You have got to be shitting me!" moments. Stuart Smalley is on the Senate Judiciary Committee.

"OK, you almost had me going there with the black President thing, and that Ah-nahld is governor of California, but Al Franken in congress? Get the fuck outta here!"

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

The TV tropes site suffers from the idea that everything is important. I don't think Aragorn sharpening his sword is actually a trope subversion. It's a guy sharpening his sword. Everyone wants a word in edgewise.

Huh. I didn't even realize what I linked to was a subset of tvtropes.org. That's what I get for not looking at the url or page headers....

Pinocchio: Vampire Slayer

After seeing Geppetto die at the hands of vampires, Pinocchio swears revenge in this darkly funny graphic novel. As the vampires plot the enslavement of mankind, only a one-puppet army stands in their way. But will a wooden boy and his endless supply of stakes—courtesy of plenty of lies and his elongating nose—be enough to save the day?
