The Randomizer would be a good name for a superhero. Or maybe a villain.
You'd never know.
Dawn: I think a date should be in a real fancy restaurant, then champagne at a night club with a floor show, then ballroom dancing. Joyce: Unfortunately, we're not dating in a movie from the thirties.

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

Every time I see the words Oort Cloud, I think of Anne McCaffery and wish we rode dragons.
Hah! I just reread all those. I want a dragon. Or to be a Harper. But nsm thread.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I think The Randomizer would get different superpowers at random times. Also, gender.

There are a million stories in that idea alone.

Also, The Randomizer could randomly mess with people's memories. Like your memory of eating at McDonnalds for lunch yesterday would be replaced with a memory of killing and eating an ostrich.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
Personally, I think that's where missing socks go.
I think javachik has established that missing socks are buried in her garden.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
Hm, according to Wikipedia, famous alumni from my high school: Gene Pitney (music guy in the 50s and 60s), Bill Romanowski (former football dude, which I vaguely remember knowing at the time), and Mark Warner, former Governor and current Senator for Virgina!
Also Charles Ethan Porter, an African American still life painter.
Black people in Vernon? And in the late 19th century!? I am surprised.

My college has a lot of famous people though. Spaulding Gray, Jennifer Coolidge, David Cross, Dennis Leary, Norman Lear, Henry Winkler (who spoke at my college commencement!)...
