HELP!

This is a plea for help. I having been casting about for ideas for something to write about. I'm stuck. Does anyone have any ideas? Is there something you would like to read here at SZ, tcob? Do you have any questions or memes? Something silly would be nice, but at this point I'll take anything.

  1. Can you compare and contrast 70's mustache and hair porn with the new, contemporary clean shaved look?

  5. Give me a sec, I'm just googling 'War And Peace' ...
    ... Nope, it's already been done. Sorry, I can't help you.

  6. You know, Pistols At Dawn said in one of my comments that "boobs have always helped me understand the world better."

    What can you do with a statement like THAT??

    OR, try to get Flann to explain the Theology of Grittiness...

  7. SD- This sounds like a fun one. Look for it on Thursday.

    Flan- I got a million of 'em! Look for it on Friday.

    HL- I can work all four suggestions into one article. Look for it on Saturday.

    Cooper- I don't know that I have something on that grand of a scale in me, but for what it is worth, today I started a short story set in the Civil War. That is the American Civil War, not the Canadian one that happened for you in 1981 when you finally shuffled off the shackles of your British overlords. Look for it on Wednesday. It will be dedicated to you, as well as all of your fellow patriotic Canadians.

    Please feel free, all of you, to contribute more ideas. Some weeks I need all the help I can get.

  8. DOC! Why didn't you tell me you'd been loitering and you blogrolled me?! I'm adding you right now!
    I can't stop using exclamation marks!

  9. We appreciate the dedication very much, Doc, it's a neighbourly thing to do ... and as you can see from the "u", there are still a few vestigial shackles to be addressed.

    Hey, how about a "you and "we" piece? You'll be scarfing down some turkey and stuffing next week, at just about the exact time we'll be waiting in 3-hour border lineups, hiding our receipts and wearing our purchases, after spending our heady new dollar at Target.

  10. Cooper- An Article on the Gluttony of Black Friday? I'm might be better suited to camping tales, the history of beer, dirty jokes, and just general tomfoolery. I could turn War and Peace into a fifteen minute skit for John Belushi, Pope John Paul the second, Marie Osmond, Sid Ceaser, Clint Eastwood, Bob Hope, and Ceaser Romero, but I know nothing of sneaking things across the border, without receipts. Nothing of the kind.

    {But just between you and me, I once snuck Cuban cigars into Canadia. Tee Hee! Silly Mounties.}

    I'll make you a deal. You write the story of spending Thanksgiving shopping, and I will write you the above skit. Just to make it interesting, I'll even throw in alligators into the story.

    What do you say Coop?

  11. Tanya Espanya- Welcome, Welcome, Welcome! I have been reading your stuff for several months now. Flannery turned me on to you blog and I followed along for quite some time, but I didn't comment much because Dale beat me to any good zinger that I could have come up with.

    I once quoted you here:

    Love your writing and look forward to the next piece.

  13. how 'bout caption this picture??

    Oh, and you and Flann have me TOTALLY hooked on PopCo, so that means YOU now have to read Intrusions.

  14. OH, BTW, I got the first Vol of th' 1st season of Nero Wolfe.
