Redeployment Is Not An Option

Coming Soon To A Theatre Near You…Maybe

I don’t know if it’s bad blog etiquette to out your lurkers or not, but I just had a twinge of a million dollar fantasy flash before my eyes!  One of my 631 stat trackers came up with a hit for an ISP located at 20th Century Fox! (Cue theme from Rocky. I don’t know if they made it or not, just cue it!)  Can you see it?  Up there on the marquee next summer?  “Nuclear Family Warhead-The Musical”.  I’ve even made a poster mock up so that their PR department can hit the ground running. (You’ll need to click on it to get a clear view, it was a rush job)  Ahhh!  The possibilities are endless!  Private planes, limo rides to the Playboy Mansion for the epic party of the month, fisticuffs with Kid Rock and/or Tommy Lee at said Playboy party, telling TMZ to “GET LOST!” as they capture me walking out of Starbucks before I’ve had a chance to get my make up straight. 

Wait a minute; am I getting ahead of myself here?  What if the reader wasn’t Spielberg or Tarantino, but a gaffer or a key grip?  What if I’m assuming too much?  (Sigh)  I have had people at the Pentagon read my stuff, but as of yet, no 4 star General has called to consult with me on battle plans for Afghanistan.  Someone at Iowa State University reads rather frequently, but no Chancellor’s have called to offer me tenure, university housing and the Deans Chair of the Blogging College.  Yeah, probably just a false alarm.  Nevermind.

    I’m just taking a wild stab in the dark, but, it might be wise to get your tux to the cleaners. Oh, and try it on, make sure the cuffs aren’t too high to show the white socks or look like you’re going crawfishing.

    (NukeDad) You think? God Bless you, Ron. But, whatever happened to business casual? Hmmm.

    Just post a date for opening night so we can stand in line for tickets @ midnight. Who do you think should right the score? I think it should be a comedy, but maybe a tragedy?

    (NukeDad) Anybody other than Danny Elfman. Had enough of his Movie Themes. Let’s call it a “Dramedy” 1/2 Drama, 1/2 Comedy.

    “…With Ted McGinley as Michael’s Daddy.” If you see them make a pick like that, you can be sure it’s direct to video.

    (NukeDad0 HaHa! You’re right, he’s almost as bad as Jeff Bridges. “Ironman” was the first hit he’s had since he had that double back in Little League.

    Pretty impressive, man. NukeDad, The Movie. With a name like that, the movie practically writes itself. Its got to be a Michael Bay film.

    (NukeDad) I don’t know; he’d re-write it 6 times, loose Costner, Pitt and Jolie to other projects and probably bring it in at right around $165 million. We don’t have that kind of budget. Shatner would probably stick around and Stephen King has already been paid. It could work.

    You need to change the date so it opens on July 4th weekend, you know, to compete with Will Smith’s next movie.

    (NukeDad) Oooh, I don’t know; If we tried that we might be at the dollar movie houses in 3 weeks, HBO in a month and a half and on DVD before Halloween! Let me talk to marketing, I’ll get back to you.

    Wow, I’m famous, first time ever I’ve been “outed”. So far ISU doesn’t have a Blogology major but I’ll be sure to put in a good word for you when they do. How much a microbiology student’s word is worth to the english dept I don’t know. A requirement of course is watching “Field of Dreams” enough times so you can deliver the Iowans’ favorite lines ever, “Is this heaven?” “No it’s Iowa!” without snickering nor sounding sarcastic. And of course you would have to buy a “Beat Iowa” shirt to be worn on days there is a game between ISU and UI.

    (NukeDad) Nice to meet you Karen! I thought it was you. ;) I could wear a Cyclones shirt, no problem. Microbiology, huh? You’re either a genius or a glutton for punishment. I’m leaning towards genius. Don’t be a stranger!

    I’m going for a doctorate so for sure it is b) glutton for punishment. Microbiology is really just the fancy way of saying I am paid to play with bacteria, lol.

    (NukeDad) Well, make sure you play nice! Don’t go throwing it on anyone. They did that in the Dark Ages, and look how that Plague thing worked out for them.

    Look what you participated in starting, shame on you ;) .

    My research is on probiotic bacteria, which are the health promoting kind, so on the human side I am playing nice. Given that my current study is putting the cultures through a simulated digestive tract it is not so nice for the poor bugs, least I wouldn’t be too happy with someone frying me with acid and then bile.

    Now back to tinkering on my new blog.

    (NukeDad) Woo Hoo! I converted a reader into a blogger? Great job, Karen! Can’t wait to get over there and read your first post. I’m going to have to stick you under the “Mom’s” tag in the blogroll, but that is fairly accurate, isn’t it? Aren’t you “Mother” to all of your micro-sized bugs? I’m going with it.
