Some day, some day I will sleep!
So I had a killer idea: a "Choose Your Own Adventure"-type restaurant review. I'll pitch it to my editor to see what he thinks. I think the idea came when I saw a bunch of book cover parodies online at SomethingAwful.com - these things are hilarious!
Today's Forgotten English is the slightly lame "darks," used by smugglers in the early 1800's to refer to nights of the new moon. On these nights, livestock thieves, highwaymen and burglars were especially active - as compared to werewolves under the full moon. At either end of the moon's spectrum, you find predators!
Some day I will sleep - I promise. Yesterday was a CSI repeat that we hadn't seen, which fit my coworker's husband's template perfectly: he asks, "So, what sexual peccadillo do you think they'll explore tonight?" Chubby Chasers, Furries, Transexuals - looks like the ol' CSI crew is running out of cool crimes to investigate and new ways to solve them with the hordes of competitors out there...
Might be worth leaving while you're still remembered for making decent shows, Gillyboy. Shaking up the team with office politics was a lame-duck effort to extend the franchise when the real draws were the crimes and the pseudoscience, not the personalities. (Though Las Vegas has the hottest men, like CSI: Miami has the hottest women.) Let Miami and New York suffocate on their own effluence. Mind you, that hasn't caused the demise of CSI: New York yet.
