Pinewoods 4: Lager-Man!
Jul. 23rd, 2004 02:06 amI was on the camp house porch, trying to remember the first line of Weird Al's Bob, which is a Bob Dylan style parody consisting entirely of rhyming palindromes. I remembered the first half, "I, man, am regal," so MyS and Andy suggested I write it out, then just copy it over backwards.
This led to "I, man, am regal—Lager-Man am I!" which didn't sound right. Then Andy pointed out that you don't actually need to double the middle L, which gives you "I, man, am regal—a German am I!" (Which, really, is the same thing.) But from then on MyS kept referring to me as "Lager-Man." Which was funny, particularly when she just burst out laughing and pointed at me, sputtering, "Lager-Man!"
We also worked out the premise for a sitcom starring Guy, cute Canadian, target of MyS-crush, Clark Kent lookalike. It would be called You and Me and a Guy Named Guy, and the American couple living with Guy would keep finding their mayonnaise had run out because Guy was using it on his fries, and so on. The opening credits would involve "you and me" opening the front door while Guy opened an interior door, so they'd bump into each other and make patiently amused faces and shake their heads endearingly.
Also, there were a lot of jokes about rocks, but on the main they weren't as funny as You and Me and a Guy Named Guy. Which is saying something.
