Sometimes a Great Notion
Recently I discovered what appears to be the nascent plans for a musical entitled "Gone Blogin’." The find has generated much excitement here at the offices of The Sub-Cranial Cavern, mostly due to its mysterious origins, it was in my pocket, and its physical nature, it is a cocktail napkin. The artifact was immediately turned over to our archeological desk were it was declared indecipherable. There the napkin languished for some time until happenstance brought it to the attention of a grade school teacher whose specialized training allowed the child-like etchings to be translated into modern English. As soon as we are able to safely scan the artifact we will present the original, until then please feel free to peruse the following barely edited transcription of the napkins contents. What it says about the mind, or minds, that generated it I leave to the reader’s interpretive abilities.
Editor's note: In light of the recently expressed concerns of some of our readership the content of the napkin has been irremediably obfuscated through the use of an online translator.

Yo dude. You can't put all those ideas on the net!!! I'm not even joking. I know folks who have had stuff stolen that way. And trust me, it sucks to see some one else make it big off your ideas. My mom had an entire show stolen verbatim once. I know it sounds paranoid and makes the post less funny, but *poof* goes the ideas... you'll thank me in the end!

If anyone can make it big by ripping off that post than god bless 'em.

Well, I plan on making it big off of that post, and trust me that the theater and movie worlds are not filled with creativity. People have made it big off of far shittier ideas. When's the last time you've seen a movie or play that didn't resemble something you'd seen a thousand times before? And I live in that world. If I tell you something's valuable in that world, I'm not bullshiting you; it's cause I know what I'm talking about. And there are DEFINITELY people who read my blog who would be extremely interested in tons of those ideas. And they could definitely write the songs much faster than me. And, quite frankly, if it were one of my ideas that they pouched I would be pissed off! It's intellectual property; and by the way, your ideas are brilliant and you are taking yourself for granted. And furthermore, some of the ideas for songs on there, I worked on prior to our discussion! I joke around all the time. But now I'm being serious. That's cause it's worth it.

Provided they haven't been stolen before now, I think we can count our ideas safe. (Imagine a winking smily face emoticon in this space)

That translation is some hysterical stuff! And by the way, two people (both theater folks) wrote me emails saying that they thought the ideas were awesome and obviously none of that stuff could have been written by me. Which means two things: 1) They have bad taste and 2) Your readership has increased by 2!!!
