Upon further consideration, it wasn't a new idea. Probably barely qualified as an idea at all.

The mother the father and the son.

The set up. The conflict. The resolution. All stories follow this three act structure.

Per example:

Setup:
I woke up the other morning..............

Indeed: a penis and two gonads. Just another example. Don't get overexcited.

BTM2 would not understand that, nor could he scale it. BTM1 may have been able to, but he disappeared in a dense fog off the Irish coast years ago. RIP.

Chez could fill in. But he is never sober.

Serious question:

For my entire life I've heard about the massive wildfires every summer in California and I'm wondering, after all of these years, how there is anything left to catch on fire?

I thought that it took quite a while for a forest to grow large enough to create a massive fire after it'd already burned to the ground once, say 20 years ago. But I am obviously wrong considering that this happens every year. This time they've hit the trifecta: fires, rolling black-outs and a plague. GG, Cali.

Damn, a reasonable explanation. Id've preferred more of an 'end of times' reply but that will have to wait until the 'dent' in the magnetic field threatens to fry us all.

Most hate reasoning and reasonable explanations; they are usually too mundane and non sensational. As you noted. Amp up the quixotic and drive the masses into a frenzy is the ongoing theme. Makes them all the easier to manipulate.

I took a cab today to a hotel in Laredo, TX (small city on the border of Mexico). On the way, I asked the driver (who had apologized for his poor English, despite speaking it pretty well) what restaurants are good around here.

He said Olive Garden and Applebee's.
