Randy Milholland, of Something Positive fame (if fame is the right word), has a new comic:Midnight Macabre - Updating Monday Through Friday. It's set in 1981 and it'a about a young guy taking over a local TV station's late night hosted horror movie show (think Elvira, or SCTV's Count Floyd) when the old host dies on air. So far it's mostly set-up, but the real reason I bring it up is today's blog comment by Randy, apropos of publicists:
I want a publicist so I'll have someone to make things up for me. "Mr. Milholland was, of course, only kidding when he punched the reporter's child in the forehead and then had sexual relations with that piano. And, of course, it was completely an inside joke when my client hamstringed Noam Chomsky and pulled him into an alley way to feast upon the good professor's leathery flesh."
No idea what brought Chomsky to his mind in this context, but I bet that's a rarer1 sentence than "Colorless green ideas sleep furiously."
