A group of poets were discussing ways to be on the cutting edge of new fiction, when one of them came up with the idea of rewriting classics word for word, but inserting the word black into them, thus COMPLETELY changing the tone/perspective of the book. His original idea: Do Black Androids Dream of Electric Black Sheep.
So, Jim and I have been spending the evening coming up with other books that would be forever change by the addition of that one word: Mein Black Kampf Their Black Eyes Were Watching God Something Wicked Black This Way Comes Skinny Black Legs And All Even Black Cowgirls Get The Blues Little Black Women The Black Things The Carried The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Black Galaxy So Long, And Thanks For All The Black Fish I Know Why The Black Caged Bird Sings Heart Of Darkness The Autobiography of Black Malcolm X Dreams Of My Black Father To Kill A Black Mockingbird A Series Of Unfortunate Black Events I Did It Black : OJ Confesses The Jungle Book Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Black Secrets Harry Potter And The Half Blood Black Prince Men Are From Mars, Black Women Are From Venus His Dark Materials The Illustrated Black Man The Five Black People You Meet In Heaven The Black Great Gatsby The Complete Black Idiot's Guide To Slam Poetry The Dark Tower Uncle Tom's Black Cabin A Black Child's Christmas In Wales Yes, Virginia, There Is A Black Santa Claus Come On Black People: On The Path From Victims To Victors A Black American Werewolf In London Twelve Angry Black Men The Black Communist Manifesto Black On The Road Lord Of the Black Flies Black Beauty The Black Cat In The Hat Choose Your Own Black Adventure Are You There Black God, It's Me Margaret Black Like Me While some of these titles are just amusing, I think some of these books would be very, very interesting. In particular, I'd like to see a scottwoods poem called "Do Black Androids Dream Of Electric Black Sheep?" I mean, I haven't heard a bad Scott Woods poem yet (which doesn't mean they're not out there, just that he, wisely, only shares the good ones more than once), and think he'd come up with something pretty amazing with this title. edited/added from lj users' comments: Moby Black Dick Black Generation X Hope For The Black Flowers Lady Chatterley's Black Lover The Black Bible The Good Black Earth A Black People's History Of The United States Chicago Manual Of Black Style

The Pet Store down the street has a cage full of kittens that they are selling for the price of their shots (they usually don't sell larger animals, but these cats were found in an alley in Allston, so they took them in. I have decided to adopt the mother, because you never know how kittens are going to turn out.
I played with her in the store for a couple weeks, got permission from my landlord, and just brought her home last night. The problem is, I don't want to name her until I get a better read on her personality. So far she seems haunted, and loves to meow and meow and meow whenever I try to sleep. These are the front runners for her name: Bugz (she has them in her brain) Shut The Fuck Up (self-explanatory) Molly (From The Haunting of Molly Hartney) Rosemary (the one with the baby) Regan (Mcneil from The Exorcist) Tupac (suggested as an alternative to a name to appear later) Afeni (which would make her kitten, Tupac) Mia (what they called her in the pet store) For The Love of God Shut The Fuck Up, It' Three O'Clock In The Morning Emily Rose I Want A Refund Maiow Brrrrrrrrrrrraiow Underfoot Selina (as in Kyle, this is the one I'm leaning to at the moment) Are You Seriously Still Maiowing At Me? Mystique Malebolgia Sniffy (aka MADcat from Inspector Gadget) Delia (I had a Koosa named Delia when I was a kid)) Nigger I've also been taking care of one of her kittens at the store, an adorable little martiany thing that I have named Yoda Vader, as she has a huge Yoda head and ears (complete with big tufts growing out of them), but a respiratory infection that makes her sound like His Darthness. The repiratory thing is apparently genetic, and thus, came from her as yet unnamed mother, who now breathes like a normal cat. |
