Three Funny Things

Lately three very funny things have come up that are not really jokes, but somehow ought to be, or they should be skits, or comics, or something:

1. The first, thought of by Hal, is essentially "the tears of Cyclops". If Scott Summers (of the X-men) got really sad, a single tear would burn up a disintegrate as it fell from his laser eyes, leaving a trail of smoke.

2. The second, of my own making, is that I'd like to see the Mouth of Sauron (Return of the King extended edition) doing karaoke. I've always considered karaoke annoying and embarrassing for the person holding the mic, as well as the audience, and I'd really like to see the Mouth of Sauron as an obnoxious karaoke enthusiast. He shows up every Wednesday night, and you can't avoid him - he's like the troll of karaoke, horrifying to be in the same room with yet impossible to avoid.

3. This I came up with last night as Zoe described her parents as never having been hippies. When she once asked her mom if she'd been a hippy in the '60's, her mom said, "I used to kick hippies!" She said her dad probably did the same. I suggested that maybe they met because they were kicking the same hippy, and their eyes met. (The romantic music plays, perhaps Zoe's dad says "Get your own hippy to kick..." which trails off as he falls in love.)
