Genesis of a one liner

[davidlubar]

Twitter is currently down, so I can't post the one liner I just came up with.  Instead, I figured I'd use this space to show the thoughts that led to the joke.  It started when I saw, on Facebook, that Mick Jagger just turned 69.  The post included a picture.  Skipping over the first glimmer of the sort of tasteless response that generally rises

*snerk* You always crack me up.

I recently reread Invasion of the Road Weenies and Barry Yourgrau's Nastybook, and just had to tell you how much you've inspired me. Each time I read a book by yourself or Yourgrau, I end up getting all sorts of crazy ideas in a similar vein.

So I've decided to try my hand at your genre. No permanently, or even full-timely, but just for fun. I have a little plastic folder full of post-its with one or two ideas on each.

I've labeled it "Lubars."

Cool. I'm flattered.

Mick Jagger - 69! Unbelievable, time is really running fast!

The scary thing is, my first thought is how to turn desiccated bologna into something edible. After all, they get big bucks for Serrano ham.

Good point. I don't want to make a change purse out of a sow's rear.
