Question of the week

Posted by on

I would ask you the questions three but the Gorge of Eternal Peril is getting cramped. So, instead, we will go with this week’s question.

From which form of entertainment do you draw the greatest pleasure?

Personally I love to read a good book, especially one in a series where an intriguing universe is created. My favorite is the Honorverse, created by David Weber, which follows the adventures of the Heroine Honor Harrington. With side series and spin-offs there are over 25 books in the series. Quite a lot of reading but thank God for audio books.

So let us all know what in life you find best. Conan need not reply.

Pitch Meeting: Fighting Trump

Posted by on

May 2019

Iran
So, you have an idea for fighting Trump?

Rouhani Pitching
Yes, sir, I do. We can start with attacking oil tankers in the Gulf of Oman.

Rouhani
That’s not even our gulf. I love it!

Rouhani Pitching
Then we can attack some more in June.

Rouhani
This keeps getting better.

Rouhani Pitching
Then we shoot down a U.S. drone in August, and seize a British tanker.

Rouhani
Wow.

Rouhani Pitching
Then in September, we can attack a Saudi oil facility.

Rouhani
I think I’m in love.

Rouhani Pitching
You know we throw people off roofs for that, right?

Rouhani
Sorry. It’s just that you have a face that … right. Never mind. What else you got? How do we get Trump involved?

Rouhani Pitching
Did I mention that all this time, we keep violating our nuclear agreements?

Rouhani
I think I love you again.

Rouhani Pitching
Sir, I’ll need you to get all the way off my back. Literally.

Rouhani
Sorry.

Rouhani Pitching
Oh, oh, oh, I forgot the best part. We fire rockets into Iraq and try to kill some Americans right after Christmas.

Rouhani
Wouldn’t actually killing an American cause Trump to do something?

Rouhani Pitching
So we lose a couple of dozen allies from Hezbollah. What’s the big deal?

Rouhani
Right. But do we let that stand? I mean, Trump would have shot back. We can’t let it end like that.

Rouhani Pitching
Well, we could attack the U.S. Embassy in Iraq.

Rouhani
Attacking U.S. Embassies is tight. But won’t it be hard to find someone to do all this?

Rouhani Pitching
It’ll be super easy. Barely an inconvenience.

Rouhani
Oh really?

Rouhani Pitching
I’ll just get Qassem Soleimani to do it.

Rouhani
Oh, he’s good. And with him involved in all this here in 2019, I’m sure 2020 will be a blast.
