Happy Valentine's
The writer's strike is over
Here's John Lennon's song.
Translated: (1) Happy (early) Valentine's Day, (2) the Writer's Guild strike is (essentially) over, and (3) moving on to the realm unresolved global/human issues, here's John Lennon's "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)":
Chess master Fischer
Mr. International
Dead at 64.
Anyhow, if you remember the book and/or the movie Searching for Bobby Fischer (I don't), apparently it had something to do with someone considered the next Bobby Fischer...like how Hilary Swank succeeded Ralph Macchio as The Next Karate Kid. Classy.
But if you're literally searching for Mr. Fischer, you'll have to go old school for this adventure. Do I hear epic adventure? Here's how:
1. Go to the banks of the River Styx. You might try one of the following Stygian rivers:
2. Choose a Ferryman. Most people expect to ride with Charon (the one on the far left), but he's much too expensive for most people. On the plus side, Charon serves Louis XIII cognac on his boat.
5. Good luck. Well this shaggy dog story went nowhere... Jay Leno's decision to write his own monologues falls in a dark gray area of the WGA strike, but Conan O'Brien seems to go the lighter gray route by ad libbing in a quasi-reality show fashion:
Because of the writer's strike, we'll miss broadcast TV sketch comedies and late night comedy bits that make fun of Britney Spears being pulled around on a stretcher.
