My friend Peter’s cynical and cruel remark about poor Bobby Gentry’s song on my entry on the third of June put me in mind of another series of activities with appropiate names based on the arts and literature.
Taking the ball directly from Peter, what about;
The Tallahatchie Ridge Bungie Jumping Experience.
Here are some more from my twisted brain:
The Anna Karenina Train Spotting Society.
The Ophelia School of (Flower Arranging and) Brook Swimming
The Isadora Duncan Silk Scarf Manufacturing Company
(Stay Stuck when Others Give Up)
or even
Wing Making for Dummies by Icarus

on June 5, 2010Hi Martin,
What about “Who Wants To Be A Milliner”, a gameshow presented by famous Irish hat-maker Philip Treacy?

on June 6, 2010I have to try a few of these:
The Polonius Curtain Making Company
The Godot Self-Help Programme on Overcoming Procrastination
The Macbeth King-Size Bed guarantees a long sleep.
But hey – what’s this about calling me cruel and cynical? I’m not the one who wished one and all a HAPPY Billy Joe MacAllister Day! – the poor guy jumped off a bridge AND lost out on Bobbie Gentry, and you ask us to be all happy-clappy about that! Huh.
