There’s no reason
to ever go to Bangor.
Stephen King is coming to Broadway!

You make me want to be smarter.
You make Steven Segal look like Vin Diesel
“Demolition Man” was almost as bad as “Judge Dredd”
but not as bad as “Rambo” or “The Expendables.”
I laughed when SNL’s “Dog Show” featured
a poodle named Rocky Balboa.
I love that my high school students don’t remember:
“Stop or My Mom Will Shoot.”
(Poor Estelle)
Why glorify your life with “blood and guts?”
Somehow making movies with “tits and ass”seems
more respectable. Why couldn’t you be a good, talented
Italian actor like that Al Pacino or Paul Giamatti.
(I bet that Paul makes his mother proud.
Did you see Barney’s Version?)
Sylvester, I will forever cringe when I hear the name “Adrienne.”

What is the big deal
about a horse-head in a bed?
I’ve seen scarier things on the subway.
Don Corleon’s got nothing
on The Dude, Ricky Bobby
or Lieutenant Frank Drebin.
Mark Wahlberg is a scarier
hit-man. I’ve seen scarier mustaches
in James Bond movies,
and tougher men
in the aisles of Fairway.
I’d rather watch a marathon of Star Wars.
– Scratch that – I’d rather watch
the prequels to Star Wars.

No one cares, Piggy.
Find your own way out.
Transportation can be unreliable.
Boys will be boys.

There is nothing deserving in you.
No great taste or color. You are
putrid, in the way that puke is
putrid. Your spice and scents are
ill-natured. My hot dog shuns you.
My corned-beef shuns you. Even, I, shun you.
You are not allowed in my kitchen.
I don’t care who might someday
crave your stench. I forbid you cross this
threshold. Mustard, you disgrace
the name of Seeds everywhere.
You disgrace all the fairies of
Midsummer Night’s Dream.
