I just saw the summer feel-good foodie movie Julie + Julia (damn blogger won't let me use an ampersand; even Vana White uses ampersands! Blogger, you are officially less classy than Wheel of Fortune). The title character Julie, by associating herself with the world renowned Julia (Child...no relation to perennial/alcoholic Knick point guard Chris Childs...shouldn't it be Chris Children?), is able to maintain a thriving blog where she had thousands of fans who left her dozens of comments per entry. (Ahem, ahem. Leave me comments. I know there are people out there reading this; they tell me so in the real world. But I don't care about the real world. That's why I blog. Tell me online by leaving a comment. The silence is killing me!) Her blog ultimately leads her down a path of success, celebrity, a bestseller, a feature film, a cocaine addiction, a failed marriage and burnt down house, a run-in with the law for soliciting prostitutes, and eventually an obligatory meteoric rise back to the top. I can only dream of such heights.So to emulate Julie, and to catapult The Get Down upwards, I'm considering changing the title to associate myself with something or someone awesome. Here are my top choices so far:
Brown + Braun (as in the electric shaver)
Brown + Brawny (as in the paper towels)
Brown + Sienna (as in the popular crayon choice for people of color skin tones)
Brown + Brown v. Board (as in the ever popular Supreme Court case that ended school segregation, or something like that)Brown + Brow (as in that hairy bush resting above your eye; whether high or low brow is up for debate, but considering I use the words "poop" and "testicle" consecutively in the About Me portion of this blog, I'm leaning towards high.)
Boogie + Booger (as in America's favorite nose candy)
Boogie + Boogia (this one will have to wait until someone named Boogia cures cancer)
Boogie + Bookie (as in the guy who takes your money for every Monday Night Football game)
Boogie + Boobie (as in the universally preferred vessel for milk)
Boogie Brown + Booger Brow (as in that sticky bush resting above your eye, constituted of the accumulation of wet snot...high or low?)
Please vote for the title you want to see! Until then, I will be training Meryl Streep to mimic my colloquial accent and the nasally way I say words like "comeuppance" and "bunghole."
