Sure overused themes in fantasy lit are annoying. But bad overused things in fantasy are great in real life. Try re-naming things in your house or apartment in bad fantasy style.
The Dishwasher of Doom.
The Hallway of Everlasting Madness.
The Bathroom of Despair.
Adds a little spice to life.
And on the Prince Planet note, you have to love shows that name characters to fit their roles. The Worthy family = good guys. Sylvester Sleaze = bad guy. It saves you needless character development and exploration…
Thanks John, that Warp Factor Love video is……scary. Is that guy going to kiss himself?
Now, which song should I listen to to remove WFL from my brain?
The Hoff?
Bilbo?
Hobbits to Isengard?
I can’t decide which is worse/better.
The video reinforces the reason that some folks are not allowed to be on TV – they are scary. As for top videos – Hobbits to Isengard is it for me.. I think of it as my theme music :-@
