A sign at my ole school’s library says “Once you learn to read, you will forever be free.” That’s cute and pretty awesome at the same time.
HOLY SHIT. WHAT DID I JUST READ.
This book I’m studying Geronimo Stilton: The Phantom Of The Subway has the opening:
“I woke up with a start.
Pheew, It was only a dream! That’s right. I was safe and sound in my bed. My ears weren’t RINGING. But the phone was. I picked it up.
“Hello, Geronimo Stilton squeaking.”
I f'ing laughed, hard, at that last line. It took me for a complete spin. Now I know I’m in for a good read for the next ten minutes before the library kicks me out for making too much noise/gurgling sounds.

I WROTE SOMETHING (now what do I do?)
[This is an idea I have for an episode of Bibleman. This some of what I have written]
Life's Constant Barrage
This is about fear.
A teacher is using the unconditional stimulus (UCS) method to create a natural, unconditional response (UCR), fear of Christians and Christianity. As far as I know this kind of conditioning works on children who are less than a year old by placing the object they are suppose to fear in front of them, lets say a cross, and illiciting an ill reaction whenever that object is around, for example: a clanging of a metal bar with a hammer close to the child. This natural needs to be put to a stop, hence Bibleman's intervention.
Fight Scene-wise:
Has indotrinated students as far back as the 80s and 70s. So now they are fully formed warriors of fear for him to utilize against Bibleman. A Juliard-esque graduate with the best fencing capabilities of her class who can out fight Bibleman and his crew in a swordmatch. (BM uses verses about overcoming fear to either persuade them, weaken them, and in some cases distract them from fighting) She has students herself who she castisizes in front of BM and while they fight. ("Quit pretending to be Errol Flynn and aim for HIM not his SWORD!")
That may cover it, but just for the heck of it some throwaway ideas:
He has various sports teams of fighting squads under his wings (of fear). Such as
Wrestlers, Basketballers, Lacross-ers, Equestrians, Rugby players (exchange students from England)
He doesn't fight himself. He’s like the Emperor in Star Wars (Think Empire Strikes back and strike everything else out of memory).
He’s hard to defeat and confront seeing as he has been planning from the 1970s to meet his goals.
His alter-ego is a likable history teacher with few misgivings.
His appearance as a teacher is drastically different to the appearance he has as an evil mastermind. (which should lead to him having a shape shifting device of sorts, maybe one of the appearances is how he wished he looked and one is what he has been stuck with. Not sure which way to go there. It would be more interesting, and very Norman Osborn-y, for the teacher mask to be his real face and the supervillian mask to be the one only HE acknowledges as his true face.
Has many agents of fear. They could be anyone and everywhere…even unbeknownst to themselves. Oooooo, maybe it’s one of Bibleman’s squad! Too soon to tell though.
Opens with a flashback.
A child is scared. Screaming. Attempting to hide in an enclosed black room. His greatest fear is on the other side of the room: a small somewhat ornate wooden cross with a figure of a child kneeling, eyes closed, with a chalice in his hand. A comforting voice is heard telling the child to “Don’t be afraid. Papa’s here.”
The Story, proper, ensues with Bibleman and the crew going through their usual motions of modus operandi with a villain from their rogues gallery.

Have heard of the Benjiman? No. Well, that's fine.
I wish I was recording this conversation I'm having with Benji.
Benji is my cousin. He doesn't have a job right now. But he's a stand-up comedian so can you blame him?
He's big in Palaskey...Palassky...P-Town, Tennessee ( a border-town between Tennessee and Alabama), apparently, and has a youtube video (jeez who doesn't?).
We're talking.
I'm talking about my point of view of stand-up (or more precisely Patton Oswalt's and mine).
Benji mentions how some audience (namely the KKK) probably wouldn't like his riffs and stories.
Benji didn't say that...maybe.
Benji says how he feels confident in his abilities in everyway. He says he's "deep with my comedy". He's funny now.
Now he's not.
Dammit Benji. No one wants to hear about girlfriend-sex from you!
