Five ideas I had when I was 14

Sunday, August 31st, 2003
  1. My best friend, John Patten, and I should live in a fanciful treehouse with our future wives and a menagerie of mostly wild animals
  2. There should be a national system where everyone has to get a permanent identifying mark so the police know who they are (my paternal grandmother informs this is fascism and that it’s historically been frowned upon in the US)
  3. People should give me a TV show where I can talk to all of my favorite performers from a variety of media. Early guests were slated to include John Schneider, Blackjack Mulligan Jr. (nee “Barry Windham”), and Devo.
  4. Diane Lane (or possibly Jill Whelan) should kiss me deeply and often
  5. I should be allowed to play Tic-Tac-Dough for money, from my home, since I got so many of the questions right every night.
