The Hindsight Zone

Hack got a huge thrill when a professor of classical theater dropped by the Shakey’s Pizza where Hack works as a night janitor and when he told the Ph.D. about the plot of this novel, the learned man responded that it was “a concept of Aeschylean density.”

Hack didn’t have the heart to tell him that he wrote it in honor of National Masturbation Day.

The African Jack

Hack was watching the Humphrey Bogart/Katharine Hepburn classic The African Queen this weekend and, while he liked it well enough, he thought it could have been greatly improved by the inclusion of several graphic sex scenes (rare for 1951 major studio releases). When he learned that today was Ms. Hepburn’s birthday, he decided to right the wrong by rewriting the story to his perverse specifications (making just enough changes to avoid yet another plagiarism suit).

I hate to admit it, but it’s a lot better than the original.
