Donkey Business
Today is the anniversary of the death of one of Hack’s heroes, the great Groucho Marx. It inspired him to write this book in tribute to the Marx Brothers. It’s not a bad read, but most critics thought it would have been better if he had left Zeppo in.
Lifedoor
Happy heavenly birthday to the great Alfred Hitchcock!
Hack’s favorite Hitchcock film is the 1944 classic Lifeboat. He wrote this as a tribute to that film but he got confused midway into writing it and made it a tribute to the 1997 classic Titanic. It wound up being a ripoff of both films but it’s not a bad read.

Happy birthday to the great Pamela Anderson!

Happy first day of summer! Be CAREFUL out there!
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.
