Family entertainment.

I have an idea for a surefire money maker that would appeal to all ages. It would be an exhibit that allows visitors to walk around and look at people whose bodies had, a long time ago, been trapped in a glacier.

Particularly princesses. With their bright pink dresses still visible through the blue, frozen haze. Caught like a snapshot in time, their eyes milky, their bejeweled hands outstretched as though, at the moment of their demise, they thought they could claw their way back to life.

I’d call it “Disney On Ice.”

I’ll say it again: I love you.

I’m sorry, though, if this brilliance came to you in a nightmare. Princesses and clowns are rowing the same boat, or wielding the same machete, these days.

oh that’s much better than my Disney on Ice idea, which involved dwarves and meth.  The concept of hordes of giant toothless pantomime little people begging for change and robbing convenience stores does have a certain appeal, but I think yours might be more commercial.

I’m still retaining rights to “Loony Tunes on Shrooms,” though.

I was at a sushi place on Potrero Hill a few weeks ago. One of their special rolls was called “Finding Nemo.” It was delicious.

I like the way your brain works.

The idea’s both funny and brilliant. We’d have lots of time to scrutinize these princesses--their looks, gowns, jewels, and what make them different from the ordinary people--while they’re trapped in glacier.

That is hilarious. Also a bit creepy at the same time. But, very much interesting I’d have to say. Ice is makes beautiful art!

The idea I think seems interesting. It’s another good idea on how people catching their attention. I’ll try to make it here….

Yes, but wouldn’t this exhibit only be temporary, until all of the glaciers melt?  Sorry to rain on your brilliant idea.

Brilliant! I recently wrote about my birth control advent calendar, where you get a piece of chocolate with your pill, but I can see your idea being marketed to the younger crowd.

I just got new glasses, causing me to misread that first line as “a sure-fire monkey maker.”

Yours makes more sense.
