Shared Pain Is Lessened

I was going to try to keep this to myself, honest, but it's been rattling around my head so much lately that I need to just get it out. And potentially into the hands of people who can make more use of it (I'm looking at you, filkertom).....

So at dinner with a couple of friends the other day, we were talking about people who are Cooler Than You. No matter who You happen to be. And the two people we came up with were Julia Child and Johny Cash. This, of course, led me to think of just how overwhelmingly, earth-shatteringly cool their potential babies would be - and, since that can never happen now, of other ways to combine them and their coolness.

You do realize, of course, that this means fusion songs. "I Wok The Line" is my current favorite....

(Yes, I know French cooking doesn't typically use woks. Creative license.)'

"A Chef Named Sue."

Hell, some of the titles don't even need adjustment. "Ring of Fire," for example.

Too true

I would love to eat "The Orange Blossom Special" for example.

Hey, you coming back to Arisia next year? I was figuring on seeing you at OVFF, but you said you wouldn't be there.... :(

I'm strongly considering it.

Yeah...can't really vanish from school for a weekend right now. Too many plates spinning. Maybe next year.

There used to be a filk of "Ring of Fire" which featured a bad vindaloo.
Just as well Julia didn't do Indian food much :D

And you're absolutely right -- they will always be coolest.

"I baked a flan in Reno, just to watch them sigh..."

"What have I baked now
My sweetest bread
every dish I know
is clean at the end
and if you eat it all
even with your girth
i will put you down
i will make you hurt"

Ah the Folsom Kitchen Blues, "when I hear the timer ringing I hang my head and cry.

And every girl
From there to Austin
Was slippin' away from home
And puttin' jewelry in hock.
To take a trip
To go and sizzle
With that little dark haired boy
Who played the Tennessee flat-top wok.

Thank you, thank you, I'll be here all week.

That is a terrible pun. You should be proud of yourself.
