Will's Last Good Idea for August, 2026

A faire Sunday morn to Christian reader(s) of the blog except the C of E types. The Presbyterians, too. Oh, and the Methodists. In fact, pretty much all the mainline Protestant denominations. They're a weak, feeble lot. And they don't much like Jews. [You know, you have a long line of Presbyterian preachers on your mum's side. And all that Kentucky heritage is Methodist-Ed] And? 

We told the parking lot guy, a portly young man in a bad uniform and yellow highway jacket, with as much politeness* as we could muster, that the parking lot policy was retarded. 

'The policy is retarded,' we said.

'Well they don't want people parking in the dorm parking lot and unloading their car,' the parking kid said. 

'It's move in day,' we replied. 'Where am I supposed to park. Na, I'm going to park here.'

Anyway, Oldest Daughter is moved into her dorm. 

Will's final good idea for August: A second Korean war, probably alternate history. But it rhymes with the first Korean War. US/South Korea defeats the Norks. China intervenes. But this time there are no restrictions on US actions. We pound Manchuria and hammer the Chinese coast. 

[You know, this could be...-Ed] Don't say it....[a post WWIII World War 1990 novel, World War 1990: Korea. Make it after the election of 1992 with the new president having to deal with the crisis-Ed] Fuck![I can tell by your cursing you like the idea-Ed]  Fuck! [See- and you already have a vague plan for an apocalyptic 2000 war between Israel and Iraq-Ed].

Stroock's Books will toy with this idea all week. 

*The late Mark Stroock II once said in a Young & Rubicam meeting, 'Tell them, indirectly, to go fuck themselves'.
