Very welcome, of course, old boy.
A few people in my family had pneumonia a few years back, and it lasted forever.
As usual (
Star Wars, Marvel), it takes me ages to watch movies and especially TV shows—so I’m still actually on Season 1 on
The X-Files, haven’t seen an episode in a long time. I just caught “The Lost Art of Forehead Sweat” because it was on TV, and I’d read that it had involved two interests of mine, the “Mandela effect” and
The Twilight Zone. So, anyway, “Jose Chung’s
From Outer Space” was highly recommended to me by a pal who’s a big
X-Files fan, but I’m trying to make some more progress in Season 1, at least, before skipping around to some more episodes (but I may end up skipping around anyway—I’m so bad about following TV shows in order).
That pal and I had a real stupid idea for an
X-Files episode the other day, in the “Forehead Sweat”/“Jose Chung” comedy mold—about a monster/demon/witch/alien that stole everyone’s pants (I know, stupid) in the middle of a snowstorm in Buffalo, NY. Mulder would be the only one not to get his pants stolen because he would be in a cast—turning the episode into a parody of
TZ’s “The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street” (i.e., the townspeople would think that he’s the monster because he’s the only not to be affected by the pants-stealing monsters). Intended to be really silly, a parody of the central concept. We also invented an über-skeptical FBI agent, so skeptical as to make Scully look like a believer, as an anti-Mulder—we even gave him a name, Agent Adam U. Strunk! Yup, goofy, but we had fun inventing it. Doubt that Carter
et al. would be interested, though.
