  • It was a bright spring morning. I headed off to school as usual, but I couldn't stop thinking that something was different about this day. I started to
  • be suspicious in first period. Listening to the convo, the topic was generic, their words were too, even their delivery. It was a new day, but it had all been done before. An eerie
  • lake, Michigan woman entered the class room and sat down next to them. "I'm from a Great Lake." She said. Winked. Then burst into flames. This indeed was a strange, weird
  • way to teach the dangers of phoenixhood. "But I still want to be a phoenix," said Billy. "She'll rise from the ashes, right?" The teacher replied, "Sometimes." The pile of lady ash
  • was put into an urn on the shelf with all the other phoenixes who had never risen again. But Billy still wanted to be a magical bird. "I'll be a Roc then!" he shouted. "Your wish
  • will be granted... after this word from our sponsors!" The genie displayed a large flashing sign telling Billy to install a virus scanner on his crystal ball. "Make me a Roc NOW!"
  • The bartender was called and made a ROC on the spot. This was no ordinary bartender. He had an encyclopaedic knowledge of liqueurs.
  • Not only could he instantly concoct any cocktail you could demand without consulting a book, he could also quote everything he had ever read, which was mostly drink recipes.
  • Then came the day that a girl that looked like she might moonlight as a babysitter asked him for a River Lethe and he choked. He remembered the absinthe but not the pickle juice.
  • She took a big sip & sprayed it in his face. "No pickle juice! I like it!" "So why'd you spray it in my face?" "I do that when I like a drink." "Oh… wanna baby-sit for me?" "Nope."

    I am thinking somebody reminiscent of Elizabeth Shue for the babysitter and Billy Zane as Billy.

    Jack Black would play the bartender who would be named, "Sue... yah, just like the song."

    I'd like to see Catherine O'Hara as the eerie phoenix woman.
