Seeing news, I note he just gave “Parasite” a kick.<\/p>\n

Think he wanted that title for his own bio-pic.<\/div>\n
I’m sure we can probably find a better one than that,<\/div>\n
a monster name like “Hairwolf” or maybe “Frankenfat.”<\/div>\n
A song title, perhaps, like Bowie’s “Man Who Sold the World,”<\/div>\n
or something native like “White Scalp with Nylon on it Swirled.”<\/div>\n
Maybe one that’s lots more fun like “Toilet Paper Trailer.”<\/div>\n
Or, “If It Weren’t For Bone Spurs I Would Likely Be A Sailor.”<\/div>\n
How ’bout ” Squandered All the Billions My Rich Daddy Gave Me,”<\/div>\n
or the catty “I will do Bill Barr if he will Save Me.”<\/div>\n
I like “Mail Order Bride Magnet,” think it’s got a ring.<\/div>\n
Then there’s “Get Out of Jail Free, As Long as You Don’t Sing.”<\/div>\n
“Nero Two” does not quite do, but “Caligula” might,<\/div>\n
though it translates “Little Boots,”\u00a0 “Tiny Hands” is more right.<\/div>\n
Perhaps “The Furor” or “The Sniffer” sound a bit more gangster.<\/div>\n
Or aim for anti-Mister Rogers, “Kids In Cages Prankster.”<\/div>\n
Of course, he might go biblical and choose “The Chosen One.”<\/div>\n
Or lean a bit toward mystery, like “Times Square, With a Gun.”<\/div>\n
Branding him is like a swim, can go in all directions.<\/div>\n
Blatantly, what we don’t want is “I Stole Two Elections.”<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
